Six things you should never, ever wear to a wedding as a guest You should never be caught wearing these outfits to a wedding

There’s always that one "guest" who turns up dressed completely inappropriately at every wedding,  but that guest doesn't have to be you!

You should by all means avoid these outfits if you don't want to be that "guest"

 

1. Something Skimpy

Nothing screams “look at me” like a skimpy outfit.

There’s nothing wrong with showing off a little leg or décolleté every once in a while, but there’s a time and place for such things, and weddings aren’t one of them. Apart from the fact that you would have 'you' tug your  dress down and then adjusting it back up only to have to repeat that over and over again, other guests will notice you and that is quite embarrasing.

 

2.  Jeans and a T-shirt

No matter how casual the wedding is and how laid-back the bride in question might be, attending in jeans and a T-shirt is not an option.

It doesn’t matter if it’s on the beach, in your mom’s backyard, or even if you don’t know the couple very well. If you’re bothering to show up, the least you can do is throw on a dress. Also, just to be clear, don’t even think about slipping on a pair of flip-flops. Pumps, heels, flats, loafers and sandals are a go, but plastic footwear is a huge wedding no-no.

 

3.  A Tiara

Do not, under any circumstances, wear a tiara to any wedding other than your own. Not only is it disrespectful to the bride, it’ll just make you look desperate and ridiculous.

This rule, of course, extends to crowns, ornamental headbands or anything else that could be mistaken for a tiara or any other headpiece the bride may choose to wear.

 

4. A Pantsuit

You’re going to a wedding, not a meeting at the office!

Drop the business persona and show your style in a skirt, dress or any kind of clothing that would look out of place with a coffee stain. This is a celebration of two people choosing to unite their lives together forever, so the least you can do is find something that isn’t overly stuffy and businessy to wear. This rule also applies to pretty pastel skirt-jacket combos. They might work for a dinner event, but they just set the wrong tone for weddings.

 

5.  White

It’s never a good idea to wear anything that could be mistaken for a wedding dress. Avoid wearing white. Unless you were invited to a white-themed wedding, don’t take attention away from the bride by showing up in a white gown. Trust me, people will talk!

 

6. Ladies, wear appropriate undergarments

In other words, please wear underwear, or Spanx, or something under your dress. This is especially important if you decide to wear something short.
