Whether the wedding is a casual beachside ceremony or a black tie affair, this guide will help you navigate the tricky terrain of wedding guest attire.
Before you start shopping for the perfect outfit, it's essential to consider the dress code. The dress code serves as a helpful guideline to make sure you're dressed appropriately. Some common dress codes could include, casual, semi formal, cocktail, formal, and black tie. Each one of these dress codes has different rules associated with them and it's good to have some options for each just in case!

One option for a sundress would be The Great Crescent Dress.

Another choice for a casual wedding would be a chic and simplistic two piece set. The Bite Studios Movere set solves all your last minute problems. This set is easily dressed up with statement jewelry or a bold handbag.
Attending a semi formal or cocktail attire wedding calls for a step up in formality. Women typically can choose a knee length or midi dress and men can wear a suit and tie, or dress pants paired with a blazer. The Caruso Aida Grey Suit is the perfect color and weight for any spring or summer wedding. This suit features light canvassing and soft shoulders for a relaxed feel.
If you are looking for a way to mix and match your look, a sport coat with pants is the way to go.
