The older I get, the more I find myself prioritising versatility in my wardrobe, and before every big purchase nowadays I try to ask myself whether I could wear that piece to work, on weekends and dress it up for date nights as well. So I’ve decided to apply the same logic to wedding-guest dresses this year, and only purchase styles I can repurpose for multiple occasions—anything that sits outside of that I’ll rent. I also wanted to spend time trying a lot of styles because, like dating, finding clothes you truly love is often a numbers game. This also means being a little more organised than I would be normally, and really considering whether dresses work or not, rather than panic-buying at the last minute and settling for something less than perfect.
So, if you wondered what I’ve been doing with my last few weekends, it’s exactly that. Trying on a bunch of dresses and figuring out which ones really deserve a place in my wardrobe. After trying so many, there were some clear winners that impressed me so much I thought it might be useful to share them with you, in case you’re currently in the same predicament.
Keep scrolling and you’ll find the TK versatile but impressive in their own right; comfortable but still sexy (in my opinion) styles I can genuinely recommend. For reference, I’m 5’2”, size 10-12, and a bra size 34A— so, of course, not all of these will be perfect for everyone. But I’ve tried my best to highlight the ones that could work for as many people as possible.
