Wedding season is officially upon us. You know what that means: bachelorette parties and busy weekends, all with the best summer wedding guest dresses in tow. Yes, the ceremony is mostly about celebrating someone else’s special day, but it’s also an excuse to serve looks. (Your Instagram grid needs cute summer dress pics, after all.)
Our top picks
First, let’s bust some myths: While bright colors and floral prints are always welcome for beach or garden parties (especially this year, when all things pink and Barbiecore are taking over), you can totally wear a black dress to a summer wedding. Outdoor events might be well suited to shorter hemlines, cutouts, and strapless tops (don't forget the boob tape), but long slip dresses (one of the hottest styles), midis, and sleeves are very much on trend. Really, it just comes down to picking forgiving materials that breathe, airy silhouettes, and numbers that are a little more elegant than your average cover-up.
Whether you're shopping for a unique mother-of-the-bride dress, a maternity wedding guest dress, or something affordable from Amazon that'll come in time if you procrastinated, the most popular styles are all right here, Plus, you’ll be able to restyle them for plenty more outfits to come (just pop on a moto jacket and you’ll have an entirely different look). Grab a wedding gift, pick up a pair of comfortable sandals you can dance in, and shop the best summer wedding guest dresses for 2023 below.
