43 wedding guest dresses you'll definitely want to wear again (and again and again) (1)

Ah, the ever-perplexing question: what to wear to a wedding when you are a guest? We know, you don't wanna risk upstaging the bride, but you're still keen to look FAB. Understandable. Our tips are as follows: don't wear white (obvs), and don't leave it until the last minute – or you'll risk turning up in your dodgy old prom dress.

Throw today's smart/casual climate into the mix and things get even more confusing. Depending on when the event is, it could be an intimate guest list, or a serious 100-people-plus knees up. It's also worth thinking about longevity; you don't want a one-hit-wonder hanging in your wardrobe for the next decade. It's a waste of money, and not great for the environment either. So, go on, play it safe dress code-wise and be a sustainable sister by shopping for outfits you know you'll wear again (and again, and again...).

The good news is, fashion's current penchant for flowing midi dresses means you're bound to find a hero piece that will look just as good with strappy stilettos as it will with knee-high boots. Don't know where to begin? We're on-hand with 43 different wedding guest dresses that are both beautiful and oh-so-versatile.
