If you are only 25 I really think you are at least 20 years too young to wear a suit to a wedding.

Any suit that costs just £100 is also going to be very badly made; the shop will compromise on either fabric or fitting, probably both. It is much harder to tailor a suit than a dress.

I think you need a tailored dress, with perhaps a cardigan on top for warmth. It has the same formality as a suit, but is more versatile and will ensure you do not resemble lamb dressed as mutton. You can buy millions of marvellous dresses for under £100.

Read wrong, doh. Your budget is £80, not £100. Even more reason to choose a dress.

Hobbs

blue tunic dress

shift dress

polka dots

tulip dress

plus a summery jacket, possibly

This suit would work out about £74 but you might wellwant something fresher and younger.
