What do you wear to a winter wedding as a guest… that ISN’T a dress? A dress isn’t the only option! There’s something else you can wear as attire that is fancy enough to do the trick and it’s NOT a dress: it’s a jumpsuit!

But, hang on, hear me out: these jumpsuits? They’re amazing.

A dressy jumpsuit makes the perfect winter wedding guest outfit and there’s no need to choose just a classic dress from your closet. Sure, a dress is one option but a jumpsuit is another outfit choice that you can — and should, 100% — consider.

From flouncy tops to ruffle sleeves, long sleeves to wide-leg pantsuits, this list has the most beautiful winter wedding guest outfits that aren’t dresses.

First, let’s answer this question from Mandy. She writes,

“Dear Emmaline, I’m going to a wedding in December and I don’t know what to wear. I know most people wear dresses but I’m looking for something different. Do you know of any winter wedding guest outfits that aren’t dresses? I’m open to ideas but I want something that will keep me warmer than a dress. Thanks so much for your help.”

Mandy, great question! When people wonder what women wear to a wedding as a guest, the answer is usually a dress… but that’s not necessarily the only thing you can choose. Jumpsuits are the best wedding guest alternative to a dress and it’s easy to see why they’re so wildly popular this year. There are many affordable styles available here, from wide-leg pants to asymmetrical tops — we’re even seeing velvet jumpsuits for winter wedding guests to wear.

A jumpsuit is just as formal as a dress, but makes a fun alternative when you want to wear a different outfit instead. Some pantsuits even look like a dress based on the way they move with your body, but they’re separate pants and, personally, I think they’re super fun to dance in! Jumpsuits are particularly perfect for winter weddings, as you’ll get more coverage, thicker fabrics (velvet or satin, just to name a few) and these can keep you a bit warmer, as you mentioned. In fact, some of the most stylish wedding guest outfits that aren’t dresses include ALL of the jumpsuits listed below in our round-up, for your convenience.

Take a look: I hope you’ll find the perfect attire to wear to the wedding and you fall in love with jumpsuits, as I have! There are so many lovely options, as you’ll see below. Enjoy!
