Who already has multiple wedding invites in their diaries? This year is of course busier than the previous two, and with so many upcoming occasions, what do we wear for all of them? While there are certain brands we always turn to for amazing wedding guest looks (looking at you, Rixo), when it comes to wedding guest outfits we love for spring, we’ve found some alternatives to the usual equation of dress + heels.
Some of the most stylish women on Instagram are the ones who have dressed for different occasions for many years. And those who are over 50 have been giving us all a lesson in how to dress for a wedding no matter the location. They're providing all the guest inspiration we could ask for, including printed suits, Bermuda-short coordinating sets, and flattering puff-sleeved dresses, all of which we now want to try out for our upcoming wedding plans. Here are six women over 50 who have mastered the art of getting ready for a stylish ceremony.
1. Pink Dress + Coordinating Flats + Straw Hat
Style Notes: Pink dresses are always a good idea. Stay comfy all day long in fancy flats, and add a straw hat as Paula did for warm-weather weddings.
2. Shorts Suit + Coordinating Accessories
Style Notes: Shorts for a wedding may not be the most obvious choice, but the longer, tailored Bermuda style works. Make like
Renia Jazdzyk and style as a sharp suit with color-coordinating heels and a bag.
3. Long-Sleeve Top + Midi Skirt
Style Notes: Instead of a midi dress, why not try a midi skirt? Pair it with a long-sleeve top and go for an unlikely color combo like Grece Ghanem did for a look that'll wow.
4. High-Waisted Trousers + Tank Top + Blazer
Style Notes: Yep, you can wear a tank top to a wedding. Go for a fitted, good-quality iteration, and wear it with smart high-waisted trousers and a tailored blazer. Push up the sleeves just like Mette Sorrig did to make it feel more cool than corporate.
5. A-Line Midi Dress + Heels
Style Notes: A dress with a fitted top and flared hemline instantly feels dressy. Keep it grown up by sticking to a midi length like Elaine's, and opt for minimal, fuss-free accessories.
6. Statement Suit + Coordinating Shoes
Style Notes: A power suit never fails to make an entrance. There are loads of color-block styles this season, but Lyn Slater shows why a punchy print needs minimal effort to look incredible.
