Attending a wedding is a great opportunity to amp-up your style, so take the time to carefully craft your outfits. Here are some guidelines for rehearsal dinner dressing that will help you keep it chic while staying appropriate:

• Women
  Since the wedding day look should be more restrained and understated, the rehearsal dinner is where you can go for a more stylish, trend-forward look. Wear a chic jumpsuit if you’re going for a sophisticated, sleek city vibe or keep it classic with a cocktail dress in a fun, bold print or color. A full length maxi hemline can translate as either bohemian or ultra formal, so choose the style and print carefully to not appear overdressed. Rehearsal dinners are typically more relaxed, so feel free to go with a daring print, color or silhouette. Above all, make sure the fit and proportion of your outfit suits your size and shape.

• Men
  Rehearsal dinners range from casual to formal, but play it safe with a sport jacket and tie at the very least. Depending upon the setting, theme and mood of the night, attire can range from suit to flannel shirt so take cues from the groom on what’s appropriate and be sure to match your date’s level of dressiness. Remember the photos will last forever so you’ll want to present as your most polished and smart for the ages!
