Wondering what tops to wear to a wedding? Well, this article is for you!
Now I am in my late 20s and well, attending my friend’s wedding is already part of my life routine.
After 5 weddings in a row this summer, now I am so over my one-piece dresses as slowly it feels like I am wearing a uniform.
Don’t get me wrong, the dresses are stunning but I guess it’s time to freshen things up with some comfy and dressy separates!
Ahead, I’ve gathered 12 tops to wear to weddings along with some styling tips & tricks – enjoy my loves! ❤️
1. Wedding guest essential: Satin top
If you are looking for a fail-proof look for the coming wedding, well, a satin or silk top is gonna be the no-brainer.
Featuring the shimmering sheen that looks effortlessly elegant and luxurious, it’s easy for you to look out together in a satin top and high-waist pants.
Of course, attending a delightful wedding is always the best occasion to try out some fun hues.
The Orange and purple combo just screams distinctive taste like no other – obsessed.
For a unique and womanly neckline, this top is my handpick ❤️
The best part? The quality is so fine – enjoy my loves!
2. Puffy sleeve top
Of course, your wedding guest attire collection won’t be complete without your favorite puffy sleeve top.
It’s cute, whimsical, and a lot of fun.
For an extra arm and belly forgiving top, check out this cutie below.
I love the subtle peplum design – the slightly flared design just camouflage the belly in an instant ❤️
3. Peplum top
Another belly-forgiving choice – peplum top.
Seriously, the effect is remarkably flattering. Your bloated belly is gone and replaced by an hourglass shape.
The waterfall sleeve just makes the top extra romantic!
To finish off the look, opt for wide-leg jeans or trousers to balance the shape and look dressed up ❤️
4. Failproof choice: Floral top
Of course, how can we miss the floral prints for a spring wedding?
It’s giving ‘love is in the air’ vibes.
If you want to style florals in a modern silhouette, this top below might be your thing!
5. Stay chic in waistcoat
To stand out from the crowd, go for the cool girl route my friend.
A waistcoat just adds depth to an otherwise simple outfit and gives out a distinctive sense of style.
Get inspired by this lady and wear a brooch to elevate the style!
The beige and black outfit is everything.
By teaming the top and shoes in the beige like a set, you can enjoy the elongating effect from head to toe – love!
Whether you dress it up with a nice pair of culottes or keep it casual in jeans, this vest is such a versatile piece.
6. Fun prints never fail
When it comes to prints, florals are the failsafe option but let’s not forget there is a wide range of patterns you can have fun with!
What about pairing up your statement polka dot shirt with a pink blazer set for a fun joyful get-up?
This print top below is everything – reminds me of a perfect summer.
Despite the beautiful print, it’s the hand-embellished neckline that makes this blouse one-of-a-kind.
7. Eyelet shirt for wedding
For the ladies who want to keep things subtle, it’s time to get experimental with an eyelet shirt.
The bohemian essence of the intricate embroidery creates the yoke of this collared shirt, offset by long cuffed sleeves.
8. Forgiving off-shoulder top
As a chubby face girl, off-shoulder is my gem.
By showcasing the shoulder line, my face appears to be smaller comparatively and camouflages the upper arms as well!
Throw a white belt over to emphasize the high waist.
Wanna keep it casual and classy?
Consider teaming your billowy pink top with white jeans – they just look more dressy than the regular blue jeans!
9. A statement ruffle top
Fashion comes and goes and bold ruffles are here to stay.
Together with the pink pants and white espadrilles wedge, this look is such a mood booster.
Trust me, weddings need this kind of fun drama.
10. Play with colors
Regardless of your body shape, you can wear all kinds of colors if you feel like it!
My recent favorites are pink, lavender, and buttermilk yellow.
By the way, while some people think a pleated skirt is tricky to style, it’s not.
If you want to camouflage the bulk of the mid-section area, pair this up with a cropped blazer and a high-waist-defining white belt always do the trick!
11. Level up the look with a scarf
If you are wearing solids and feel like something is missing, I’d say throw on a scarf.
Seriously, it just elevates an otherwise plain outfit with a dash of elegance and timelessness!
An intricate scarf + pink boatneck dress + Mark Cross bag = Perfection.
There are hundreds of ways to wear this wardrobe essential and you’ll never run out of ideas.

12. Poncho for fall & winter wedding
When the days are cold out, a poncho and shawl are your BFF.
One of the most stylish yet practical is to belt it up for a billowy silhouette.
If you want to create the peplum yourself, just belt up the poncho and you’re good to go!
When styled correctly for your body type, a poncho is truly flattering on all ladies.
