An invitation to a wedding is both joy and great responsibility. The stores are full of stylish youth dresses, but how can a woman over 40 make the right choice? Read below, we will go over all the details.
Choosing clothes for a wedding guest 40+
A woman at 40 years old, like a blooming flower, is quite young and beautiful, but the attitude towards her appearance and chosen style is more demanding. Even impeccably slender beauties should always remember about the appropriateness of attire.
What to wear if you are invited to a wedding by a friend? To be elegant and fashionable, but not give the impression of being “youthful”?
At this age, a woman knows exactly what she needs and intuitively chooses a style that will highlight the beauty of her body and hide all the “flaws”.
Important! You shouldn't chase trends. The main thing is that the thing suits you.
Yes, you are no longer a romantic young lady. So, make the most of your mature mind and worldly wisdom by dressing soberly and elegantly.
Models in the style of elegant minimalism are ideal for mature female beauty.
As jewelry you can use strings of pearls, gold and silver earrings and rings with expensive stones.
Shoes should be beautiful and comfortable, medium heels are better. Stylish models can also be chosen with flat soles.
Criteria for choosing an outfit
Getting ready for a wedding need to be taken into account:
- Subject and declared color solutions.
- Where will the event take place?
- Time of year and weather.
- Peculiarities of one's own appearance.
Winter options
An excellent choice in winter and autumn− closed dress made of dense material.
If you want special sophistication, a midi dress “fits your figure” or a fitted floor-length model will do.
Summer options
Age 40+ topics are wonderful, which does not imply any restrictions. And even a “mini” can organically fit into the image.
A woman of “Balzac’s” age is characterized by sophistication, but she is not alien to experiments. The main thing is to know when to stop.
To a restaurant - evening or cocktail dress
Your style is elegance and restraint (photo). Therefore, if the dress is for a cocktail, then it must be plain, fitted, without decoration, the skirt is straight or smoothly widening downwards.
And an evening dress allows for any tones - both in summer and winter.
Properly selected jewelry will add elegance to your look.
Intricate hairstyles are not encouraged. It's enough to style your hair beautifully.
On a note! If the information about the proposed wedding dress code is incomplete, choose a universal version of a knee-length cocktail dress or slightly lower. In this case, thick lace will be in place.
Off-site registration in the evening
A dress in the style of classics and minimalism made of fabric shimmering with metallic shades would look quite appropriate.
On a note! Textured fabric goes well with classic or neutral accessories.
Lady like or new look style
Pay attention to the modern interpretation of the new look. It is based on dense fabric of noble shaded tones, the skirt is flared, but not fluffy.
Dressy suit (with trousers or skirt)
A well-chosen suit looks festive and impressive. Wedding outfit options:
- jacket + tapered trousers;
- the tuxedo;
- pencil or flared skirt + fitted jacket;
- culottes + jacket (informal option);
- fitted jacket (jacket) + flared trousers.
Recommended colors:
- black or white;
- bright shades characterized by purity;
- light gentle tones.
It is best to wear a plain suit in a minimalist style that highlights your waist.
Fashionable wedding look: red suit + white top or blouse.
Sets with trousers and skirts (pencil, godet, etc.)
In the case of registering a marriage without a solemn ritual, in a family circle, you can wear an elegant, but not evening set: a bright bottom and a calm top. Here are some examples:
- trousers strongly flared from the knee;
- straight trousers made of satin or silk (floral or geometric patterns are welcome);
- pencil skirt made of lace or leather;
- metallic flared skirt;
- classic godet skirt.
Advice! Contrasting textures look irresistible: satin and lace, leather and silk. The color scheme should be more calm.
Rules of good manners
The main characters of the wedding celebration are the newlyweds, and all the attention of those present should be directed only to them. It is very indecent when those invited try to “seize the initiative.”
Therefore, it is better for women to dress so as not to outshine the bride.
Fabrics, colors and prints
A 40-year-old woman does not need to give up a variety of colors when choosing clothes. Here are some tips:
- powdery tones emphasize feminine romance;
- yellow and orange, if used wisely, will attract everyone's attention;
- shaded shades of red, brown, purple, green, blue tones are always a relevant and successful choice;
- classic black and white can be complemented with a catchy pattern;
- glossy fabric goes well with a jacket;
- Don't be afraid of patterned dresses with embroidery.
Important! Women 40+ are not recommended to use transparent material.
Famous designers advise fashionistas to pay attention to all kinds of prints and play them out in detail in suitable looks.
Exactly 40 years is the age when a woman, going to a wedding as a guest, can afford almost any outfit. The main thing is to have a sense of proportion in order to always remain stylish and attractive.
