Preparation
Most guests take one of two approaches to winter wedding attire. The first involves donning that summer dress that could pass as cold-weather appropriate, especially if you add a cardigan and tights. The second means panicking (what even passes as winter-ready guest attire anyway?) as you sort through your closest or frantically shop online (will your pick get there in time?).
While neither approach is really wrong, there are much better ways to go about choosing a dress to wear to a winter wedding. In fact, we’re of the firm belief that dressing for an end-of-year fête doesn’t have to be the slightest bit stressful. The season is packed with so many rich textures and patterns—like velvet and winter floral—so you have plenty of choices as you decide what to wear.
To kick off the closet search or shopping spree, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite of-the-moment looks that you can shop right now.
