Winter Wedding Guest Layers
• Faux fur wraps are the ultimate winter wedding accessory.
• Layering keeps you warm without compromising the dress code or detracting from the dress.
• A signature coat adds both sophistication and practicality.
From winter weddings to evening events, staying warm while remaining stylish can be a challenge—especially when trying to adhere to a formal dress code. Traditional layering can overwhelm your outfit, and a casual windbreaker simply won’t do. What you need is a chic accessory that adds warmth without compromising your look—enter faux fur.
Fur is a timeless choice for a wintry event, the perfect combination of comfort and sophisticated glamour. Wearing fur goes hand in hand with feelings of luxury and opulence and can be easily incorporated as a coat or bolero. Pair your coat with a full length gown for a winter black tie gala or a sleek formal dress for a winery wedding.
What to Wear Over a Dress to a Winter Wedding?
A bolero or coat is the best accessory to pair with your wedding guest dress. Depending on the location of the winter wedding you can either opt for a lightweight wrap or bolero for coverage around your arms or a heavy duty fur coat can be the best option for brisk winery weddings.
Faux Fur
Echoing the shifts of societal attitudes, faux fur has become a favourable choice for many. Faux fur provides all the same benefits as its real counterpart, sans animal involvement. Being made from synthetic fibres grants faux fur with the advantage of being extremely durable. Thanks to its versatile nature, faux furs have limitless potential when it comes to colour and texture, ensuring there's a style to fit everyone's individual tastes and preferences. A fur wrap offers an opulent and comforting touch to a winter wedding outfit.
A Classic Bolero
A sateen bolero is the ultimate investment, for a wedding guest who wants to remain warm whilst offering modest coverage over the arms and shoulder areas. A cropped bolero jacket provides the perfect amount of coverage without overwhelming your outfit, making it the ideal layering piece with a cocktail dress. Whilst adding practicality a bolero adds a subtle pop of colour that complements or contrasts the colours in your dress. Boleros are the go-to choice for fashion forward wedding guests.
A Signature Coat
Fur can be seamlessly incorporated into your winter wardrobe, no matter your personal style. For a trendy and effortlessly cool look, try pairing a fur coat with a long sleeve wedding guest gown and swap your slippers for heels to complete your winter wedding ensemble. Attending a more formal event? Opt for a black fur coat over your gown, paired with statement silver earrings for a touch of glamour that’s both chic and cosy.
