How to wear a trouser suit to a wedding

A two-piece suit is an investment purchase, so there are important things to consider in terms of colour, fit and tailoring to find your perfect match. Think carefully about fabric if you are planning to wear yours year-round – look to wool blends and fully-lined styles for added warmth, or linen to keep things cool. Read on for our selection of ladies’ trouser suits for weddings and find a design that’s the right fit for the celebratory season.

The tie-waist tailored jacket in 2025’s hottest colour, buttermilk yellow, is the perfect balance between statement dressing and softness. When it comes to footwear, consider what you’ll be walking on (stilettos and grass do not mix), and if in doubt go for a block heel.

An immaculately cut blazer works beautifully for more formal dress codes, such as a black-tie wedding. Team it with slim-fit or pleated suit trousers, killer stilettos and statement jewellery. Plus, beyond the big day, you can dress down the blazer by wearing it with jeans for a classic off-duty look. 

Throw a curveball by wearing a two-piece that comes with matching shorts instead of trousers or, alternatively, choose a suit in a vibrant colour. An urban setting calls for a more contemporary look, so don’t shy away from dressy flats – high-waisted wide-leg trousers look just as great with these as they do with heels.

The humble waistcoat is a hot 2025 trend that isn’t going away. Not only does it offer a cool twist on the classic two-piece, it also more than fits the bill for a summer wedding or any semi-formal RSVP. Wear with heeled strappy sandals, or chic flats if you prefer. 

If the wedding is abroad or the UK sun is doing its thing, think about less-structured pieces and breathable fabrics. Stylish and great for keeping air circulating, linen palazzo pants tick all the right boxes. Open-toe sandals or espadrilles are both perfect pairings here.
