When your best friend passes you that bridesmaids proposal box and asks you to stand by their side on their wedding day, chances are your first reaction is yes! While being a bridesmaid is such an important and meaningful role to fill, it’s also a pricy one. Between the bachelorette party and your bridesmaid dress, costs can add up quickly. But we’re not about to let the price tag stop you from standing by your bestie on their big day. 

We’re on a mission to make being a bridesmaid possible for everyone. That’s why we’ve gathered some dress ideas that won’t just be a one-time wear. Keep scrolling for our favorite bridesmaid dresses you can wear again, complete with tips on how to style them.

Short Bridesmaid Dresses You Can Wear Again

Short bridesmaid dresses are simple to re-wear over and over again. It’s a perfect date night dress paired with a leather jacket, a simple black clutch, and low black block heels. But, it can also easily be dressed down for a more casual look when worn with tights and boots. The limits are endless when it comes to rocking a short bridesmaid dress long after the wedding day, and it’ll be a staple piece in your closet.

Midi Bridesmaid Dresses You Can Wear Again

Midi dresses are in style right now for both weddings and everyday streetwear. The best part about this length dress is its versatility. You can go with a laid-back, edgy vibe or a classy, put-together look. For our casual bridesmaids, throw on an oversized graphic t-shirt or an oversized sweater and some trendy sneakers of your choice. To dress it up, add tights, knee-high boots, and a long wool coat.
