Summer definitely encourages wearing dresses, as they're perfect for hot days when you don't want to wear too many layers. However, with so many choices, finding the perfect summer dress can be a challenge.
Find out how to choose the right style for your body type, what materials to pay attention to, and how to style summer dresses to avoid boredom!
How to choose a summer dress to suit your figure?
Start your search for a dress by knowing what you expect from it and what effect you want, then write down its features and use these criteria to find the perfect one.
Every woman, regardless of size, can look great in dresses. The secret is to accentuate your figure's strengths and balance out any figure imbalances . Pay attention to these details that will make you look even better in a dress:
- V-neckline , which beautifully lengthens the neck, highlights the collarbones and exposes the bust,
- A flared bottom that accentuates the waist, hides the hips and balances the broad shoulders
- A belt at the waist that evens out proportions and slims the silhouette,
- A tie at the neck that beautifully exposes the shoulders and arms and draws attention from the hips to the top of the figure,
- ¾ sleeves that accentuate the wrists, giving the silhouette a light feel.
💡 Keep in mind that accessories such as puffs, ruffles, frills or various applications will effectively draw attention away from places we prefer to hide.
A dress cut that is perfect for almost any occasion and figure is a fitted knit dress , which can be the base of an outfit or its background, e.g. under a jacket or a looser shirt thrown over it.
What summer dresses should you choose?
When browsing offers from many stores, it's worth paying attention to the material type. Breathable fabrics like cotton, viscose, linen, or modal are excellent choices because they provide high comfort.
Summer is a great time to experiment with colors and patterns! During vacation, we often have plenty of opportunities to wear something completely different than our everyday outfits. Light shades like pastels or white are perfect for summer, as they reflect the sun's rays and contrast nicely with a tan. More saturated colors, on the other hand, are a great break from the dress code at work.
How to style a summer dress in an interesting way?
A dress is an outfit in itself ! Choosing the right accessories to complete the look is crucial. For more elegant occasions , leather flip-flops or heeled sandals are perfect.
For everyday summer wear, espadrilles or canvas loafers will elevate the look. A basket bag will also add a touch of summer flair, and a minimalist hat will not only be a stylish accessory but also protect you from harmful sunlight. For a casual vibe, you can throw a loose shirt , an oversized blazer , or a beach cover-up over your summer dress. Don't forget about jewelry , which will shimmer in the sun and add a touch of class.
We believe summer dresses are a must-have in every woman's wardrobe! Why? They're easy to style and suitable for many occasions . However, when choosing your perfect dress, remember that it should, above all, accentuate your assets and personality, so you can feel like you're wearing a "second skin" 🫶🏼
