Is it just me, or is your refrigerator also covered in "Save The Date" invites right now? Whether you're the sister of the bride or a plus one for your girlfriend's colleague's beach wedding, you probably have at least a few summer wedding plans this year.
Once that invite arrives, you're not alone in suddenly being consumed by the thought of what you're going to wear (right after feeling overjoyed for the happy couple, obvi). Considering summer events are often outdoors, it's important to consider the fabric and sleeve length to wear for a hot weather wedding. There are even certain colors you'll want to wear to a summer wedding, like pastels or other bright, playful shades. Of course, just be sure to avoid white. And for Indian weddings, you'll want to avoid red, too—that's the color brides traditionally wear.

Going to a casual backyard wedding? Opt for a lightweight satin slip dress for a carefree, chic vibe. Maybe you've got friends getting hitched at the beach? Expect to get tons of compliments—while feeling super comfortable—when you stroll in wearing a bohemian floral maxi dress.
And, let's face it: weddings are expensive. Yes, of course it's expensive to be the actual couple getting married, but being a guest often involves a hotel stay, gift, and outfit. If you're going to more than a few weddings this summer, I don't blame you for being a bit worried about money. Don't worry, though—this list features dresses that are affordable, as well as some investment pieces that are versatile enough to be worn for years to come.
See below for 25 of the best wedding guest dresses for every style, budget, wedding type, and dress code in 2022.

Best Black Dress
Halter Midi Dress
You may be wondering what color to wear to a summer wedding—most commonly, people wear bright colors and pastels, but you can almost never go wrong with black.

Best Slip Dress
Cowl Slip Midi Dress
Slip dresses are practically a modern day fashion essential. You can wear them with a turtleneck underneath in the winter time, a denim jacket for the fall, and, of course, alone for a summer wedding. Make it formal with some of your favorite jewelry and highest heels, or just some sandals for a casual beach wedding.
Sizes: XS-XL
Length: Midi
12
Best Slit Dress
Off-Shoulder Dress
The best part about this trendy high-slit dress is that it's actually made with a super lightweight, breathable satin for maximum comfort. The classic Cinderella-blue color is perfect for those all-day weddings that start early in the a.m. and go till late at night.
Sizes: 4-12
Length: Long midi
13
Best Long-Sleeve Summer Dress
Ruffle Maxi Dress
Long sleeves in the summer may usually sound like a nightmare, but this dress features billowy chiffon fabric (no pit stains here!), and is made with a super lightweight fabric, so it's great if you prefer some more coverage. Even though it's floral, the muted tone makes it great for either day or night time.
Sizes: XS-L

14
Best Cutout Formal Gown
Tie-Back Cutout Chiffon Gown
Consider this the "business in the front, party in the back" of formalwear. The front presents a classic sweetheart neckline and slit, and the tie-back features a sexy little cutout.
Sizes: 0-18
Length: Maxi
15
Best High-Neck Gown
Asymmetric Satin Cocktail Dress
Chest and neck coverage doesn't always have to come in the form of a thick turtleneck. With a sleeveless asymmetric design, this high-neck gown is just as elegant as it is trendy.
Sizes: XS-XL
Length: Mini
16
Best Formal Dress With Pockets
Satin Beaded Spaghetti Strap A-line Gown
Learning this satin ballgown has pockets might be all you need to know to hit "add to cart". You'll love the beaded spaghetti strap detail and classic a-line silhouette, too.
Sizes: 2-24
Length: Maxi
17
Best Plus-Size Dress
Floral Jacquard Satin Dress
Floral can sometimes be more suitable for day weddings than night ones, but because this dress features the print in lightly embroidered satin, it makes a great night time event option. The button-front and slit details are just the stylish cherries on top.
Sizes: 14-28
Length: Midi
18
Best Indian Wedding Guest Outfit
Banarsi Lehenga
So it's not exactly a dress, but if you have plans to go to a wedding hosted by your South Asian friend, you'll love the opportunity to wear this lehenga made with a traditional banarsi silk fabric. Chances are, you may not wear this one more than once, which is why Preserve was made—it's a rental site featuring well-priced options from designers all over the world. Pro tip: Indian brides traditionally wear red, so it's best to avoid wearing that color!
Sizes: XS-5X
Length: Maxi
19
Best Trendy Summer Dress
Aurora Corset Mini Dress
It takes a bold person to choose a bold style like this one, but you trendsetters out there know if anyone can pull it off, it's you. Pastel hues, corset silhouettes, and off-shoulder necklines are all totally of the moment right now, and this dress combines it all those trends in one.
Sizes: XXS-XL
Length: Mini
20
Best Bustier Dress
Bustier Crepe A-Line Dress
Bustier and corset styles are practically on their way to becoming more popular now than they were in 1500s (and, they're way comfier). The tie straps add a casual touch, and the crepe fabric means it's hot weather-approved, too. It runs a bit small, so be sure to size up one.
Sizes: 0-18
Length: Midi
21
Best Casual Comfy Dress
Sheer Lace Long Sleeve Dress
It's totally fair for comfort to be your priority, and this lacey dress proves you can be totally comfy without sacrificing style. It's basically like wearing a nightgown out in public—the low drop back is a great detail, too.

Length: Maxi
24
Best Vintage Dress
Beaded Mesh Column Gown
I love a good Gatsby-themed wedding, but even if it doesn't have a vintage theme, this beaded style column dress is totally timeless. It comes in five cool, neutral colors.
