If you’re a late summer or fall bride, the months of July and August are prime for your summer bridal shower. For an exciting day of celebrating your wedding with your closest family and friends, you’ll undoubtedly need a gorgeous summer bridal shower dress for the occasion.

Aside from your wedding dress, you need a handful of looks—from your engagement party to your rehearsal dinner—as a bride-to-be and your bridal shower dress is a moment where you can go ultra-feminine with your look. And while gorgeous bridal shower dresses are available year-round, summer tends to have an especially great assortment at the ready from little white dresses to cheerful floral prints and festive colors.

For the traditional bride, a lacy white dress is classic and so stunning. You can go super simple with a traditional silhouette like a sheath or A-line number or embrace the season’s asymmetrical details like a one-shoulder neckline or high-low hem. If you’re the more casual type but still want to wear white, bohemian dresses fit for warm weather are perfect—a lace-trimmed mini, breezy cotton midi or easy linen dress is very laid-back bridal chic—puffy sleeves and vintage-style wraps are especially of-the-moment in effortless-looking fabrics and silhouettes. Modern brides will love a white dress with a bit of black detail for a bride-to-be vibe that’s a tad more directional. Floral prints and polka dots are lovely if you’re in the mood for a little color or print whether you go for a barely-there motif or a splashy pattern. Both feel feminine and romantic without being overtly bridal. Heck, you may even want to scoop up a few!

The best part about a summer bridal shower dress is that, more often than not, it can be a style you wear again and again after the celebration. For summer, we know you have a multitude of events on the calendar that go beyond your bridal festivities.

Whether you’re looking for a bridal shower dress that’s classic, bohemian or fashion-forward, ahead, we’ve rounded up 34 options from ultra-affordable styles to designer versions. Get inspired!

Kourtney Kardashian beat the heat on Wednesday by wearing a sexy and skimpy black corset top while out and about in Calabasas.

According to a July 18 report by Just Jared, Kourtney Kardashian was spotted showing off her toned tummy on Wednesday as she left a studio in her hometown of Calabasas, California. The mother-of-three looked gorgeous as she wore a black corset top and high-waisted flared, distressed jeans. She wore her shoulder length hair in waves and parted down the middle, and finished off the look with strappy black heels.

Kourtney Kardashian, along with her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, was spotted at the studio, and even posted photos to their Instagram accounts from their time there. However, they did not reveal what they were doing at the studio. It seems that the sisters could have been filming some confessional style videos and/or commentary for the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which is set to debut on E! in August.

Later that day, Khloe Kardashian was spotted wearing the same outfit as she headed to lunch at Benihana with her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. The two looked relaxed and happy as they headed into the restaurant together on Wednesday.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kourtney Kardashian may be having a bit of relationship drama. The reality TV star recently posted a photo of herself wearing a floral thong bikini to Instagram and it seems that her boyfriend, Younes Bendjima, didn’t like it. “That’s what you need to show to get likes?” Younes commented on the photo. The statement was later deleted.

“Kourtney doesn’t appreciate Younes posting his feelings in a public forum and being impulsive. She’s frustrated that he continues to get upset about it. She isn’t going to stop doing what she’s doing and feels like he needs to understand and deal with it,” the source stated.

Sources add that Kourtney Kardashian has tried to explain to Younes Bendjima that posting photos on social media is a part of her job, but that he sometimes gets emotional when she shares racy images of herself.

“Kourtney has explained its part of her job and it’s not going to change. But it still makes him uncomfortable and upset. He overreacted and put up a comment without thinking it through. Then he realized what he did made it even worse. He was just not thinking in the moment and got emotional,” an insider added.

John Galliano set out Friday to redefine 21st-century masculinity with corsets, sensual satins and vinyl trousers to “liberate” men from their sartorial shackles.

The British designer’s new collection for Maison Margiela at Paris men’s fashion week not only blurred the lines between genders, but blew them away with shiny pink ribbon belts and a haute couture decadence that rarely treads the male catwalk.

Inspired by genderless fashion boutiques now springing up in London and elsewhere, Mr. Galliano put out a podcast to explain how he is plotting to release men from the straitjackets of suits and streetwear. “I have been questioning myself, and I’ve been trying to redefine what it means to be masculine today,” he said. He urged men to learn from women how to feel both classy and comfortable.

The creator, who revolutionised Dior and Givenchy before his fall from grace after a drunken anti-Semitic outburst in 2011, said fine tailoring cut on the bias could be the key to revolutionising men’s wardrobes with a new sexier, freer feel.

“It’s mercurial, like liquid to wear,” Mr. Galliano said. “It’s as easy as wearing no clothes. It’s that liberating.”

He said he was struck by its effect when he was doing the fitting with his models.

Mr. Galliano, 57, who has been at the head of the label created by the highly influential Belgian maverick Martin Margiela since 2014, said sartorial rules may be about to be overturned like social taboos.

He said he is surrounded by young people in his studio and “for them gay marriage is a historical event, the abolition of the ban on abortion in Ireland is history. It’s a completely different mindset,” he told the podcast, The Memory of… With John Galliano.

With languid satin suits cut loose and worn with nothing underneath, tweed Saville Row style suits of English tweed and embroidered kimono jumpsuits, Mr. Galliano mixed gender-bending David Bowie looks from the 1970s with a more futuristic Japanese vibe.

It’s a drag queen’s world right now, as shows like Pose and RuPaul’s Drag Race have catapulted the culture of men dressing as women into the zeitgeist. In 2018, drag has gone mainstream, and what a fantastic, joyful, and illuminating thing to happen to us as a society, especially in light of all the hatred we’re bombarded with—much of it coming straight out of the Oval Office. After commandeering our TV screens and Instagram feeds, drag also now seems to be impacting men’s fashion. The Spring 2019 runways have been filled with guys wearing what are typically discussed by those in the industry, and many of the people who actually buy the clothes, as female-centric trends: waist cinchers, revealing crop tops, minimal camisoles, and midi skirts. A few members of the men’s street style flocks in London and Milan have been experimenting with glittery dresses and skirts, too.

A lot of hype has been built up around genderless fashion à la Alessandro Michele and his band of Gucci misfit boys and girls, but this is something different. Daniel W. Fletcher took classic pin-striped fabric and gave his guys a corset that laces up the side in lieu of a jacket. Astrid Andersen’s bandeau top–and–tracksuit look was worn just as well by a man on the runway as it is likely to be by Kylie Jenner, maybe better. Charles Jeffrey went so far as to dress men in cage-like suits of armor over diaphanous dresses, their faces painted like statues.

It should also be pointed out that men wearing women’s clothes on the runway or in fashion in general is nothing new. Marc Jacobs has been known to rock a lace skirt, and Thom Browne, arbiter of cool suiting for dudes like the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball players, has put male models in dresses on his runways. But these traditionally feminine pieces are gaining more traction right now, more of a chance of actually hitting the racks at big stores and ending up on the bodies of men, gay or straight, who are embracing new modes of dressing themselves. What a refreshing era for men’s fashion, one that the industry should continue to cultivate. As RuPaul likes to say, “We’re born naked. The rest is all drag.”

The athleisure trend may be running rampant thanks to Hollywood’s favorite starlets and a handful of high-profile collaborations, but if the idea of wearing emerald tracksuits and court-ready sneakers outside of the gym does not strike your fancy, perhaps the Paris-based label Ernest Leoty—originally a 19th-century corset designer, whose work is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum—will with its range of corset-inspired activewear.

“I’ve always loved very intricate eveningwear and ballet costumes, which aren’t necessarily comfortable, so I asked myself, What would it be like to have something feminine [to work out in] but incredibly comfortable?” says former financial entrepreneur Marion Rabate, who had an “aha moment” upon discovering the French heritage brand in the Louvre’s archives. “Corsets back then were very restrictive, but Leoty’s work was all about making the corset comfortable. He registered a lot of patents using rubber and fastening mechanisms that gave women room to breathe,” she explains. Now, nearly 300 years later, Rabate has brought Maison Leoty back into the limelight by extending that pioneering philosophy to the line’s lingerie-like leggings, sports bras, and more. “It’s couture for leisure.”

Take, for example, the range of bodysuits: The Ilona, a full-length V-neck, is rendered in an aubergine and cranberry combination that will come as a welcome relief to anyone put off by the abundance of neon on the market; while the Shortie is equipped with mesh details and stitches reminiscent of a corset’s boning. “It creates architectural lines, while slimming the body in the right place,” notes Rabate, who perfected the fit with a French factory that specializes in traditional corsetry. In other words, the structure is inherently supportive enough for pirouettes, planks, and plow poses, but it’s also nevertheless supremely sensual.

“It’s a question of how [the clothes] can be practical enough to do sports in—but still allow you to dream and be enchanted,” she says. So while Ernest Leoty’s sweat-wicking stretch fabric from Italian luxury mills is fit for a marathon, Rabate  prefers to take a less competitive—and more achievable—approach. “It’s really about finding balance,” she explains. “That’s the French way: not overdoing it but doing everything in moderation.” Mais oui.
