May is here, which means that wedding season is officially upon us. If you are going to a wedding (or several) this summer, whether it be for a close friend or distant cousin, chances are you are already trying to figure out what to wear.

If you are shopping, especially for an investment piece, finding a dress to wear to a wedding can be overwhelming. Is the wedding black tie? Black tie optional, cocktail, festive, casual? Is the wedding inside or outside, and what is the theme? Is there a specific color you are supposed to wear? And once you have deciphered all of that information, there is another set of specific wedding rules you have to follow. You can’t wear white, and though you want to look great, you certainly can’t upstage the bride.

No matter what your needs are, we have your back; we’ve put together a list of chic dresses for any wedding occasion.
