Style Guide: The Dress-Codeless Wedding

Style Guide: The Dress-Codeless Wedding

The situation: You read the invitation, and then you read it again (and again, and again) and there's definitely no mention of dress code. Don't stress! Here's how to figure out exactly what to wear when your usual style guide leaves out a few important details.


OPTION A

Keep it Casual

Let's look at the details: Is it a daytime celebration? Is the ceremony outside? Chances are the happy couple planned a more casual occasion. Match the tone with something airier, like a cropped jumpsuit in a fun party-friendly print.


OPTION B

Definitely Dressy

Take a sec to evaluate the fancy factor on the invitation itself. Do you see neutral colors and pretty calligraphy? Does the paper feel nice and thick? Take this as your cue to up the elegance and rock something more formal (like this chic little navy number).


OPTION C

Somewhere in the Middle

Still have no idea? Don't stress! Play it safe with something that can go either way, like a structured midi with fun summer details. Not convinced? Wear heels and throw some simple sandals in your bag. If you're feeling overdressed, swap it out!
