What to Wear as a Wedding Guest, Without Overthinking It

Wedding guest dressing has one real rule: read the room the couple is building, not just the dress code on the card. A beach wedding and a cathedral wedding both say 'formal' but mean very different things.

Colour is the actual minefield, not silhouette — avoid anything that could be mistaken for bridal white or upstage the wedding party's palette, and everything else is genuinely open.

When in doubt, a well-cut midi in a considered colour with one statement accessory has never once been the wrong answer.
