This week I thought it would be fun to round together my favorite guys and have them take a little poll on what their favorite Rent the Runway dresses were!

When I am picking out what to wear for a big date, I always keep the guy in mind, wondering “what will make his jaw drop.” I am sure I’m not the only one! Well, send a thank you too these guys and their new found expertise. They were given 25 dresses to look at and rate on a scale of 1 to 10. Here are their top 5 (in no particular order) and what they liked about them!

 

Herve Leger's Sailor Bandage Dress - John says "Formfitting, short, and elegant all at the same time."

Temperley London's Mini Corry Dress - Joe says "Playful...good length!"

Badgley Mischka's Lady of Love Gown - Jeremiah says "Nice bright color."

Pency's South Beach Sunset Dress - Jake says "Skin plus flowy material equals a great pick."

Yigal Azrouel's Very Violet Draped Dress - James says "I like seeing the shoulders with the one strap."

So to give you an overall of what they liked and didn’t, here are some tips!

-What they like:

Short, elegant, simple dresses. Simplicity is key. A majority of the guys liked dresses they thought were practical too, like dresses with pockets!

-What wasn’t their favorite:

No fluffy, loose, complicated aspects.

-My favorite quote I heard through this experiment was,
“If it is the right girl in the dress…”

So, I guess what it all comes down to is, you find the right guy, and he will love whatever you wear.

Thanks boys for the help! And happy shopping ladies.
