Can I wear cream trousers to a wedding

DD says I can’t.

They’re wide legs, flowy material, matt but cream. Definitely look like trousers. With a top that is not cream or white.

I will not be mistaken for the bride.

I don’t do dresses/skirts/heels or colour. I’ve been a tomboy all my life and at the age of 50 have stopped conforming.

But am I committing some terrible faux pas? If I am I’ll have to look for black ones.

I don't see the issue
It's only on Mumsnet that people care what wedding guests wear. I've never met anyone in real life who is offended.

No one suggests men cant wear a suit in case they're mistaken for a groom
Absolutely!

The difference is that reasonable and fair rules are those followed by both sexes.

The ever-escalating policing of women’s wedding outfits places a burden on women alone. It’s called “sexism.”

Cream trousers would look great with a top that was predominantly navy, black, bottle green, burgundy, rust, or copper coloured and maybe a coordinating jacket if required.

This look would be fine for a wedding guest-

Yes similar to this, less bold a print.
I won’t be in the photos unless near the back.
I don’t know the bride at all.
