Can I wear a white skirt to a wedding?

Question

My neighbor is getting married. It's not the first time, his wife died last year, and he's getting remarried. It's not a big wedding or anything, and they're both older. I know that you're not supposed to wear white to a wedding out of respect for the bride. But, is it still disrespectful to wear a white skirt with a black top or something?

Answer 1

u can, but i wouldnt!

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Sounds perfect! Dont worry about silly rules, no one will think you're being disrespectful.

Answer 4

you could wear it as long as you make it busy in your top black will make the white skirt so i dont think that would be good but if you had a floral like top so its not making a fuss around the white skirt

Answer 5

White is fine as long as you don't wear all white. Unless it it is a formal event then that may not be acceptable to wear  a white skirt.

Have fun at the wedding I'm sure they will be happy to see you there and not nit pick you about your choice of clothing. Just dont wear a bridal gown. ha ha

Answer 6

im sure u could find somthin else?

Answer 7

if all white skirt, dont!  If there are other colors on it its slightly more acceptable.  

Its always best not to at any wedding just in case!

Answer 8

its always best to be completely white.

Answer 9

ummmmmm...

no, you cant..

the idea is that the bride wears white.. raditionallyy your no ment to as it takes the attention of th bride...!!

you can but make sure u dont wear too much white, but maybe you could get attention in a different way ..

try topping off the look witha  pair or the highest heels you you can find.. !!! maybe ome really glittery earings...

but nahh ur not actually ment to wear white. so yeahh..

good luck and hav a great day !

Answer 10

That's fine, just don't wear all white.... or a veil. :)

Answer 11

you shouldnt wear white, its still showing disrespect, now if the skirt was white with maybe some floral or something on it, then that would probably be ok. I would have been pissed off if anyone came to my wedding wearing white

Answer 12

Yes sounds fine.

Answer 13

That seems okay.

Answer 14

Oh no, that sounds like a cute outfit. Even if the people getting married aren't re-marrying you could still wear that outfit. When they talk about wearing white to a wedding, it is more along the lines of all white.

Answer 15

well if itz a wte pencil skirt make it look classy any way you can but if i wear you i wouldnt only and only does the bride where white if it were a wte blouse i'd say go for it. i'd refrain from wearing it thought no biggie if you do. good luck

Answer 16

I'd say, first, look up wedding etiquette online.. but personaly, i'd say, don't go with a stark white, maybe an ivory, or an off-white

Answer 17

well, people have different opinions, so, i'd not wear it, just in case. I'm sure you'll good in anyting!

Answer 18

Is this the bride's first wedding?

If it is her first, then I would ditch the white and go for a more colorful look..!

If it isnt her first time, then stick with the white skirt. But i would say put a purple or blue blouse with it instead of the black. Unless the black top is totalllly adorable :]

Dont forget to add jewelry and a cute handbag [maybe a sequined clutch] and some hot shoes..you'll be ready.. heyy, maybe theyll have a hot nephew or something!

Answer 19

that's fine. one of my friends came to my wedding and she had on a white top but a green skirt. it's fine as long as it's not an all white dress

Answer 20

out of respect for the bride i don't think anyone should wear white under any circumstances

Answer 21

ask them

Answer 22

You can but I wouldn't!

Answer 23

i dont understand why you feel the need to where a white skirt. i think itr is disrespectful, be it, on top, bottom, whatever.

out of all the colored skirts you could wear, why not let the bride have her day in white??? you sound kind of selfish if you ask me.....

Answer 24

Answer 25

Absolutely!  I think the purpose of that etiquette "rule" is to not wear an outfit where you might be mistaken for a bride or look like you're trying to be.  White and black are very normal colors, and especially if it's just a skirt no one will even think twice about it.
