Is your mantelpiece filling up with save the dates? Summer (and autumn, gah!) weekends fast filling with B&B bookings, carpools and flights to Tuscan vineyards and Ibizan agroturismos? Wedding season is fast approaching friends, but what in the father, son and Holy Ghost’s name are you going to wear?
For men, different dress codes tend to be fairly prescriptive but for women the choice can feel overwhelming. “I always consider versatility, surroundings, and most importantly comfort,” says Natalie Dickson, head of women’s luxury at Flannels. “In other words; can I dance in it? Is it appropriate for the location? And will it survive past dinner?” Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear at Matches Fashion, agrees. “Start by thinking about the destination, is it a beach wedding, a chic summer city wedding or a countryside escape? Then, build your outfit around the location.”
