When the search for a wedding guest dress is overwhelming at first, waiting until the last minute to search for one can be pure chaos. If you’re just starting to look for a fall wedding outfit on your calendar, the good news is that you have options. Fall weddings offer far more fashion flexibility than is given credit for. Fluctuating temperatures mean you can bend the rules a bit in terms of materials, color palettes and lengths (depending on your clothing direction). And while rich jewel tones remain a timeless choice, the influx of bright hues from the Fall 2022 runways has brought all sorts of options this season.
To save you the hassle of finding a fall wedding guest dress, ELLE.com has trawled through literally thousands of dresses online and compiled a list of dress ideas for every budget, height and level of formality. Ahead, our favorite fall wedding guest dresses to shop right now.
