Beach wedding

Sun, sea and sand—one of the best wedding settings for a guest. A beach wedding calls for a more relaxed fit, so opt for a floaty dress or airy matching set to see you through. Tropical locales also give you the chance to play with color, so don’t be afraid to embrace maximalist tones.

Black tie

A sophisticated wedding demands a supremely elegant outfit. Start with a gown that shimmers in the light and boasts a carefully crafted silhouette, and style it with diamond-adorned jewelry. Finish with a pair of stilettos—Jimmy Choo, of course.
