ANT/DOTE’s Guide to Wedding Guest Style
Wedding season is in full swing. Although the setting changes, the dress code remains.
The ritual of dressing up for a wedding has deep roots. It aligns with cultural expectations of hospitality and decorum in the first-century Near East, where guests were typically expected to wear special garments as a sign of respect for the host and the occasion. The sentiment still holds: showing up dressed appropriately isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about honoring the invitation.
Structured tailoring, intentional volume, controlled silhouettes. This is wedding season through the ANT/DOTE lens—where black is always appropriate, and softness is a choice, not a default. We’ve selected a few standout pieces, perfect for making a statement at any wedding event.
From Rick Owens’s Fall-Winter 2024 collection, the Laura SL Top in vibrant lemon features wide shoulders with short cap sleeves and a hip-length wrap silhouette tied at the waist for a flattering fit. Paired with the matching Bias Cut Pants—floor-length and loose-fitting—this bold yellow set offers a striking, modern alternative to a dress for a confident wedding guest.
The Alainpaul Tights Top from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection showcases multiple cascading tiers in an asymmetrical, floor-length silhouette. This sleeveless piece features uneven layers that add rich textural dimension, making it a captivating and elegant choice—perfect for a black-tie wedding.
The Polo Ripple Dress by Melitta Baumeister from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection is a pleated maxi with a voluminous skirt that shifts beautifully with movement. Its sculptural silhouette offers a blend of structure and flow, creating a look that is both bold and refined. In crisp white, it’s a striking choice for a wedding guest who values elegance, comfort, and a modern sense of drama.
