Dress Styles for Summer Wedding Guests

Longer Skirts are Timeless
Longer skirts are summer essentials and can be styled to look casual, formal and/or flirty. Ankle-brushing long skirts have cachet this season. They are useful because they work for multiple dress codes making them a great investment. Another plus is that you won’t trip easily when walking and/or dancing in them.
Longer skirts come in a variety of styles from pleated, slip, swooshy, straight and slited, showing off some leg. They come in different fabrics such as silk, crepe, jacquard, denim, tulle and cotton.
Style full skirts with a fitted top. Loose style tops look best with straight skirts. Other tops that can amp up your style are bandeau tops, t-shirts, crop tops, tank tops or a blouse with puff sleeves.
As far as footwear anything goes tennis shoes, flat sandals, sliders/mules, birkenstocks, loafers, pointed-toe heels, chunky black boots. Experiment with a shoe that fits your mood and makes your skirt work.
Pair your ankle brushing skirt with a jean jacket, leather jacket, or a cardigan. A blazer can give a more formal look.
