The great British summer is one of the best times of the year for fashion and looking fabulous. Long, hot days mean you can be more adventurous with your style and dare to bare more skin too. When the temperature dips wrap up in some of this season’s key looks.
Barbecues, summer parties and numerous weddings mean you will be looking for the perfect dress on more than one occasion. Have a look online and try out several different styles to really make the most of this season’s prettiest dresses.
This year dresses are all about length, with beautiful flowing maxi dresses and super tiny mini-skirts at either end of the spectrum. Choose which side of the two extremes you wish to rock this summer. Mini dresses and skirts are great for summer parties and showing off those lovely tanned pins. For a daytime look wear with cute pumps and a vest top or dress it up at night with killer heels to make the boys swoon. A figure flattering body con is a knock out look for that hot date. Remember the rule of thumb and only show skin on the bottom or top half, otherwise you could end up looking over the top. So team your mini skirt with a more covered up top for maximum wow factor.
The maxi dress is a great alternative if you want to cover up yet still look drop dead gorgeous. Tropical colours are perfect for the beach or for a more demure summer picnic look opt for a sophisticated black. Pattern is big news this season - think bright and bold - and stripes or floral patterns are very much on trend and look best worn with minimal accessories. As the sun goes down wrap up in a chunky knit cardigan and a wide rimmed hat, just like Kate Moss and Chloe Sevigny for the ultimate in laid back boho chic.
Hats, scarfs and chunky bangles are the best accessory for your chosen dress this season, and brightly coloured accessories can really make an outfit. Also choose a dress that flatters your shape, dressing for fashion is fun but your look will be truly timeless if you stay true to what suits you.
Whichever style you go for this summer, remember to wear your dress with confidence because anything looks good with a smile. And don’t forget girls, a lady can never have too many gorgeous dresses to choose from in their wardrobe.
