Bachelor Wardrobe
On January 2, 2017, season 21 of The Bachelor returns to your TV.
So because of that, here's a wardrobe guide for every outfit you'd ever need if you were a contestant on the show.
The First Impression
It's night one and gowns are the mandatory uniform. Don't be a basic bachelorette by going for something that sparkles all over. Make a decision that will have you standing out from the rest! Go for a bold, powerful color and a super-sexy silhouette because, as horrible as it sounds, tonight's all about physical attraction.

The Sporty Group Date
You've made it to the sporty group date where the winner takes all (a.k.a. gets a one-on-one)! In order to play your hardest, you're going to have to look the part. Throw on your best, sleek sports bra and high-waisted legging combo, throw a light jacket over top (but keep it open) and lace up those sneaks. Game. On.

The First One-on-One
Winner, winner chicken dinner! You were on fire with those goals, so now you get the prize. This date is always pretty low-key, so be comfortable and casual—chances are you'll be doing a lot of walking.

The Pool Party
No matter what (or why?), they're going to get you in a bathing suit. Good thing you came prepared and packed your season's best (along with a cute cover-up and sandals)!
The Pool Party
Zimmermann Oleander Wide Tri Bikini, $275; Andre Assous Selena Platform Espadrille Sandal, $110; Seafolly Encinitas Gold Sunglasses, $90; River Island White Cutwork Bardot Mini Dress, $44
The Second One-on-One
Your bikini was a hit (obviously) because you're on to your second one-on-one of the season...and not many others get to do that. This date calls for semi-formal attire (think: romantic dinner somewhere incredible followed by firework watching and tons of smooching), so get your high heels and lipstick ready!

The Cold Weather Group Date
It's time to pack your bags because it's inevitable (at some point) they'll drop you off somewhere cold...like Alberta, Canada. Your body temps are on California time, so bundle up! Make sure you've covered all your bases (boots, gloves, hat, scarf, etc.)—in the most fashion-forward way possible.

The Theatrical Date
A.k.a. the incredibly embarrassing date where he makes you do things like write him a song (then perform it) or read from your old diary in front of a big crowd. You have to be prepared to make fun of yourself, so dress playful, too!

The Hometown Date
Sure, things have been moving fast, but you're distracted at the moment because he's about to meet the parents. This is a big deal. Wear some that you, again, feel comfortable in, but that also says I have style and grace.

Tonight's the night. The one you've been waiting for. It's down to two women (yourself and one other), but there's no chance you're not getting that ring. Of course, you're on camera, but engagement photos will also ensue, so make sure you're looking and feeling your best. This formal occasion calls for one stunning ensemble!
