Weddings are perfect opportunities to play dress up for both men and women alike. However, it’s a bit more for women as they all want to look their best. Best in this sense is dresses and gowns, basically. This brings us to the question of whether or not rompers are appropriate for weddings.
Yes, you can wear a romper to a wedding if style if styled for the occasion. Sophisticated fabric like silk or chiffon, is perfect for weddings. While at it, avoid casual prints or overly revealing styles. Accessorize appropriately for a polished and elegant look, befitting of a wedding.
This blog post will show you how to style a romper for wedding.
How to Style Your Rompers for a Wedding
1. Choose the right one
A romper that looks like it belongs on the beach or at Coachella isn’t going to cut it for what’s supposed to be one of the most special days of your life. Instead, go with a dressier version that will work well in an elegant setting like a church or reception hall.
Some rompers are designed specifically with weddings in mind and will have some pretty details like lace trimming or embroidery on them. The most important thing is being comfortable but having some sparkle never hurt anyone either.
2. Wear glamorous accessories
Elevate your romper with the right accessories. Choose statement jewelry like a bold necklace or chandelier earrings to add glamour. Pair with a stylish clutch or small handbag and opt for elegant heels or dressy flats.
3. Mind the length
Pay attention to the length of your romper. Aim for one that falls at or slightly above the knee for a classy and flattering look. Avoid overly short styles that may appear too casual or inappropriate for a wedding.
4. Rock chic hairstyles and makeup
Complete your wedding-ready look with a chic hairstyle and polished makeup. Consider styling your hair in a sophisticated updo or soft waves, and opt for a makeup look that enhances your natural features while adding a touch of elegance.
Factors that Determine Whether or Not You Can Wear a Romper to a Wedding?
Here are a few factors you should consider:
1. The type of wedding
The kind of romper you choose will depend on the type of wedding you’re attending. If it’s a more formal affair, like a black-tie soiree or a large ceremony in an outdoor venue, then your best bet is to go with an elegant one-piece number that has some structure.
This can be anything from a high-necked sheath dress with an attached blouse to an off-the-shoulder wrap dress paired with heels. For something more casual, like a summertime wedding at the beach, opt for something less structured a sleeveless shift dress that hits above the knee would be perfect here.
2. Where the wedding is being held
Next, consider the location of the wedding. Will your attire clash with the venue or will it complement? You don’t want to be that guy wearing a tuxedo at a casual beach wedding. But you also don’t want to be that girl who looks like she’s wearing pajamas at an elegant black-tie affair. If you’re not sure what would work best for your attire, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and dress up more than down especially if it’s someone else’s wedding.
3. Whether or not it is an evening wedding
It is important to consider whether your wedding will be held during the day or in the evening. Most weddings are held in the evening, especially if they are formal. If you’re attending a daytime wedding, then rompers may be appropriate; however, if it’s evening and your dress code is cocktail attire, skip the romper and opt for something more elegant like a maxi dress or jumpsuit.
4. Whether or not you are just a guest, or if you are the maid of honor or the bride’s best friend.
The main question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you are attending the wedding as a guest, or if you are the maid of honor or the bride’s best friend.
If you are just a guest at the wedding, then there is no problem with wearing a romper because it won’t impact anyone else’s experience.
If however, you are either serving as an attendant in any capacity (as in being part of the bridal party) or if you’re one of the bride’s closest friends who will be there to celebrate with her on her special day then I’d say that some extra thought should be put into what kind of outfit will work best for this situation.
5. If the wedding is at a very formal venue.
You should always be mindful of the dress code when attending a wedding. If you are going to a very formal wedding, leave the romper at home. You may have seen celebrities wear rompers on the red carpet for their own weddings, but if you want to make sure you are dressed appropriately for your friend’s big day then stick with a dress.
What Would Make Wearing a Romper to a Wedding Inappropriate?
Wearing a romper to a wedding may be considered inappropriate when it reveals too much flesh. While this rule applies almost universally across all clothing types, it may be amplified when considering what people expect at weddings versus other formal events where clothes are worn in different ways.
Also, your choice of neckline can render wearing a romper to a wedding unacceptable. Therefore, the neckline of your romper should be high enough that it covers your cleavage, but not so high that it looks like a halter top or strapless dress.
Secondly, consider how short your romper is: if it’s so short that anyone who sees it would get an eyeful when they look down, then wear something else instead.
Other Outfits You Can Wear to a Wedding
You can wear a dress, skirt, jumpsuit, or gown to a wedding. If you’re the kind of person who likes the look of an overall but doesn’t want to commit to the full romper or if you just don’t think it’s appropriate for your body type here are some other options:
1. Dresses
Dresses are great because they’re comfortable and easy to wear. You can find one that fits your style in any number of styles or fabrics: lace, silk chiffon, velvet, etc. There’s no wrong choice here.
2. Skirts
Skirts aren’t as popular as dresses but they still make a statement. Just remember that while many people like short skirts on wedding guests, there will be some occasions where they’re inappropriate for such an occasion. Be aware of this potential criticism when choosing what length skirt will work best with your outfit.
3. Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits are another option if you aren’t sure about wearing something from head-to-toe rompers; this piece combines both legs and sleeves into one seamless look without compromising comfort or style. They come in all sorts of patterns too so go wild picking whatever feels right for this special occasion.
Conclusion
You can wear a romper to a wedding if it’s the right fit, that is. Romper is one of the hottest trends for summer, so make sure to shop around before purchasing one. If you want to try wearing a romper as part of your wedding day attire, make sure that it’s not too low cut or revealing. Also, ensure that there aren’t any straps or anything else making this piece uncomfortable while sitting at the ceremony or reception.
