What to wear to a January wedding in Missouri?

I'm from Arizona and I'm not used to whatever kind of weather Missouri will have in January. What sort of outfit could I wear to the wedding that will keep me warm but still look formal?



(I don't know what time the wedding is, I think it's at a church and I don't want to wear pants!)

As a St. Louis girl, I would recommend wearing whatever you would normally wear to a wedding. Since it's a winter wedding, wear tights or pantyhoes, closed-toed shoes, add a sweater or wrap to your outfit, and be sure to bring a nice, warm coat, hat, gloves and scarf (most nice wedding venues will have a coat check where you can leave these items). Be prepared for very cold, snowy, wintery weather. But, like another poster said, the weather here in the midwest can be very unpredictable... it might even be warmer than you expect! (Yesterday the temperature got up to 55 or so - pretty nice! Today the high was 22 and it's drizzling/snowing and icy!)
I swear by thick tights and boots. For instance, last month I went to an outdoor wedding (in Missouri! in November! with snow!) wearing a high black boots, a kind of mod red dress, and black tights. Under the boots I wore an unsexy pair of tube socks. That outfit was quite warm enough for the indoor reception. For the ceremony I added my black and white boiled wool coat and a cute hat.



Think about layers. For instance, you might sneak a close-fitting cami under a dress if you can do so unobtrusively. A LBD would look lovely with a bright cardigan and a pair of textured tights. If you're really expecting a cold day, try wearing more than one pair of tights. It's 13 here today, and I'm wearing two pair. If you're thinking about wearing a shawl, pick a nice thick pashima-style rather than a gauzy little thing.

Dear unrach,

it is 19 degrees here right now, and it can get that cold or worse in January.

Make sure your wear a coat, have gloves, and something to put on your head. You might consider slipping a pair of jeans or slacks under your party dress, and slipping them off in the bathroom before you go into the reception, or wearing a pair of pantyhose, and doing the same.

We here when the weather is bad wear a sturdy pair of shoes, change them to our party shoes in the bathroom or the foyer of the reception, we bring a couple baggies to slip them into so you won't soak any purses or leak water anywhere, if it is raining or snowing or sleeting[it did all three yesterday].

Bring something for your shoulders for the party if you are a cold type person, plenty of time to go find a shawl or a shrug or a jacket to carry.

PS, if the wedding is in a church, churches here are notorious for not turning up the heat in the winter. I have worn my coat through more than one church Xmas or New Years program. Make sure your bring your wrap.

And before you get on the plane, check the weather. We were at 50+ yesterday. The weather could be very nice, and you might not need special things.

and let me take this oportunity to explain chill factors. The temperature on the weather does not take into acount the wind, which when blowing cold air, can make it feel way colder. Today we are at 19, but the chill factor right now is around 0. It was -20 below earlier. Step out of a disabled car for more than a few minutes, at those temps, and count on frostbite.
Something like a sweater dress with tights and dress shoes or boots. Nothing cream, white or ivory. You can wear a cute dress(even if it's short sleeve) and have a fur or dressy wrap.

If you wear a dress with thicker stockings you should be fine. Just don't wear any really thin material dresses. You could always get a half or 3/4 sleeve dress, knee length with boots and a nice thick stockings underneath that noone would see anyway. Take a warm coat and a pashmina to complement your dress and wrap yourself with that if you need to. All the best.
If you are inside you should be fine. Just bring a nice coat. Im pretty sure January is our coldest month! Bring plenty of warm clothes to wear while you are here. Maybe like a cute sweater dress or something.
