Dress to Impress

We’ve chosen the most feminine item in a girl’s wardrobe the dress! While some stores feature new collections, others have last season’s pieces on sale. The looks we’ve put together are a mix of both.

THE MINI
Despite its short length, the mini dress is a good option for women of all ages. If your passport shows that you’ve watched too many world cups, take a look at your body shape. If it says ‘hot mama’, go for it!
The accessories you team up with the look will define your style. So if you want to go for a ladylike flair, the look above will do the job. However if you pair it with black accessories, a leather biker jacket and black boots, you’ll have a rock n’ roll vibe going on.

THE MIDI
Mid-calf is the fashionable length of the moment. A tighter version, like in this look, is better for those with a fit body. If you are a fan of Kim Kardashian’s style and don’t mind flaunting your curves, then go for it! A printed piece calls more attention. A dark or solid colour delivers a subtle effect. Looser dresses in the same length are a good casual option for any body shape. If you are not tall, opt for heels.

THE MAXI
While the ankle length is best for long dresses and skirts, it’s important to check if it isn’t tight at the hem. Printed options are cool this season. To get creative, fetch fabrics with unique patterns and get them stitched in a style of your preference at a trusted tailor.

Keep accessories to the minimum. Pick one which will stand out, like the shawl, and which carries the same colour of the dress.
