Jacket to wear overdress to wedding
What to wear if you're stumped as to what to wear over your wedding guest gown (or jumpsuit or whatever).
Because of the heatwave, I went to a wedding last Saturday expecting it to be hot. Instead, that was not the case. It was a cold day. If only the summer imposter - summer - hadn't fooled me.
Even though I bought my dress in the sales in January, I hadn't planned on what to wear over it, and it was too late by Saturday. I had no choice but to shiver, which I did.
Make certain you don't make the same error. Always be prepared. I (now) recommend bringing a sweater, even if the wedding is in the summer, and I still recommend bringing a backup dress/jumpsuit/whatever you fancy in case you turn up in the same dress as someone else.
It's worth mentioning that I used the word "jacket" instead of "coat." You may be wondering about the pashmina. No, that is not right. In 2018, a pashmina isn't fitting. Also, do not do it.
Coats for a Winter Wedding That Will Keep You Looking Elegant
As a wedding guest and a lover of the bride and groom, you have no say in the location and timing of the wedding. So, if the happy couple chooses a winter wedding, you should be prepared with what to wear to a winter wedding, particularly if it is held outside.
Wearing a jacket over a gown or dress to a wedding may be inconvenient for those who want to show off their stunning gown or dress, so why not make the coat a statement in and of itself? Wedding coats for guests maybe even more stunning than the gown; you may not want to take them off at all and wear them as your evening ensemble. If you're unsure what to wear over a formal dress in the winter, look no further than the choices below.
The black-on-black attack
If you're going to a wedding in all black (you should, after all), use the chance to de-funeralize it with a stunning dress. Choose a bold color (and maybe some matching heels) and smooth material. I like the kimono theme, and it's even better when it comes with a belt.
Cape Cape-styles
Are what bikers to other leather jackets when it comes to blazers. They're just a smidgeon cooler. The Zara cape shown above is also available in black, but you can wear a white jacket over your wedding guest dress if the rest of your ensemble isn't white.
Meghan Markle is a British royal
This new belted coat from H&M is available now for the new season, and it's a lovely look to layer over a wedding guest gown during the colder months. When Meghan Markle became engaged to Prince Harry, she popularized the look.
In case you were curious, you can wear a trench in the slightly colder months. A clean and tidy belted trench.
The Harvest
You may wear a crop top with a jacket, as I've previously said. Over a high-waisted skirt, jeans, or dress with a cinched waist, a little cropped jacket like the military-style from PLT would look lovely.
