Weddings are most popular in the warmer months. This year, however, you probably haven’t exhausted all your options for dressing up. This summer was different than any other, with many outdoor weddings and intimate ones at home. Even though there is likely to be more social events this year, it can be difficult to dress for events in the cold. Layers, sleeves, longer lengths and richer fabrics are all good options for styling winter wedding guests from head to toe.

You can embrace jewel tones, velvets and heavily embroidered looks, from slinky dresses to elegant cocktail dresses. These 12 stylish looks will make you feel like the most fashionable guest at a winter wedding.

#1 Black Tie

Asymmetrical silhouettes can elevate a black dress. Add some shine to your look by adding unique touches. This look will be modern and sleek with geometric accents.

#2 Think Pink

White is not recommended unless the bride requests it. However, a blush or light pink look can be chic for formal events. Wear a springtime color from head to foot and combine it with soft textures to create a look that is similar to winter white without the bridal vibes. We are confident that this look is elegant and understated, but with a lot of edge.

An LBD is timeless, but you can be creative with holiday party dressing. For example, a red look that feels festive and ultra-feminine, or borderline boho, might work.

#12 Elegant Edge

Flawless frocks look great for daytime and classic black tie gowns work well for evening. But a guest who is more adventurous with her style needs to dress outside the box. For a touch of 1980s inspiration, consider adding puff sleeves or shoulder pads, velvet, and built in jewelry. A little bit of metallic embellishment, studded details and an animal print (a la the snakeskin clutch), can transform a basic cocktail look into something truly special.
