Special occasion jacket or coat As mentioned above you really will need to make sure you have an outer layer on standby, I got caught out when the hoped for spring weather didn't materialise and I hadn't sorted a coat to wear over my dress, I had one that worked ok but it wasn't great quality and I felt it was a bit of an afterthought
