Regardless of what your plans end up being, you can be sure to find an outfit to rock. Let’s go through some of the options Lulus has to offer for a stylish bachelorette party.

Black Bachelorette Dresses

A little black dress isn’t just a wardrobe staple—it’s a stylish outfit for a bachelorette party. Not only does this keep things sleek and simple, but it also allows the bride to stand out. Even if she goes for a color that isn’t white, the contrast against the black dresses will be hard to miss.

There are numerous styles for black dresses, including different lengths and necklines. This is where the other components of your party plan come into play. For a colder atmosphere, for example, you can go for a long-sleeve dress look. For a more active agenda, you can even go for a black jumpsuit. The options are endless!

Pink Bachelorette Dresses

This is another classic for bachelorette parties. With a wide range of pink dresses in different shades to choose from, you can pick a style that works best for your event and personality. For a more toned-down look, light pink or pastel pink might be your best choice. For something bold, hot pink will be your best friend.

Pink bachelorette dresses can also be leveled up with accessories. Adding a vibrantly colored handbag can add a playful pop to your look while adding black accents can give an edgy or more sophisticated feeling. Again, it all depends on the agenda for the night.

Sparkly Cocktail Dresses

Shine bright like a diamond in a sparkly cocktail dress! These glittering outfits are full-on festive (it is a party, after all). Your sparkle can come from sequins, glitter, rhinestone, or metallic fabric. No matter how you bring the shine, it’s sure to brighten the occasion.

Beach Bachelorette Outfits

A bachelorette party at a beach destination requires a few more components than your average night on the town. First, you’ll want a swimsuit, of course. The style is totally up to you—whether you’re a bikini or a one-piece person, you can find something to match your vibe. This year, the trends run the gamut from neutral solids to electric bright prints.

You’ll also want to consider maxi dresses and coverups. When you’re in slow-motion, walking down the beach, the ocean lapping at your toes, a flowy dress can be the perfect thing for you and your fellow bridesmaids to fully immerse yourselves in the aesthetic. Accessories for beach outfits are a must, of course, so don’t forget the sandals, sunglasses, and sun hats.

Western Bachelorette Outfits

The Western bachelorette party look takes multiple forms, one being in the form of denim. Whether it’s a denim dress, denim two-piece, or denim top/bottom paired with something else, wearing something of that fabric already puts you in the Western aesthetic. A second is the inclusion of fringe, which are reminiscent of cowboy chaps and vests. A third is the classic Cottagecore paisley; the floral and swirl designs pair great with brown boots and belts.

Western bachelorette outfits have a more casual vibe but can still be glam (think sequin fringe or metallic cowboy boots). The right accessories can dress up the outfit even more, giving your bachelorette party a fun, cohesive theme.
