Are you invited to a wedding this fall and wondering what to wear to look both stylish and in harmony with the new season? I have a few simple tips to share with you on this subject. In today’s article, I suggest we look at the question of how to successfully wear an outfit for a wedding in October (or practically, throughout the fall season). Below, I reveal the key colors and materials as well as lots of inspiring fashion ideas.
How to succeed in the outfit for a wedding in October? With these simple tips
October Wedding Attire: The Basics
Regardless of the season and weather, the crucial factor that determines the choice of a suitable outfit is first and foremost the dress code of the event. Is it a formal ceremony, semi-formal or rather a casual celebration?
Focus on the key points to consider
Dark and deep colors
Then you should also think about the appropriate colors for this time of year. Generally speaking, pastels and flashy colors lose their shine in autumn. Instead, you can opt for deep and dark shades of black, brown, red and green.
Opt for colors that resonate with nature this season
Elegant women’s evening dress
If you are invited to a formal ceremony, dark colors and stylish long models are definitely one of the best alternatives. Black is, of course, the perfect alternative for evening wear. But, dark brown could prove to be a worthy substitute for seasonal spirit.
Consider the type of ceremony
Materials for women’s formal dresses
In addition to colors, you can think about moving towards more seasonal materials. Silk, satin and lace are classic solutions to display a refined and romantic look. But, velvet, wool, crepe and suede are also very appropriate alternatives for this period.
Moreover, for the upcoming D-Day of one of my besties, I stopped in particular on a model of trapeze dress in jacquard. Since the ceremony will take place on October 26, I find this more lordly fabric very practical.
Floral prints in seasonal colors
Florals aren’t just for spring and summer. In fact, you can easily incorporate them into your fall visions. To pull off the look, just opt for a dress in seasonal colors. As the Glamour team suggests, “floral prints in autumnal tones like yellow, brown, orange or green” are a great alternative for this time of year.
Choose floral patterns, but in seasonal hues
Wedding blazer or jacket for female guest
Unlike the summer season, one of the biggest changes to our fall outfits is undoubtedly layering. On this point, Aimee Song, famous fashion influencer, explains that we can complete our outfit with “a lightweight trench coat or a structured blazer”, to stay warm without compromising your elegant style. Moreover, in a previous article, we already gave you some tips on the question: “Which jacket to wear with a long dress?”
Well-matched accessories
Have you fallen in love with a minimalist dress style and are looking for ideas to liven up your vision? In that case, nothing is cooler than playing with eye-catching accessories. As an example, take the look in the photo below. The red dress (an ideal color for fall) is delicately matched with a head accessory, a clutch and leaf-patterned earrings, all in the same palette of beiges with gold accents.
Wedding pantsuit: guest woman
Besides dresses, suits are a favorite choice for many fashionistas, especially in the fall. Normally, you can focus on earthy tones like sand, brown, gray or camel for a seasonal and elegant look. So, if you want something more original, a set with golden or shiny reflections like the set below is another very suitable solution.
You can also opt for a trendy suit
Fall wedding outfit in jumpsuit
Option number 3: opt for a spectacular jumpsuit! Let me tell you, between us, I love this variation, because I find jumpsuits ultra-stylish and very suitable for standing out. In October, opt for deep and warm shades like burgundy or mustard yellow.
Or why not, for a sensational color combination?!
