Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We’ll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
This second April installment of Shop Talk is all about wedding guest ensembles—the number-one recommendation request from my friends and family. Between tricky dress codes, specific color palettes, and cost considerations, my inbox is full of questions about what to wear to weddings. Below, you can shop new-in dresses, shoes, and accessories that feel fresh and fit a range of dress codes and budgets. With chartreuse colorways, trending clutch bags, comfortable but stylish wedge heels, and more, I think you’ll like what I’ve curated for you here.
