Pewter silk trousers: classic ??

I had a crushed velvet skirt and top made for my daughters wedding, at the last minute I decided it was too much and bought some black velvet trousers, I think it looked good.

I’ve just done across some photographs from my daughter’s wedding. 10 years on, I still love my pewter silk trousers and Aramaic (darling) jacket.

I wore a purple trouser suit for my own second wedding, after looking like a sugar plum fairy for my first to please my mother. Also trouser suit to my two sons’ weddings.

I struggled to find a Mob outfit/frock I liked. I never wear flouncy floral frocks and spent months trying on endless dresses but ne er felt like me.
I bought pewter satin flowing trousers, a silk pale grey top and the most expensive jacket I ever had - armarni if you please. Topped it with a purple head piece and suffered in heels . I felt like me, and still love the clothes.

I love those floaty wide legged trousers, but I also like the look Judi Dench does of long top sometimes with a long jacket and narrower trousers. There are lot of examples on websites for Indian clothes. You sometimes get a long dress with trousers under it. I think Kate wore something like it on one of the RF tours.

I wore beautiful, floaty trousers to the weddings of both my daughters.

I didn't wear a hat either. My son-in-law's mother went along with me for the British wedding. In Italy, hats are thought of as hilarious and terribly British anyway so - no problem.

I went to a wedding a few years ago where they had an afternoon wedding and a black tie dinner dance type reception. I searched for a suitable dress but came across a lovely cream and black silk overblouse in Jaeger. I wore it with black palazzo trousers and a stole. It was very comfortable and much admired. Wore same outfit to two more weddings and a reunion. It was loose and floaty, not structured so very 'occasion'.

You look very elegant in your outfitsSpice and harrigran.

I agree very nice.

All three outfits pictured are extremely elegant. I love the colours, the drape and the fabrics. They’re stunning.

I wore a trouser suit for son's wedding, cream silk. Bride wore red and gold dress. Bride's mother wore a long dress so I thought my floaty trousers were acceptable.

My DSis wore a trouser suit to her daughter's wedding . DSis was on crutches and could not wear fancy shoes or heels - she looked fine.

My mother at 91 bought herself a pale grey trouser suit for my DS's wedding. She was very pleased with it and looked very nice. She had promised herself that she would fly over once more in her life if any of my boys got married and she did.

I wore a skirt, but it did rather accentuate my burgeoning paunch. I would wear trousers with a loose flowing top like in Spice101 's photo if DS3 ever tied the knot. Love the royal blue colour, too.

I wear trousers all of the time. I’ll definitely wear a nice trouser suit if my son gets married. I just don’t feel comfortable in a dress or skirt.

I wore capri pants with a fabulous long contemporary lace jacket for one of my daughters. Worn with smart heels and tonal hat it felt pretty stylish for a bride's mother.

Love your outfit Spice101

Thank you Blossoming

Thank you all for your replies. Also Spice101 & Riverwalk for the photo's both look lovely.

(I would love to see more if anyone else has worn trousers to a wedding)

Like you Spice101 I haven't worn a dress or skirt in decades. I dislike my legs!

LOL @ silverlining48

50 years ago my Mum wore trousers to my wedding and she looked absolutely gorgeous!

Riverwalk

I think it's fine - depending on the particular outfit of course.

Some 20 years ago I attended a big wedding at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mayfair, no less. Church and event don't come much posher (for want of a better description!)

Both MOG and MOB were in very elegant trouser outfits - long and floaty, rather than suit-style.

Something like this

Trousers for me for both sons weddings, both with ceremony and meal/evening in a hotel. The first was a winter wedding where I felt at ease in tailored black trousers, a bright red and black camisole with a matching long red over jacket with black piping. At the brides request I wore a hat, matching red and black. For the late summer wedding I wore light trousers overlaid with floaty chiffon, a matching beaded cami and floaty short jacket. Lots of compliments on both, although I’m pretty sure no other women wore trousers I felt very comfortable. I’m tall and often find dresses are too short for me to feel at ease unless I go for a maxi dress. In my view wear whatever you’re comfortable in, no rules.

For my son's wedding I wore navy lined chiffon trousers and camisole. I found a floaty colourful 'thing' to go on top - not a jacket, not a cardi, not a shrug - don't know what to call it, but it looked good and attracted compliments! I wore wedge shoes in the same navy as the trousers to help make my legs look longer.
Decades ago my mother had problems finding a trouser suit for my sister's wedding. Mum was self conscious about her swollen leg and wanted to hide it. There wasn't much choice in our rural area. She had to settle for a dark brown outfit. It was either that or a loud checked trouser suit she said made her look like a bookie's clerk! At least nowadays we have a huge range of choices on line.
