Is this smart enough to wear to a wedding?

[Closetlibrarian]

If I dress it up with snazzy heals and accessories? jumpsuit

Wedding is in early July. 5pm-2am in the countryside. Couple are young and gorgeous and bride has great style and I always feel frumpy whenever I'm within 20 feet of her, so I want to get a new outfit for the day, but want to avoid conventional Coast or Monsoon wedding guest type thing.

Failing this (or other jumpsuits) any other suggestions for a stylish but not too trendy outfit? I'm 41, 5ft7, a size 10/12, my style tends to be quite neutral, neat (and comfortable!) basics/ classics like skinny trousers and fine merino sweaters (for work). I rarely get dressed up, so I'm struggling to know where to start. Help!

Honestly OP its lovely but a little too casual for a wedding in my opinion..sorry! I love jumpsuits by the way and think you can absolutely wear one to a wedding, just one that's a bit more tailored iyswim. How about something like this?

I think a jumpsuit is fine... But the uniqlo one is in a rather drab colour for a wedding. Something similar in a more festive colour would be nice. The phase 8 one is gorgeous.

Look at Reiss, Karen Millen. Your size/height would suit their clothes perfectly.

I like it and would wear it to a wedding. I wore a similar black jumpsuit to a wedding a while back, with black heeled ankle boots (it was winter), a faux fur jacket, and a big Tatty Devine necklace - I actually had quite a few people compliment my outfit and felt really good in a sea of Coast frocks.

Black is considered v bad form for a wedding for starters, but I also agree with pps that it looks a bit drab and shapeless. If you want a jumpsuit, then maybe something more shaped? Even if it had come in a suitable colour, It doesn't look as though it would be very flattering, given that even the model doesn't look good in it.

If it's white then no. Absolutely no way should you wear it to a wedding.

I think you could wear the navy with big earrings and bright heels and look fab.

Often the things that look simple online/on the hanger often look the best on.

It's ok you'd get away with it (not if black and definitely not in white!) but it is very borderline.

I like it! You could really jazz it up with big bold accessories. The phase 8 one is horrid... and wearing black to a wedding? Nope.

If you're 5ft 7, that'll finish at a neither cropped nor full length point. Uniqlo are not particularly long in leg IMO and I'm only 5ft 4.

Hmm - totally divided opinions! I was planning either black or navy (not white!). Is black really 'not done' for weddings?

I did try it on in store and thought it was very flattering but wondered about the length (it's kind of ankle length on me) and that perhaps it wasn't tailored enough.

Phase Eight one I don't like at all, sorry! Looks very frumpy to me! Asos one is lovely but far more than I want to spend on this outfit. Some gorgeous ones in Reiss, but waaaaay over budget (I want to spend under £100)

Oh dear... Back to the drawing board

What about this one - with heels and a nice fitted/short jacket

I bought it recently and think it's very flattering

Black is considered really bad manners for weddings (funeral wear). As is white for obvious reasons and also cream if the bride is in cream, although a darker cream would be ok if the overall look isn't bridal. Navy is fine.

Really? Black is 'bad manners' for weddings? I'm surprised as every wedding I've ever been to (including my own, 13 years ago) there's been at least one woman in a black dress or black outfit and I've never thought anything of it (other than, usually, how stylish and 'put together' they look). I understand the 'white' thing, but 'no black' seems so random to me.

Black is the colour of mourning. Absolutely not appropriate for a wedding. Younger guests may not know the ettiquette, but older guests might raise an eyebrow.

The last wedding I attended was about 10 years ago, but even then many people were in black of some sort (chic London wedding)- usually with a wrap or shoes or bag in a different colour, so not just black, but a heck of a lot were in black.

I think it's fine, I would still stick to no white but only cos everyone bashes on about it on Mumsnet, in rl, I haven't been to a wedding where what the guests were wearing was the subject of disapproval- ever!

Zara have some lovely jumpsuits in store.
I really liked this one, not sure if it will be to everyone's taste but it was beautiful irl

I think jumpsuits are definitely something you need to try on to see what they'll be like on you. I can rarely find a jumpsuit to fit me, it's either cutting me in half or the trousers sit at a funny length.

Hope you manage to find something you really like. I also don't see an issue with black at a wedding, not these days anyway.

Ooh yes that is gorgeous Llamacorn. Alas I can't wear pale colours like that as they totally wash me out , but thanks for the Zara tip. I'll take a look

No don't wear black, especially all black, plus it's very boring.

Boden have a few. I've ones, I like the look of the Amanda...

Any opinions on this one?

The John Lewis one is gorgeous! Chrome / silver / nude heels, little clutch bag.... if I saw someone wearing that at a wedding I'd think they were really well "put together"!

I vote for the John Lewis one too.

That's what I'm aiming for Lorelai! I want to be put together, rather than looking either frumpy or like I'm trying too hard.

What would you wear over it (it's an evening wedding with reception in marque)? I've got a neat little cream/ neutral linen blazer. Would that work?
