The invites for all those upcoming summer weddings have been pouring in and you've got to map out your outfit options. Some are black tie affairs, most are cocktail casual and your cousin has opted for “beach chic,” whatever that means. And of course, there’s also the hot and humid weather to contend with, which has to be taken into consideration when choosing your silhouettes and materials (halters or strapless necklines, along with cotton and linen, are your friends). That means you're going to need a breezy dress (or four) that's lightweight, stylish and falls in line with the wedding dress code.
But there’s no need to stress—I’ve got expert tips and picks on what to look out for, plus what not to wear if you want to stay on the happy couple’s good side. Most importantly, of course, I've tracked down 40 of the best summer wedding guest dresses from some PureWow-favorite brands and retailers—including Nordstrom, Reformation, Revolve, and Lulus—to get you through summer wedding season in style, no matter your budget, body type or dress code.
