Hey gorgeous! Bridesmaids play a very important role in weddings. They not only have to make it all easy for the bride but also ensure every little detail is right for the bride. But inspite of all the responsibilities assigned to bridesmaids, it leaves only a little time for them to dress up. And even after dressing up, it’s not an easy task to run around while you’re dressed either. Or there are chances of you going completely goth from a pretty princess!

Shorts gowns are essentially shorts that look exactly like a gown, wherein the skirts are replaced by shorts. The shorts are covered either fully or only on the sides and at the back with an overskirt, that may be opaque or made out of tulle or other sheer fabric. First of all, shorts are super comfy and these outfits will be in limelight! Yeah, women walking in shorts at a wedding, totally cool! It almost gives Charlie’s Angels feel, I guess.

Bridesmaid Dress Style | How to Style a Shorts Gown?

You can either opt for just a shorts gown or go for a shorts dress. Go for pastel colors or metallics to stand out! Keep the makeup minimal by keeping it all natural. Or go for a sexy metallic smokey eye to match the dress and pair it with a nude lip. Side swept hair with loose curls or a messy bun looks perfect with a shorts gown. You can also opt for shorts with pockets to make a statement!

You can even surprise the guests by wearing a satin skirt over your shorts gown. And later changing only to shorts gown! Or go for detachable overskirt so you can remove it at the afterparty!

So, that was all about the trendy bridesmaid dress style. Are you gonna bid goodbye to bridesmaid dresses? Share us your thoughts by tweeting @shilpa1ahuja!
