Short answer
A 60 year old woman should wear whatever makes her feel confident and comfortable, while matching the dress code and venue. A midi dress, a smart separates outfit or a tailored suit are all excellent choices.
Age is not a limit on style. The most important thing is to choose an outfit that fits well, suits the venue and matches the dress code. A midi-length dress in a fabric you love is a classic choice that works for most weddings.
If you prefer trousers, a tailored suit or smart separates look polished and comfortable. Many women find a jacket or a wrap useful for cooler churches or evening receptions. Choose shoes you can stand and dance in for several hours.
Colour is a matter of personal taste. Jewel tones, florals and prints all work well. Just avoid white and anything that could be mistaken for a wedding dress. If the wedding is on grass, avoid very thin heels that might sink.
Accessories can lift a simple outfit. A statement necklace, a clutch bag or a pocket square add personality without overwhelming your look. The goal is to look put-together and feel at ease, so you can enjoy the celebration fully.
