Temperatures may be dropping, but your social calendar is filling up to the brim, meaning you’re likely in need of some new winter wedding guest dresses to work into rotation. Unlike spring and summer, when you can bank on breezy, brightly colored maxis and strappy little sundresses, winter creates the oh-so-fun challenge of trying to look seasonally appropriate without overheating (or freezing). It could also be hard not to resort to just plain ol’ black (although we do love a classic LBD moment, like this Norma Kamali mesh stunner, $245).
So what’s a gal to do? From elegant slip dresses ($99) to velvet maxis ($95), try one of these wintry party dresses on for size. After considering nearly 100 options and consulting an expert stylist, we culled this list down to the top 37 winter wedding guest dresses, so you know they’re legit. Trust us, they’re bound to bring in tons of compliments (without upstaging the bride, of course).
