At this point in wedding season, you probably can't see yourself investing in a dress you'll never wear again. And you don't have to, since we found four different pieces — including a flouncy and feminine set, two gorgeous dresses, and a sleek jumpsuit — that work for multiple occasions.
All it takes are a few accessories to completely transform your look. So whether you're headed to an afternoon ceremony on the beach or a swanky nighttime party, collect the appropriate accoutrements and call yourself best dressed. That is, next to the bride.
Ahead, four standout designs and two ways to wear each of them. While you'll find the daytime outfit on the left and the evening ensemble on the right, no one's saying you can't mix and match as you see fit. On that note, it's time to get fancy.
