Wrap Around Dress for a Fun Look

On days you want to sport a fun, flirty look, a wrap dress can be your go-to choice.

Wrap-around dresses are especially great for women with a heavier chest.

Add a Skater Dress to Your Wardrobe

Skater dresses are cool and stylish for summers. When the weather’s too hot and you can’t deal with fitted dresses, a skater dress is the perfect alternative.

Skater dresses are perfect for your day-to-night look as they can be dressed both – casually as well as formally. For a day look, pair your dress with tennis shoes and a hat; and for a formal, night look, switch you footwear to a pair of statement heels and add a statement piece of jewelry like danglers.

Denim Dresses Add the It-Factor to Your Wardrobe

Shift Dresses for a Cool and Comfy Summer Look

This one if for days we feel bloated because of the yummy summer delicacies. A shift dress is a straight fitted dress that will hang loosely from your shoulders and will not cinch around the waist. Shift dresses are for maximum comfort and airiness. Sometimes, shift dresses can make you look heavier and a little matronly. To avoid that, get a slightly tailored shift dress that accentuates your curves a little. Also, most shift dresses come in plain, solid colors. Try to buy one that has a fun, summery print and style it complimentary jewelry for an interesting, more alive look.

The best way to style a shirt dress is to wear them as is, with minimalistic jewelry and pair of flats. You can also wear your shirt dress as a beach cover-up for when you want to hit the sand for a chill, summer scene.
