Here are some of our favourite alternatives… [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/32026) All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products. ## Look 1 Like a dress, a smart jumpsuit has the ease of an all-in-one, but the tailoring feels a little less feminine. Add some white strappy sandals and a tonal box bag. ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/dlAlVnlzGWf0rn0VPa6DL67vuFo=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2022%2F06%2Fwedding-outfit-ideas-jumpsuit.png) [Fletcher Jumpsuit, £540 | Seren London](https://seren-london.com/products/fletcher-jumpsuit) [Ribbon Small 14kt Gold-Vermeil Hoop Earrings, £145 | Otiumberg](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35725&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.matchesfashion.com%2Fproducts%2FOtiumberg-Ribbon-small-14kt-gold-vermeil-hoop-earrings-1498184) [Bag With Metal Handle, £32.99 | Zara](https://www.zara.com/uk/en/bag-with-metal-handle-p16468910.html) [Fan Sandal Chalk, £325 | Dear Frances](https://dearfrances.com/products/fan-sandal-chalk?_pos=1&_sid=36183a489&_ss=r) ## Look 2 Another option is tailored trousers and a top.

Reiss is one of our go-tos for affordable, quality tailoring – we love the tie waist detail on this pale blue suit.
