Finding the perfect wedding guest dress always seems like a trying task, but trying to find one during the winter is particularly complicated. There's a lot to consider, including what will keep you warm, look good with your coat, and lastly, feel festive enough to coincide with the unavoidable holiday spirit. If this is something you've ever struggled with or are currently struggling with, we're here to help.

There are a handful of particular wedding guest dress styles for winter that always seems to be sure-fire wins during the holiday season, featuring metallic accents, jewel tones, and of course, dresses with long sleeves. Here, we've divided our shopping curation into those three categories so you can seamlessly identify which winter wedding dress style tickles your fancy the most and gets you more than excited for the festivities ahead.

Metallic Accents

Whether you opt for a head-to-toe sequin look or err on the side of caution with subtle metallic accents, the boldness of a crisp shiny hue is perfect for any winter wedding, no matter the dress code. 

Longer Sleeves

This one's a no-brainer: Long-sleeve dresses should be at the top of your shopping list when looking for that perfect winter wedding ensemble. Not only will they actually keep you warm, but they add a level of elegance to your overall look.

Jewel Tones

There's no better time to wear rich jewel-tone dresses than during the winter. Ruby, sapphire, and emerald frocks are sure to match the festive nature of this winter wedding. So before you reach for yet another black dress, think again and consider one of these gemstone-inspired hues instead.
