Avoid: White! (The colour is generally, but not always, associated with the bride, so it's best to be safe and avoid any shade that comes close.) Denim, sweats, supersheer material, or cuts that are overly revealing or eye-catching. Also, this might go without saying for wedding guests, but try to avoid overly distressed clothing or accessories like flower crowns and tiaras that would attract too much attention your way.
Instead try: Researching the dress code. If the ceremony/reception you are attending does not have a dress code, it's best to opt for something semi-formal. Midi cocktail dresses are a great place to start and details can be dependent upon the season or the location of the party. Men most regularly wear suits and ties, but if you're unsure about specifics, reach out to the bride and groom to get a better idea.
What Not to Wear to Church
Avoid: Shorts, leggings, and casual jeans for a Sunday morning service. To be safe, you should also steer clear of backless or midriff-baring tops, along with anything see-through.
Instead try: Clean, presentable clothing that will allow you to participate in the service if you want to. Some religious churches do have dress codes (i.e. hats and fascinators are common), so you should do your research and pull up the church's website before attending.
