Please help! Jacket for my civil partnership

3 replies

I'm having a v simple civil partnership ceremony in a registry office with witnesses only next Friday.

I am going to be wearing this: https://www.johnlewis.com/phase-eight-elika-wide-leg-jumpsuit-red/p112420494?size=12#product

The weather should be sunny but... just in case... I want to take a jacket with me. What kind of thing do you think will work?

I have this already that I was thinking might work: what do you think? https://www.riverisland.com/p/cream-faux-leather-crop-trench-coat-903830

Budget for jacket would be no more than £75 I reckon.

I had a civil partnership in April, wore a jumpsuit and had similar problems getting a jacket that looked right.

In the end I found this, although only one size left now. I found shorter jackets work better with a jumpsuit.

The trench you have found looks like it has potential, but I found I needed to try a lot on to find something the right length to work.

No help at all but I love your jumpsuit!

I’d just wing it and go jacket-less and your jumpsuit is striking.

I was a witness at a civil ceremony and it was so quick, we were in and out in minutes. No time to get cold.
