Will I look like the 'other bride' if I wear this to a wedding?

[TheDevilWearsPantsuits]

I've got a bespoke suit that looks exactly like this i.pinimg.com/474x/11/b5/56/11b556c01631d69ac6ed1e14e43add1b--boy-meets-girl-androgynous-fashion.jpg in this exact colour i.pinimg.com/474x/3c/fd/aa/3cfdaa38bc0cdf8e1eaf895d7c15714f--ralph-lauren-collection.jpg. Was all set to wear it to a wedding (in Australia if it makes a difference) late next March, but am now having second thoughts because a friend of mine told me that I'd end up looking like the one marrying the bride!

Should I start panicking now?

Mumsnet is hyper-conservative when it comes to weddings

in other words, people disagree with me and I can't accept the concept
MN is not ONE entity, it's made of posters of different gender, background, age, countries even. Disagree as much as you like, it gives you a good feel of what people think. There are very few rules for a wedding guest, it's astonishing how it's still too much for SOME. It's not about you that day.

pictish
shocking, different rules for male and female guests at wedding

Don't pretend to be so shocked and confused, you sound silly

Two of my guests wore gorgeous white trouser suits with bright accessories to my wedding, I didn't even realise until I saw the pictures afterwards. As far as I know no-one confused us, as I was in a wedding dress Bit surprised by the replies here!

You knew the answer before you asked. You will look like a attention seeker

But I disagree with you on this, FairytaleofButlins. So you’re quite right, MN is not one single entity. This suit is a beautiful item of clothing and in no way unsuitable for a wedding IMHO. As far as I’m concerned, and many others, wedding guests should wear what they like. I’d see it as a tribute to my wedding that someone wants to wear their favourite or best clothes, and a sign that they knew they could relax in my company too.

I'm in two minds. I think it'll be ok if you accessorise it correctly. A bright coloured top and shoes maybe.

The suit in grey just screams that you’re party of the grooms party - it’s a no for me

Since when has a grey suit been likely to upstage the bride ?

I agree with your friend

Parallel universe time.
It's a grey trouser suit. Assume you are not going for a waistcoat matching the page boys or a button hole, I can't see why it would be an issue.
I can't see why anyone would think you were the bride?

So to clarify...it's a GREY jacket with GREY trousers? No waistcoat?

Absolutely fine!!

I can't even fathom why people have an issue with this 🙄

It’s a double breasted women’s trouser suit and it’s not styled as a wedding outfit. I’m a bit puzzled by some of the replies on here

This. I opened the thread and read some responses before I opened the link, assuming it was a white wedding dress that the OP was reusing. I have never, ever seen a bride (or groom, or usher) dressed in what the OP has linked to. I wouldn't in a million years think that anyone wearing that was attempting to 'muscle in' on the wedding party.

It's fabulous but not for someone else's wedding. For your own, maybe. It's an attention hogger and that is always tasteless.

I don’t sound silly. I have picked up on your haughty response to the OP being based in sexism. Which it is. The OP will know whether or not her circles are similarly curtailed in their thinking so thanks for clarifying.

I think the suit, while not being to my personal taste, is fine.

I cant see the grey one

A trouser suit in grey on a woman screams you are part of the wedding party? Huh?

The suit is the style of the first and the colour of the second

How is it an attention hogger? Because it’s clearly a beautiful outfit? Surely most people going to weddings want to wear nice clothes and look their best?

I'm in Australia too....you'll be pretty warm.

It’s gorgeous. I’d ask what colour the grooms party would be wearing though just in case it’s very similar to the grey

I was prepared to say yes, wear what you like and then clicked on the link.

NO. It is very clearly a wedding outfit, you cant wear that... entirely inappropriate.

Which link have you clicked on, Billie? The second link is only to illustrate the colour of the suit, not the style.

Double because grey or not, it's very pale and it's a distinctive suit...it looks bridal in a masculine way. The sort of thing a woman might wear if SHE was getting married and didn't want a big white dress. Most of the other guests will be in summer dresses....it's early Autumn in Oz in March....still hot...any woman in trousers will be in something linen and loose.

Go get yourself a flowery dress from Coast, a pashmina and a bright fascinator so everyone can relax that you’ve conformed.

( or just wear what you want)

Grey suit to attend a wedding? Don't see any problem at all, it's not white or cream 🤔 take a pic in the actual suit and send it to the bride and ask if it's alright if you are that worried
