So, you have a wedding coming up, and you’re stressing out about the style of wedding guest dresses or outfit that you should go for? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of ten wedding guest ideas to inspire you. And yes, they’re dress code appropriate too. Let’s take a look.

Cocktail Dress

When you’re invited to a black-tie wedding, you need wedding guest dresses that are formal. Think cocktail dresses that wow, or even a floor length gown paired with heels to make the right impression.

Black Tie

For the guys, you’re of course going to want to go with black tie itself. Yes, that means a tux! So drag it out of the closet or get fitted for a new one – even a white jacket could work for you here.

Summer Dress

If the wedding isn’t overly formal, but it’s casual, during the summer, or even abroad, then go ahead and choose a sundress. Teamed with wedges, strappy sandals, or pretty flats, you’ll look and feel amazing!

Dress Pants + Sports Coat

Guys, if you’re in the same predicament as the women above, then your wedding guest outfit of choice can easily be dress pants or khakis. A simple shirt is great, or even something tropical if you’re heading to a beach wedding can be fun here.

Pant Suit

If you’ve got something semi-formal to attend ladies, you can definitely rock a pantsuit if you wish. Wedding guest dresses aren’t the only option for you. Especially something edgy and elegant – it can make quite the statement.

Formal Suit

For the men, a great dressy casual option for you is the formal suit. It should be dark, worn with a shirt, and a tie too. That way, you fit in with the formal aspect, but you’re not trying too hard (or overdressed).

Skirt + Top Combo

Ladies, another great alternative to the basic wedding guest dresses, is a skirt and top combo. Take a smart skirt and pair it with a pretty top and heels to give it a dressy finish.

Simple Suit + Tie

Gents, your wedding guest dresses alternative for something semi-formal or smart casual is a suit that fits. The occasion, not you! You can even go with something light if it’s daytime and the right time of year.

Formal Full-Length Dress

And if you’ve been invited to a white-tie wedding, forget looking at average wedding guest dresses. You need a formal evening gown. Floor-length and fabulous!

White Tie

Men, you’re then going to have to follow suit and go with tails and a white vest, gloves(!), and a good old-fashioned pair of formal Oxfords too. But hey – it’s fun to go all out every once in a while, isn’t it?

And that’s the full list of wedding guest dresses. Just make sure that you know the dress code and have fun with what you wear, and you’ll have a great time. Happy Shopping!
