Dress Your Best: Wedding Guest Edition


Contrary to what some may think, looking gorgeous on the big days is not only her burden to bear. In fact, finding something to wear, as a guest of a wedding can be even trickier than shopping for a wedding gown – at least the bride has her outfit narrowed down to one color! Luckily for us wedding guests, fashionistas Hilary Kerr and Katherine Power, creators of the trendy website WhoWhatWear.com share their tips on how to dress for a black tie wedding in this excerpt from their new book, Who What Wear: Celebrity And Runway Style For Real Life.

Go For: Jewel tone, black, or navy dresses; floor-length or cocktail-length dresses; interesting, embellished accessories; faux fur jackets or shrugs

Steer Clear Of: White, cream, or ivory dresses; revealing cuts (too low, too short, too backless); casual fabrics (cotton, jersey, or polyester)

Risky Business: Sequins, prints, bright colors; red dresses

What We’d Wear: A strapless, vintage, emerald-green dress that hits the middle of our shins, gray fur wrap, gold and black strappy high heels, and a metallic evening bag
