Day dresses are the perfect choice for any occasion whether it's a casual outing or a day at the office. If you're a beginner when it comes to shopping for day dresses, here's a quick guide to get you started.
Firstly, it's important to consider your body type. Different styles of day dresses are better suited to different body shapes, so think about what would flatter you best. If you have an hourglass figure, look for a dress with a defined waistline that follows the shape of your curves. If you're petite, look for something short and flattering with a slim silhouette. If you have broader shoulders, search for an A-line cut that will balance out your proportions.
Secondly, think about fabric. For a comfortable, breathable dress for the daytime, cotton, linen and silk are good choices. If you're looking for something formal, opt for heavier fabrics such as velvet or satin for a luxurious feel. If you want your dress to be wrinkle-free all day, stretch fabrics such as spandex blend or polyester blend might be your best bet.
Thirdly, look for the design elements that make the dress stand out. Consider features like ruffles, pleats, bows and lace to add texture and interest to the dress, or patterned prints for a fun, feminine touch. Color is another important factor – consider what would look great on you, whether it be a classic black dress or something more vibrant and bold.
Finally, accessorize your dress with the right shoes and jewelry. Flat, strappy sandals work great with a breezy summer dress, while stiletto heels will give it a more formal edge. As for jewelry, statement earrings and chunky bracelets tend to work well with day dresses.
Shopping for day dresses doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple tips, you'll be sure to find one that suits your style.
