Winter weddings are tricky to dress for. You might get a little bit of snow if you're lucky, and the bride will no doubt look every inch the beautiful Snow Queen, but the usual wedding guest options — florals, floaty fabrics, spaghetti straps — are out of the question if you want to stay warm all day. If your fallback wedding outfits aren't working, you've got the opportunity to have a bit of fun. Think daytime sequins [1], interesting silhouettes, and some seriously sleek fabrics [2], finished off with heels in jewel colours [3] that pop with your thick black tights. If you'd wear it to a swanky party with your in-laws on Christmas Eve, you're onto a winner. See our top picks for a little shopping inspiration.
