As a frequent wedding guest, I like to vary up my wardrobe a bit.

• Sleeveless? Got it.
• Midi-length? I’ve got a bunch of ’em.
• Halter-top mini in classic black? Yep, it’s there!

But long sleeve wedding guest dresses? I’m lacking in that department.

I’ve been on the hunt for stylish wedding guest dresses that have long sleeves, and did all the findings for me… so I thought I’d share them with you! If you’re looking to rock a long-sleeved dress at the next wedding, you’re sure to find one you love on this list.

Sometimes, you want to cover your arms. Other times, you just aren’t feelin’ the whole open shoulder/arm area (oh, bicep curls, where have you been?)

Other times, you are chilly and want to add a nice little layer to your look.

No need to explain yourself: these wedding guest dresses with long sleeves have GOT YOU COVERED! Literally.

These Long Sleeve Guest Dresses Will Look Amazing at the Wedding

Are long sleeves OK to wear to a wedding? Of course! If you’re hesitant about anything, it should be the color and formality of the dress. Make sure the dress you sleeve is formal enough for the wedding.

And obviously, if the wedding is held in mid-July and it’s hot and humid as heck, don’t wear long sleeves unless you really (really!) love to sweat and be uncomfortable. ;)

Avoid white. Avoid champagne, ivory, taupe, or anything that kinda, sorta looks like white. And don’t go for a floral print in white, either.

And last but not least, don’t forget to accessorize! Add a cute pair of heels and some fun earrings to jazz up your look. And I always start with this, my secret weapon. Hope it helps!

Note: These are all available at Lulus!
