Suit for a winter wedding?

9 replies

I’m trying to find a suit - blazer and trousers - to wear to a winter wedding but not having much luck. Ideally velvet and not black. I’ve found a few but the jackets are unstructured and I’d prefer a structured blazer. I’m sure they were everywhere last year! I’m size 10-12, hourglass shape. Has anyone seen anything?

Zara have one velvet suit as does Marks & Spencers, sold as separates but midnight blue ankle grazer trousers and blazer. Some on Etsy too.

I have a great one from Boden 4 or 5 years back. The skirt is full and has wonderful pockets and the jacket is structured, the fabric is lovely the print is not of their OTT style. I'm literally willing everyone around me to marry, or marry again so that I can wear it again. I agree that festive, celebration style suits aren't very common. Good luck in your hunt!

I’ve just seen this suggested in a weekend magazine but it’s £620 for the set.

I just saw one at Hobbs.

Me & Em did some bright-coloured summer trouser suits, and I'd expect them to have a winter equivalent, arriving during Nov/Dec.

Sorry I can't link right now Massimo Dutti have some matching trousers and blazers in either black or green velvet. The blazer might be a bit too unstructured for you but it does seem to have a waist.

Amazing thank you everybody! Some great options here.
Any idea what to wear underneath?

I think I would go for a black satin blouse.
