Wedding troubles

When the joy of a childhood friend getting married fades, summer begins, and the important date approaches, an unrelenting headache sets in. Since the latter is becoming unbearable, and the date indicated on the invitation is getting closer and closer, let's talk now about how to dress for a wedding before the headache turns into a migraine, and the wedding isn't even next weekend.

For a new dress – NO

It goes without saying that a wedding is an occasion that requires etiquette, limits the choice of colors, and everyone wants a special guest effect. However, if you have several weddings and a christening coming up in the summer, it is most likely that one dress will not be enough, and buying a new one for each celebration completely contradicts the philosophy of sustainable fashion, which has become even stronger after the quarantine, not to mention the costs.

Although one dress guarantees a bunch of possibilities (changing accessories, shoes, makeup and hairstyles), you yourself will not want to wear the same one to several celebrations in a row, this is what happens to us women. A black dress, no matter how universal it is, will not be suitable for summer celebrations and weddings in general. The same goes for white - at a wedding, white is only for the bride. All pastel colors are especially suitable for summer weddings, you can boldly choose all bright tones. However, it is better to look for another outfit, not a new dress.

Choose a luxurious skirt

Having two skirts made of good fabric means you are ready for all the festivities. Good fabrics in this case are tulle, silk, satin, a shiny linen-silk blend, velvet (the latter would be more suitable for a jacket), etc. Do not choose cotton, which is ideal for everyday wear, but often (if it is natural, without impurities, it creases and does not look very elegant), and synthetics are also not advisable, as they will be hot, especially on a hot summer day and even more so when dancing begins. In addition, synthetics can cause unpleasant problems if the skirt starts to stick to the skin, ride up, or simply does not keep the required shape.

When choosing a color, the first thing you should do is buy a skirt in shades of champagne or sand that goes with everything. Such a skirt is very easy to combine with both darker, brighter, and neutral colored tops. In addition, it will not get tired due to its neutrality, and you can wear it to several parties where the same friends will attend. By changing your top, you will look different and no one will remember that you are wearing the same skirt as at other friends' previous weddings. Such a skirt will save you not only when preparing for a wedding, but also for christenings - black does not look very appropriate at these parties.

If you have the opportunity, it's ideal to buy another skirt. Choose blue, wine, asphalt tones - these colors are also very versatile, and you can easily match them when getting ready for a Christmas party.

When choosing a length - long or knee-length. A short skirt will not be as versatile, it will be a little more difficult to coordinate everything so that the combination looks gorgeous and luxurious. There may also be all sorts of worries - a short and tight skirt restricts movements, can ride up, so you can accidentally show more than you would like on the dance floor. In addition, a short skirt requires you to wear high heels - so that your legs look beautiful and long, you would maintain a beautiful posture.

Check out the closet inventory

Most people have clothes in their closet that haven't been seen outside of their closet for years, but they don't want to throw them away because of the fond memories or simply the great material. What if you took that item to a trusted tailor and had it remade so you could enjoy it again? You'll pay the tailor, but you won't have to buy new fabric (maybe just a few ribbons of lace and new zippers), and then you'll be able to tell the romantic story of a beautiful evening outfit: how a luxurious, beautiful long skirt from a mermaid tail that you received as a gift for your graduation turned into a charming, beautiful bell-shaped skirt that now fits your figure perfectly. And fans of sustainable fashion will applaud your awareness and rejoice in the revival of the skirt with you.

Don't forget your pants.

We are so used to choosing skirts and dresses for weddings and other formal occasions that we often don't even think about the fact that trousers can nominate us for the title of the most stylish party guest, make us feel especially comfortable, and when the night cools down, we won't even freeze when we go out to watch the fireworks. Of course, the trousers you wear at work or the most fashionable jeans will not work here. Choose champagne or bright fuchsia-colored skinny trousers with a high waist. If the trousers reveal your bones and are matched with high heels, you will look impressive. Match a monochrome blouse decorated with a ribbon or ruffles and long earrings according to your figure type. Both parts of the combination should be ideally suited to your silhouette and highlight your advantages. If everything is matched correctly, you will be very pleased with yourself later when you receive your wedding photos.

Borrow and pay

Don't have anything to wear? Rent. You can choose a dress that matches all the trends of this summer, look stunning and not worry that the same silhouette or pattern will be replaced by others next summer, because you can simply return the dress after the holiday. And it will definitely cost less than buying something new. If you are planning a summer vacation or want to spend more money on a wedding gift, you can find a free way to shine - ask a friend to open her closet. The only cost will be for cleaning the dress before returning it after the holiday. Your saviors.

Happy summer holidays!
