Weddings are all about the happy couple, (Although some may argue they're just about the bride.) Of course, guests still have to dress to the nines. They just have to be careful not to become the center of attention and admiration. It's not the guests' special day, after all. Which makes shopping for winter wedding guest looks tricky. Especially because you also have the cold weather to contend with. But, if you search hard enough, there are outfits that'll keep you looking good and feeling warm.
I have to admit that this article is a little self-serving. My brother is getting married on February 22 and in addition to making travel arrangements, I've been spending my spare time scouring the internet for a suitable and sartorially-pleasing ensemble. First and foremost, my concern has been on trying to find something that'll prevent me from shivering during the church ceremony. I also need to track down a look that's truly stylish. So I made sure to widen my search criteria. I'm still considering dresses, but I'm also considering everything from jumpsuits to tuxedos.
Price is also a concern. If I spend a substantial amount, I have to be able to wear said look more than once. Another way around the financial conundrum is to pick up a fancy skirt or jacket to jazz up something already hanging in my closet. Both Essentiel Antwerp's satin maxi skirt and Mango's rhinestone-accented midi will look great with a tucked white button-down a la Carolina Herrera. Same goes for & Other Stories' cropped jacquard jacket, just instead of a skirt the shirt will be tucked into black suit trousers.
Keep reading to discover all of the winter wedding guest looks I'm currently considering and see if they may work for whatever wedding you have on your calendar.
