Formal winter weddings likely require black-tie dresses, which should probably be floor-length but certainly don’t have to be black. Look out for rich jewel tones in satin or iridescent fabrics. We’re eyeing holiday-appropriate ruffles for extra dimension and drama. Then, throw on a faux-fur shawl, slip into comfortable heels, and swipe on burgundy lipstick to complete your ensemble.

Cocktail Wedding Guest Dresses
Cocktail attire is one of the most popular special-occasion dress codes. Somewhere in between formal and casual, it allows you (and the party) to move from day to night, and it opens you up to more silhouettes, hemline lengths, and fabrics. For the winter, we recommend midi dresses with delicate lace and mesh trims or elevated bows and pearl embellishments.

Casual Wedding Guest Dresses
For winter weddings with outdoor ceremonies or restaurant receptions with casual, cozy vibes, keep your comfort (and warmth) top of mind. Slip into long-sleeve mini or midi dresses, and pair them with sheer black tights and a pair of booties or closed-toe pumps. (You also can’t go wrong with a velvet maxi.) And don’t be afraid of prints — play with festive plaids and winter florals.

Wedding Guest Jumpsuits
We love the idea of a jumpsuit for a winter wedding, because, let’s be honest: We don’t really want our legs exposed to the frigid winter air. To stay warm and comfortable while looking stylish, seek out long-sleeved, high-neck silhouettes in rich velvets and luxe jersey knits. Keep it sleek in black, or test out trendy burgundy, navy blue, or metallic silver styles.

Wedding Guest Pant Suits & Sets
These days, pantsuits for wedding guests are chicer than ever before, so we want to put these matching separates on your radar. Be playful with metallic, floral, or striped sets that can be worn on their own with a statement necklace, or with a blouse or vest underneath. When the party’s over, rewear the blazers, tops, and trousers together or separately for winter festivities and office days alike.
