With so many seasonal dresses in stores and online, it can be overwhelming to choose what to wear to a winter wedding. As the temperature cools down, it's important to look for an outfit that's both stylish and weather-appropriate. Given the time of year, winter wedding guest attire often includes dark hues, rich fabrics and longer sleeves. But there are other things to consider when choosing a winter wedding guest dress, like the formality of the affair, your budget and your taste. No matter your personal style or that of the wedding—from black tie to dressy casual —we've taken the guesswork out of deciding what to wear to a winter wedding. Here, we've rounded up the best winter wedding guest dresses on the market, as well as our top tips for narrowing down your outfit search.

What to Wear to a Winter Wedding

Before you start shopping, it's important to know the etiquette behind what to wear to a winter wedding. Winter wedding outfits should be fit for the occasion—the weather and the dress code of the event should both help dictate what you wear. An upscale evening winter wedding will require a formal outfit, while a casual look is acceptable for a less formal daytime event.

When browsing winter wedding guest dresses, don't forget to shop practically. While you might want to wear a slinky mini dress or an off-the-shoulder gown, consider how the weather might affect your fashion choices. A cozy wrap or shawl can easily winterize a look while keeping you warm, so consider investing in a coverup for all of your winter events. Fabric and color are also two important components of your winter wedding guest outfit. Deep jewel tones and rich fabrics like velvet and satin are great choices for weddings in cooler months. And when it comes to length, more fabric may help you stay warm, but don't count out sleeveless outfits altogether. If you love to spend time on the dance floor or mingling with other guests, you might be more comfortable in a short-sleeve or sleeveless option.

To help you find a great winter wedding guest outfit, we've rounded up our favorite styles on the market. Keep reading to find our favorite winter wedding guest dresses, from formal gowns to casual frocks and trendy jumpsuits.
