Wedding guest dressing is an art form. There are so many things to consider, from comfort to dress code to not spending a ton on a dress you won’t wear again. But you don’t have to worry about that with the dresses on this list; we’ve found midis, maxis, and more you’ll reach for again and again.
A midi you can dress up or down…
Don’t sleep on Abercrombie’s dresses for all your upcoming weddings, especially since most of them don’t require a bra. This one can be worn with or without the straps and has a fun lace-up detail in the back.
A timeless silk slip dress…
There are few things more elegant than a slip dress. This one comes in a maxi length, so it’s appropriate for a black-tie event. It’s breathable and washable once you’ve danced the night away.
A unique long-sleeve maxi dress…
If you want to stand out from the crowd, may we suggest this long-sleeve pink number? It has stitched floral detailing, slightly flared sleeves, and a close-fitting silhouette. You’ll wear it on vacation once the wedding is over.
A maxi dress that looks more expensive than it is…
Throw on this floral maxi with its adjustable tie straps and ruffle neckline for a romantic take on wedding guest dressing. The blue and white rose pattern is extra dreamy.
A structured midi dress in a gorgeous color…
We’re seeing a lot of turquoise this spring, and this is one of the best pieces we’ve found. This jewel tone midi is structured in the best way with a side slit to show a little leg. The gold appliqué at the shoulder gives it a little pizzazz.
Another blue floral maxi dress worth mentioning…
We’re suckers for a blue floral print. This one is on a V-neck maxi dress with flutter sleeves. The fabric is silky and slinky so it’ll move with you, and it has ruching at the bust for a just-right fit.
A maxi dress fashion people love…
This dress is consistently a favorite among the fashion crowd. It has a lacy neckline, an open back, and little puffed sleeves. It’s sure to become a dress you reach for, even when you don’t have a wedding to attend.
A Hill House Home dress worth investing in…
It’s safe to say that when you buy a Hill House Home dress, you’ll be wearing it for years. This one has a chic square neckline with an A-line skirt and adjustable straps. The best part? It has pockets for stashing your lip gloss.
A maxi dress you’ll never get tired of…
This is a classic halter maxi dress with a fun draping scarf detail. The black is elegant, especially with a slick back hairstyle, or go for the red if you want to turn heads.
A shirt dress that will always make you feel polished…
Between the puff sleeves, the sophisticated organza fabric, and the bright raspberry color, this dress is a knockout. Pair it with heels for the occasion, then dress it down with sandals for every day.
A strapless maxi dress in a trendy color…
If you haven’t heard the term “gross green” yet, the color of this dress is a perfect example, and it’s trending for spring. Aside from the color, we also love the tiered silhouette and the bow in the back.
A maxi dress perfect for a black-tie dress code…
As the black-tie wedding invites come in, this dress will be your go-to. It has a lovely off-the-shoulder neckline, a drop waist, and a side slit. The chocolate color is a nice alternative to black.
A mixed fabric maxi dress…
Whether you go for it with the bubblegum pink or keep it classic in black, this dress will be a hit. The fabric has a good amount of stretch, so you won’t feel constricted, and the bottom pleats will create movement when you walk.
A lace slip dress that’s even better in person…
We saw this lace number in store, and we have to say, wow. The color is perfection, the lace is pretty, and the bias cut of the skirt makes it interesting. You’ll want to pull this out for date night post-festivities.
A maxi gown from one of our favorite dress brands…
When we have a wedding on the horizon, we rely on ASTR the Label for something to wear. This gown is no exception, with its bright hues and knotted bodice. The plissé fabric will be fun for twirling the night away.
