If you're in that scary part of your twenties, then you'll probably have a lot of weddings coming up. What's a girl to wear? If you don't want fork out for a dress that'll never see the light of day again, then separates may be the answer. & Other Stories is the kind of place that makes nuptial-appropriate garb without it looking too obvious if you fancy wearing it to a festival the week after. It's still pretty stealth in terms of high street, so fingers crossed that you don't see someone in the same look.

The Mixed-Print Suit Of Dreams

I think I may have just found the perfect suit. Perhaps it's because I’ve never been forced to wear one, so there’s a novelty factor involved. This viscose combo hangs nicely and is lightweight enough to avoid any sweaty church situations.

The Girly Geometric Duo

When I heard that Rachel Antonoff was doing a high-street collaboration, I did a little happy dance inside. Her quirky aesthetic is the perfect way to subvert the typical wedding attire and you could get so much wear out of this midi skirt and crop top after the big day.

The Jumpsuit That’s Made For Dancing

Got one of those weddings abroad? You can relax a little then and keep things simple with a one piece. Throw a blazer over the top for the ceremony, then lose it for the inevitable UK Garage megamix later on.

The acceptable way to wear white

Need an animal print that’s actually rather sweet and unassuming? Dalmatians don’t tend to get a look in usually, but if you’re not a fan of leopard then this co-ord may be the answer. If the weather looks a bit grim, then there’s plenty of trench coat options in store that you’ll definitely wear again.

The One That Hides All The Food

It's time for a new silhouette! OK I may have cheated a little, but you can’t deny that there’s something about the dress over trousers trend that looks really fresh. It’s also ideal when you need to be a little more modest, plus the print keeps things interesting.

The Androdgynous Mash-Up

If you look carefully, there’s lots of pieces with layering potential dotted around, which is great if you're struggling to find the right sort of top. This sleeveless blouse has a slight androgynous vibe, so contrasting with a bright blue skirt balances things out. Perfect if you're anti florals and fuss.
