Perfectly striking the balance between refinement, elegance, and femininity, MERABI’s occasion jumpsuits are an indispensable addition to any formal wear wardrobe. From a black-tie reception to a courthouse ceremony, a well-styled jumpsuit is guaranteed to make a lasting impression.
But are jumpsuits appropriate for weddings? And how do you style them accordingly? In this guide, we’ll explore the art of styling our wedding guest jumpsuits, covering everything from finding the perfect fit to accessorizing with finesse, and our top picks. Get ready to elevate your wedding guest wear and discover why a MERABI jumpsuit is the ultimate head-turning piece.
Why Choose a Jumpsuit?
Jumpsuits are a great alternative to occasion dresses for those wanting to try a more chic and contemporary style without compromising on class and poise. These one-piece garments provide an elongated and tailored silhouette with the comfort and convenience of trousers—no more worrying about cooler evenings or finding flesh-colored stockings.
NADINE MERABI’s luxurious range of jumpsuits offers an array of designs to suit every taste and event, from cinched waists and wide-leg trousers to elegant embellishments and figure-flattering silhouettes.
Fit and Tailoring: Choosing the Right Jumpsuit for the Occasion
As with any designer piece, the key to creating a memorable ensemble that looks as though it was tailor-made for you is choosing the right fit. Jumpsuits come in various fits, cuts, colors, and materials, each better suited to a specific occasion and body type.
Generally speaking, the most universally flattering jumpsuits are wrap or belted styles, which cinch at the waist, drawing in the eye to give the illusion of a sleek, hourglass silhouette, or wide-leg trousers to balance out the hips and elongate the legs.
Our HARLEY Red Jumpsuit features a corset-style bodice with a thick red belt to tighten the figure and a luxurious red velvet fabrication for those wanting a bold look at a candlelit dinner or black-tie affair. For the modern bride wanting a playful reception look, or if you’re attending a lavish white-themed wedding, the LUCINDA White Jumpsuit combines a waist-cinching belt and flared trousers for a sleek figure.
If you’re attending a highly formal event or are looking for more modest styles, MERABI also offers a selection of long-sleeve jumpsuits. One of our signature pieces, the BELLA Black Jumpsuit provides head-to-toe glamour with its high neckline and long sleeves crafted in a light-catching, sequin-embellished floral lace material. Have a spring wedding on your calendar? MADDIE is your girl. Blending modest coverage with a romantic lace design and detachable belt in a soft, powder blue color, this jumpsuit is the perfect companion for sun-drenched occasions.
How to accessorize a jumpsuit
Now that you know how to choose the perfect jumpsuit, it’s just as vital that you know how to style it—there’s a fine line between complementing your jumpsuit with the right accessories and overwhelming it.
NADINE MERABI’s designer jumpsuits are crafted with couture-level details to ensure they shine on their own, but the right layers and accessories can elevate the look.
If you want your jewelry to do the talking, choose a jumpsuit that acts as a backdrop for your beloved pieces. Black jumpsuits are an ideal choice; versatile enough to complement any color. Our VIVIANNE Black Jumpsuit, with its rich black velvet fabrication and deep v-neckline, offers a blank canvas for a statement necklace and matching pendant earrings.
Bolder pieces like our sequin jumpsuits are best for occasions that demand a show-stopping ensemble, like New Year’s Eve parties and birthday celebrations. They’re designed to command attention and catch the light, so keep accessories refined and minimal. LUCINDA Gold, another one of our bestsellers, is crafted from our exclusively designed sequins for a lustrous look—pair it with gold earrings and a simple necklace.
You can elevate your jumpsuit even more by playing with layers and textures. If you’re opting for a solid, neutral-colored piece like our black and white jumpsuits, add a touch of delicate romance by wearing our pearl HETTIE Bodysuit underneath. Otherwise, drape one of our tailored blazers over your shoulders for an added touch of structured refinement.
What shoes to wear with a jumpsuit
When choosing a pair of shoes to wear with your jumpsuit, consider what you’re most comfortable with and how to make it complement the look. Strappy heels and classic pointed courts are a common choice, as they elongate the leg and ensure the garment’s hem skims the floor to maintain an elegant drape.
However, a pair of elegant flats or boots can also add an elegant flair to your ensemble. Pointed flats and boots can be hidden under wide-leg trousers, mimicking the look of pointed heels.
