I would wear my '70s jumpsuit to a wedding no problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617734 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:40:08 +0000 Eliza 1617734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries. People have to wear what works for them. I had 3 weddings the year I broke my foot. I had to wear &nbsp;"real" shoes to be comfortable and wider leg dressy pants with a tuxedo jacket and silk top fit the bill nicely. </p> <p>(I did attend a roaring twenties, over the top extravaganza wedding; the bride directly requested Downton Abbey level costumery of guests. Sheesh... I was told I could dress "like Lady Mary". &nbsp;Yes, if I had a team to dress me, a designer at the ready, and was thirty years younger I could.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617726 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:29:33 +0000 Anonymous 1617726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it would be a problem as long as it was dressy enough for the wedding. Some weddings are more formal than others, so you'd have to use good judgment. If it were my wedding, I personally wouldn't mind how guests showed up. The important thing would be that they cared enough to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617573 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 03:18:52 +0000 Janet 1617573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting observations. I wouldn't think it would be an issue, as long as it's dressy enough to fit the environmental norm.</p> <p>I'm going to be a stepmom-of-the- groom this summer, and I'm already fretting about finding something to wear. August in the mid-Atlantic, ugh. My stepson's fiancé is going to send me a swatch of her bridesmaids' fabric -- I'm holding my breath and hoping it's something I can coordinate with easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617571 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 03:12:40 +0000 Aquamarine 1617571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely appropriate if dressy and accessorized. My wedding was 28 years ago, and the only guest outfit I remember was a relative wearing an elegant black suit. In photos, her outfit is the only one that doesn't look dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617517 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 01:27:16 +0000 gradfashionista 1617517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, yes! I've tried on a few lace jumpsuits by J.Crew but the fit was way off and I had kind of given up on finding an affordable lace jumpsuit. I've been eyeing a teal Tibi jumpsuit, but I'm not sure the price is worth the trendiness of the item. Poor guy with the Henley--obviously a cry for help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617505 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 01:08:39 +0000 Style Fan 1617505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A jumpsuit is great wedding attire Anna.&nbsp; I would not wear a pant suit to a wedding if I was the Step MoB or Step MoG.&nbsp; Not sure why.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617504 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 01:03:59 +0000 annagybe 1617504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not quite the same, but I wore a long sleeve full length floral silk jumpsuit to a wedding last October. I was far from underdressed as compared to other guests. Memo to guy, a Henley shirt, really?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617490 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 00:46:23 +0000 Joua to the Rescue 1617490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes they are! They must be 1) well fitted 2) yes ,not flashy 3) but classy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617473 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 00:20:18 +0000 Anonymous 1617473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I've read, they are fine. I think they are nice and put together and not too flashy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617447 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 23:22:21 +0000 Echo 1617447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely. If one can wear a pants suit to a presidential nominee debate. one can wear a pants suit to a wedding, IMO. Personally, I would choose a dress, but many women choose not to wear dresses or skirts for various reasons, and that is their prerogative.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617431 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:46:34 +0000 Diana 1617431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so.&nbsp; I know many women who do not like to wear skirts or dresses for various reasons.&nbsp; They wear pants suits (or even just dressy pants with fancy tops) and look perfectly appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617430 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:37:43 +0000 MsMaven 1617430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I've seen many dressy pant suits at weddings. Usually the pants are the loose, flowy, evening pants or pajamas. I can't remember ever seeing a MOB or MOG in a pants suit though. I don't wear dresses very often, but I do prefer to wear a dress to a wedding. I've been rethinking that lately. I have looked for evening pants outfits and haven't seen much lately. Dresses are such a pain to find as far as suitability and fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617428 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:34:18 +0000 Style Fan 1617428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have worn pant suits to weddings.&nbsp; Several times.&nbsp; One time was a black wool Sarah Pacini suit that had wide legged pants with a cropped tuxedo like jacket.&nbsp; The shirt was black shiny material.&nbsp; I wish I still had that suit.<br />Another time I wore black wide legged pants (I am a big fan of these) and a cream lace top.&nbsp; My jacket was black velvet.</p> <p>I am not always proper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-pant-suits-proper-wedding-guest-attire#post-1617424 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:23:11 +0000 gradfashionista 1617424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a longish explanation that provides the context of this question, but I'll spare you the details. </p> <p>(FWIW, I believe they are.) </p>
