Style Tip: If you plan to be on your feet for the entire shower, opt for comfortable shoes like espadrille wedges.
Style Tip: If you don’t consider yourself a traditional bride, channel that for your shower and layer a sleek sports bra over a comfortable shirt for an unexpected layering look.
Style Tip: Wear one of the biggest trends of the year with a puff-sleeve dress. Let it be the focus of your outfit with minimalist sandals.
Style Tip: Having an intimate shower in a warmer destination? Tap into the "ugly" shoe trend and wear chunky sandals with a simple slip dress.
Style Tip: If you can’t get enough of the animal-print movement, wear a fitted turtleneck featuring the trend with a white suit for your shower.
Style Tip: Anyone who wants an easy look that doesn’t feel too bridal will love wearing a crew-neck sweater with tailored trousers.
Style Tip: Just in case your shower moves into the evening, a neutral-hued coat will be the perfect outer layer.
Style Tip: If you’re planning to wear a long white dress, give your ensemble some added texture with a lace kimono.
Style Tip: Classic lace slip dresses will never do you wrong—especially when styled with strappy sandals and a ’90s-inspired purse.
Style Tip: Wearing a chic minidress for your shower? Accessorize with minimal jewelry, like simple earrings and a necklace.
Style Tip: For those warm-weather showers, take a playful touch to your bridal shower with a polka-dot print dress.
