When you go to a wedding, you get dressed nicely – we all agree. In any case, motto fair, but definitely stylish.
Nevertheless, there are these, textiles missile moments on weddings from the Greyzone to the absolute Fashion-no-no:
As wedding photographers it is in our nature to let our eyes wander – and our sharpened blinkers sometimes catch sight of some fashion faux pas.
That’s why we thought we’d put together, which, as we find, do not come quite so chic: maybe the hem of the cocktail dress has come a little bit, or maybe the bridesmaid dresses are somewhat too similar , which can have an unwanted effect.
9 Things you should not wear at a wedding
- Black as the darkest night
So have you recently purchased a black designer jumpsuit? Congratulation. For the wedding of your friend, it should still stay in the closet, because black from head to toe is not conceivable as a clothes choice for one of the happiest festivals in life. Although it is immensely flattering for a variety of skin and figure types.
The reason is that we connect black with the serious events of life, for example with funerals.
Your option: If you still want to wear black, decide for a light, cheerful dress, possibly with sequins. A cocktail dress is the option for formal ceremonies.
- 2. A too permissive dress
Permissive clothes scream: “Look at me!” A no-go for weddings.
The reason: no one steals the bride’s show.
Your option: A little leg or décolleté is okay, but weddings are neither a place nor an opportunity to show the personal qualities.
- 3. Abilities
You are eccentric and like to wear this trait? Well, our world needs people to break the conventions. But not on the wedding day of your girlfriend / daughter / mother: Leave the crazy hat or your sari from the last India holiday in the closet.
The reason: Whoever chooses crazy accessories does this for a reason. And this could be interpreted by some guests as a shout-out for attention.
Your option: A fascinator. Cowboy boots that you hide under wide pants. Be creative, but do not sit down on your favourite attribute.
- 4. White
It is not a good idea to wear something that has even just a little similarities to a wedding dress even in the approach. Also, if the clothing colour is the one that best suits you and makes you look like an angel.
The reason: white is reserved for the bride and the bride alone.
Your option: stripes. A skirt. A blouse. Choose a piece in white and combine it with another favourite colour. What we find is: An off-whites linen dress for a summer wedding, or something white that stands in contrast to the wedding dress of the bride.
- 5. Jumpsuits
You’re going to a wedding, not a business meeting! Change your business personality and get the flower child out of you.
The reason: The wedding celebrates the union of two people who want to spend their lives together. As a guest you can calmly express your joy with your outfit.
Your option: Business clothing does not belong to a wedding, basta. Sorry Star.
- 6. Sportswear
Also quite far up on the “no-go list”: Sporty sweater or even Juicy couture show-off. Also the excuse that you are cold is not valid in this case. Blazer, scarves or cashmere sweaters can fit the wedding dress code.
The reason: the couple paid wedding photographers a lot of money to shoot beautiful photos. Untidy garments attract unintentional glances and ruin the images.
Your option: A sporty outfit? Sure, there are quite a few ways to combine a sporty attitude. Even elegant sports treads can be quite fine.
- 7. Red & Animal prints
Animal style: leopard look and then combined with the colour red: red is a signal colour and for many people the colour of the wickedness: therefore this colour is not liked on weddings.
The reason: Animal prints scream: “I’m here, and I want attention!” Just like red.
Your option: Leo may be! Perhaps in a girlish tone or nature colour, possibly combined with a chiffon top and sleek accessories. Are there any varieties of nail varnish?
No-Gos: Pair the leopard look with a crimson handbag and lipstick, all too eye-catching. Leave it in the closet.
- 8. Jeans & T-Shirt
No, it does not matter that the marriage takes place outdoors and that the bride is as loose on it as no one else in your circle of friends.
Whether on the beach, in mamma’s garden or in the forest: If you are bothered to show up at a wedding, your favourite jeans and the comfortable T-shirt can remain in the closet.
The reason: we have already mentioned it once or twice, but with your clothes selection you show respect to the bride and groom.
Your option: Down to earth works wonderfully: Pretty dresses are also available in the simple version; And fashionable pants can be combined with a white blouse.
- 9. Everything that shows too much
Not only with the wrong colours can one enter the fat nap, too much skin is taboo: Popping hot pants, too much cut-out or transparent parts: Everything that shows too much skin does not belong to the wedding. Despite summer temperatures.
The reason: nobody steels the brides show. No way.
Your option: If you like to wear shorts, choose a model that is neither of jeans and not too short. If you want to show a little skin, you can show an elegant, solid colour dress with a little back cut. Noble, feminine and sexy, right?
