Summer is the time for bright, bold and beautiful dresses. Summer outfits are perhaps the most favorite shopping item for gals. This year too is not an exception. To keep cool and at the same time to be modish and look cute, summer outfits this year have brought all the beauty with them. Expert stylists give tips about choosing summer outfits and accessories.
Dresses
If a particular dress looks cute on you, you should resist the temptation of repeating the pattern, color and style. Here are some suggestions about bringing a variety in your looks.
Bold Patterns: Tropical, geometrical or tribal patterns and prints are vogue. Go for big and bold, and just a bit of funky.
Flowy Fabric: There is no fixed set of fabric for the season. But its style is soft and flowy, instead of rigid or stiff which is popular for winter.
Ruching: Ruching is a sewing method that adds a little ruffle to dresses. This offers a draping effect that flatters most types of figures.
Bright Colors: Summer is for celebrating the sunshine. So, embracing hues like golden yellow, fiery red and cerulean blue adds more flamboyance.
Trench Dress: This shorter dress takes the look of a trench coat and converts it into a fitted dress when paired with an a-line skirt, finished with a belt around the waist.
Maxi: Maxi is a slimming dress that looks nice on just anyone, as it automatically attracts attention towards the length of the body, which adds to height.
Choosing the Perfect Dress
Here are some suggestions to choose the perfect dress for you according to your body type.
Pear-shaped – Pear shaped body is smaller at the top and broader at the bottom. You can choose:
Bodice: A detailed neckline or a halter shaped look.
Skirt: Preferably knee-length or even longer which will float around your figure.
Belt: Belt will show off the smallest part of your figure – waist.
Colors: Rather than solid white which offers you a puffalump look, go for multiple colors and interesting prints.
Hourglass – Hourglass figure is considered to be the perfect figure, with bust and hips of around the same size and a smaller waist.
Bodice: If you fall into busty category, choose halter style or sweetheart neckline.
Belt: This will definitely accent the slim waist.
Colors: Choose bright colors, like citrus ones – greens, bright oranges, etc.
Straight – Having no curves, a straight body has the most flexible alternatives for summer outfits, anyone of which looks great.
Bodice: Keep this fitted and for a smaller bust, try ruching which will create an illusion of curves.
Skirt: Longer skirts will look great on straight figures. A more fitted look or sheath dresses are worth considering too.
Belt: A belt will help you to create a curve.
Colors: Experts say that straight-figured ladies are lucky to be able to wear just any colors!
Summer is the opportunity to try on literally countless patterns and be bold to celebrate what you have! Enjoy the opportunity to the fullest.
