A suit when everyone else is in a pretty dress is subversive without being inappropriately informal
OK, stop looking at the photo now, because I don’t want it to put you off the concept of a summer suit. It’s not the suit that’s not working here, I promise you that. I actually love this suit, even though I don’t love it on me. Whenever I see shorts suits on other people – even real people, not Instagram people – they look brilliant. A shorts suit would probably look really nice on you.
You don’t need to take it from me, take it from Kate Moss, instead. Kate has form in wearing suits to weddings. In 2006, she wore a pale grey silk shorts suit to the wedding of stylist Katy England; last year, she wore a polka-dot skirt suit to the wedding of Princess Eugenie. A suit when everyone else is in a pretty dress is subversive without being inappropriately informal. It’s not like you haven’t made an effort, it’s just that you don’t look like everyone else.
