It's officially hen party season, and they're a great excuse to go all out in a new outfit. While some bridal parties might go for a fancy dress theme, many give you free rein so you can choose to wear bright colours, serious sparkles or that LBD you've had your eye on.
What to wear on a hen do?
- Sequin outfits: It totally depends on the hen party plans, but if there's a big night out on the cards you can't go wrong with all-over embellishments and sequins. A hen do is a rare occasion when you can be as extra as you like (if anything, it's expected) without thinking too much about whether you'll fit in at the bar or club you're heading to. A sequin mini dress is so easy to style as such a statement piece requires minimal accessories and can be paired with everything from barely-there stilettos to platforms, and even chunky boots or sandals if heels aren't the vibe.
- Colourful dresses: If you have daytime plans, like a girls' brunch or something outdoors (that doesn't require activewear), a colourful dress is the perfect choice. We've found a range of styles from printed to monochrome, in cuts to suit every figure. Many hen parties begin in the daytime and continue into the evening, so all of these options can be dressed up with a change of accessories.
- LBDs: A little black dress never fails. They flatter every figure, suit every skin tone and are suitable for any occasion. So if you're really struggling with what to wear, take a look our edit of LBDs and just add a leather jacket.
