While wedding season is technically all year long, there’s no doubt that it peaks in spring and summer. If you’ve submitted the RSVP for an upcoming wedding, it’s time to start thinking about what you’re wearing.
A wedding guest dress is naturally of utmost importance, but Birdy Grey founder Grace Lee Chen says to not overlook this one accessory trend when attempting to elevate your look.
TLDR: it’s a scarf.
While scarves in evening wear and wedding attire rose in popularity during 2024, Chen says that “the trend is truly at its peak and most ubiquitous right now.”
It’s an easy way for brides, bridesmaids and wedding guests alike to “make their attire more special and unique,” says Chen. “A scarf delivers that in such a versatile way—from a 90s choker moment to a nonchalant toss around the shoulders.”
For less than $20, Chen says, “This one accessory has the power to turn an average look to one that’s stylish and of-the-moment.”
While the right accessories can instantly elevate any look, Chen says it’s all about the dress these days. She notes several wedding guest trends, including 90s-inspired slip dresses, bold fruity shades, “pale pastels like blues and pinks,” and unexpected silhouettes.
