A special finishing touch can make all the difference in preparing an event. A range of products, including hats, fascinators, and decorative ribbons, can elevate your event’s aesthetic.
Featuring a timeless allure, midi dresses offer an ideal canvas for refined sophistication and sartorial expression.
Midi Length
The beauty of mid length dresses formal is that they work for any occasion, season, and style. They can be short and sweet or long and flowy, depending on the type you choose and how you dress them up or down with accessories.
A great way to elevate your look is with a hat, straw or woolen, fedora or floppy, plain or embellished. It all depends on what vibe you want and what outfit you’re wearing it for. For example, if you’re going to a wedding as a guest and don’t want to wear a formal gown, a T-length midi dress in a floral print with lace finishes will make the perfect choice.
Another way to style your midi dress is with heels, especially if you’re petite. This is because they help to elongate your legs and look taller.
Midi dresses are also a great option for working girls as they can be worn with closed-toe pumps or loafers to create a smart look. Pair them with a blazer or cardigan to ensure your dress is office-appropriate, and you’re ready!
Strapless
Strapless dresses are a staple for the wardrobes of women who love to flaunt their shoulders. These dresses can be worn for various occasions, from proms to weddings and even for work. However, they can be a bit tricky to wear without falling off, especially for those who don’t have a lot of experience wearing strapless gowns. Fortunately, there are some tips that you can follow to help prevent your dress from slipping and sliding.
Choose a heavier material that doesn’t budge easily. It will make it easier for your dress to grip your skin and stay up. Some dresses also have extra anti-budge reinforcements like elastic, rubber, or silicone tape. If your ensemble doesn’t have this, consider adding some yourself.
Choose the Right Neckline; make sure your neckline fits your bust size. A sweetheart neckline will be more difficult to keep up with a large bust, so opt for something more modest like a scoop or straight across the neckline.
Complete your look with the right shoes and accessories. A bold statement necklace is ideal for bringing a little glamour to any dress, while neutral heels or wedges will add versatility and allow you to easily go from day to night.
Bodycon
Bodycon dresses are a wardrobe staple for those who love to flaunt their curves. The term ‘bodycon’ is an acronym for “body conscious” and refers to the figure-hugging, form-fitting fabric that hugs a woman’s body like a second skin. The trend reached its peak in popularity during the 1990s thanks to TV shows that paved the way for newer materials that would mold and shape around a woman’s silhouette.
Although the word ‘bodycon’ has a negative connotation, thanks to the fact that many of us struggle with body-image issues, there is no doubt that these dresses are classy and elegant, especially when they are properly styled. For a more sophisticated look, opt for a black bodycon dress and add a pair of statement earrings and a chic clutch. You can also cinch the waist with a stylish belt or wrap a contrasting bandana in various colors and patterns around your waist to enhance your figure-hugging silhouette.
When choosing a bodycon dress for a formal occasion, it is important to consider the event’s dress code. In more conservative workplaces, a slinky backless bodycon dress may be regarded as inappropriate as it would leave little to the imagination. If you are still determining whether your bodycon dress is appropriate for the event, contact the organizer to find out what is acceptable.
A-Line
An A-line dress is a dress that is fitted up top and then gradually widens to the bottom, creating an “A” shape. This silhouette is ideal for any body type as it accentuates the waistline without overwhelming the bust and hips. A-line dresses are also great for defining the waist and creating a more tapered look to the figure.
These classic dresses come in various colors and fabrics that allow for customization to suit your unique style. You can wear them with a chic pair of heels or flats, depending on the occasion. Add a jacket or blazer to your outfit for more formal occasions.
You can choose from various accessories to match your A-line dress, including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Choosing the right jewelry for your outfit to compliment your dress and highlight your best features is important. You can also wear your hair up or down to complete the look, from sleek ponytails to beautiful braids. Choosing the right accessories and hairdo will make your A-line dress more appealing.
