Contemporary brands like Staud, Dôen and Rixo create wedding guest dresses season after season; if you’re not looking for an investment piece, you’ll find some options among our editors. For something a little more special, why not opt for The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel’s strapless gown in celery? All it’s missing is a pair of diamond stud earrings for a polished look? Or a ruffled, floor-sweeping polka dot pattern courtesy of Cara Cara? We spotted sophisticated pastel shades of soft lavender and lemon yellow at Chloé, Bernadette and McQueen; if you want to stay true to the unofficial theme of the moment with floral prints (unless otherwise stated), Erdem’s rose pleated satin midi dress and Carolina Herrera’s painterly ballgown are sophisticated options.
Ahead, shop these 30 stylish pieces to cement your title as the best-dressed wedding guest this spring.
