Dress codes aside, when attending a wedding always stick to your style. There’s no need to succumb to overblown florals and the peculiar form of wedding panic. Forget the cupcake colours if you always wear black and if you decide to wear florals pair it with a fierce pair of heels.

Here are six ways to elevate your next wedding guest get-up and who knows, you may just be the best dressed without even trying.

Floor Length Gowns

So you’ve been invited to a wedding and the dress code is – Black Tie. If you’re stumped for ideas, just remember, you can’t go wrong with a floor-length gown. Finding an appropriate floor-length dress or gown for weddings and formal occasions can be challenging at the best of times but when hemlines are growing shorter by the minute, your options are minimal.

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

A cocktail wedding in the city is a time to elevate your party dress and what better way than with some extra glitz and glam. Think metallic and sequined numbers, short hems and tasteful cutouts.

All Black Is Better Than White

The unspoken rule of wearing white: never steal a bride’s thunder! So we’re making a case for black because if black is your neutral or you’re doing the whole minimalist thing, then go for it – forgo the fascinator and just make sure your accessories are blingy.

Patterned Number

The only time it’s okay to wear white. Depending on the location of the wedding, one thing’s for sure, if it’s a country garden wedding or an outdoor wedding nothing quite screams spring and romance like a patterned or floral dress.

To Have and to hold

We’re saying, bye to clutch bags and hello to fun-sized top-handle bags. Take it from brands like Jacquemus who single-handedly made the miniature bag mainstream. An instant icebreaker as you settle it in your elbow while negotiating champagne.

FOOT PLAY

After two years of loungewear, we’re seeing a strong shoe game come through for 2022. From embellishments to interesting heels, major players like Saint Laurent and Acne are both signing on to the trend, making a case for wedges and platforms.  It’s time to brush off those fluffy sandals and start walking in some serious heels again.
