Wedding Trousers/Pants

I went to a wedding where the mother of the bride wore a trouser suit. I didn’t think it was a good look.

Whatever suits you and you feel good in will be perfect. I've done both. Never been in the principals party other than as bridesmaid/bride when outfit was traditional but would have no qualms were I prospective MoG.

Lots of people wear trousers to weddings these days, I think it’s absolutely fine.

As MOG I wore trousers to both of my sons weddings. I have not worn a dress for decades and I am not able to wear anything like fashion shoes so a dress would have been both totally out of character for me and would have looked terrible.

Photo is of one, not sure I can find the other.

Same here Welshy. My ex-DIL's mother wore a cream (same colour as the bride's dress) linen trouser suit. It was commentated on quite a bit!! She did change after the meal and make a comment about my colourful "fancy" hat and dress as she wore a black fascinator with matching accessories down to a black necklace but everyone to their own, as they say!! I thought she looked quite smart but not for a summer wedding.

I think it's fine - depending on the particular outfit of course.

Some 20 years ago I attended a big wedding at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mayfair, no less. Church and event don't come much posher (for want of a better description!)

Both MOG and MOB were in very elegant trouser outfits - long and floaty, rather than suit-style.

We.ve photographed many weddings where the bride wore a trouser outfit ,floaty trousers or even jumpsuits .There are beautiful trouser styles available for weddings

Love your outfit Spice101

My friend wore a trouser suit for her son's wedding. She looked fabulous. Mind you she always does.

Perfectly acceptable, it’s what you’re comfortable in, there are some gorgeous ones available, we’re in the 21st century, no longer obliged to wear a frock.

At my DS1s wedding MOB wore a floaty pants suit from Box1 it did look exceptional

Cant encourage wearing just pants to a wedding, not a good look. ] best to wear something on top.
Trousers or dress, both look nice, Sorry, couldn't resist.

The most important thing is to wear whatever you look and feel good in, it’s a long day, and it’s important you’re comfortable. I hate wearing dresses (and skirts even more), the last time I wore a dress was to my daughter’s wedding, and although other people said they liked it I didn’t, and I regretted it all day. When my niece got married I wore a jumpsuit, which was lovely and I felt really good in.

I’ve not actually seen any mothers of bride/ groom in trouser suits, but then I have only attended two of my adult children’s weddings both times I wore dress & jacket

I wore a dress and jacket for my son’s wedding and it felt all the more special because I always wear trousers, never skirts.

My friend wore a flowing trouser suit for her DD's wedding and it looked lovely.

I wore trousers at my son’s wedding. Navy blue with a blue and white floral jacket and a big-brimmed white hat. I am tall and quite slim, and I think the outfit suited me and was quite smart. I was the only woman in trousers, though - not that that bothered me. This was fourteen years ago.

Trouser suit would be fine !! Why on earth not?

wearing trousers is fine
Spice, you looked lovely such a lovely colourtoo

Wearing something comfortable (that you feel special in) is best, I'm sure. My first MILs pained expression in the wedding photos - was due to 'killer' shoes apparently.

There's not much difference between a dress with leggings - and a long top with trousers anyway. Still, I think a dress is usually far more flattering for the overweight. I don't like the 'chopped' look, where the top half looks two feet forward of the legs!

I think its fine....I wore high waisted coral pants with cream top and nude shoes to my nephews wedding 3 weeks ago...I'm not sure why people are saying its not a good look?‍♀️....I got lots of compliments

For my son's wedding I wore navy lined chiffon trousers and camisole. I found a floaty colourful 'thing' to go on top - not a jacket, not a cardi, not a shrug - don't know what to call it, but it looked good and attracted compliments! I wore wedge shoes in the same navy as the trousers to help make my legs look longer.
Decades ago my mother had problems finding a trouser suit for my sister's wedding. Mum was self conscious about her swollen leg and wanted to hide it. There wasn't much choice in our rural area. She had to settle for a dark brown outfit. It was either that or a loud checked trouser suit she said made her look like a bookie's clerk! At least nowadays we have a huge range of choices on line.

Trousers for me for both sons weddings, both with ceremony and meal/evening in a hotel. The first was a winter wedding where I felt at ease in tailored black trousers, a bright red and black camisole with a matching long red over jacket with black piping. At the brides request I wore a hat, matching red and black. For the late summer wedding I wore light trousers overlaid with floaty chiffon, a matching beaded cami and floaty short jacket. Lots of compliments on both, although I’m pretty sure no other women wore trousers I felt very comfortable. I’m tall and often find dresses are too short for me to feel at ease unless I go for a maxi dress. In my view wear whatever you’re comfortable in, no rules.
