The ultimate wedding guest fashion guide for 2021 weddings

Ahead of weddings resuming this summer, we take a look at what's trending for guest fashion and summer occasion wear

As restrictions begin to ease and wedding plans resume, the hope of attending weddings this summer is back on the cards. 

With many of us heading to our wardrobes to dust off last year summer dresses, over the last year our taste or styles may have changed, or you may want to treat yourself to a brand new look as celebrations commence again. 

To help inspire you wedding guest style, here are five top fashion trends and products available right now:

Statement Sleeves

One of the top trends for summer style are puffed oversized sleeves, offering up cute vintage vibes for occassion wear dresses.
