One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our lovely Who What Wear readers is: “Which dress should I wear to a (insert ceremony type here) wedding?”. While there are certainly no rules when it comes to church ceremonies, registry office nuptials in the city or even a country escape or venue abroad. Of course there are some styles, and brands, we look to each season for wedding guest outfits.
Karina wears Rixo’s Gio midi dress, and you can shop it below.
Rixo, Reformation and Self-Portrait are always a go-to for dressy, yet wearable, dresses you can wear way beyond the wedding date. The likes of Simone Rocha and cult label Taller Marmo are reliable for the even fancier affairs. And when it comes to affordable styles, high street brands including & Other Stories, Reiss, Zara and Mango never fail to impress. With so many dresses out there, though, half the battle is looking for “the one”, because it’s not just the bride’s dress that’s important, is it?
So, to save you time for the multiple upcoming wedding you most likely have in your diaries, here are the 27 dresses (remember that film?), that we believe are the best spring wedding guest styles.
