Fit & Flare Dresses
A fit & flare dress is often mistaken as a gown or frock, but it is generally a flowy dress silhouette featuring a fitted upper body with a full skirt or flared bottom part. These dresses are ubiquitous in summer and take various categories under them like sundresses, halter dresses, wrap dresses, etc. They are universally flattering because they display an hourglass shape, even when the women wearing them have different body types altogether. The fixed waist of the flared skirt part outlines the waistline perfectly while draping over the lower body. They are very popular for all kinds of weather and can be dressed for almost all occasions. For summertime midi fit & flare dresses, match a pair of stilettos, boots, snickers, or wedges. A couple of hoop earrings with a ponytail and a small sling bag is enough to accessorize it. However, you can style it a bit more with drop style earrings, chain necklaces or chokers, bracelets or watches, hats and scarves.
Wrap Dresses
After wrap around tops and tunics, wrap dresses have been gaining a lot of publicity lately. Majorly due to their ease of styling and comfortable fit while being a perfect option for summer party outfits. Wrap dresses also vary in length from short, midi to maxi ones, and differ in styles like sleeveless, full sleeve, half sleeve ones. You can pick your match from various fabrics too. To style your wrap dresses, you need necklaces and big earrings. A multi-layered gold chain necklace or a simple diamond pendant chain would be perfect. You can choose gold hoops, long-chain drops, dazzling danglers, shoulder dusters, or huge metallic studs for earrings. For short wrap dresses, go for boots or gladiators; for long ones, go for high heels. Avoid big handbags or sling bags with these kinds of dresses - a clutch or a mini bag can go well.
Strapless Dresses
For some women, wearing a strapless dress can be a little intimidating since there is a lot of exposed skin and often not much support in a certain way as a party dress - but don't let that stop you from rocking a strapless gown or dress at your special events. Strapless dresses can make you look extremely classy and trendy if worn and styled in the correct way. The first tip for wearing a strapless dress is to find the perfect strapless innerwear to match it. This step makes putting on and flaunting your attire a lot easier. Then go for heavy necklaces or a balanced number of party-wear jewellery pieces to accessorize your look. You can wear diamond drop earrings with a diamond bracelet or a dainty diamond necklace with cute solitaire studs. For typical parties, you can experiment your look with a choker and chained ear cuffs too. If your dress is short, then go for stilettos or pumps. And if it is a long one, then go for peep-toes or pencil heels as per your comfort. Avoid boots, snickers, or flats with these dresses.
