Q
My son is getting married in March, and I want something fashionable – not frumpy and pink – to wear to the wedding. I’m a size 14 and 5ft 5in, age 60.

There are lots of fabulous, figure-flattering options out there for stylish MOTGs looking to steer clear of pastel pink. I love the blue colour family because it's vibrant without taking attention away from the bride. Check out this belted style from Hobbs for an afternoon event, or this on-trend one-shoulder gown from Coast for an evening reception. I also love a jacket and shift combo, like this amethyst and cream duo from LK Bennett. (So Jackie O.) One quick word to the wise: check in with the bride before purchasing your dress, just to be sure it won't clash with the flowers or look too similar to her mother's outfit.
