The date has been set and you’ve RSVP'd yes—now, you have to decide what to wear to a summer wedding. A cocktail dress (or a dress, period) isn't always the answer. First, check the venue to see if it’s indoors or outdoors. Next, see if the invitation specifies a dress code. Those two things will help you figure out how formal the event is. To give you ideas on what to wear, we’re navigating through a casual dress code, one that’s semi-formal, and a black-tie affair.
Now that you have an idea for your summer wedding outfit, we'll help you get dressed for all of your other summer events. From engagement parties to rehearsal dinners, explore our women's style guide for more outfit ideas.
