Surprise—it’s the summer that everyone you know decided to make their relationship your problem. Send a rose to your Hinge match of choice and pray they’re free to make it as your +1. You’re in a pinch to celebrate a lifelong, possibly prenup-ed commitment amongst friends, film cameras, and champagne. Will you be having the chicken or the fish?

As the old adage goes, something old, something new, something borrowed, and something shirred from Conner Ives makes you the best-dressed wedding guest of the season. The SSENSE Exclusive Yellow Shirred T-shirt Midi Dress is a tasteful and modern approach to eveningwear, in a charming buttercup yellow. If you require a bit more drama, the plunging Green Rose Decoration Maxi Dress from Blumarine offers romance and ruffles in a pleasant hue of lettuce green. The reign of heels is over, and the chicest wedding attendees opt for a slipper or flat. The Black Aline Mesh Mary-Jane Heels from AEYDE will keep you comfy and cute in buffed nappa leather. Complete your look with a little bling: the Cardinal earrings from MONDO MONDO put the holy back in holy matrimony.
In menswear, unique cuts make for the best wedding looks in a pinch. Check out the Black Slashed Blazer from Lu’u Dan for a flattering cropped silhouette. The Navy Oversize Split Blazer from Ottolinger reimagines the classic pinstripe with an eye-catching curved slit in front. In footwear, reimagine dress shoes with texture and graphic appliques. The Black Clarks Edition Classic Derbys from Martine Rose enliven a classic eveningwear staple with the rough texture of embossed crocodile and an unfinished seam. The Black Star Square Toe Derbys from Stefan Cooke offer a Bowie-esque glamour to your rock ’n’ roll reception look. Accessorize with details that show off some personality. Test your luck with ‘The Dice’ Earrings from VEERT in stunning 18k gold vermeil. Glisten and sparkle with the ‘The Royal Signet’ Ring also from VEERT, with its opulent prong-set green onyx stone and freshwater pearls. The tie is always the most crucial finishing touch. Consider the Brown Polka-Dot Tie from Drake’s: reliable, timeless, and just the right amount of fun.
