We've got all of the inspiration you need for any type of celebration, we'll cheers to that!
What To Wear vs What Not To Wear
When it comes to hens party outfit inspiration, it helps to have some guidance like a colour scheme or theme...but what do you do when you have no idea what to wear at all?
It can be tricky to find the perfect outfit that suits the celebratory occasion, has enough movement to dance, doesn't breach the unspoken "no white" rule, isn't too revealing or dazzling so you don't outshine the hen.
Luckily when it comes to hens parties, with a little guidance and some fool-proof outfit recommendations, your worries can be a thing of the past so that you can focus on what's important. Drinking champagne and celebrating your hen!
What To Wear
- The Little Black Dress
The Little Black DressEvery girl has a beloved LBD, so this makes it a perfect choice for a hens party outfit. Black goes with so many different shoes, bags, lip colours and most importantly...hens party accessories!
- All. Pink. Everything.
All. Pink. Everything.When in doubt...wear pink! Pink is a classic and fun hens party colour that makes a statement and let everyone know you're here for a great time. Now where's my cosmo?!
- Never-Go-Wrong Neutrals
Never-Go-Wrong NeutralsA neutral colour palette is a foolproof outfit choice when you are at a loss of what to wear. You don't run the risk of wearing the ever-precarious colour white, just in case the bride is touchy about that - and it's an adaptable colour that looks great in so many scenarios!
What not to wear
- A White Outfit
A White OutfitThe unspoken rule of hens, especially when there is no rules...don't wear white! Choose absolutely any other colour, and you are in the clear of an awkward encounter with the bride-to-be or at least a couple of glares from friends and family!
- Spotlight Stealing
Spotlight StealingIf you aren't sure what to wear, and a theme hasn't been specified it's always a safe bet to dress nicely but without becoming the main attraction! We recommend avoiding rhinestones, sequins and over the top glitter so you don't accidentally outshine the hen herself!
- Too Revealing
Too RevealingIf you have to talk yourself into the fact your outfit isn't showing too much skin, or if you have asked a friend or family member for their opinion if your outfit is 'too revealing' don't risk it! You would rather wear an outfit you know is appropriate and won't leave you feeling self conscious throughout the hens!

Activity Specific Fashion Inspo
What To Wear To A Winery
A hens party winery tour is an amazing day spent out in the sunshine, sipping amazing vino with friends and indulging in picturesque landscapes and scenery whilst you are at it. That means there are oh-so-many photo opportunities that lay ahead, and you will want to dress the part!
When it comes to outdoors activities like a hens winery tour, first and foremost...check the weather report ahead of time! Be that guest who everybody else envies, and dress for the temperature. Depending on the season, that could mean anything from a cute and colourful summer dress to a comfy pair of jeans and a nice top and jacket.
Whether you have gone for a flowy summer look, or a cosy chic winter look - accessories and footwear can make all of the difference. We recommend a chunky heel or chic flat shoe for summer, and a low heeled boot for winter. Then all that's left to do is accessories. Whether that's with your favourite pair of sunglasses or statement earrings - or classic hens party accessories like sashes, you are ready for a day of winery wonder in pure comfort!
What To Wear For A Night On The Dancefloor
If you are planning on hitting the dancefloor for your hens night, then you'll want to make sure you're dressed to impress, and most importantly...to dance!
Consider wearing something sexy without out-shining your hen. A tight-fitting dress or skirt with a satin top is always a good choice...or if you are the type of hens guest who can't help themselves but to bust out a twerk, why not opt for a two piece pants set!
When it comes to comfort and avoiding a fashion faux pass, be sure to avoid anything that's too short or too low-cut, that you’re going to have to constantly tug at or adjust mid routine on the dance floor.
One popular activity to get your group in the mood is a hens party cocktail making session. This is a perfect way to kick off the evenings proceedings.
Now get your dance on!
What To Wear On A Hens Boat Party
When it comes to a hens boat party, there are a couple of things you'll need to factor in!
1. What type of boat are you going on?
Some boats, like yachts for example require guests to be barefoot or in flat soled white shoes. This is an important consideration when deciding your outfit! Other vessels have no specifications and you can wear whatever your heart desires, just be sure whatever footwear you choose you can balance well in, and maybe leave the stilettos at home!
2. What season are you cruising in?
Boats are amazing year round, but certain seasons call for certain outfits! If you are lucky enough to be invited to a summer hens, check whether a swim is on the cards and be sure to pack some cute swimwear and maybe even a matching skirt or sarong. Alternatively, you may want to consider a flowy dress that is easy to take on and off!
In winter, you won't be swimming, and the breeze can be cool - so bring along a jacket or shawl and thank us later!
3. Is there a theme?
Boats offer the perfect opportunity for a range of themes, with the most popular being a nautical theme! Check with the organiser of the hens or your bride-to-be so you know if there are certain colours or schemes you need to work with and have fun!
