Now that we’re in June, it’s possible you’re getting slightly exhausted by the amount of references to wedding guest outfits you’ve undoubtedly seen since spring began. It’s true that I’m about to make yet another but please do trust me when I say that this is one to which it’s worth paying attention. Not only am I about to reveal some of the very best wedding guest outfits I’ve found on the high street, but it’s fair to say that some of your favourite stylish celebrities are already fans.
Reiss is renowned for its contemporary take on classic wardrobe pieces, designed with modern women in mind. Whether its expertly crafted tailoring, incredible dresses or hard-working everyday staples, the British label knows how to create clothes we really want to wear. It’s hardly a surprise, then, that it’s in the wardrobes of a diverse range of well-dressed women. The A-list consistently chooses Reiss’s structured jumpsuits, impeccable suits and great knitwear for public events where they clearly want to feel their very best.
In many ways, that’s exactly how we all approach getting dressed for weddings; we just want to feel like the best version of ourselves. It’s helpful, then, that Reiss’s spring/summer collection for 2025 has some of the most scene-stealing pieces you’ll find this year, from elegant gowns to sharply tailored two pieces. These clothes traverse the sartorial spectrum, at one moment evoking a sense of old Hollywood glamour in the form of floor-sweeping jewel toned silk, the next offering a chic trouser suit in a glorious candy pink. Bias cut slip dresses are made for a beach wedding, while a teal satin jumpsuit will make a bold statement at a city function. Of course, these pieces aren’t to be kept just for weddings, they’ll see you through the best days of summer, too – whatever your plans.
It's the brand chosen by some of the most photographed women in the world, so it makes sense that Reiss would have your occasion wardrobe in the bag. It isn’t hard to feel like your best self – your outfit is waiting for you at Reiss.
