The Best Coats for Wedding Guests: Autumn & Winter Styles
Finding the perfect coat to wear to a wedding can be just as important as choosing your outfit underneath, especially during the cooler autumn and winter months. A beautifully cut occasion coat will not only keep you warm but also add elegance to your look, ensuring you feel confident from ceremony to reception.
At Shibumi, we specialise in timeless silk and cashmere coats that are designed to flatter all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re the Mother of the Bride, a wedding guest, or looking for a versatile piece you can wear again to the races, opera, or special evenings out, our collection offers something truly special.
Here are our top picks for autumn and winter wedding guest coats.
The Lyra Coat in Aubergine is a sophisticated silk coat that makes a stunning choice for autumn weddings. Its rich aubergine hue is flattering on all skin tones, while the elegant curved collar beautifully frames the neckline. The half belt at the back creates a feminine silhouette by accentuating the waist, and the slightly A-line cut adds softness and flow.
Designed with turn-back cuffs and intended to be worn open, this coat drapes effortlessly over dresses.
One of our most loved designs, the Nehru Coat in Avalon is a timeless favourite for wedding guests. Crafted in green embroidered silk, this coat is designed to flatter all body shapes and sizes.

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Guest Coat
When selecting a coat for a wedding, think about colour, fabric, and fit.
