If you’re looking for an affordable wedding guest dress, we love this trendy slip.

Wear it with heels and a shawl as a wedding dress and then repurpose it with an open button-up and sneakers for lunch with friends. Over 5,000 customers gave this dress five stars for its color selection and vibrancy, along with the fabric weight (it’s on the thicker side), incredible fit, and comfort level. We also love it because it’s machine washable—which is not something you typically find in this dress style—and comes in a couple of different lengths, so you can choose the one that best fits your preferences.

An outdoor summer wedding requires a dress that keeps you cool but is still appropriate for the nuptial celebration. We recommend this midi satin dress, which features a slight cut-out and tie front detail that is chic and functional for the heat.

Amazon shoppers love this dress for its fit, adjustable straps, price point, and thin, flowing material that is ideal for summer weddings.

Fall weddings require a dress that feels a little more equipped for cool weather, but also works for those all-too-common warm fall days. With that in mind, we love a mini dress with long sleeves to balance things out. This Amazon wedding guest dress comes in tons of fun colors—some of which are more fitting for fall, like the charcoal and red, or the black and yellow floral prints—and is top-rated for comfort, incredible fit, and quality of construction. The dress material also received rave reviews for its quality and, more importantly, the fact that it doesn’t wrinkle after long periods of sitting.

We love this flowing off-the-shoulder dress because it has a more universal silhouette, fun pleated texture, color-blocked design, and high-low skirt detail. The top-rated dress also comes highly recommended by Amazon customers who love it for the ultra-lightweight and breathable material, the length, and the dimension of the fabric and color pattern. It’s a great option for tropical weddings as the material is on the thinner side of the spectrum, so is super breathable.

This mini dress is an easy and stylish way to wear the puff sleeve trend to a wedding because, compared to other styles, the sleeves are a little more subtle, plus they make the casual silhouette feel more elevated and elegant.

What to Look for in Wedding Guest Dresses

Comfort

According to celebrity stylist Samantha Brown, you want to wear a dress that fits perfectly but is also comfortable enough to eat and dance in. “This will ensure that your mind is on the experience and not on whether or not you’re wearing the right thing,” she explains.

Appropriate style

Brown says the dress style should also be appropriate for the occasion, so it’s important to consider the dress code as well as other factors like the venue and location.

FAQ

• “I always advise my clients to keep the invitation and refer back to the wedding dress code when choosing a dress,” says Brown. “Some of the old rules of formality have been abandoned—like black tie being exclusive to floor-length gowns—but I always prefer to err on the side of more formal versus more casual.” When dressing for a wedding, you want to also consider the wedding venue, location, time of day, and season, in addition to the dress code.

• “Formal dress is a step below black tie and, typically, the equivalent to cocktail attire,” says Brown. When dressing for a formal wedding, she suggests opting for “dressier fabrics like chiffon, velvet, and silk” and to “avoid cotton and linen as they are too casual.”

• Brown says “this is not the occasion to wear white.” That being said, all white or black and white weddings have become more trendy. So, if an invite dress code or the couple specifically requests that guests wear white, then it is okay to do so.
