Jumpsuits For Wedding Guests
Jumpsuits have become a popular wardrobe piece for the past several seasons, and they are absolutely appropriate as wedding guest attire, just as long as the jumpsuit suits the occasion, and that you're comfortable wearing one of the one-piece items!
Fall wedding season is starting, and, in my view, dressy jumpsuits are particularly appropriate for fall and cold weather wedding attire. Here's why: there are certainly some lovely jumpsuits for any season, but quite often, the warmer temperatures just suit light breezy dresses or skirts!
For the colder season of fall weddings, you want a chic look, but possibly a little extra warmth, so it's the perfect time of year to don a jumpsuit! Jumpsuits offer the comfort of pants, with the one-piece ease and head-to-toe style of a gown!

How to Make Sure Your Jumpsuit is Wedding Appropriate
Here are just a few tips to make sure you are wedding-ready with your jumpsuit:
- Make sure the jumpsuit fits the dress code. This means a casual floral print jumpsuit might be fine for a rustic wedding, but you'll need a formal fabric and sophisticated style if you're wearing a jumpsuit to an evening or black-tie wedding. Always consider the time, venue, season, and general tone of the event when selecting your attire. When in doubt, pick something with clean, classic styling and accessorize! Which leads us to:
- Accessorize accordingly! Most jumpsuits we've seen are tailored and monochromatic, which can mean they read as a little more casual than their gown or suit counterparts. Make sure you bring out some eye-catching accessories or go with some more dramatic makeup or styling to accent your look. I think jumpsuits look great with high heels and bold earrings!
- Don't wear white. Even though your jumpsuit probably won't be mistaken for a wedding gown, the age-old rule of no-white still applies, even if you are wearing a jumpsuit, not a dress. (But if you are the one getting married and looking for a white jumpsuit to wear, then check out this post on wedding jumpsuits for brides!)
- Make sure the suit fits your proportions. There are lots of styles for every shape, long torso, petite, plus, tall, which is good since your jumpsuit has to fit each aspect from head to toe. Make sure you can walk, dance, sit in the suit without pulling or fit issues! Make sure you're also comfortable with the style - they sometimes take some getting used to! Don't try one for the first time for an important event!
- Jumpsuits are good but careful with rompers for formal events. I'm sure there are some rompers that wouldn't look out of place at a casual outdoor wedding, and even some that are more dressed-up that might suit a semi-formal event, but I just haven't seen any yet that I can wholeheartedly recommend. For the most part, rompers are usually too short and too informal, and just a fashion risk I personally wouldn't be ready to take at a wedding unless I knew it would be fully appropriate. I say keep rocking the cute rompers for honeymoons vacations and nights out, and go with a jumpsuit that is below the knee (like the mid-length culotte style below) or longer for a wedding. I'll let you know if I do find a dressy romper that looks like it's a good look for a wedding guest!
- Still not quite ready to wear a jumpsuit for a wedding? Try one for the rehearsal dinner! It's usually a more relaxed event and, therefore, a great time to try out this look!
