Are there any set rules about what to wear to a communion? In this article, we are going to help you hit the mark with your outfit for the next communion. Discover our tips and explore our suggestions to give that final touch to your look with the trendiest accessories of the moment.
How to dress for a communion
Let’s start with the basics: the attire. What do we wear to a communion? As always, it depends on the degree of formality of these events. Perhaps the style of the place chosen by the family to celebrate the communion can already give you a clue. But we are going to give you some general tips on how to dress for a communion so you can get your outfit right.
- DRESS OR SUIT? A dress is the classic option for women. Knee-length, so-called midi dresses are an excellent choice. Opt for simple lines and classic cuts and choose them with lace or embroidery to create a romantic look. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing dresses, suits are for you. You can opt for an outfit consisting of a jacket and matching pants or even a skirt, if you prefer. Looking for something more eye-catching? Elegant jumpsuits are a modern and sophisticated option to wear for a communion.
- COLORES: Communions usually take place in the spring. This should also be reflected in the colors of your outfit. In addition, it’s important that the solemnity and elegance of the event are respected through soft and discreet tones. White, pale pink, light blue and, in general, all pastel colors are perfect for a communion outfit. Avoid colors that are too bright. These are more appropriate for evening events.
- FABRICS: Given the time of the year, light fabrics are ideal to wear for a communion. Cotton, linen and silk are materials that will stop you from getting hot.
- SHOES: The rule is always the same for footwear for events lasting several hours: comfort comes first! Choose a shoe that fits well, you should not feel excessive pressure anywhere. Wear only high heels if you are used to wearing them on a daily basis. Otherwise, you may have to cut the celebrations short. If you don’t want to wear flat shoes, wedges are an excellent option as they’re much more comfortable than thin heels. Do you like to wear flat shoes? With elegant ballerinas you can’t go wrong. Whatever shoes you choose to wear for your communion, make sure they complement your outfit in both style and color.
Accessories for a communion
For a well-rounded outfit, accessories are essential. In addition to being practical, they enhance your look. The bag is key, both for aesthetic reasons and for its functionality. Always opt for elegant small bags that match your outfit and do not steal the limelight. The classic clutch, or handbag, is a great choice. If you prefer to keep your hands free, go for a small bag with a long, thin strap that you can carry over one shoulder.
Spring doesn’t guarantee sunny days. We advise you to bring an elegant jacket or a foulard in case you get cold. You can wear it tied around your neck or over your shoulders to give an extra touch of glamour to your outfit.
If it’s a very formal communion, take the opportunity to complete your outfit with a headdress or a hat. Wide-brimmed hats are the most popular for this type of event.
Jewels for your communion outfit
Now for the icing on the cake: the jewelry. This is the perfect accessory to give that touch of brightness to your communion outfit. These events call for subtle and delicate jewelry.
Choose necklaces with thin chains and discreet pendants. Also, opt for minimalist and small earrings in classic materials such as yellow gold or silver. We recommend you choose bracelets that add a touch of sparkle to your wrist without being too flashy and thin rings. Do you like pearls? This is the best time to wear them. Thanks to their great versatility, they are ideal for any outfit you choose for a communion.
