Outfits For Every Engagement Party Theme

Time to RSVP and find your engagement party outfit.

This season, we’re seeing a major moment for standout necklines, and it’s easy to see why. Plunging necklines are ultra-flattering, bold and feminine - the perfect combo for an engagement party OOTN. These styles naturally elongate the upper body and create a balanced, flattering silhouette that looks gorg on anyone.

On the opposite end, high necklines are also a fave right now, especially designs with shorter hemlines (see the Vesperine Lace Maxi Dress below!). They’re so chic and have a slightly more refined feel that’s perfect for dressier engagement parties or more formal venues.

Paired with statement earrings or a slicked-back bun, high necklines bring an effortless edge that ticks all the cool girl boxes

OMG, do we have a bride-to-be?! Firstly, congrats - we are SO excited for you.

Secondly, your engagement party is your night and you can wear anything that makes you feel 10/10.

Engagement party dresses for brides tend to lean into romantic, statement-making styles. Think frills, ruffles, and dreamy fabrics.

Whether you’re celebrating on a rooftop, at a garden venue, or at your fave wine bar, it’s the perfect chance to play with bridal-inspired textures before your big day.

Is the engagement party destination giving formal vibes? You’ll need an elegant dress to match.

Formal engagement parties are the perfect excuse to go all-out with your look. Think luxe fabrics, rich tones and dramatic details.

For this kind of event, floor-length styles are always a go-to. Flowing maxi and midi dresses that drape effortlessly will always bring the formal energy to your look.

Deep burgundy, olive green, and rich shades like these are perfect for formal occasions. Don’t get us wrong, we love a classic neutral, but there’s something extra luxe about these colors.

These deeper hues bring depth to your look, especially paired with gold or silver accessories.

We love a cocktail engagement party outfit! Something fun, flirty and romantic is the vibe for this dress code. Unlike more formal events, cocktail attire gives you the freedom to play with fun textures and trending details. It’s slightly less formal, and the perfect excuse to show off your personal style.

Right now, we’re obsessing over romantic shapes and draping fabrics. Cowl necklines are a versatile option that serve every time. They’re timeless and elevated without feeling too overdone. Bubble hems are also back (and we’re so happy about it). They add volume and a playful element to mini dresses, making them perfect for a standout cocktail engagement party outfit.

This is your chance to have fun with your outfit. Whether that’s a pop of color, a unique silhouette, or a backless cut-out. Pair your look with staple heels, a glossy lip, and a bag to fit your night-out essentials.

Casual engagement parties are all about having fun, being in good company and not feeling the pressure to go all out.

Your casual engagement party outfit should match this energy and be relaxed, comfy and most importantly, something you love. Comfort is key for this dress code, and your everyday wardrobe is the best place to look for inspo.

Reach for colors and styles you know you love - don’t overthink it! We’re loving bright blues, butter yellows and pastel pinks for this engagement party theme.

The final (and arguably the most important) element to your engagement party outfit - accessories!

Subtle details have the power to take your look from casual to formal in seconds. Styled thoughtfully, they can tie your whole outfit together, elevate even the simplest dress, and make your look feel complete.

Think statement earrings, dainty necklaces, and cuffs - versatile pieces that work across multiple dress codes.

If your look is more minimal, this is your chance to choose accessories that show off your personality.
