Scroll on to see the best dress styles to wear to a wedding, straight from our editors.
"If you want a dress style that can work for a wide variety of weddings, I'd recommend investing in a long-sleeve midi dress. The sleeves mean that it can work if the weather turns to the chillier side and if you're attending a more conservative wedding."
"For weddings, I realized I have a habit of buying (and wearing) dresses that are black but still feel special. That way, I don't worry about looking boring but am also more comfortable repeating the outfit should I need to!"
"The balance between the deep slit and the high neck makes this dress feel both sexy and elegant."
"I typically go for something that's figure flattering but also has an interesting detail, like the low back on this amazing dress from Vatanika."
"I think that dresses with a sleeve lessen the chances of an unflattering photo, so that's what I typically gravitate toward. This particular one would be perfect for a New Year's Eve wedding."
"I love a slip dress for pretty much every kind of special event, including weddings. This hot pink color is so me."
"Dressing for a formal occasion can be tricky because it's so easy to fall back on an LBD or a simple, solid-colored dress. However, ideally, I like to incorporate a print that shows a bit more personality. I also love the ruffle and sheer details here that make this number feel extra special."
"I love a printed wrap dress for weddings because they're so comfortable and versatile. This one from Rhode Resort is particularly special with its hand-embroidered star details."
