Manage episode 448610717 series 3563242
Have you been invited to a wedding this winter?
Putting a look together for a winter wedding can be challenging- especially finding something to wear that falls outside of the usual winter comfort zone or the go-to classic black.
Join us for inspiration on what to wear so you can feel confident, look amazing, and stay comfortable as a winter wedding guest!
Balancing Warmth and Style
When planning a winter wedding outfit, consider both comfort and elegance. The key is balancing warmth with style and understanding the venue, as different venues require different styles.
Dress Code Awareness
Don’t assume all winter weddings call for the same look. Check the dress code to ensure you dress appropriately for the venue, as each wedding has its vibe, and dress codes can vary.
Outerwear Essentials
Chic coats are essential for cold-weather weddings. A formal evening coat is ideal as it is warm and looks elegant. Down coats, while warm, may not fit the formality required, so opt for sophisticated materials on the outside and warmth on the inside.
Seasonal Colors and Textures
Winter offers a chance to explore rich colors and luxurious textures. Jewel tones like burgundy, aubergine, and olive green bring depth and sophistication to winter attire, while velvet and cashmere add warmth. If you gravitate toward black, experiment with textured or metallic elements for added visual interest and elegance.
Accessories for Elevating Style
Accessorizing adds a personalized touch to any outfit. Consider gloves, a standout bag, or statement jewelry to elevate a classic look. Evening gloves, especially in luxurious materials like kidskin, lend elegance and warmth to an ensemble, and adding sparkle through jewelry or a pop of color in shoes can enhance even a simple black outfit.
Practical Tips for Staying Warm
Layering is the key to staying warm at winter weddings. Layering a cashmere sweater or scarf over your dress can provide warmth on the way to the event, while easy-to-remove layers keep you comfortable once indoors. You can also combine practicality with chic by bringing warm boots for outdoor settings and heels for the reception.
Experimenting with Light Colors
Wearing lighter colors rather than traditional dark shades in winter can make a refreshing statement. Try light lavender or blue for a striking look. That unexpected choice can stand out beautifully while providing the warmth and coverage required for the season.
Trends
Current winter fashion trends can help you choose something stylish to wear. Velvet, feathers, sequins, and monochromatic looks are all inthis winter, bringing elegance and flair. Boho chic is best left out for weddings, while timeless choices like leopard print and chocolate brown can look stylish and refined.
