The right wedding guest attire can be a tough one. In theory, figuring out what to wear should be a doddle: as a guest, you don’t really have anything else to do but show up, enjoy the celebrations and have a good time. In reality, though, there’s a bit more to it than a simple invite: in what season is the wedding taking place? Will I need sleeves? A jacket, maybe? Where’s the location? Will I be able to walk in those shoes? Is it formal? Casual? For the fashion-forward guest, these questions can prove to be a bit of a quandary.
Consider the jumpsuit. In general, a jumpsuit is a great, inexpensive (two-outfits-in-one) option for a special occasion that will pay for itself after a couple of wears. Just like when Cinderella found her glass slipper, you’ll know when you find the perfect j-suit. It will sit comfortably on your body – not too tight and not too loose – hug your frame nicely but give you enough room to manoeuvre throughout the day.
