The Best Dressy Pantsuits for Wedding Guests

Like many of the iconic fashion trends of bygone eras, pantsuits have made their return. Invented in the 1920s by Coco Chanel, and made popular in the 1980s by Giorgio Armani and Anne Klein, the coordinated pantsuit (a.k.a. The power suit) just happens to be one of our new favorite wedding guest attire trends for 2024.

For those looking to switch things up from their classic wedding guest dress, the resurgence of power suits comes at just the right time. Not only do wedding guest pant suits offer the ease of being able to switch up your look throughout the night by removing your blazer, but they're also perfect for moving and grooving in (who doesn't like the sound of that?). With this in mind, we searched the web high and low to find the best dressy pantsuits for wedding guests—keeping in mind the different types of dress codes, of course. Keep scrolling to browse our top picks for 2024 and seamlessly shop your faves with the click of a button.

Best Dressy Pantsuits for Wedding Guests

Unsure of how to find the best power suit for you? Consider the wedding dress code, theme, and time of year. If you're attending a more casual summer "I do's", go for breathable fabrics like linen and seersucker. For black-tie nuptials taking place in winter, opt for heavier fabrics like velvet or satin (bonus points for incorporating festive embellishments like crystals, feathers, or pearls). When in doubt, you can't go wrong with one of these 15 stylish sets:
