Basically you can wear any color you want in any style you want. Your choice will be affected by several factors like:

2. Perhaps your first wedding was your dream wedding and you would like to be a bit more subtle this time

The choice is entirely yours and heaven knows there are so many designs to choose from. You know your body type and what will suit you or not. Does it go with your personality and do you feel comfortable in it? You are wiser and more mature now and your taste probably changed from when you got married the first time anyway.

Here are some ideas as to which direction you may want to go:

A stylish brocade suit in any color

A sexy cocktail dress

A floor length elegant sheath dress
