Style Tip: If you want an instantly put-together ensemble, opt for a monochromatic look with a silk-satin dress and a satin trench coat.
Style Tip: In case you need an easy look to wear at a moment's notice, a jewel-tone dress and a pair of easy mules will be just what you need.
Style Tip: Not much of a dress person? Style a chic strapless top with a pair of straight-leg pants.
Style Tip: A classic LBD will feel polished with a cropped cardigan. Plus, if you're attending an outdoor wedding, it'll keep you warm.
Style Tip: An all-lace dress will always feel particularly feminine. Let it be the focus of your ensemble with simpler accessories.

Style Tip: Another classic wedding guest ensemble is a coordinated suit. With chic sculptural earrings to add a modern touch, you'll be set to go.
Style Tip: When in doubt, you'll never go wrong with a lace-trim slip dress and minimalist accessories.
