Wedding Guest Outfit Ideas; Town Wedding
The jumpsuit
While English country weddings call for high romance and floral fancy, you can afford to be a little more edgy in a town setting. Of course, if the venue in question is a grand hotel with high ceilings and classic English décor, the country wedding dress code may be more appropriate. But if the town setting has more of an edge, so too should your outfit. A pretty printed jumpsuit or trouser ensemble is the perfect choice; more comfortable than a romantic maxi dress and more forgiving than a bodycon. These are our current favourites…
Topshop Floral Cold Shoulder Jumpsuit, £55
Paper London Sunflower Top Striped, £249 and Trousers, £295
Cityshop wide leg cami jumpsuit, £254
Tome Bow-detailed striped cotton-poplin jumpsuit, £1,015
Isabelle Fox Brigitte Co-ord in Capri Blue, top £155, trousers, £145.
The dress
Don’t discount the classic wedding guest dress for your next town affair. Simply think more cocktails at the Ritz than royal garden party for your go-to gown. Florals are still in the frame, but bold colourful prints take preference over floaty fabrics and pastel palettes. Here are a few current options…
Self Portrait Claret floral guipure lace dress, £280
Roksanda Margot coral bell-sleeve dress, £1,040
Rochas Draped floral-print cady dress, £397.50, The Outnet
The accessories
From floral fascinators to perfect pumps, we’ve got our pick of the perfect town wedding accessory options from the current collections. Don’t be afraid to make a statement with a playful clutch or oversized hat; just don’t upstage the bride, OK? For more headwear ideas see our 2017 hats edit, here.
