If you’re like us (and most other people we know) then you’ve got a few weddings on your calendar this summer — and despite your full closet, nothing to wear.

All eyes will be on the bride, but there's still a lot to consider when picking out a wedding guest dress: You want to look good, but you don’t want to go overboard. You want to rep your own style, but you want to keep the location and vibe of the wedding in mind too. Most importantly, you don’t want to be called out for wearing that same dress you wore to every wedding last year.

It's time to go shopping, and we’re here to help: Take our handy eight-question quiz to narrow down the options and land on the perfect wedding guest look for you. All are on-trend and ready to pull double duty once this wedding is over (i.e., this won’t be a one-time wear). They’re also all available in different price ranges, so whether you’re feeling splurgy or want to spend well under $100, we’ve got you covered.
