6 Girls From This Season Of ‘The Bachelor’ I’m Stealing Outfit Inspo From

If I’ve learned anything from my many years of tuning into “The Bachelor,” it’s that I can always count on a generous dose of petty drama and style inspo every Monday night.

Looking back on old seasons, it’s obvious that although they may not have grown out of their cliché one-liners (cue: “I didn’t realize it would be this hard”), the contestants’ wardrobes have clearly received an upgrade. Whether that’s a result of the times or of brands sponsoring the girls hoping to capitalize on their newfound fame (looking at you, Revolve), one thing is for sure: there's no shortage of stylish women on this show. 

Since we’re stalking the girls’ Instagrams from the moment they step out of the limo on arrival night, we may as well spend the time productively as opposed to scrolling way back on their feeds to see what their lives were like pre-stardom. On Clayton’s season of The Bachelor, six contestants really stood out to me as the “it” girls for fashion inspo.

Signing up for The Bachelor is nearly a guarantee to becoming an Instagram influencer (or podcaster) these days, so it’s no surprise that the women feel the pressure to put their most stylish foot forward. Many of their feeds are filled with outfits that would make any girl hit “add to cart.” However, the difference is that many, if not all, of these pieces they’re wearing were likely gifted to them by brands. So, where does that leave us? 

Rather than giving up on recreating some of their most stylish looks, I decided to scour the internet for budget-friendly options (or the exact piece, if reasonably priced). Whether you’re searching for a sophisticated dress for attending an upcoming wedding, or you’re simply looking for something new to wear on your next date night, we’ve got you covered. 

While I can’t necessarily say that these ladies are here for the right reasons, why not spend some time breaking down their most iconic looks anyway? Without further ado, our most dramatic fashion breakdown yet: 

Ency Abedin

Even though we didn’t see much of Ency on Clayton’s season of The Bachelor, I must say that out of the ladies’ Instagram feeds, hers was among the most stylish. Not only is she absolutely stunning, but she also has an elegant and ultra-feminine fashion aesthetic worth noting.

Eliza Isichei

Eliza’s Instagram was nearly bare, but that didn’t stop me from finding her signature style I grew to admire from watching her on group dates. She has more of a relaxed, effortless style when it comes to pairing outfits and can make a pair of straight leg jeans look runway ready.

Lyndsey Windham

Another girl who was sent home far too early, Lyndsey’s style is simple, yet polished. I love how she pairs basic two-piece outfits with chic jackets to make a statement. In my opinion, Lyndsey comes across as a quintessential LA girl (even though she’s from TX), with a feed full of perfectly posed photos and a range of trendy looks.

Teddi Wright

Is anyone else shocked that Clayton sent Teddi home? I was convinced that she would be in the final three after witnessing their initial connection. Either way, it’s obvious why Clayton was drawn to her from the beginning. She’s breathtakingly beautiful, sweet, and can seemingly wear anything to perfection. At a glance, she appears to be primarily desert-focused on IG when it comes to outfits, but I loved seeing her dress up in glamorous silky gowns for the rose ceremonies.

Hunter Haag

Despite the fact that Hunter didn’t get nearly enough screen time, her outfits left a lasting impression. I loved her pull toward crop tops and her versatility when it came to dressing for each date. Her Instagram feed is full of distressed denim, so if you are searching for ideas on what to pair with your favorite mom jeans, her page is the place to look.

Sarah Hamrick

It seems as though Sarah has become quite the controversial contestant as of late, but that doesn’t take away from her ultra-stylish IG feed. It’s obvious that she’s already dressing the part of a Bachelor Nation influencer, but I can’t stop myself from admiring the outfit inspo she’s serving up nonetheless. Her aesthetic seems to be a mix between NYC street style and glamorous LA fashion.

Closing Thoughts

No matter how you’re feeling about Season 26 of The Bachelor, one thing I think we can all agree on is how stylish the ladies are. While I’m certainly rooting for Clayton to find the wife he's searching for, I’m also feeling grateful for the outfit inspiration to make tuning in each Monday more enticing.

With spring weddings and music festivals right around the corner, whether you’re searching for a dress for a special event or a casual combo for date night, hopefully our budget-friendly guide has helped inspire your next outfit for the occasion.
