We’ve all been there: you receive a wedding invitation, you see the dress code, and you think to yourself, “What am I going to wear?” You mull about it, and look at the outfits you have in your wardrobe. More often that not, there’s a handful of go-to options you have for weddings, but you don’t want your friends to see you in the same outfit more than twice! Here are some stylish and versatile options that you can wear not only at weddings, but for work and the weekends. Let your fashion choices work hard for you; don’t spend extra money buying an outfit just for a wedding after having to pack a generous ang pow.

A midi-length dress is versatile enough for daytime or evening celebrations, while the artistic print makes it wearable for the office or for the weekend.

The graphic print and pleats make this dress fun and fabulous enough to wear for date night.

Received an invitation to a polished restaurant or ballroom (just be sure the dress code isn’t black or white tie) celebration? This elegant lace dress in a refined maroon hue, cold shoulder design and flared skirt is ideal.

A jewel-toned slip dress is always a good idea. Wear it with heels, or throw over a denim jacket for more casual vibes.

Covered-up and sharp enough for a boardroom meeting, all you have to do is throw on glittery accessories to make it work as a wedding guest outfit. 

Floral pinks, a powdery pink hue and ruffles make for a sweet date night dress – with a curve-hugging silhouette to spice things up.

A silky wrap blouse and wide legged pants don’t just make for a stylish combination, they can be styled and worn individually after the occasion.

The cut-out detailing ensures this isn’t your standard office shift dress, and elegant for after-work drinks. Before wedding it to a wedding, make sure the bride and groom are OK with the black hue, as superstitious couples may see it as bad luck. Or jazz it up with colourful accents. 

A lady-like floral dress with romantic ruffles is ideal for daytime weddings and great for brunch with the girls.

For chic simplicity, this classic chiffon dress with a V-neck and back is lovely. We’d don this for a garden wedding (we love our lightweight layers) or dressed up with sparkling jewellery for an elegant soiree.
