Oh I have always wanted to write this.
You set up a false dichotomy.
Your alternatives are not mutually exclusive.
Oh Oh, I feel just like one of the debaters here.
But really:
There are so many lovely, flowing, and comfortable clothes available that I see no reason a person can't look AND feel good, and not offend the sensibilities of the wedding party. Since money isn't a problem for our independent heroine, a good silk pants set, with elasticized top and a loose tunic, would not have the groom's mother sobbing, "Who let the homeless person in!" unless she is just incredibly neurotic and in that case, no one will care what she is wailing about. It's all in the material.
Indeed, I just bought such a pantsuit recently, and wouldn't hesitate to wear it to a wedding.
And believe me, I had Emily Post jammed down my throat growing up in the South.
Flat shoes are not a problem. Not sure about socks though.
Were they argyle? Did they have inappropriate sayings on them? You know, like "Weddings Suck!" "All men are SCUM".
This would be a no-no.
