We're almost halfway through wedding seasons which means your enthusiasm for finding a novel outfit for every nuptials you're attending could be waning. So if pretty dresses and heels just aren't cutting it any more, or you fancy looking into something a little more experimental, here are some ideas for rebooting your guest-dressing attire...

Switch up your suiting

You can count on Kate Moss to make a subtle style statement as a wedding guest. A city or country wedding is the prime opportunity to wear a co-ord with a twist. Shorts or skirts with matching tops or jackets are unusual and will pretty much guarantee you won't see another person wearing it at the wedding even when buying off the high street. Chose a light colour (grey or gold work well for full tonal dressing) and accesorise with a tan. Pair with platforms and little beaded drawstring bags to add a playful twist.

Choose tailored trousers

Take your style cues from Amal Clooney (albeit at her own civil ceremony) and dispense with the usual pencil skirt/top combo and opt for culottes or tailored wide leg trousers instead. Its far more modern, and you will feel comfortable all day and night long. It works equally well for city or destination weddings: just change the colour of the trousers or style of the top. But keep fabrics luxe for both - silks, satin or thin crepes work best.

Embrace flats

It can be a natural tendency to go straight for heels when dressing for a wedding, but don't ignore flats. Ballet pumps are having a resurgence; the slipper is the shoe du jour and crystal sandals are a perfect match to summer temperatures. You will be infinitely more comfortable and won't have to dance barefoot at the end of the evening. Look to Bianca Brandolini and pair them with a statement dress for high/low appeal.
