While spring/summer is often referred to as ‘wedding season’, timeless nuptials still take place in the colder months. Bridal attire pivots to include seasonal elements such as cropped jackets and even capes, but for winter wedding guests, the question of what to wear can feel even trickier than usual – the old faithful ‘midi dress and heels’ combo somehow doesn’t feel quite enough when it’s below 10 degrees outside. Having said that, there are still plenty of options at your disposal, and here we’ve rounded up the best winter wedding guest outfits, courtesy of the style set, along with shopping options to recreate the looks yourself.
