1. I am looking for a dress to wear to the meeting.
2. I am looking for a shirt to wear to the birthday party.
3. I am looking for suits to wear to the conference.
(Are they all grammatical? Why do we have to use the preposition 'to' before a place? Can we use 'at' or 'in' instead of 'to'? What is the difference between them in meaning?)

They are all correct.
The prepositions "at" and "to" in these sentences mean about the same. You could use either one. However, "to" is probably used more often than "at" in these sentences.

Thank you. What about 'for' instead of 'to'?
1. I am looking for a dress to wear for the meeting.
2. I am looking for a shirt to wear for the birthday party.
3. I am looking for suits to wear for the conference.
(Are they grammatical,too?)
