We're Loving These Nontraditional Pieces For a Chic Wedding Season

This fantastic magenta blazer ($60, originally $120) is the perfect warm-weather wedding topper. Pop it over a magenta dress for a monochromatic vibe, or pair it with a matching miniskirt ($35, originally $70) for a look inspired by '90s fashion. If you're worried the look isn't quite formal enough, dress it up with accessories. Go for stilettos and a funky necklace or crystal-embossed headbands. A bold lip goes a long way, too.

Jumpsuits are an excellent cocktail-dress alternative. This long-sleeve jumpsuit by Mac Duggal ($358) is all glam, with puffed shoulders, a deep V-neck, and a cinched waistline. It's as dramatic as it is sophisticated — all you'll need is a pair of sandals and maybe some glittery studs, and you'll be good to go.

We love a billowy maxi skirt for warm-weather weddings. This ethereal Zimmerman maxi ($995) is flattering and eye-catching, whether you wear it with an airy blouse or a fitted crop top. Since it reaches the floor, you can pair it with some wedged espadrilles or flats for a very comfortable evening on the dance floor.

While pencil skirts are usually relegated to the office, they can be worn to less formal wedding events. The trick is to accessorize — and accessorize big. Take this belted pencil skirt ($40, originally $80) — we'd remove the belt and replace it with something metallic or sparkly. Put on a fitted top that you can tuck in, perhaps with puff-sleeves; a crop top would work, too. Add some fun jewelry and your favorite heels, and you'll be wedding ready in no time.

Flirty, but still sophisticated, a crop top and skirt set makes for an excellent wedding day outfit. This set from Black Halo ($166, originally $415) shows just a tiny bit of skin, with a boxy, shoulder-baring crop top and a midi skirt with a fashion-forward inverted pleat. We love that you can wear this together or separately. An outfit that works double-time? We're here for it.

Let's wear more suits to weddings — such as this silky shorts suit from Alice & Olivia. The stunning color pairs well with gold jewelry and nude heels, and it'll turn heads wherever you wear it. You can just pick up the shorts ($225) and wear it with a blouse or get the matching blazer ($495). Either way, you'll stun in all your orange glory.

If you find long-sleeve jumpsuits a bit constricting, try this velvet halter jumpsuit ($60, originally $120) instead. It offers the same easy-to-throw-on convenience with a little extra shoulder. This shape is easy to dress up and down — you can wear it to your next wedding or to dinner with a blazer and flats. It's multipurpose and chic.

This tiered fringed mini skirt ($675) is made for twirling on the dance floor. Wear it with a fitted top or a cool blouse and elongate the look with a pair of sky-high heels (or go for comfort with some pointed flats). This skirt's versatility is endless — it'll become a staple in your wedding-outfit rotation.
