What sort of coat/ jacket can I wear to a wedding that isn't frumpy?

[1pmdietcoke]

All the options in JL today looked like they were straight out of the 00s- cropped bolero jackets etc. I don't really like the double breasted blazers either.

I know I'm fussy!

What about a suede biker jacket? Maybe a bit too casual? Just thinking of something you could wear again!

Couldn’t disagree more A pashmina never goes out of style and to wear a jacket over this dress, the OP will look more like she’s going to a job interview than a wedding!!

Nonsense! Don’t you get out much?!

White denim jacket

Aren't you lovely.

Honestly, the sales are on and so many lovely things you could wear.

Like this dress.

Or this jacket with the dress you have, which I think is bit style free, sorry!

That’s more MOTB than guest

Yes, sorry. that wasn't very nice at all - bad morning. I've asked for it to be removed.

I love bright colours, so I'm wearing a bright pink leather jacket over a Cobalt blue Monsoon dress to my nephew's wedding 💜💙💜

Probably for the best…

God no, white denim is awful.
Possibly worse than a pashmina but it's a close call.

That's a gracious apology, I was wondering if you hadn't had your coffee yet...

A pink trench - in the sale

Pashmina is practical but dated.
Brightly coloured blazer is current but the wrong proportions for that dress.
Denim or leather jacket are not wedding-appropriate
Tailored bolero jacket is a bit mother of the bride

I do think that a cropped Chanel-style tweed jacket - with or without buttons - is the only reasonable compromise between current and practical.

What sort of budget?

How about a Shibumi jacket?

They have showroom in Gloucestershire where you can go and try on all shapes and colours.

Frumpy is a misogynistic bullshit word.

A pashmina is a classic and versatile item.

I think all jackets tend to look frumpy with nice dresses! Except a denim jacket in a pretty day dress but that wouldn't be right for a wedding . So annoying!
