Can You Wear a Slip Dress as a Wedding Guest?

A slip dress for a wedding guest needs layering and accessories to read as intentional rather than sleepwear. The Trench Coat throws structure over the dress's fluidity, making the combination work for outdoor ceremonies or cocktail receptions, while Ankle Boots ground the silhouette without competing for attention. Add a Silk Scarf or Wool Scarf depending on season, and the outfit reads as finished—polished enough for the occasion without trying to outshine the wedding party.
