Ssense’s New Bridal Drop Is Made For Non-Traditional Brides

Whether you’re a non-traditional bride searching for a unique wedding dress, optic-white separates, or luxe accessories for all your events (like a bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, and honeymoon), Ssense’s new bridal collection is the place for you. Following the success of its “anti-bridal” capsule in 2023 and Bridal 2.0 drop in 2024, the luxury retailer returns with its third iteration: Bridal 3.0, available to shop now.

“For bridal 3.0, we again have well-established brands that are new to bridal like Issey Miyake, alongside some of our adored newcomers like Colleen Allen,” said vice president of Ssense womenswear buying and everything else, Brigitte Chartrand, in a press release. “A bride can have as many main character moments as she wants on her day.”

This year’s lineup includes over 100 styles — from wedding dresses decked out in trending bows to sleek bridal separates, extravagant veils, and eye-catching floral- and pearl-accented jewelry. The capsule is rooted in an “individualistic approach to weddings,” according to the press release, encouraging brides to break the rules, make a statement, and feel fully themselves on their big day.

Ahead, shop Ssense’s Bridal 3.0 collection for fashion-forward staples and re-wearable statement pieces for every part of the wedding journey.

Ssense Wedding Dresses

Bang Bipean

Forget the ball gown. This edit is all about playful mini dresses, sheer showstoppers, and sculptural cocktail silhouettes in shades of white, ivory, and eggshell. While you can splurge on a Vivienne Westwood wedding dress for $9,550, most pieces range from $595 to $2,400.

Ssense Bridal Separates

Not into wedding dresses? Opt for a statement top (corsets! boleros!) paired with a mini skirt or tailored trousers. These, along with a lingerie set, work just as well for bridal showers and honeymoons.

Ssense Bridal Headpieces

The veil gets a reboot with both long and short styles — plus a lineup of unconventional headpieces like oversized bows, textured headbands, and sculptural caps. You’ll want to re-wear these well beyond the wedding day.

Ssense Bridal Shoes & Accessories

From chunky heels and garters to opera gloves and satin sandals, Ssense’s bridal accessories are not to miss. Try Shushu/Tong for your bachelorette, Simone Rocha down the aisle, and Issey Miyake for the honeymoon. Again, each piece is the type you can style again and again post-”I do’s,” especially for a summer party.

Ssense Bridal Jewelry

The jewelry edit may be small, but it’s full of impact — from “Just Married” heart-shaped earrings to bold floral hoops and chunky pearl chokers. Your “something new” awaits.

Free People Has Your Festival Wardrobe Sorted — Here’s How We’re Styling Our Faves

No one does festival fashion quite like Free People. Since launching in 1984, the brand has owned the eclectic, vintage-inspired space — think airy maxis for floating around the campsite, fringed jackets Jimi Hendrix would envy, and bell-bottoms Joan Jett would approve of. All served with a heavy pour of tie-dye, crochet, and beads (basically, more than you can shake your lukewarm pint at).

With festival season already in full swing, there’s no better time to dig into Free People’s 2025 festival edit and start planning your looks — whether you’re pitching a tent or braving a surprise downpour. Sure, you might be stomping through a muddy field, but these outfits will have you feeling sunshiney either way.

Best Free People Festival Outfits For Putting Up The Tent

Trust me: You’ll want a practical outfit for the trek from the parking lot to the campsite and setting up your tent. Between hauling your gear and wrestling with your tent, you’ll be a sweaty mess — even if it’s overcast. The goal? Something comfortable and easy (no fussy ties or waistbands) that you can travel in and feel good wearing all day.

In my experience — and I’ve camped at a lot of festivals — I’m usually too tired to change after setup, so this look often becomes my day-one outfit too. Bonus points if your separates can be reworn later in the weekend. The less you pack, the lighter your load.

Start with athleisure: lightweight, breathable pieces that are made to move. Think leggings or bike shorts with a graphic tee (which can double as your sleep shirt) or a tank layered with a button-down you can ditch when the tent setup turns into a group meltdown. Or go for a breezy linen set — easy to move in and cute enough to keep on post-setup. Just don’t forget a coverup to tie around your waist for the journey there and the chill after sunset.

Best Free People Festival Outfits For Sun & Hot Weather

If it’s looking hot where you’re headed, less is more — especially since most festivals are seriously lacking in shade. Think camis, shorts, strappy mini dresses, breezy skirts, and light layers you can toss in your bag. Skorts are my personal favorite: no chafing, easy to roll up, and quick to hand-wash if needed.

My go-to sunny-day combo is usually a skort and a mini dress or tunic — light, breathable, and easy to move in. I usually wear sneakers to protect my toes, but sandals are a must, too, especially for slipping on around the campsite. The chunkier, the better (spoken as someone who’s 5’2 — they keep you up and out of the inevitable day-four mud by the water taps).

I like to stick to a warm, sunny palette — yellows, oranges, tans, and browns — so everything mixes and matches easily, which helps cut down on packing.

No matter your vibe, the sun-safe festival essentials stay the same: a hat, sunglasses, SPF, and tons of water. Trust me, nothing ruins a set faster than overheating or a brutal sunburn.

Best Free People Festival Outfits For Rain

Jeans on a rainy festival day? Don’t do it. Bare legs dry faster, which is why I stick to shorts and mini skirts — just keep the hemlines short so they don’t drag through the mud. FP Movement also has a few water-resistant winners like the In The Wild Long Shorts, In The Wild Pants, and Thru Hiker Skorts. They won’t save you in a full downpour, but they’re lightweight, breathable, comfy, and quick to dry.

Top it off with cozy layers and a rain jacket. I swear by the Singin’ In The Rain Jacket — mine’s survived three Glastonburys — but the Moon Magic Reflective Pullover also gets rave reviews. Add sturdy rain boots and water-safe accessories, like the Rains waterproof cargo bag or this boxy sling.

Worried about cold legs? Between dancing, walking, and weaving through crowds, you’ll likely stay warm all day — but stash a pair of lightweight leggings in your bag for the evening just in case.

Best Free People Festival Outfits For Late-Night Dancing

Festivals are your excuse to go all out. Think bold colors, clashing prints, glitter, sparkles, cutouts, and statement accessories — basically everything you don’t get to wear on an average Tuesday. And when the sun sets? That’s when the real fun starts (ravers and night owls, I’m looking at you).

Best Free People Festival Outfits For Sleep & On The Campsite

For sleeping and hanging at the campsite, comfort is key. Go for sleepwear you can layer up on chilly nights and peel off when the tent turns into a sauna in the morning. Sliders are essential for quick bathroom runs, and don’t forget a hat, scarf, and leg warmers for late-night chats around your imaginary campfire.

From experience, cropped pants or fitted styles you can tuck into socks work best — even if it’s dry, the ground near taps and toilets always ends up muddy. (Take it from me: don’t drag that mud into your bed.) Free People’s Hailee Sweater Co-Ord hits just the right cropped length and is made from a textured waffle-knit that stays cool by day and cozy at night.

16 Clear Stadium Bags For Your Summer Concerts & Baseball Games

Whether you’re heading to a music festival, embracing sportscore during baseball season, or are simply looking for an accessory to complement any summer outfit, there’s one item that’s a must-have: a small, clear bag that allows for hands-free fun.

Many venues, especially major stadiums, now require that any bags brought inside be clear, so the contents can be easily seen by security. Starting a few years ago, this created a frenzy of last-minute Amazon bag purchases and an overall flood of PVC plastic bags on the market. The upside of this demand is that there are actually a lot of cute, clear stadium bags to choose from. From clear crossbody bags and clear fanny packs to tote bags and mini backpacks, these in-demand styles are so trendy that you can wear them beyond game day.

Ahead, we’ve compiled the very best clear purses — with many customizable options coming from Amazon and Etsy — that fit within the typical stadium-approved 12 x 6 x 12-inch dimensions. We even found designer clear bags from brands like Kate Spade Outlet and Tory Burch. While you may think this will be a one-off purchase, you may be surprised that you’ll want to use a clear purse time and time again, whether you’re bringing it to school, out to brunch, or for a stroll in the park.
