"There are all types of weddings, but for most, I would say avoid 'club' type dresses. There is usually a wide range of ages present, and it's a generalization, but sometimes older folks can be a bit more conservative, so best not to draw judgy glances from grandma. If you're looking for something on the more alluring side, pick an outfit that has one area that's a bit more revealing. For example, a maxi dress with cutouts rather than a super-short mini with cutouts."—Collings

"One thing I've seen before is guests who nail the dress code with their clothing, but neglect to level up their accessories too. Picture a person in a cocktail dress with a daytime, more office-appropriate handbag. Each element of your outfit should all be speaking the same language if you will. I know since dressy occasions aren't as frequent, not everyone has a lot of accessory options, but there are affordable picks aplenty."—Collings

"In general, more dressy materials like silk or chiffon are preferred for weddings over casual fabrics like jersey and cotton. I always figure it's better to look a little overdressed than under. There are always exceptions to the rule, but if you go for a more daytime fabric, look for other elements that heighten the formal factor, such as beading, appliqués, and bringing it with your accessories." —Collings

"Denim is almost always a no-go for weddings. If pants are more your thing, consider a pair of dressy trousers or a jumpsuit instead. You'll be comfortable, but still, dress code compliant." —Collings
