Black-tie Wedding Guest Dresses

Your upcoming formal winter weddings will likely require black-tie dress, which should probably be floor-length but certainly doesn’t have to be black. For the colder months, look out for long-sleeve gowns in luxe velvets or weightier sequins in rich jewel tones. Once you find your perfect dress, throw on a faux fur shawl, slip into comfortable heels, and swipe on burgundy lipstick to complete your ensemble.

Cocktail Wedding Guest Dresses

Cocktail attire is one of the most popular special-occasion dress codes, offering a balance between formal and casual and allowing you (and the party) to effortlessly move from day to night. This opens you up to more silhouettes, hemline lengths, and fabrics. For the winter, we recommend midi dresses with delicate lace and mesh trims or elevated pearl and crystal embellishments.

Casual Wedding Guest Dresses

For winter weddings with outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours or with more casual, cozy vibes, keep your comfort (and warmth) top of mind. Slip into long-sleeve mini and midi dresses with matching scarves or velvet maxis, and pair them with sheer black tights and a pair of booties or closed-toe pumps.

Wedding Guest Jumpsuits

We love the idea of a jumpsuit for a winter wedding, because, let’s be honest: We don’t really want our legs exposed to the frigid winter air. To keep warm and comfortable while looking stylish, seek out long-sleeve and high-neck silhouettes in rich velvets and luxe jersey knits. Keep it sleek and chic with a versatile black jumpsuit ,or test out trendy burgundy, navy blue, or metallic silver styles.

Wedding Guest Pant Suits

These days, pantsuits for wedding guests are far more chic and sleek than ever before, so we want to put these matching separates on your radar. Be playful with metallic, floral, or velvet pantsuits that can be worn on their own with a statement necklace, with a blouse or vest underneath. When the party’s over, rewear the blazers and trousers for other winter festivities and office days.
