What should I wear to a wedding?

by LAURA MCGUIRE

You get a wedding invitation from a dear friend in the mail and plan on replying "joyfully accepts!" until the idea of what to wear gets you down.

I struggle with what to wear on a daily basis, even with a sea of clothing in my closet, but picking out wedding attire has never been easier with these tips and tricks. Whether the wedding is formal or semi-casual, a not-overly-ornate silk or silk-like dress will look perfectly in place (choose cotton for casual). If the event falls during the fall or winter months, consider a pashmina opposed to a cardigan for a formal wedding. Heels look smart for indoor weddings and ballet flats or wedges work best for grassy, outdoor weddings. During any season, your Hipstik Sheers will make your amazing legs even more amazing!

Anything you’d add to this list? What are your wedding guest essentials?

A silk or silk-like dress with fun print like the Pintuck Shift Dress from the Banana Republic.
A light-weight cardigan for cool evenings like this Brooks Brothers Light Weight Cardigan
For silky smooth legs with the comfort to dance the night away get a pair of Hipstik Sheer Pantyhose
As stylish as it is comfortable, The Telsa D’Orsay Pump from Sam Edelman is the perfect heel.
Pick something easy and lightweight with room to stash your keys and phone. J. Crew Medium Pouch in metallic Italian leather
