Is this dress to casual for a wedding?

[OnToast81]

I’m going to a wedding, taking place in a nice hotel in January.
Buffet and DJ, should be done by 11pm.
What do we think? Will this do or is it too casual?

Firg to add, here we go.

Can't really see it it's half covered by a scarf thing but it looks OK. Is there a dress code?

i think it should be ok with the right accessories

Totally fine

Fab, I dont actually know the couple. I’m a plus one and my husband is the best man. The dress code is Elegant.

I have this in my wardrobe, better or to much? It’s Navy and silver.

They have actually told people they expect them to look "elegant"? What pretentious crap. Generally smart and elegant the norm for any wedding. You don't have to patronise your guests by telling them that.

Elegant then I'd say the second

The second one given the dress code.

Elegant the second, but I'd worry about being cold in January ....

Wear whichever you're most comfortable in and don't worry about the dress code, especially if you're a plus 1.

I like the first one. Looks comfortable and nice. Second one is more evening wear than wedding but if you fit into that, then I'm sure you'll look lovely! (In case that doesn't sound right, I mean it's that kind of slinky dress you need a good figure for so if you already have it in your wardrobe, I imagine you will look good. )

Agree second, with a shawl or wrap.

Haha...yeah, I don't do elegant I don't think 🤔 😁

oh if it's elegant and your husband is best man then the second dress.
How do you not know someone that your husband knows well enough to be best man for though??

I prefer the first, probably because it's more "me".
But the second is more "Elegant" .

This one is better considering the dress code imo

He commutes for work, it’s a work colleague/good friend but I don’t know anybody he works with.

To me the first dress looks more like a summer dress, I would go with the second OP.

How old are you? I think the first one looks a bit frumpy and dated OP, sorry. Looks like office wear.

the second one is more 'elegant' and I think is a much nicer dress.

I prefer the second one but you could certainly wear either.

I think either would be fine except I’m not sure about black for weddings. Also, as PP have said, wedding venues may be cold in January but, then again, if it’s crowded with a roaring log fire and you’re dancing it may get very warm so maybe go for some kind of layering.
However, if you do decide to buy something new why not wait for the January sales when there will be lots of reductions of suitable things - I have found Monsoon particularly good for this.

The first one I think you attached the wrong photo, it’s got an old scarf covering most of it, so you can’t see the shape or arms etc,

the second one seems quite glitzy, I’d put the right pic of the first ine up.

The first is a beach dress. The second looks like fancy dress costume. So I wouldn’t wear either to a winter wedding.

For that I would probably choose a fairly severe trouser suit or long sleeved dress in a weighty, seasonally appropriate fabric - cord, velvet, tweed, heavy silk, wool twill. With neither sparkle nor ruffles.

The second. The first one looks dreary.

The second but you'll need a jacket. I feel cold just looking at it on a day like today.
