It’s wedding season…times 10.  RSVPing is easy, but trying to find stunning fall wedding guest dresses before they’re all sold out? That’s almost impossible. If you’re panicking and realizing that you’re basically living the life of Jane Nichols from 27 Dresses—minus the bridesmaid status—I’ve got you covered.

Finding an *actually* stylish dress to wear to a wedding without looking like you’re in the wedding party is so difficult. You don’t want to end up with a closet full of dresses you kind of hate and won’t ever wear again! Luckily, I am going to two weddings this fall, so I’ve selfishly decided to write this story to do research on the clock. It benefits us both!

Fall can be tricky because those cute pastels you’ve been seeing all over TikTok aren’t really going to fly in October. I know that a person can only wear rust or emerald so many times, which is why I tried to expand the fall color palette and find some more interesting options if you’re attending multiple weddings.

I found 14 picks for you in a variety of styles and colors from everywhere. But unlike poor Jane and her collection of hideous bridesmaids’ dresses, these gowns are full-on grid-worthy. There aren’t any scuba or cowgirl dresses in this round-up, I swear!

Scroll on to find some gowns you can actually wear to all your upcoming fall soirees. Talk about a win-win.

• Gradient Dress

  

  Play into the color palette of fall leaves with this multi-color gradient dress. Pair it with a pair of brown leather strappy heels for a ’90s-inspired look.

• One-Shoulder Pleated Dress

  

  This pleated dress comes in four beautiful fall colors but I’m partial to this emerald green. Plus, a one-shoulder dress always gives you an opportunity to wear a pair of statement earrings.

• Off-The-Shoulder Dress

  

  This off-the-shoulder dress is a great option for a black-tie wedding. The olive tone at the hemline tones down the brightness of the other gradient green colors and the long sleeves contrast nicely against the exposed neckline.

• Puzzle Gown

  

  A black dress is always an elegant choice for a wedding. I love the slit and scalloped neckline on this one by Amanda Uprichard. The details elevate an otherwise simple look.

• Purple Satin Dress

  

  I had to include a picture of the back of this dress because it is so delicate and beautiful. The fluttery sleeves have a cape-like appearance that will make your whole look so elegant.

• Printed Slip Dress

  

  When in doubt, a slip dress is a good move. Slip dresses work for basically any dress code and always give off the air of being understatedly chic.

• Ruffle Tiered Maxi Dress

  

  This tiered maxi dress gets rave reviews on Abercrombie’s site and comes in four different color options (which include two floral patterns). The silhouette can be dressed up or down with accessories which makes it a great option to have ready in your closet.

• Frankie Silk Dress

  

  Purple is on track to be one of the most popular colors this fall which is excellent news because it looks amazing on everyone. This floral option from Reformation is perfect.

• Layered Maxi Dress

  

  If you’re headed to a fall wedding in a more tropical location (or at a beach venue) you’ll be best dressed in this tiered number from Farm Rio. It’s playful while still being formal and will move with you on the dance floor.

• Brown Slip Dress

  

  I actually just wore this brown slip dress to a fancy dinner and received so many compliments! The material is super comfortable and you’ll be able to style this dress in lots of different ways after the wedding.

• Long Sleeve Column Gown

  

  This dress has beautiful billowy sleeves but my favorite part is the open-back detail. It’s available in five colors and is available in up to a size 12.

• Character Midi Dress

  

  The high-low asymmetrical hem of this dress gives it a high-fashion feel. Pair it with an olive green clutch for a fall color accent.

• Silk Halter Midi Dress

  

  A halter dress is always a chic option. This one from Anthropologie would work well for a more casual wedding since it has a shorter hemline. It’s also available in a blue pattern.

• Green Cowl Neck Dress

  

  If you’re drawn to minimalist slip dresses, this green number will help you stand out while still being in your comfort zone. I love the tone-on-tone belt and how it accentuates the waistline of the dress.
