Ive never been to a wedding with a specific dress code or anything - I’ve always just worn jeans and a t shirt, then again I was just a teenager and they were Mexican parties where jeans and boots are basically formal wear anyway. All this to say that this is very informative!!

Can you elaborate a bit more on the formality of different materials? I was surprised to see that a linen dress would fall under the cocktail category.
@PlanWithLaur

definitely! one way to think about it is going from heavy to light. heavyier, richer, or even textured fabrics (e.g. silk) to light and breathable like linen. cocktail is much less formal, so linen is more appropriate here and should never be worn to black tie, for example

@@lavengaleI would say it’s actually more about the weave than the fabric type. The linen dress shown in the picture is a muslin weave, but silk and polyester can be woven into muslim weave. “Silk” is most commonly recognized when it’s woven into a satin weave but satin polyester will look exactly like silk. The benefit of real silk is it’s soft & breathable so you won’t be hot and sweaty, but it is expensive and you’ll only be wearing it once. Splurge on the silk for your every day work clothes 😉 Don’t worry about knowing your fabrics well, as long as you don’t wear white, jeans or something very revealing you’ll be fine 😊

Maybe I’m the outlier, but I’ve never had friends who would have a strict dress code for their wedding and know the difference. Don’t think I’d ever want to either.

Small question: is it disrespectful for a female guest to wear a suit/tux to a wedding? It honestly seems so much easier and cheaper then getting a dress and stressing if your outshining the bride

I don't think so, but if the couple (or there close family) is conservative it might spark some issues

Is it appropriate to wear something a little more “formal” to a semi-formal event? I’m going to an indoor/outdoor wedding but it’s in the evening and the venue is giving me more formal vibes. I’m not very close to the couple and don’t want to show up underdressed, but also not overdressed. I’ve only ever been to formal and casual weddings and I am so confused 😩

Great question - one rule of thumb I follow is you can always dress "up" an attire category, but you can't dress down. It would be inappropriate to wear black tie to a cocktail reception, but wearing formal to a semi-formal event? People will just tell you how great you look!

I’m going to a destination wedding in Jamaica at the end of this month😬 the dress code on the website just said formal, I’m planning on wearing an ankle length pink silk (I think) dress with black lace floral designs but after watching this I’m worried I need a new dress🥲
