The best man, first of all, must have a sober and discreet look. This does not necessarily mean that she should dress simply or anonymously, but that it is better to avoid clothing that is not suitable for the role, such as dresses that are too short or too low-cut (especially if the wedding in question involves a religious ceremony), or colors not recommended for a wedding like black or white. The wedding witness's dress can also include imaginative decorations or be richly embellished with sequins, stones or special workmanship, the important thing is that it is in good taste and that it does not steal the show from the real protagonist of the event: the bride.

The best man's clothes

The best man should generally wear a long or medium-length dress. It would be best to avoid dresses that are too low-cut, and our general advice is to avoid dresses with thin or strapless straps, as they may look too sexy, if not downright vulgar. In some cases, however, even a short dress, or strapless, can prove to be suitable as a maid's dress, with the right characteristics. For example, if the dress is short, it will be better to choose a soft, non-aggressive or too cheeky color, such as a pastel tone, perhaps enriched with floral prints or elegant materials such as satin. Without prejudice to the discreet color of the dress, you could also indulge yourself with embroidery, sequins and decorations. But be careful of the season: a dress with golden sequins is more suitable for winter than for summer, while very light tulle flounces are perfect for the warmer season. Below you can find many dress ideas suitable for a wedding witness.
