13 Winter Wedding Outfit Formulas for Every Budget

10. Pleated Skirt + Turtleneck (Budget–Mid: $75–300)

A midi pleated skirt paired with a fitted turtleneck offers an elegant daytime wedding look that layers well for winter. Pick a heavier pleated fabric such as wool or coated polyester so the pleats keep shape and avoid clinging in damp weather. Add opaque tights and ankle boots or loafers with decorative details. A belt or slim jacket can create waist definition; finish with a small structured bag and minimal jewelry for a refined silhouette. This formula balances budget and polish; invest in a good turtleneck and reuse the skirt for future events. Estimated full-outfit cost: $75–300. Renting skirts is possible for designer options, but buying gives versatility. For body diversity, choose skirts with elastic or adjustable waists and turtlenecks with some stretch; pairing with heels lengthens the leg line for shorter guests. For an Indian touch, pair the pleated skirt with a brocade or embroidered short jacket to nod to traditional motifs while staying winter-ready.
