DRESS TO IMPRESS
Our Top Summer Wedding Picks
June is the height of the summer wedding season, and for those of us of a certain age, that means multiple weekends spent toasting our nearest and dearest and an exponentially increased need for cute dresses! Here, our favorite picks for every wedding (or party) on your social calendar:
1. A more formal event calls for a longer silhouette and the elegance of silk chiffon. This classic J. Crew gown ($350, jcrew.com) with a structured bodice and flowing pleated skirt is available in a multitude of colors and a wide range of sizes.
2. No one will mistake you for a wallflower in this cotton tulip-skirt dress by Zara ($119, Zara.com). Make a bold statement at your next garden wedding with a structured silhouette and colorful floral pattern.
3. The Nina silk dress from Aritzia ($155, Aritzia.com) is a great option for a casual beach wedding, where comfort and keeping cool are key. With its breezy fit and bold color, it can even double as a summer date-night staple!
4. For a smaller brunch or city hall wedding, we recommend this understated Doo.ri printed-silk dress ($718US, lagarconne.com) with matching belt. Consider the abstract pattern and square neckline a timeless investment.
5. For weddings you may have to attend solo, or one where, gasp, you run into your ex-flame and his new whatever…plan to look stunning in this Alice + Olivia draped silk-crepe number ($370US, net-a-porter.com). We love the subtle asymmetric details and figure-flattering cut.
