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 I do love a classic LBD moment, like this CeCe strapless dress, $129).
So what’s a gal to do? Well, from elegant minidresses ($228) to velvet maxis ($98), try one of these wintry party frocks on for size. After considering nearly 100 options and consulting an expert stylist, I culled this list down to the top 37 winter wedding guest dresses, so you know they’re legit. Trust me, they’re bound to bring in tons of compliments (without upstaging the bride, of course).
