Before wiping those tears away as your best mate walks down the aisle, there’s one very important decision to make. What to wear. And with that comes the lengthy outfit decision process and making sure no one else has shopped the same lace Self-Portrait dress.
Whilst searching for a midi, maxi or chic coordinated suit might sound fun, let me offer up one simple solution: the humble jumpsuit.
Once a wardrobe favourite in the stylish seventies, the jumpsuit is now an easy styling solution that works for every wedding season, all year round. And there’s a simple reason why: it’s comfortable, helping us solve one of the biggest wedding dilemmas of all.

A wedding is a bit like a marathon. It’s a full-day affair, which starts off slow and builds up towards a sprint (to the bar) at the end. And if it’s a spring or summer wedding, a jumpsuit — especially if it’s wide-legged or loose-fitting — will keep you nice and cool. Plus, they’re versatile. You can definitely wear the same jumpsuit again and again throughout wedding season if you style them with different accessories.
Just as appropriate for a wedding as traditional wedding guest dresses, the wedding guest jumpsuit adds something fresh to your long history of summer midis. Because no, you do not need to always wear a dress to navigate wedding guest dressing.

Choose a style with a tie waist to mask any desert seconds, or a cutout detail or low back, for an added twist. Then all you need is your favourite clutch and your dancing shoes. It really is as simple as that.
I would like to pronounce this, your easiest wedding outfit choice yet. So, without further ado, scroll down to see our top wedding guest jumpsuit picks:
Go for bold with statement jumpsuits
If you want to go all out, go for a bright bold colour or sequins. You’ll be ready for the dance floor in no time with any of these options, especially if you opt for equally eye-catching accessories. If you’re particularly keen on a ’70s vibe, team yours with platform heels. Or, you can dial down the drama with a strappy heel, and a baguette bag (to keep some emergency blister plasters in!)

Suit up with a tailored jumpsuit
If there’s ever an occasion to suit up, it’s a wedding. A tailored jumpsuit is the perfect middle ground between a full blazer and trouser suit and a slinky dress. They’re flattering, feminine, practical, and still modest enough to take from ceremony to party.
Style yours with a pair of strappy sandal heels, dainty jewellery and a matching clutch bag.

Keep it cute with a cut out jumpsuit
There’s nothing sexier than a little flash of skin in your outfit, by the way of a cut out detail, even for autumn weddings and winter weddings.
So if you’re looking for a confidence boost and you think a wedding guest jumpsuit can look a bit frumpy, then opt for one with cut out side or back panels.
It’s a great way to feel sexy whilst still remaining ceremony appropriate – and for a church wedding, you can pop a blazer over the top and whip it off when you start to throw some shapes at the reception.

Rock a wide leg style
There isn’t a body shape or size that the wide leg style doesn’t suit – it’s elegant, yet comfortable. The sassy silhouette instantly elevates a simple design and can have magical lengthening powers on any pins.
If you’re petite and worried about being drowned out, go for a cropped wide leg style. Otherwise make a statement and go full length, which also means you get to throw on your comfiest dancing shoes.
Dress up your wedding guest jumpsuit with a heeled sandal and blazer combo, throw on an easy crossbody bag for all the wedding top up essentials and finish with a pair of two-tone earrings.

Feel fabulous in a floral wedding guest jumpsuit
Whilst we might be banning midi dresses from here, we couldn’t rob you of the floral trend. It’s a pattern that keeps on giving.
Whether for summer or for autumn, a printed wedding guest jumpsuit will give serious seventies Daisy Jones and the Six vibes, especially when put together with matching sandals and a statement handbag.
Just make sure you’ve got a style with a high pulled in waist to elongate your legs. Trust us, in this look, it’ll be impossible to tear you away from the dance floor.
