15 Outfits for All Those Weddings You Have to Attend

Including one with pockets.

The invites are rolling in and, of course, you’re honored to be invited to approximately a bajillion weddings this summer. It’s nice to be popular — but it’s not so nice to find a new outfit for each and every reception. But the best wedding guest dresses aren’t necessarily the most extravagant or fancy. Instead, they’re the ones that are comfortable, memorable, and versatile enough for a repeat wear — even in the same wedding season.

Floral Midi Dress

Perfect for any summer shindig, this soft-structured dress is equal parts breezy and luxe. Plus — and we don’t say this lightly— pockets!

Black Satin Midi Dress

We never thought we’d put “understated” and “bustier dress” in the same sentence, but this style from Ukrainian designer Anna October is guaranteed to nab all the compliments.

Blue Vest and Trouser Set

A smart alternative to a traditional dress or jumpsuit, a breathable vest-and-trouser combo — especially this one in a summer-ready color like cornflower blue — is easy to dress up or down.
