Q
I'm only 21 and my boyfriend's best friend's wedding is in November where the guests will all be 35+. I want to look classy, but still youthful. Do you have any suggestions for an appropriate outfit?
Laura, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Although you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb amongst a group of thirty-somethings, I still strongly believe you should look your age – after all, you've got youth on your side, so you should flaunt it! That said, avoid a thigh-skimming, slash-neck number; the aim of the game is not to outshine the bride.
For a November wedding you could opt for more muted tones and this Warehouse dress taps into two strong trends this season: the prom-style skirt and shimmery jacquard fabric. The length hits mid-thigh so you can show off your legs in thick black opaque tights. Add some metallic heels, a cropped cosy fur jacket and a statement necklace to finish the look – Oasis has some great pieces coming in.
