Wedding season is in full force, and there’s a high probability that at least one of your events this season will have a black-tie or formal dress code. So many people have questions about what exactly this means and what’s considered appropriate, so we’re here to help. On most occasions, a black-tie or formal dress code means a floor-length gown. There are certain occasions where a minidress could be appropriate, but this is generally if the dress code is black-tie optional. If you’re looking for something standout to wear, these 13 picks are worth buying right now.

From flowy floral picks to dresses with sexy slits, these are the dresses we’re swooning over right now. Plus, there are plenty of dresses with cutouts, which is always a winner to us. Keep on reading to shop our selects.
