Something Casual
To start this guide off, you need to invest in casual dresses. Dresses that can be worn to run errands, or to wear on a girls’ day out! Casual dresses are effortless – all you need is to throw them on!
Our Favourite Casual Dresses:
- The t-shirt dress: Love t-shirts? Well you’ll love a t-shirt dress! It can be thrown on with a pair of sneakers and voilà! Your outfit has been created! The super soft cotton also makes it a dream to wear in warmer weather, and when the evenings grow cold, you can layer your favourite jumper over the top.
- The strappy dress: The strappy maxi is not quite like the slip dress, it is crafted in t-shirt-like fabric and is a carefree alternative to your favourite maxi dresses. We love ones with a racer back in the summer for a lightweight and casual option.
- The skater dress: The skater dress can be casual or dressy according to the colour or print choice, and the shoes and accessories you opt for! The skater dress has a slight a-line flare to the skirt, and the bodice is flattering and will accentuate your curves.
The Little Black Dress
The little black dress is a piece you’ll treasure for years! Not only can they be worn in an office setting, but something a little fancier can be worn to an event or a party. Black is a flattering and timeless colour and can be paired with so many items from your closet. Opt for something with a little bit of sass, and a dash of sex appeal yet in a chic fit that will enhance your amazing figure.
The Showstopper
Every woman needs a dress that gives that “wow factor”. If you have a wedding or an event, then pull out all the stops and choose something daring, stylish and figure-hugging. We love being playful with our eveningwear by choosing sheer fabrics such as tulle, or feminine and sexy lace. The goal of this dress is to turn heads, and boy, we’re sure you’ll achieve this! This dress will be your secret weapon!
The Floral Dress
Floral dresses give a bohemian vibe that we just love all year round! We particularly love any floral maxi dresses with frills for a vintage vibe, that will make you look polished, even on those days you’ve just rolled out of bed. The beauty of floral dresses is that they can be mixed and matched – wear trainers with them during the day for a smart-casual vibe, and swap for heels in the evening for an elegant look!
