It’s wedding season! Absolutely the best time to update your wardrobe with new dresses. The big question, though, is what to wear with depending on the event type.
In this day and age many weddings have gone the casual, but not too casual, route. There are, however, a few diamonds in the rough that grace the formal theme. When invited to an event with a not-so-familiar dress code it’s hard to know what to wear. From shopping online sales to scouring the formal dress section at Macy’s, finding the perfect dress (or tux) may seem hopeless with no dress code background. Luckily, The Black Tux, an online suit and tuxedo rental site, broke it down by event type (it’s about time somebody did!).
Will you be attending a wedding soon as a guest? Make sure to follow the above guide for easy shopping! And, if your date is looking for an easy suit or tux rental – let’s be real, guys will wait until the last minute to find something – The Black Tux offers the perfect fit and free shipping!
At a recent family wedding I sported the casual look, a light yellow boho floral dress from Rebecca Minkoff with the absolute best pair of heels from A New Day at Target (I swear by them for any occasion). The dress was love at first sight and the idea of being able to wear it again for work or a drink out with the girls was a hands down win. Shopping for a formal wedding, however, was a different beast. Should I get something short or long? Are embellishments too much? I was so worried about type of dress would be the perfect style when I should have just gone with what I loved and would wear again. After hours of searching, I went with the most beautiful rose gold floor length gown that made me feel like Megan Markle.


Tis’ the season to newlyweds!
I’m definitely saving this for when I have to go shopping for my brother’s wedding!

Dress codes are such a pain especially when no one dresses up any more. I always go for slightly more than requested and ALWAYS something I can wear again

Thanks for the great article! It’s always confusing trying to figure out what you’re supposed to wear.

That is a good list. I feel an immediate rush of excitement and intimidation when I get an invite, over what I’d wear. The good part is it is a good excuse to buy something. Nice dress and wow nice shoes from Target!
