While the winter, spring, and summer months all have their allure, there's something particularly enchanting about attending a fall wedding. But when it comes to dressing for autumn nuptials, it can be tricky for wedding guests to find an outfit that's both stylish and season-appropriate. Fortunately, there are plenty of fall wedding guest dresses out there that are practical and fashionable—even for outdoor ceremonies

Be sure to consider the dress code for the event when selecting an outfit.

Certain silhouettes, like floor-length gowns with long sleeves and high necklines, are perfect for fending off chilly temperatures in style. When it comes to colors and patterns, dresses and jumpsuits in jewel tones, metallics, and moody floral prints will complement autumn's rich and earthy hues. And the best fabrics for a fall wedding? Plush velvet, heavy crepe, satin, and silk are all great options. We combed through a wide variety of wedding guest outfit options to find picks by designers Jenny Yoo, Markarian, and others that are perfectly suited for attending a fall wedding in comfort and style.

Whether the wedding takes place in a rustic barn in the mountains or at a modern city venue, read on for the best fall wedding guest dresses.

Look for details like beaded embellishments, dramatic long sleeves, and alluring open backs. Of course, when it comes to shopping for a fool-proof fall wedding guest outfit, you can never go wrong with a little black dress.
