What is Wedding Etiquette?
August 17, 2022Can you wear a maxi dress to a wedding?
October 31, 2024If you are looking for casual elegance for a wedding, a jumpsuit could be the perfect choice. Chic but comfortable, modern but stylish and fabulous for all ages, jumpsuits provide a perfect smart alternative to the traditional dress or wedding suit.
As with all the top designs, tailoring is everything and you should make sure your jumpsuit fits beautifully. It should be contoured but not tight with the hem grazing the floor once you have your shoes on to create a sophisticated, flowing line.
If you have a loose trouser, try to ensure the top is fitted and vice versa so your look is carefully balanced and attractive.
A wedding’s dress code will influence what design of jumpsuit is best. For a formal wedding – or black tie event – go for classic colours such as black, navy, silver or jewel tones in a sophisticated fabric such satin. For a semi-formal occasion, a jumpsuit made from fabrics such as silk or chiffon in natural colours or subtle patterns will work best. And if it is a casual wedding, a light fabric such as linen would be perfect, either in bold colours or featuring a floral print.
Jumpsuits lend themselves perfectly to accessorizing. Belts can be used to accentuate your waist with metallic or jewelled belts being ideal for a wedding.
Matching jewellery can bring the whole look together with statement earrings and necklaces adding a touch of glamour to enhance the look or simpler jewellery if your jumpsuit is already full or colour or impact.
Heeled shoes will make your legs look even longer giving a flattering clean line from shoulder to floor while strappy sandals can be work for a more casual look while also offering comfort and style.
Handbags are a must for every outfit and the right bag will be another excellent way to dress up your wedding jumpsuit. A small smart clutch bag can make your outfit more formal or you can go for a more casual – but nonetheless fashionable – bag if the event is more informal.
A cute jacket will finish the look. Whether it is a bolero jacket or classic blazer, either in the same or contrasting colour, this will dress up your jumpsuit to be simply exquisite.
