What to wear with this jacket (to wedding)
Permalink Closed

Newbie here, I have been lurking for a few weeks & finally posting.


Im going to a garden wedding Saturday & need ideas to piece my outfit together. 


So far, I bought this jacket at Target:



Any suggestions?

Pretty jacket!  What color is it?  If it is white or ivory (that's what it looks like on my screen), then I wouldn't wear it to a wedding.


BTW, welcome to the board

I would pair it with a bright colored bottom such as a skirt or capri pant.  I'm not sure where you are at but since it is outside im sure it will be warm so make sure you pair the jacket with something on top to where you will be comfortable taking the jacket off.  I think a cute cami.  I will look around for some more specific options.

Fashion Princess, ummm you're right. . . I really didnt think about the color, the jacket is a cream ivory.


I would eventually take it off during the day.  I live in So. Cal and I'm anticipating it getting hot later in the afternoon.

I agree with FashionPrincess. I know that it is more acceptable to wear white or ivory to weddings now but I wouldn't.


Does it come in any other colors, like a pale pastel?

Very cute jacket, but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding either. I was actually at a wedding a few weeks ago and noticed a few people wearing white, which I thought was very tacky.


Oh and sorry if that sounded harsh, it wasn't meant to be. And welcome!

that jacket is really adorable, but i agree with the others--you really cannot wear white/cream to a wedding, even over another color. 


but beyond weddings, i think that jacket will be versatile for you through the summer.  i think i'd wear it with different skirts and pants, even with khakis like in the pic.

I never knew about the white/cream rule to weddings if it was just a piece (it makes sense not to compete with the bride in wearing a white/cream dress or suit).  My own rule is no black, becuase black is for funerals, not weddings, but I'm sure I'm grossly in the minority on that one.  I should point out that I do not follow the customs or rules of attending weddings though.


If you do wear the jacket, I think it would look nice with a skirt, perhaps a pebble, or sandy color (something satiny, not muted).  I would do a beaded or embroidered top, maybe a floaty cami.
