How To Find The Perfect Summer Dress

From mini dresses to maxis and everything in between, the perfect summer dress should not only look ultra chic, it should also keep you breezy and comfortable. Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping:

  • Take careful note of the fabric of the garment. Linen and cotton summer dresses are top picks for balmy weather, given their ability to keep you cool while giving an air of polish.
  • Make sure your dresses fit comfortably, not too tight or too loose.
  • Pick a colour that makes you feel good! Summer is a great time to experiement with new colours. Find one that makes you radiate confidence!

Lastly, find a dress you love! The best style for you is one that you feel comfortable and confident in!

 

How To Style Summer Dresses

Once you have your own unique dress collection, the styling opportunities are endless! Whether it's a shopping trip, dinner date or beach day on the schedule, you can easily dress them up or down depending on the occasion. Here are a few ways to style a summer dress:

Casually: For a casual, everyday look, wear a summer dress with a pair of flat sandals or sneakers and add a tote bag!

Formally: For a more formal or dressy look, wear a summer dress with heels or strappy sandals. Add a statement necklace or earrings for a touch of elegance.

Street: You can also give your summer dress an edgy look by pairing it with sneakers.

Bohemian: For a bohemian-inspired look, wear a flowy, printed summer dress with a pair of strappy sandals. Add a wide-brimmed hat and a woven bag to complete the look.

Beachy: For a beachy, laid-back look, wear a white summer dress with some slides. Add a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for a touch of vacation vibes.

Keep in mind that the best way to style a curvy summer dress is to have fun with it and find what works best for you. You can also experiment with different accessories, shoes and jewellery to play around with the look.

How To Wear Summer Dresses In Winter

The weather getting a little chilly? Don't pack your curvy summer dresses away just yet! We will show you how to style summer dresses in the winter.

Layering: One way to wear summer dresses in winter is to layer them with warm clothing. Pop a long sleeved tee or turtleneck underneath your slip dresses or wear tights with your mini dresses.

Cover Up: Another way to wear summer dresses in the winter is to wear them as layers underneath thicker clothing, such as sweaters, jackets or coats.

Accessorise: You can also accessorize with scarves, hats, gloves, and knee high boots to complete the look and keep you warm.

Ultimately, the key is to mix and match different items in your wardrobe to create looks that are both stylish and warm, and to find the right balance of layers to keep you comfortable in the colder weather.
