Weekend Wardrobe 101: Summer Party Dresses

a wedding dining table

So you’re invited to a wedding. And your bestie’s Sweet 16 is next weekend. And, oh that’s right, brunch with the girls this Sunday at that cute breakfast spot that just opened up. Omg. Summer’s fun and all, but keeping up with plans can be more exhausting than keeping up with the Kardashians. Whether an unexpected invite popped up or there’s more dots on your phone calendar than you realized, we rounded up a bunch of cute party dresses so your always RSVP-ready. No stress, just well-dressed? That’s you.

The invite: Bridal Shower


Honor the bride-to-be in a style that’s feminine and sweet. Try a textured floral asymmetical one shoulder or adorable short sleeve fit for a picture-perfect presence.

The invite: Summer Wedding


Black tie reception? A long evening dress is in order. When shopping, keep fabric in mind; a crepe style like this red dress is stretchy and oh so sexy. Or, opt for a breathable, semi open back style like this flowing blue gown. RSVP: chic.

The invite: Sweet 16


A blowout Sweet 16 bash- you know, in a fancy venue with a candle lighting ceremony-calls for a fun, shiny ‘lil number. Look for a fit and flare dress with a satin or glitter finish, like one of these festive styles!

The invite: Sunday Brunch


No need to stress Sunday morning’s outfit; simply slip on one of these cute day dresses and head out! Easy silhouettes keep you comfy, yet chic during chatter over pancakes and French toast.
