‘Tis the season for fun, festivities and winter nuptials – and, as such, there's a need for the best winter wedding guest dresses. Finding said ‘fit, though, i.e. something that's the perfect mix of magical, modest and show-stopping (but not attention-stealing), can prove a challenge.
Do you want long sleeves or are you planning on wearing a little jacket? Are you embracing a full-skirted mini with tights or going for a floor-sweeping maxi? There are sequins, tulle, velvet and organza to consider and play around with, all while keeping the classic rules of what not to wear in mind. Outshining the bride is a no-no, but you want to feel good in celebrating her.
Reader, fret not; we’ve put together GLAMOUR's guide to the best winter wedding guest dresses. A world apart from your summer wedding guest dress (and probably even your autumn wedding guest dress), the looks for your winter nuptials need to be both practical yet uber glam. We’re looking to keep toasty during the ceremony, unrestricted so we’re not posing awkwardly in photos, all while embracing the glitz and sparkle of the festive season.
From stalwart high-street clothing stores such as ASOS, Warehouse and Karen Millen, to designer brands like Self-Portrait, Zimmermann and Rixo, we’ve found an array of Instagram-worthy gowns that will stand out both on your feed and IRL. And if you’re not one for occasion dresses, you could always turn your attention to alternative wedding guest outfits (think trouser suits, midi skirts, statement blazers) or wedding guest jumpsuits.
