Have you been invited to a summer wedding, and you're wondering what to wear? Summer wedding outfits can be a struggle: will you be inside, in chilly a/c, or will you be outside, under the hot summer sun? Is it a day wedding, or an evening event? Is it a super casual beach wedding, or a more formal affair?
No matter the case, finding the perfect wedding guest outfit can be daunting.

Summer Wedding Style Made Easy
Before you start shopping for the perfect wedding outfit, take some cues from your current fashion style. If you don't typically wear dresses, don't feel pressured into having to wear one now. If you prefer to stick to neutrals or dark colors, that's fine, too. If heels aren't your thing, wearing flats and sandals would be just fine.
Look Online
If you've had no luck shopping at brick and mortar stores, you can always look online. With the myriad of online shops to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect outfit that's suitable for any wedding style. Our advice: steer clear of fast fashion and overseas websites. These garments are usually less-than-quality knock offs of established brands, take forever to arrive and are near impossible to return. Make sure you know your measurements and check (and re-check!) size charts, consider reviews from other buyers and understand return policies before ordering.

You Can Never Go Wrong With A Little Black Dress
A little black dress ("LBD") should be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. For a wedding, look for a classic fit and style that isn't too revealing or "showy". A LBD can be paired with just about everything, from pearls to diamonds to dainty gold and silver jewelry. A simple pair of black heels or strappy sandals complete this classic wedding guest look.

Consider A Pantsuit
Why not treat yourself to a new trouser suit? Traditionally, women have worn dresses to weddings but if you tend to work in a business or corporate environment, a trouser suit can pull double duty. Look for summer fabrics like linen, or a seasonless cotton blend. Add a bit of glitz with a brooch or bib necklace. For an evening wedding (or something a bit more formal), pair with a sequined tank or tee and strappy heels.

A Never Fail Sundress
A floral sundress, whether it's a maxi or mini sundress, is always a good bet when it comes to summer wedding fashion. Alternatively, a fit and flare or empire waist dress would work just as well. If florals aren't your thing, consider nauticals or timeless polka dots in a lightweight fabric, such as chiffon.

No matter what you decide to wear to a summer wedding, it's always best practice to stay away from white (for obvious reasons!), and to choose a fabric that's breathable in a style that comfortable and easy to move in.
