The little black dress is one of the eternal classics. It is introduced as mandatory for every female closet by the legendary Coco Chanel. According to fashion experts, the little black dress is the shortest road to achieving elegance. Its magic is in its eternity, simplicity and unadulterated charm. It gives an impression of style and class. This is why we will not be wrong to crown the little black dress as the queen of all dresses.

There are a few rules when it comes to wearing the little black dress. They were laid down by Coco Chanel herself in the early 20s of the 20th century. According to these rules the dress has to cover the knees, it has to be clean of all embroidery or decorations and it has to be worn in combination with thin black stockings and closed shoes. As for the jewels, they have to be simple and delicate.

These rules continue to apply almost a century later, giving the little black dress the leading position among all other stylish and elegant dresses that the fashion world has come up with. Enjoy the eternal magic of the little black dress and the unique feeling of unfading elegance it is sure to give you.

The uneasy task of choosing an evening gown

Evening events are among the most romantic and exquisite in a woman’s life. Events that require a special dress code do not happen every day, which is why you should take selecting an outfit seriously. Evening gowns come in various shapes and looks and are the best means for a woman to attract attention to herself.

When choosing an evening gown, you will do well to take into consideration some of the latest fashion trends. The discrete sequin decoration has been in style for a few years now. Sequins can give a formal look even to a seemingly casual dress. Their color can either be the same as the color of fabric or it can contrast with it. Different colors of sequins can also be combined in a single dress. The best arrangement for an evening gown, however, is that of black sequins with a silvery glow on a black dress. Lighting in the evening is peculiar and gives the sequins a special shimmering charm, attracting everyone’s attention to the forms of the body wearing them. This is why they should be avoided by ladies who are not in their fittest shape.

A shiny silvery, golden or platinum dress is also a very glamorous choice. With such a gown you will look like a diamond sparkling in the dark. Shiny metallic dresses can support a very minute amount of jewelry. If you can’t help yourself, wear a ring, earrings or a few bracelets, but whatever you do, keep your neck clear of necklaces and pendants. The metallic dress is best worn without any jewelry.

A dress in pink or beige tones is also an excellent choice for a formal event. Such a dress has an exquisite, stylish look and the woman wearing it glows with soft femininity. This dress should be worn with light makeup while the hair should be arranged in a gentle feminine style. Bright attention-getting details are unnecessary. The purse and shoes should be in harmony with the dress. The best fabric for a dress like this is the soft smooth silk.

If you want to look slimmer in your evening gown, choose one with an empire waistline. The trapezoid skirt of this dress will hide wider hips and buttocks, while a deep neckline will broaden your shoulders. The high-waist dress should not be short or too wide, because this will make the woman wearing it look pregnant. When the dress has an Empire waist, this draws attention to the upper part of the body and makes you look taller. Wear high heels with such a gown.

The short-sleeved dress

Short-sleeved dresses can be either formal or casual depending on their design and the fabric they are made of, but when talking about garments with short sleeves, the image that comes to mind is mostly that of the casual summer dress. It is an elegant and feminine dress very suitable for the warm summer days when it is inappropriate to show too much skin with a spaghetti strap dress or a dress with bare shoulders. In the office or the workplace many women feel the need to be elegant and stylish without being provocative and that is exactly when they can employ the use of the short-sleeved dress. It is a very modest tool for creating the charming feminine glow women are allowed to have at the office.

Dresses are basically the favorite piece of clothing for every woman and we would be happy to wear them every day. Contemporary fashion offers such a great variety that this is no longer impossible. Today we can choose between winter or summer dresses, casual or formal, sexy or modestly feminine like the short-sleeved dress.

Short-sleeved dress models are so numerous that they will easily add diversity to your wardrobe. The most popular cuts look like a long top or shirt which is slightly outspread from the waist down. The varieties for everyday use are typically made from soft natural materials that gently drape around your curves or airy materials that slide like a gentle veil around your body. The short dresses with short sleeves create a sensation of gentle, almost girlish purity. They bring memories of our childhood dresses in which we spent some of the best and most fun moments of our lives. This is how the short-sleeved dress combines a mature elegance and comfort with a beautiful simple innocence. Of course the short-sleeved dress can also be extremely sexy, especially if it accentuates on your bust or legs. You can extend the effect of such a dress by wearing shoes with very high heels.

What to keep in mind when choosing a dress

It is true that every woman wants to look beautiful and stylish even if some of them won’t admit to it. The selection of clothes and accessories has a detrimental influence on that.

Without a doubt dresses are the most spectacular of feminine clothes. This is why when the desire for beauty and elegance overtakes a woman the dress is her top choice. But this choice needs to be made with taste and knowledge. Here you will find three guidelines to consider when buying a dress.

First, when buying a dress you have to take in to account your own figureand whether the dress model you have your eye on will flatter or distort your body. Tight, clinging dresses are suitable for slim ladies only. Larger ladies should go for a dress whose skirt has more volume and ruffle. Likewise, long dresses are great for tall women while petite ladies will have to go for the mini or knee-length dresses.

The rule in fashion as in many other areas is that defects should be concealed while advantages should be highlighted. This is why if you are blessed with a large chest you should choose a dress with a more open neckline. If you are lucky enough to have a thin waist, wear a dress with a spreading skirt which is tightened at the waist with a belt.

The second important thing to think about when selecting a dress is the color. You have to choose a nuance that will go with your complexion as well as your hair and eye color. Women with pale complexions should not wear pale pastel tones, while red-headed ladies should be very careful when choosing clothes in pink, fuchsia or purple. The black dress is one of the all-time favorites for all women because it always looks elegant and stylish, but sometimes the occasion calls for a brighter, more vibrant color such as orange, yellow or bright-red. Such colors have the advantage of drawing attention.

And last but not least, the dress you select should be in sync with all the accessories you want to wear with it. If you like large jewelry or exotic accessories, you have to choose a dress with a simple clean cut. If you do not plan on wearing jewelry, you can compensate with a diverse, interesting dress with many decorative elements.

What to wear to a garden party

One of the best things about summer is the open-air parties. What can be better than to chat with friends, dance and enjoy a good drink under the stars?

Garden parties can have different atmosphere and settings. They can be a casual hang-out in the yard of a friend, a wedding or a formal garden event. If the party is completely casual, you can wear whatever catches your fancy.

If you have a dress code

If there is a written invitation and a certain dress code is specified in it you will have to adhere to its requirements. This should not worry you in the least. There are plenty of articles on the Internet which describe what every dress code entails. A quick search will show that sometimes there are contradictions in the instructions coming from different sources. Sometimes in interpreting the requirements of a dress code, some specialists would allow for example dark denim jeans, while others are definitely against it. Whenever such contradictions arise, it is always better to choose the classic side in order to avoid feeling uncomfortable at the event.

Often at the mention of a garden party our imagination creates an associated image of frivolous dress. As we saw above, this is not always the case. It is important to find the balance between the snobbish legalism and rigid adhering to the rules and defying the rules altogether. Regardless of what the dress code requirements are, moderation should always be a top priority. In this way whatever you decide to wear you will not feel uncomfortable or out of place.

If there is no specified dress code

If your garden party invitation does not specify a certain dress code you have more freedom of dress, but this often makes the choice harder rather than easing it. The most important thing to keep in mind is the nature of the event. You will not wear to a wedding what you would wear to a business event. The time of day the party will take place is also important. If it is during the day, then a fresh summer suit will suffice, while an evening event requires wearing a dress. The dress can be long or knee-length, in bright or gentle colors, with or without floral patterns, but definitely without needless tackiness. White pants with a fresh airy top or tunic is also a great solution.

In all cases

It is good to know that high-heels may not be the best idea for this sort of parties. Your heel may sink in the soft lawn and make your movements look awkward. Platforms or flat shoes are the tested and approved leaders for garden parties. However, they have to be elegant, not sporty, beach shoes or everyday shoes. If you do not have suitable flats or platform shoes, then it is better that you risk small heels then ruin your whole look with un-matching shoes.

It is also advisable that you bring a light jacket, especially if the party is going to be in the evening. This will keep you not only from the evening chill but will also keep biting insects at bay. It goes without saying that this jacket has to be in sync with the rest of your outfit. An airy, transparent shawl will do perfectly if you do not have a suitable jacket. And as for insect repellents, avoid spraying them all over yourself at the event. Do this at home if the product you’re using does not have a strong and distinctive smell. Make sure that you do not create a hideous combination of perfume and insect repellent.

Finally give some thought to the purse you will be using. A large, bulky purse will be somewhat cumbersome. You will need a clutch purse or better yet a purse with a long strap which will give your hands more freedom, so that you can easily hold a glass or dish, shake hands with friends or meet new people.

Whatever your decision is, once you are at the event forget about your doubts and have fun. Don’t think about what you could have worn or should have done, unless you want to spoil your evening. Enjoy your garden party, that’s what you are there for.

Popular wedding gown styles

When choosing your wedding gown, the things you should take into consideration are fashion trends, your own preferences and the dress line which will bring out the advantages of your figure. The basic lines are: Mermaid, Princess, Sheath, Empire, A-line and Ball Gown.

The A-line silhouette

It is the most popular and common dress style. The dress line resembles the letter A, tightly following the curves of the body in the upper part of it and gradually flaring from the waist down. This style is suitable for most female body types.

The Ball Gown silhouette

This style resembles the A-line but the skirt is thicker and more flamboyant and falls more freely to the ground. Usually this dress is very wide. It is suitable for brides with tight hips. Short brides should avoid this model because it will make them completely obscure.

The Mermaid or Trumpet silhouette

This dress is tight and clinging to the body all the way down to the knees (for the Mermaid line) or the middle of the hip (for the Trumpet line) where the skirt flares dramatically. This style is suitable for thin women who wish to highlight the curves of their body. It should be avoided by short women or women with pronounced hips.

The Princess silhouette

This dress model is suitable for all female body types; it resembles the A-line but instead has vertical seams which start at the shoulder or the sleeve and follow the length of the whole dress all the way to the hem. These vertical seams highlight the curves and give the body a slimmer look.

The Sheath silhouette

This is a dress model that clings tightly to the body. If you want to hide a few extra pounds or a pregnancy, this is not the style you’re looking for because it either strictly follows the curves of the body all the way from top to bottom or falls straight down from the shoulders to the hem. It is suitable only for women in good shape. This model elongates the body but can also be worn by taller women.

The Empire silhouette

A wonderful model for short women, this style has a raised waistline which is placed directly below the bust and usually continues downward with a thin skirt. The combination of a high waist with a flaring skirt gives the impression of a tall and slim figure.
