Can You Wear a Trench Coat as a Wedding Guest?
For a wedding guest look, a Trench Coat works best as a polished arrival layer over something formal enough to match the celebration. Pair it with a Slip Dress and Ankle Boots for a combination that reads elegant without competing with the wedding party, or throw it over Wide-Leg Trousers and a Button-Down Shirt if the dress code leans smart-casual. The key is ensuring everything underneath can stand alone once you're seated—the trench is transport, not the outfit itself.
