“I definitely think it’s appropriate to wear black to a wedding, especially if the outfit is a black tie. I also think it depends on the location/aesthetic of the wedding,” says Lauren Eggertsen of Who What Wear US. “For example, I attended a black tie wedding where the reception took place in a gorgeous ballroom, so a black dress seemed more appropriate. more appropriate. If I’m attending an outdoor wedding in the summer, black doesn’t seem appropriate.”
On the other hand, her colleague, Erin Fitzpatrick, would stay away from turning to the dark side. She said: “I definitely don’t think it’s a general rule anymore, but personally I prefer to skip the black dresses at weddings. “Since every wedding I’ve ever attended has been in the summer, I felt right to choose something fun and colorful., which suits my style better. Also, for some reason, I still associate black with funerals rather than weddings, so I tend to stay away from it.”
