When to Wear Sleeveless

For religious ceremonies or conservative venues, bring a wrap, bolero, or blazer to cover your shoulders, then remove it for the reception. Browse garden party dresses and summer wedding guest dresses.

How to Style a Sleeveless Dress

Bare arms are a great opportunity for a statement bracelet or cuff. Match the bra to the neckline: racerback or convertible for halters and tanks, strapless for wide armholes, and adhesive for low backs. Compare your measurements with each style’s size chart using our Dress Sizing Guide.
