There are a few norms of bridesmaid dress shopping: You pick a color, pick a length, pick a season—and then, you see what the market has to offer you. Rarely do you pick a silhouette (outside of the aforementioned hemline consideration). And almost never do you say the words, “I’m planning to exclusively shop one-shoulder bridesmaid dresses.” What’s funny is that’s pretty much the inverse of how we shop for anything else.
When stocking your closet with must-haves and statement-makers, alike, we tend to chiefly consider silhouette. “I own too many boxy sweaters—I need something more fitted.” “Too many of my dresses are midis—I need a mini or two, or maybe even a maxi.” “I literally own no power suits. None. And I have a business-attire event next week—fuck.” We don’t really say, “You know what my closet needs? More red.” That’s likely because silhouette tends to encapsulate our aesthetics far better than any single color does (aside from, say, black); while you could probably convince even the most green-averse person to consider an olive or forest green piece, you probably couldn’t lure a cinched-waist fanatic into shift dress territory.
Of course, brides-to-be are doing something us laypeople aren’t: They’re trying to craft a carefully curated palette, one devoid of too many rogue colors. So the shopping-by-palette journey makes some sense. Still, brides-to-be are likely shopping by aesthetic, too—which is why it actually may make sense to settle on a look, or style, or shape and then further restrict by color. At least, such is the course of action we’re advocating for today.
