If one thing’s for certain, dressing for winter weddings is a stressful task. You not only have to factor in the chilly temperatures and frigid wind chill, you also need to take the outfit fabric, length and colour into consideration, which can make getting dressed feel almost impossible.

If you’re scheduled to attend a friend’s big day in the coming weeks and you’re stressed about what to wear, you’re in luck as we’ve rounded up the seven must-have items for a winter wedding.  From elegant faux fur stoles to catwalk-worthy jumpsuits and chic cocktail dresses, these items will easily win you the vote as the best-dressed guest.

1. Faux Fur Stoles

Be the best-dressed guest in a classy faux fur stole. These cozy cover-ups will keep you warm while still looking cool. Choose from a range of colours and styles to match your outfit or the colours of the wedding. You can drape one over your shoulders, loop it around your neck, or wear one over your jacket collar. The options are endless! The best part? A fur stole is in style and can be worn throughout winter to the office or out for cocktails. Now that’s a winning situation.

2. Ear Crawlers
Every wedding guest needs a little wedding bling and winter is the perfect time to treat yourself to some glamorous jewellery. We can’t get enough of these Nadri ear crawlers, as they’ll line your lobes with sparkling cubic zirconias in an ultra-modern, on-trend look that can be worn year-round.

3. Jumpsuit

Not feeling a dress? No problem, look effortlessly chic at your upcoming winter wedding in a sleek black jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are great because they can easily be dressed up or down. Dress it up with bold accessories and an up-do and then with a fitted blazer for the office.

4. Chic Cocktail Dress

If you’re looking for more of an edgy winter wedding look, we recommend rocking a statement cocktail dress like this fishnet and lace number. Black heels and a matching clutch help pull this feminine winter wedding look together.

5. Long Sleeves

Having trouble deciding what to wear to a more casual winter wedding? A long sleeved dress is a trendy and fun option to stand out from the crowd. Pair with velvet platforms for a playful touch.

6. Midi Dress
While this dress isn’t floor length; it’s still appropriate for a winter wedding. We’re loving this elegant, off-the-shoulder neckline in rich jewel tones. Pair with a faux fur stole and a pair of velvet pumps for a winter-approved look.

7. The Black Gown

You can’t go wrong with a sophisticated black gown for a formal winter wedding. This stunning V-neck gown is flattering on all body types and the long front slit is simply gorgeous.
