What to wear to a wedding in 2026?

What dress should I wear to a wedding?
Midi or long dresses are very much in vogue, so choose natural materials to feel comfortable all evening long! Jumpsuits and pants offer a modern, comfortable alternative. Here are our examples of ideal wedding outfits:
Choose your outfit according to the season
Fall and winter wedding attire
Opt for long-sleeved dresses in ecovero, a durable, fluid and seasonal material. Solid, dark colors like Bordeaux or navy blue are perfect for these seasons. You can also wear a print that will allow you to be chic and original. ❄️
Spring and summer wedding attire
Choose linen dresses (made in France) for a fresh, elegant look. Linen is a lightweight material that's very comfortable to wear. Ecovero is also a good alternative for floral prints, which are both trendy and timeless.

The eco-responsible suit
The suit is still a safe bet for men at weddings. In 2025, go for linen pieces (long- or short-sleeved shirts, pants) for an elegant, long-lasting look. If the heat is too much, or you would rather not wear a shirt under your suit, you can opt for a discreet white linen tee-shirt. Here's our selection of pieces to inspire you.

French casual chic
For a less formal wedding, the casual chic look is a great option. Pair a solid-colored polo with ethical chino pants and leather shoes for a casual yet polished look.

5 tips for wedding guests
Rule n°1 : The dress code
The first rule is to respect the dress code expected at the wedding, adapting your outfit to the wedding theme.
Rule n°2 : avoid white
White is traditionally reserved for the bride, so avoid wearing it as a guest at a wedding, as it could be misinterpreted.
Rule n°3 : choosing a locally made garment
Choose French brands and local artisans, and your outfit will stand out not only for its elegance but also for its superior quality. What's more, you'll be supporting an ethical cause and encouraging “made in France”.
Rule n°4 : not too ostentatious
Avoid excess (unless it's the theme, of course). Opt for sober, elegant and timeless outfits to keep a wonderful souvenir of the ceremony.
Rule n°5 : a comfortable fit
Think comfort, choose comfortable clothes and shoes. You'll probably be walking and dancing, so your clothes must be comfortable to wear throughout the evening. Once again, choose natural materials, which are incomparably comfortable to wear.
By following these tips for choosing a wedding outfit, as a guest, you'll be sure to shine while respecting sustainable fashion. Remember, the best outfit is the one that reflects your personality while respecting the spirit of the celebration.
