There are a lot of logistics that go along with your new role as bride-to-be (seating charts, paying vendors, choosing bomb bridesmaid dresses that are budget friendly… phew), but there are just as many fabulous fashion opportunities that must, of course, be seized. There are the engagement photos, bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner, and don’t forget the bridal shower — if you’ve been dying to show off your sartorial prowess, the lead up to “I do” is the perfect time. But not just any old #OOTD, or little white dress for that matter, will work. A rad romper, on the other hand? Straight-up gold. Beyond their fashion-forward factor, they’re incredibly effortless — and we know how you love a good one-and-done look. Read on for 15 jaw-dropping designs that will set your style apart at your bridal shower and beyond.
1. C/meo Collective This Way Playsuit ($190): Give your girls a taste of the show-stopping bridal fashion to come with this OMG-worthy jumpsuit that warrants more than a few oohs and ahhs. Team it with leather mules, sleek tresses and a bold red lip for a striking look that reads modern muse.
2. Reformation Frankie Romper ($178): Short, sweet and summery — this off-the-shoulder stunner was made for schmoozing (Champagne in hand) on an outdoor terrace overlooking the water. Defy tradition and don a pale pink romper that would look ah-mazing styled alongside embellished block heels and a carefully coiffed topknot. Dainty necklaces and embroidered clutches are highly encouraged.
