What to Wear to a Wedding

Wedding Guest Style for Her

• Informal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire OK for morning weddings)
• Informal Evening: Cocktail dress
• Semi-Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit
• Semi-formal Evening: Cocktail dress
• Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit. Hats and gloves optional.
• Formal Evening or Black-Tie: Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories, wrap)
• Ultra-formal or White Tie: Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.)

Do's and Don'ts for Her

• Don't wear white because it competes with the bride. There are plenty of other colors available.
• Don't wear black or sequins during the daytime.
• Don't worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can't possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.
• Do wear something feminine and appropriate, out of respect for your hosts. Clubwear, overtly sexy clothing (strapless, see-through, etc) doesn't belong at a wedding. If you have to ask if it's appropriate, it probably isn't.
• Don't wear opera-length gloves (to top of arm) with anything but sleeveless or strapless gowns.
• Do take off gloves to eat or drink.
• Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality of the event. A pastel suit or soft floral dress for daytime or a little black dress for evening (after 6 p.m.) will take you almost anywhere.

Wedding Style for Him

• Informal Daytime: Dress shirt and pants, preferably a sports jacket.
• Informal Evening: Suit
• Semi-Formal Daytime: Suit
• Semi-Formal Evening: Dark suit
• Formal Daytime: Dark suit and tie
• Formal Evening: Tuxedo (if invitation states "black tie") or dark suits if women wear short dresses.
• Ultra-formal Evening or White Tie: White tie, vest and shirt.

Do's and Don'ts for Him

• Don't try to get cute with a tuxedo. A black tux with white shirt and black bow tie is the best way to go. If "Creative Black Tie" or "Texas Formal" or some sort of other vague formal description is used, then going with a tux and black shirt, no tie, might be acceptable. Also, trendier cities like Los Angeles and New York might be more accepting of breaking with tradition.
• Do wear a dark suit, with a tie if the wedding is after 6 PM, and doesn't say "Black Tie."
• Don't wear a tuxedo during the day time, regardless of the formality of the event.
• Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality of the event. A dark suit and conservative tie will take you just about anywhere.

We Love Leather (for Fall 2011)

So of course you already have things like leather shoes and handbags. And you may even have a basic black leather jacket. But do you have a leather dress? Or leather pants? Or a leather jacket in a different color?
A new leather jacket is a great investment piece because a) you'll wear it over and over during the season and b) it will last for years. It's also one of the first essential pieces you'll reach for when nighttime temps start to dip in the next few weeks.
My faves for the season include this great little cream leather jacket from Gap (affordable!) on the low end and Haute Hippie's leather and chains jacket on the high end (I wish!)

Dress Like Your Daughter (and Get Away with It)

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, but a new study from Temple University states that moms mimic their daughters' style especially when the moms thought of themselves as young at heart (guilty!)
On the flip side, the study -- which is going to be published in the Journal of Consumer Behavior -- stated that teenage daughters do NOT want to emulate mom even if they see their moms as stylish (sorry, researchers, but I coulda told you that.)
We go through this in my house, with two shopping-crazy girls. The interesting thing is that although the 17-year-old has made it crystal clear that she like, totally, has her own style, she sure seems to borrow a lot of stuff from me. The study goes on to call to say that moms copy their daughters style party because they are too busy to figure out for themselves what's in style (uh, maybe it's because we are busy making money to pay for our daughters' shopping sprees!)
If, like me, you have kids going back to school (or even if you don't) why pass up this opportunity to load up on some very fun back-to-school trends that work perfectly well for grown-ups. Are you copying your daughter? Well, maybe a little. But she should take it as a compliment.
