Of course she wants me to be her maid of honor … the only problem is that I’m an androgynous lesbian who wears men’s clothing. I don’t mind women’s slacks, though. What am I supposed to wear in\/to this wedding!? I am so panicked! I’m certainly not wearing a dress!A\u00a0Up until the last several years, brides dressed their \u2018maids in clothing that is less than desirable. And, for the most part, we dealt with it, even if \u201cit\u201d is 70s-prom-lookalikes, with a smile. Thankfully, in modern day weddings, most brides give their wedding party a color and fabric, and let them choose a style of their choosing, and since we\u2019re talking about your personal level of comfort that goes beyond aesthetics, it\u2019s absolutely worth communicating your concern to the bride.Depending on her wedding color palette, it may be difficult to find a pantsuit that is beyond the traditional black\/white\/gray. Alfred Angelo\u2019s Special Occasion collection features mix-and-match pieces in 60 different colors, with a couple of wide leg dress pants options.Depending on the formality of the wedding, a pair of crisp suit pants paired with a blouse in the bridesmaids\u2019 color would be a stylish middle-ground option (J.Crew has excellent pants and blouse options that aren\u2019t ultra femme). If it\u2019s more formal, our\u00a0advice would be to dress in similar attire as her groom\u2019s side of the wedding party\u2014suits with matching ties.Have a question for our editors?
