THE BEST UNDER-$500 WEDDING GUEST DRESSES FOR THE SEASON AHEAD
You’ve saved the date – now, you need to shop for a dress.
There’s something about spring and summer that makes wedding-guest dressing easier – at least for me. (I find dressing in general easier during those seasons, to be honest.) Fall weddings, on the other hand, are slightly trickier. It requires more planning ahead, more thinking. Good news: I’ve done the heavy-lifting and put together a hit list here with my favorite guest-of dresses for the season ahead. Bonus: every single one rings in at under $500.
From cocktail midis to floor-grazing black-tie gowns, the list below covers it all. Now, let’s go shopping.

STAUD DELPHINE DRESS
With metal discs and bodice cut-outs, this floor-length Staud number is a show-stopper. I love the chocolate brown hue, too. Bonus: this one is easy to dress up or down – year-round!. Wear it with sky-high heels now and then, come summer, throw it on with a pair of simple leather sandals.

SELF-PORTRAIT CRYSTAL-EMBELLISHED GOWN
You’ll (almost) steal the show in this floor-grazing number from Self-Portrait. With crystal embellishments that hit the light just right, it was made for the dance floor.
SHOP
STINE GOYA ANNY DRESS
This midi gives you the option to dress it up or down to suit the evening’s dress code. The stretch jacquard material adds such an elegant touch of shine.
SHOP
SOLACE LONDON LANA ONE-SHOULDER DRESS
If black-tie is the dress code, consider this one-shoulder number. The silhouette is timeless (and so flattering!) and that color, well, it’s just too good. Finish off the look with simple jewels and a pair of heels.
SHOP
E.STOTT MILA CADY MIDI DRESS
Talk about a two-for-one: this dress features detachable sleeves, giving you the option for two different looks. The color is so good, too.
SHOP
GANNI BLUE SHINY TAFFETA DRESS
I ordered this midnight-blue number on a whim and so glad I did. It’s perfectly simple and perfectly chic.
