Best spring wedding guest dresses

The key to finding the perfect spring wedding guest dress is picking something elevated, but true to your sense of style. Like to show off your body? A silky slip or a strapless maxi in one of spring’s sweetest pastels is your ticket. Prefer to go a little more classic or modest? One of these A-line beauties (including Staud’s light-green bestseller) fits the bill. And better yet, with the right styling, these dresses should be able to see you through most dress codes. Just throw on dainty jewelry, metallic slingbacks, and an itty-bitty bag—and keep a fitted blazer on hand in case you get too chilly.

Best spring midi-dresses

Midis were practically made for spring; they’re just the right length to help you catch a warm breeze without making you freeze when it suddenly turns cold. Plus, they’re great for weddings, considering they’re easy to sit in, show off your shoes, and won’t drag over the lawn at outdoor ceremonies. Whether your style leans casual or high-minded, these just-in dresses have all the makings of hero pieces.

Best spring maxidresses

As excited as you may be to get dressed for a new season, it can still get chilly out there, so split the difference with long, leg-covering dresses in spring-friendly fabrics like cotton and linen. If you get too cold, throw a layer over your sleeveless pick; if you get too warm, just let the breeze flow through your skirt. Best of both worlds, right?
