Attention, Wedding Guests: Here Are 16 Summer Pieces I'd Wear to Each Event

I'm 28, which means my social life (and my savings account) revolves around bachelorettes, bridal showers, weddings, post-wedding brunches—you get the idea. I would never shy away from recycling an outfit, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't buy a new piece or two for all the festivities I have coming up. Each dress code is different from the next, but Banana Republic has pieces that fit every occasion.

With casual linen dresses, silk gowns, and more, Banana Republic has streamlined my shopping experience. To see a breakdown of what I'd wear to each wedding festivity, keep reading.
