Dressing for a wedding can be difficult sometimes.
Is it OOT fancy? A little lowkey? Can I wear black? Is it a family wedding? Friend’s wedding? There are so many factors that go into it.
But now Vogue has come up with a few rules about dressing for weddings, and we have to agree with most of them.
From staying true to yourself to wearing a cardi for an extra bit of comfort, here are Vogue’s top ten tips for dressing for a wedding:
1. Stick to your personal style – there’s no point trying to go for a style your not comfortable with. Stay true to your own style or else you’ll just feel uncomfortable for the entire day.
2. Avoid wearing pale colours – Vogue believes that wearing shades of white or pale colours will steal the bride’s thunder. And you don’t want to be that person.
3. Wear a niche brand – try go for a brand that’s out of the ordinary or an Irish designer to really stand out.
4. Avoid a fascinator – instead, Vogue suggest wearing a diamond hair clip, or something along those lines. Lowkey is best.
5. Don’t go matchy-matchy – don’t have your bag, shoes and coat all matching. It’s just way OTT.
6. Don’t wear fake tan – while we don’t 100 percent agree with this one, Vogue suggests staying natural for the day that’s in it.
7. Wear a cardigan for extra warmth – cardigans are no longer out, in face, they’re very much in. Take one with you in case you get chilly throughout the day.
8. Go for platforms or wedges – this way you’ll be able to stay on your feet all day long (and it won’t be too sore).
9. Ditch the clutch bag – it can be quite awkward to bring around with you and you’re only looking for it to be left behind in the venue.
10. Don’t be scared of wearing a dress twice – if you have a few weddings coming up around the same time, don’t worry about wearing the same dress. Just remember to be smart about accessorising.
