Boleros & Shrugs & Shawls, oh my!


When the weather begins to wander into the chillier end of things, a bride can never be too prepared. You don't want to catch cold just before your honeymoon...but how to coordinate practicality with fashion?

Thankfully, there are a variety of shoulder-protecting clothing items to choose from. Especially in the last few years, boleros, shrugs and shawls have made their way back into the formalwear vernacular and can be found almost anywhere that sells evening wear or even business wear (see: Ann Taylor, J. Crew and Banana Republic). White House/Black Market has a plethora of wedding coordinates, including the bolero pictured here. Etsy is chockful of more vintage & indie-styled shrugs ranging from knits to structured pieces to faux furs.

Now there's no excuse to listen to your mother's age-old advice: "put on a coat before you go out!"
