We've all been there: Wedding season. A joy for many — The drinks! The dancing! An excuse to party with people you never see! — but just as often, a slog. The expenses. The travel. The gifts. The question of "Would so-and-so really notice if I didn't go?"

Then there's the additional complications. Like if you used to date one half of the happy couple. Or your current partner has. Or you're attending out of spite, for some reason (no judgment). The point is: Weddings can be fraught. So the last thing you need is to worry about what to wear, right?

With shoes and bags and jewelry (oh my!), hotel reservations, and choosing a +1 carefully on your mind, the dress should be the easiest part. That's why I've assembled a selection of Dress The Population offerings to choose from.

Sexy, sweet, and versatile, Dress The Population silhouettes are almost guaranteed to get you the old-timey wolf cartoon eye-popping from other guests. Maybe a few Awooogas! And quite possibly the ire of the bride. Oops!

But, whatever. Because when you look good, you feel great. So, prep for wedding season with this list of 17 dresses for wedding guests that will make you feel like it's your day, actually. Cheers!

Simply put: This is the dress that you wear to your ex's wedding.

This is the dress that you wear to your current partner's ex's wedding.

Black tie affair? Evening celebration set at a posh country club? The Felicia's full-length silhouette proves that formalwear can still be plenty sexy.

Sleek, chic, and form-fitting, the Silas is the ultimate LBD.

The Jayla is a super-versatile mini that's guaranteed to turn heads.

When you're looking for glitz, glam, and an evening look that's modest but not frumpy, this is the one.

This super-sweet silhouette is flouncy, romantic, and great for garden-based events.

Is anything more dainty, delightful, and classic than this floral and feminine design? No. Plus, you'll get credit for only being kind of a show-off. 

This elegant sheath brings a sophisticated touch to any event. Weddings you don't want to attend, weddings where you have beef with the bride and she didn't really expect you to come, et. al.

A sweetheart neckline and all-over lace details make this dress your secret weapon.

For a sexy sheath that can be made formal (or less so). look no further than the ultra-flattering Ximena.

Sexy meets sophisticated in the curve-hugging Lyla dress. If you had one, you'd probably be wearing it right now, just for fun. 

If you show up to a wedding rocking this, you know you're going to be tearing it up on the dance floor. I recommend wearing it when you didn't get a +1, so you can make the most of the "Can I buy you a drink?" asks you'll get throughout the event.

Sequins! Cape sleeves! A mini length! Liza's got it all, and more.

With its high-low hem, faux wraparound silhouette, and floral pattern, the Delphine can be dressed up or dressed down with ease.

A fit-and-flare with a just-flirty-enough neckline, the Catalina is a dress you'll return to time and time again.

I mean, no explanation needed here.

Say goodbye to last-minute salon appointments before the event and hello to these Miley Cyrus-approved self-tanners.
