Got a Destination Wedding to Attend? Here’s What to Wear

City weddings: at museums, regal old banks, on rooftops, and on piers. They're as common as they are sartorially mystifying. If it's an afternoon affair, try this lovely back-bow midi dress ($77, originally $110) with an elegant shoulder-line and billowy skirt. Or for a more formal evening event, go bold with a silky jumpsuit ($395) paired with embellished heels ($995).

Need to meet somewhere in the middle? You can't go wrong with this feminine lace midi ($525), complete with a flattering shape and square neckline (perfect for a chunky necklace ($25, originally $50).

If you're going to be spending the wedding outdoors or in a beautiful barn in a quaint town, focus on florals, whether you go for a maxi or midi dress or even a jumpsuit. We love this long-sleeve number ($35, originally $70) for chillier evenings and this romantic little tie-front dress ($345) for daytime affairs. As for your feet, you'll want something a little more comfortable than a super-tall stiletto, which is why we recommend going with an espadrille ($625) for some height without compromising walking ability.

No matter what you wear, be sure to be prepared with a pair of sunglasses ($15, originally $40). They'll come in handy and be the envy of other guests who forgot that beautiful wedding weather means bright sunshine.

A wedding on a tropical isle means you get to wear your brightest, most vibrant colors and patterns. Keep things breezy and light with this pleated midi ($84, originally $140) in passion punch or go wild with this eye-catching off-the-shoulder dress ($528) with puff sleeves and hypnotic florals. Jewelry should be fun too: hoop earrings or a set of bangles ($20, originally $40). And for your dancing shoes: something strappy and playful, like these sandals ($400) set on a bamboo heel.

Normally, City Hall weddings can be pretty casual. While you don't need to dress up, you'll certainly want to look nice, which is why we recommend a classic silk midi dress ($55, originally $110) that you might wear to work or out to dinner. Keep it simple (since you don't need to be the center of attention) and make sure accessories are minimal, like simple studs ($15, originally $30) for jewelry and a chic pair of sandals ($450) that you don't mind standing around in. Polished and professional is the name of the game at City Hall. Just don't forget the tissues.
