Selecting A Wedding Guest Pant Suit – Dos and Don’ts

 

Receiving a wedding invite, especially if it is someone close to you is fun and exciting initially but then the worries begin. What do you wear for the wedding? What should be the matching accessories, hairstyle, and heels or flats? Do you wear the traditional gown or a more modernistic wedding guest pant suit? This post will take you through the dos and don’ts of selecting a dress and how to know which attire is appropriate for the occasion.

By a rule of thumb, one of the easiest ways to arrive at a decision is to scrutinize the wedding card, know the venue and carry out some research on it. The clues to what to wear will be embedded there. Visit the site and check the photos of what guests to previous weddings there have worn. If it is long flowing gowns or a dressier and high-end wedding guest pant suit, the wedding will be a formal occasion. If floral dresses and similar attire is the norm there, the wedding is a light, informal event. 


 

Additionally, scan the card for an indication of any theme or dress code. It might range from a formal do in a church to an informal beach wedding. If the couple has decided on a specific dress code like all-white or all-red and no other restrictions, choosing a dress becomes that much easier. Simply walk into a well-known retail store, a wedding boutique, or order from a reputed online platform for that color dress or wedding guest pant suit,and your dress etiquette worries are laid to rest.

In general, here are some tips on what wedding guests should wear based on the level of formality.

On top of the pile is the formal black-tie church wedding and is generally held in the evenings. A full-length flowing gown with the ankles covered is most suitable for the event. Slightly lower on the formal level is the cocktail weddings. Wear a cocktail dress that has a typical sophistication about it. You can also wear a tea-length, midi, or knee-length dress.

Finally, there are the casual and laid-back affairs which are held outdoors, say a beach wedding. Here a summer dress with wedges or dressy sandals will be very appropriate.

Follow these tips to be suitably ready for any wedding.
