Women: Trousers to a wedding?

Gloomendoom

Asking for Mrs G.

We are invited to a wedding and it's likely to be freezing. She wants to be warm and that really rules out the whole of the frock section of her wardrobe.

Are trousers ok or is she risking a faux pas and consequent social exile?

Is the wedding outside? Most venues have central heating!

But I'd say that appropriate trousers are OK - i.e. tailored, or even possibly jersey flowing wide legs, but NOT leggings or jeans style.

Absolutely no problem at all,


How about, black trousers, black slinky top and a white jacket, short and fitted. A shrug under the jacket will be unseen and keep her back warm, I love black and white......

Don't know how it was viewed by others, but I wore trousers to my nephew's wedding. Obviously not just day to day ones .

My mum wore a beautiful cream trouser suit to my wedding, and she gave me away, she looked fabulous had so many compliments, so yes as long they aren't too casual looking teamed with a lovely blouse and lovely accessories would look very classy.
Oh and def high a heel as you can manage so they fall nicely.

As long as you look smart then whether you wear trousers, skirt or a dress is unimportant. All any bride/groom wants is their friends and loved ones to come and share their day, and as a bonus to look like they've made an effort. I'd be shocked at jeans for a day guest, and would notice anyone who looked very casual or wore a white dress. I also wouldn't like too many guests wearing black as it's supposed to be a celebration and be full of colour, but that's about it.

The ceremony is in a church... a very old one. Outside will probably be warmer.

She does heels up to 6". Too high might not be appropriate though?

P.s fake fur is very 'in'at the moment and looks good on any age, especially vintage ones, this could be a good way to keep warm.
pp.s don't mean a bet lynch type thing!

Depends on the trousers if they fall over the shoe and heel, the higher the better and with most of the heel covered so she will have the height without it being an obvious very high heel which I agree could be inappropriate.
Tight or cropped trousers definitely not a massive heel.

One of our guests wore trousers she looked lovely with a jacket and a dressy top underneath
