They say ‘never wear white to A wedding’ but what about black?
For a time I would have said black was far too morbid a shade to wear to a wedding. I love my brights, so any excuse I have to wear them and I usually jump at the chance (prints galore). Recently however, I’ve been seeing how simpler pieces can sometimes be a good investment, as they can be worn for more than one occasion.
Styling a classic black dress, or in this case a jumpsuit, the right way can easily make it wedding guest worthy. I’d say the key is to liven up your outfit with brighter accessories and avoid black shoes/accessories if possible. Remember you’re not going to a funeral and if it looks like you could be, change it!
The great thing about wearing black is that you have more opportunity to play with colours and patterns when picking out your accessories. A statement pair of shoes can really add that wow factor to an otherwise simple outfit. I went for this bold metallic pair that I recently purchased from Primark and this gorgeous gold/pearlescent effect bag from The Vintage styler. My gold chunky necklace added just a bit of bling and finished off my outfit perfectly.

I would maybe wear it. I’m actually going to a wedding this summer but I opted for a summer dress instead…I know, I’m boring :/

Yay! I’m so happy I came across your post. I found this designer black jumpsuit and was going back and forth if I should wear it to a fall wedding, that’s tomorrow. Of course my boyfriend said “Aren’t you not supposed to wear black to a wedding”? I said “boy don’t you know that’s old school. I’m going to find some colored accessories and rock it. You look gorgeous by the way. Thank you!
Sure, it’s all about how you wear it. I’m sure you’ll great! Have fun at the wedding. =D
