With many people embracing a calendar full of upcoming nuptials after two years of cancellations and postponements, there’s a lot to be said about 2022 being the year of the wedding. A season filled with plans deserves a wardrobe to match, and there’s nothing quite like the midi dress as a simple-yet-elevated design that creates an instant outfit, with the freedom to consider finishing touches that speak to your signature style.

Not only is it arguably the most popular dress shape for wedding outfits, the midi dress is also a timeless wardrobe addition, with year-on-year appeal. Whether your 2022 wedding guest outfit plans include an enviable trip to a beach destination, a particular colour or print, or simply are perusing for inspiration, discover the ultimate KM guide to the best midi ten dress styles for weddings.

Best Satin Midi Wedding Guest Dress

Sumptuously soft, satin is the epitome of effortless luxury. In a multitude of variations, be it a more versatile relaxed midi dress enhanced with powerful oversized sleeves and subtle flourishes like a slit in the skirt, allow the premium detail of the fabric to speak for itself. A material that pops in atramentous darker hues of navy and noir, neutral, rich hues of champagne and peach or contemporary, brighter shades that speak to the optimism of the day. When it comes to accessorising your satin investment, think pared back, understated-yet-quality pieces that compliment the quality of the stain design – rather than overshadowing it.

Avoid being constrained to muted tones and allow the opportunity of the bright summer weather to invite bold, fun prints to your wedding guest outfits. A sultry animal print in leopard or zebra is perfect for an evening event, whereas a more abstract design invites confidence and radiates the joyful sentiments of the wedding. If your preference is for a more subtle style, a contemporary chain design is a more premium style that allows for an elevated experimentation with print, or a more timeless offering is a signature stripe design.

Printed Midi Dresses

Whilst the warmer months provide an opportunity to experiment with shorter sleeves, sleeveless dresses and halter neck dresses, the perfect long sleeve style can also have a place when it comes to finding the best midi dresses for weddings. Plus, many have seasonless appeal, making it an investment to be enjoyed throughout the year. For this, consider a classic, timeless design in a versatile print or plain style. This more varied style can also be dressed up or down for different occasions, changing up stiletto sandals for knee high boots or flat shoes as a more casual approach.

If in search of a particular fabric, look to jersey for premium comfort – perfect for an event that is set to last throughout the daytime and evening.

The most enviable of wedding locations is the beach, and this different space creates opportunity to nod to a more bohemian aesthetic and casual pieces. Look to a floaty midi dress – despite the warmer temperature there’s still opportunity to wear long sleeves, instead look to a looser fit to allow your skin to breathe.

Crochet is a key trend for this year, and whilst perhaps not the most appropriate option for a traditional ceremony, a beach wedding is the perfect opportunity to try a crochet knit dress – the epitome of haute summer outfitting. Complete with espadrille sandals for the full effect.

If a dress isn’t your preference, there’s other styles to consider as a refined outfitting alternative. Be it an elegant trouser suit – nod to tradition with a fitted, tailored ensemble, or consider a more contemporary take with an ‘Anti-Fit’ oversized design – also consider a jumpsuit, be it a feminine style or impactful wide leg piece. Separates such as a skirt and a top are also a suitable wedding outfit, be it two styles that create the illusion as one, or a considered, complimentary combination.
