I constantly come across the "Can someone wear a jumpsuit to a wedding?" question on social media.
Of course you can wear a jumpsuit as a wedding guest, albeit, the design matters. Remember weddings are all about looking classy, without trying to steal the shine from the bride. Every lady needs at least one jumpsuit in her closet. You can grab it as your foundation then dress it up or dress it down, depending on the occasion or look you're going for. As a wedding guest though, you need to go for slightly intricate sophisticated designs so as not to look too basic. For instance, you could grab a jumpsuit that's in line with current trends such as ruffles or exaggerated sleeves or one that comes with a cape or overskirt. Be sure to remain modest though; steer clear of plunging necklines or sheer fabrics and such. African weddings are all about African print fashion and you could also go for one made from Kitenge fabric. Girl, you definitely have options.
