By now, you're probably well aware that 2022 is the year of the wedding boom. Since wedding season typically spans from May through October, there's a good chance you have quite a few summer nuptials coming up—which means you need great outfits on deck. When it comes to finding the best wedding guest dresses for summer, stiff, heavy fabrics are a no-go. Instead, light and airy maxis or minis with fun prints will be ideal for celebrating in warmer climates. Of course, it can be challenging to find a wedding-appropriate look when you know it's going to be hot or humid outside. (After all, the last thing you want is to sweat through your dress.) Not to worry: As your go-to guide for all things wedding guest fashion, we've rounded up the very best summer wedding guest dresses of 2022, along with the top trends to look for when you shop.
The Top Summer Wedding Guest Dress Trends of 2022
So, what's going to be big during summer 2022? We connected with celebrity fashion stylist Tara Swennen, who shares five major trends that are perfect for summer wedding guest dresses this year. Brush up on what you need to know, then shop our favorite wedding guest dresses for summer below.
Bold Colors and Patterns
Swennen recommends stepping outside your fashion comfort zone by opting for a bright color or a bold print, especially for a summer 2022 wedding. "Everyone is getting back into events after the pandemic, so most people are opting to go a little less traditional and have more fun with fashion," she tells us. "Bright colors and patterns are a really fun and practical choice for the summer."
Sheath Dresses
Don't feel pressured to spend a fortune on your wedding guest wardrobe, especially if you have a lot of upcoming events. Wedding expenses can add up quickly, which is why Swennen suggests savvy shopping (especially with inflation costs hitting hard in 2022). While she recommends shopping at retailers that offer payment plans, like Affirm, she also notes that investing in one great style that can be repurposed across seasons is a good way to maximize your budget. And when it comes to timeless silhouettes, you can't go wrong with a sexy sheath. "Sheath dresses can fit many dress codes and age groups," Swennen says. "Plus, this shape lends itself to bold and bright colors, perfect for summer." For a wedding in June through August, pair your sheath with strappy heels or a formal wedge sandal and your favorite jewelry. Then, to wear it during cooler months, swap your shoes for a classic pump and cover up with a wrap or shawl to give your sheath plenty of life in your closet.
'90s Nostalgia
It's no secret that the '90s are back in a big way, and this is one trend that's perfect for summer wedding guest dresses. "Nineties nostalgia is harkening in fashion these days," Swennen shares, noting that a slip dress is an easy, wedding-appropriate way to channel this trend. "When done in a fun color, a slip dress is a great go-to for guests."
Flirty Minis
If you're headed to a semi-formal or dressy casual summer wedding, Swennen suggests rocking a flirty mini dress that makes you feel your very best. "Younger generations are opting to flaunt their confidence in fashion these days. We'll see a lot of fun and flirty leg-baring pieces that are on the short side. They're perfect for dancing and keeping cool on balmy nights."
Jumpsuits
Don't fret if dresses aren't your thing. Prioritize your comfort without straying from the dress code by opting for a sleek and sophisticated jumpsuit for your next formal summer wedding. "Jumpsuits create a pared-back aesthetic while staying within the dress code," Swennen explains. "Look for elevated fabric, like silk, or details like a fitted waist or a unique neckline with one sleeve or a halter top."

Formal Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer
Although formal wedding guest outfits are often associated with dark colors and heavy fabrics, it's possible to find a comfortable look that's appropriate for summer. Search for lightweight materials, like linen or chiffon, that have longer skirts and elevated details (like a cinched waistline or structured bodice) for a true formal ensemble.

Casual Wedding Guest Dresses for Summer
Not all summer weddings are formal—in fact, if they're taking place at a laid-back location like a barn or a vineyard, the dress code might skew casual. Of course, that doesn't give a free pass to pull out flip-flops and a beach cover-up, as casual summer wedding guest dresses should still have an air of formality to them.
