Okay, we’ll be honest - choosing a navy wedding guest dress is a certified life hack. Navy blue may just be one of the most versatile shades, meaning you can wear it over and over again, without having a meltdown every time you need to conjure up a brand new outfit for yet another wedding, birthday party or other dress-worthy celebration.
Though typically associated with autumn or winter dressing, a navy frock is the perfect go-to year-round. What's more, the versatility of the colour means it can compliment whatever nuptial theme the couple have decided on, without stealing the limelight. Attending a more boho-style wedding? A green wedding guest dress may be the better choice.
Brands such as Reformation and Reiss are usually your best bet when it comes to finding wedding guest dresses which combine high-quality tailoring with style, while still maintaining an accessible price-point. You'll find that buying dresses from these shops is great if you're looking for pieces that are made to last, that you can enjoy this year and beyond.

Is Navy Suitable For A Wedding Guest Dress?
Navy is a great choice for a wedding guest dress as the majority of wedding cocktail attire calls for navy or charcoal colours. It's an especially good colour for autumn and winter weddings, though as mentioned before, can be worn year-wide.
What Goes With A Navy Wedding Guest Dress?
Warm tones of orange, red and pink boost navy blue outfits, especially for special occasions such as weddings. If you're not looking to stand out from the crowd, maybe opt for a nude or white shoe or bag to accompany your dress, but we recommend refraining from wearing black accessories.
Navy works well in summer if you pair it properly. For instance, opt for vibrant colours that will give your outfit a seasonal, preppy twist. It's a fun, celebratory day, so why not have fun with your outfit?
