Summer wedding: Be sure to pay attention to the weather
In most cases in summer, a sudden rain shower is not a big problem for guests, but the heat is. Chubby ladies in particular should consider the summer heat when choosing their outfit for the event.
Sweating is not a popular topic, but it can spoil both the look and the mood. The following tips should help you choose a festive outfit as a wedding guest.
- Be sure to pay attention to the fabric of the dress. Will it show sweat stains during the event? Be sure to avoid silk as a fabric because it shows every drop of sweat and repels water. And polyester-based fabrics are a sweaty girl's worst nightmare. Instead, choose fabrics made from natural fibers. The following applies: always cotton instead of polyester and linen instead of viscose.
- Wear darker tones because light colors will show any sweat stains. Light blue as well as any shade of gray will cheat you. Instead, opt for colors like dark blue that won't give away sweat easily. But: if your light-colored dress is decorated with patterns and motifs, this will probably hide the sweat stains.
Why dresses aren't always the best choice for chubby wedding guests
Women with thick thighs know how uncomfortable the chafing on their thighs is when wearing a dress in summer. While there are plenty of products out there to prevent thigh chafing, the easiest way to prevent it is to wear something that prevents them from rubbing together in the first place. Both an elegant trouser suit and a chic jumpsuit can save the day.
Maybe you already have an idea of how you want to look as a wedding guest - a dreamy floral dress for the garden, an elegant little black dress or a breezy maxi dress for a beach wedding. From waist-cinching sleeved wrap dresses to tiered midi dresses and body-hugging silhouettes, there are plenty of flattering styles for plus-sized curves. Summer trends like one-shoulder necklines, puff sleeves and ruffles can also be found in dresses for special occasions.
