    Spring wedding season is upon us, and it's time to turn heads in something ✨new✨

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A flowy floral romper that looks like a mini dress from afar, but is way more comfortable.

    Promising reviews: "I love this dress!...I bought this to wear to a summer wedding. It feels lightweight enough even with the long sleeves! Material is comfortable, and I feel sexy yet classy in this! I usually stray away from rompers due to awkward fits...but this one is the exception!" —Katie

    "I wore this romper to a wedding in May. It was perfect. I got sooo many compliments... It was just the right length and not sheer. It was so comfortable, also. I could dance without worrying about my butt showing...I highly recommend this outfit. So much that I ordered another one is a different color for another event." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors).

    2. A one-shoulder satin bodysuit sure to turn heads at the wedding reception. Dress this cutie up with a skirt or down with a pair jeans. Either way, you'll look great!

    Promising reviews: "A hidden gem✨. I was 100% surprised when I purchase this top. The fit was just right and the color was beautiful... When I tell you THIS is QUALITY...it absolutely is. It has little stretch but with the material I didn’t expect it to. Overall, it was a great purchase and I will be ordering a neutral tone for other occasions." —Amazon Customer

    "This top is STUNNING. It looks and feels like an expensive designer piece. I’ve purchased clothing from Amazon in the past that I was extremely disappointed with, but girl, this is not one of them. This top will make you look and feel expensive and glamorous...I am beyond obsessed with this purchase...as a girl who values high quality material, this is an absolute steal and a must buy! Your closet needs this. You need this." —Meghan

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in 10 colors).

    3. A gorge corset puff sleeve top that screams "spring wedding" from the rooftops. Seriously, this top comes in *multiple* floral patterns and is made of a comfy, luxe crepe fabric you definitely wouldn't mind wearing for a few hours.

    Promising review: "LOVE IT. The fit and material are so comfortable. The smocking in the back makes it very easy to take off and on. I also really like the elastic that keeps the sleeves in place. I picked the floral print and it is sooo cute in person." —Jill

    Promising reviews: "I bought the suit in khaki and added a pair of custom shorts so I could wear during the summer and I kid you not this is the coolest thing I have ever bought! It fits perfectly, despite the fact that I did not give very accurate measurements, and Stefaniya was great to work with. She answered promptly, was incredibly helpful and willing to make exactly what I wanted! I will definitely be buying in multiple colors." —hgkoennecke

    Promising review: "This is such a beautiful top. The material is soft and durable. I was going to wear it to work but realized it was just too sophisticated for work, that I changed my mind. It deserves a more formal atmosphere. I love this top greatly. And the way it fit me was fabulous. Fits just as advertised. The way the sleeves just fall on the arm is unique and stylish. Glad I purchased it. I was concerned because sometimes what you buy is not always how it was shown. This top is a 10/10. I have a wedding to attend soon, and this top is what I will wear, with a pair of slick black pants and pumps. I know I will look great with this top. If you like the style and want to turn heads, then BUY THIS TOP!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available for S–XL and in 20 colors).

    6. A chic cape blazer you can throw over a jumpsuit or blouse to make your outfit extra stylish. Warning: all eyes will be on you in this beaut!

    Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny-jean outfit to try this style — and I never want to take them off!

    Promising reviews: "The style of this top is unlike anything I have found before. The attention to detail is just impeccable when it comes to the way the frills lay and cascade down the chest, and the accents on the straps is so cute and dainty. I also love the way the straps are split at the back, it is just those little things that make this top so gorgeous to look at. The body suit also allows the frills to do the talking so that tucked into a pair of pants it completes the look." —Cheese2

    "This top reminds me of something a Sex and the City character would wear in the '90s or even on the new show, or Emily in Paris. Looks like it is off the Paris Runway. " —Lmrojas

    Promising review: "Cute midline split skirt. I’ve seen the trend but it’s been hard finding a skirt that fits in person so I came to Amazon. This is probably the 3rd or 4th skirt of this type I ordered from various companies and this fits the BEST. It’s a great thin material, but not see through. The slit is the perfect balance between classy and sexy. I see it being worn with sandals, then boots and a sweater for the winter. I live in Florida so this is the perfect material for here. Not too thick." —sim simma

    Promising review: "I got so many compliments on these pants!! I love wearing them to work because it’s like wearing dressy pajamas lol. Because they’re so comfy!

I have wide hips but these fit a little looser so I’m wearing a small and they fit great!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in 30+ colors and styles).

    22. A halter knot jumpsuit that you may be getting as a wedding outfit, but you'll be wearing for every big occasion to follow. This wide-leg ensemble seems like something the Hadid sisters would wear, which makes this an immediate must-have right?

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).
