Mother of the Bride Pant Suits

Some moms or grandmothers of the bride prefer to wear pant suits for this special occasion.

For a stylish and comfortable look, many mums and grandmothers like to consider wearing a pant suit.

Some of the co-ordinated two piece outfits look as smart as any skirt and jacket, especially when teamed with a co-ordinating hat, top and shoes.

The fit of the pants is important, as many older women like to cover up their tummy, so ensure that you choose some that are high waisted.

Another tip to making the most of your figure, especially for larger or plus sizes, is to choose boot cut or palazzo style pants, with a wider bottom at the ankle, which gives you shape and adds a few curves.

Petite women look good all in one colour as it adds height, so a matching jacket, top and pants with co-ordinating accessories will help to add a little height.

The fabric you choose is also important, soft flowing fabrics such as crepe de chine can feel and look fabulous. Try and avoid stiff fabrics that don't move easily as you walk.

For an elegant look team with sandals or court shoes, save the boots for a less formal occasion when you can wear your outfit again.

The pant suit is a particularly popular look for the grand mother of the bride, who is more able to wear this slightly less formal look.
