We’ve all known the panic a week before a wedding when, rummaging through the wardrobe, it feels like there is not a scrap contained within it to wear. Then there is perennial question of what is appropriate to wear to a wedding as a guest? What is wedding guest casual? Perhaps there is a dress code on the invitation? Despite the last-minute anxiety, there is almost always something lurking and long forgotten that will fit the bill. But if you are looking for a fresh addition to your summer wardrobe that would also come in handy for the season’s weddings, we’ve pulled together some of the prettiest ideas.
