The 2025 Wedding Guest Outfits to Try This Spring/Summer

I don’t know about you, but the start of the new year and the drudgery of January and/or February always leads me to think about what fun and frolics we have to come in the upcoming summer months. And for me, that means two things, the summer holidays and the wedding season. Both of which require a fun and sometimes overlapping wardrobe.

But what are the 2025 wedding guest outfits trends providing food for thought this year? Wedding guest outfit shopping used to lead you down a narrow and somewhat samey path of pastels, frills and occasion wear shops. But, no more! Now you can wear whatever you want to a wedding. I mean, within reason, of course. Depending on the wedding, the colour of the bridal outfit will remain firmly off the table for obvious reasons. Plus, it’s wise to think about how sexy is appropriate for the wedding you’re attending. Maybe don’t go full sheer at the church. Or, any part of the wedding, unless you’re the bride and you’re going for sassy. Leaning into your usual style and the current trends, however, is always a good idea.

Not only will this lead to a more succinct wedding guest outfit choice, but you will be less likely to end up with something you don’t get to wear again. Your chosen wedding guest outfit often has to work quite hard, taking you from the ceremony to the reception, to the dancefloor. So it needs to be good. Multi-tasking, comfortable, but fabulous, Got it. If you’re in need of some inspiration, here are 10 spring/summer trend-inspired 2025 wedding guest outfits to consider this year…
