Arguably even more confusing is figuring out what to wear to a wedding reception. If you’re only attending half the day, can you make half the effort?

Dress the Population Sharon Gown
Black wedding dresses are becoming increasingly common, and so there are both larger retailers and specific designers that have some great options. Some you could try IRL, others you'd go in-store or order sample gowns to try-on. “There is a temptation for men when attending a wedding reception to wear ‘fancy’ clothes they wouldn’t normally wear,” says Modoo. It’s a look that’s more suburban estate agent than refined wedding guest.” Dress up, for sure.

This classy full skirt gown has a sultry and sweet look to balance out your wedding day beauty. You also get free shipping if you order it online, but you can always try it on in-stores if you prefer the more personal experience. We love this bride's approach to reception style—she wore a BHLDN camisole with a feathered Carol Hannah skirt. Choosing separates meant she could more easily wear both pieces again.
Consider a racer-back wedding dress (like this one, by Marchesa!) for the latter half of your big day—the sporty cut allows you to move without restraint. When it came time for her reception, this radiant bride slipped into a long-sleeve dress by Needle and Thread. Nigerian seamstress Glory Ojei of Bespoke By Glory designed the dress.

And secondly, its design mimics the flowing look of a skirt, so it’s practically dress adjacent. When you arrive to the party, do a little twirl to show off your look. Then, when you walk over to grab a cocktail at the bar — boom! — people see that your skirt is actually a pair of pants.
The best thing about black dresses for a wedding reception is that they fit all body types. For example, if you have a slim waist and wide hips, a long dress will suit you best.
