So, you’re invited to a winter wedding! And…now you have to find something to wear. If your current closet is leaving you uninspired, you’ve come to the right place. We collected the best winter wedding guest dresses and outfits all in one place to help you pull together an effortlessly chic look that’s perfect for the season.
What makes for a great winter wedding outfit?
It’s often in the texture, the silhouette, and/or the color. Winter is notorious for velvet as it’s luxe and warm and pairs beautifully with opaque tights. We love a long sleeve any time of year, but sleeves really have their moment in the cooler months. And just because the days are shorter and the nights are colder, that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up on florals. Winter florals have their place and their absolutely stunning when paired with the jewel tones that always pop up this time of year.
Finally, winter is the perfect time to rock a skirt or high-waisted pants with a show-stopper top. And you’re going to LOVE what we found. So let’s get to it!
