Another bumper wedding season is on the horizon, meaning that if you’re a guest, it’s high time you got your ducks (dresses) in a row. Invites stacking up on the mantelpiece? We’re not saying you need the perfect dress to have a good time, but wearing something comfortable that also makes you feel good will only ever work in your favour.
Before setting off on your dress search, make sure to consider your non-negotiables. Do you prefer floor-length, midi, or does your heart sing out for something with a higher hemline? Perhaps the invitation calls for florals? Or will your hosts be happier to see you in something of the black-tie ilk? In our edit of the best summer wedding guest dresses, we’ve considered a handful of suitable – and of course, stylish – categories to ensure you find a dress that covers all bases. That is, a dress that allows you to walk, sit, stand, eat, drink and – most importantly – dance. Keep scrolling to shop our line-up, which’ll see you through this wedding season and beyond.
