Dresses have long been an indispensable staple of fashion. Wearable solo or layer with other pieces, they make up a critical piece for any wardrobe.
Fashion girls and experts agree that for a dress to qualify as essential, it must provide versatile wearability. While a special occasion gown covered in tulle can make an elegant addition, its value will diminish significantly if it can only be dressed up or down depending on your occasion.
Lace
Lace dresses make an excellent choice for many different events and occasions, from romantic date nights and brunch with friends and family members, to planning your wedding. Lace has become increasingly popular recently as brides reschedule their nuptials due to the pandemic. There are various types of lace fabrics and dresses, each having its own aesthetic: some may feel soft against your skin while others can feel scratchy against it; patterns can range from intricate to more simple designs.
Lace is an ideal summer choice, thanks to its air-flow-promoting holes and open spaces that help the breeze flow freely, keeping you cool and comfortable. Furthermore, lace has also been proven to protect against UV rays – something particularly helpful for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
Lace has an intricate history. Its development was determined by many factors, including travel and trade between noblemen, intermarriage between royal families, political upheavals, and its eventual global spread. Hand techniques were first employed when creating hand lace fabrics with silk or gold thread embroideries before machine-made lace production began and came in a wider variety of styles and designs.
If you want to wear a lace dress, it is essential that it is accessorized correctly with jewelry. Avoid flashy or overpowering pieces as these may overshadow the delicate fabric. Instead, opt for something light such as a light necklace to complement both your neckline and hairstyle; earrings that don’t overshadow can also work well as long as they’re not too large and intrusive.
Shoes should also complement your lace dress perfectly. Classic pumps or strappy heels can work with most styles of lace dresses, while flat or bootie style shoes might better compliment its color.
Little White Dress
The little white dress (LWD) is an indispensable component in every fashionista’s closet. Like its darker counterpart, the LBD, this adaptable piece transcends trends and seasons for versatile wearability. It captures summer’s joyful spirit beautifully while being ideal for garden parties, bridal showers or rehearsal dinners.
Add an eye-catching pop of color to elevate your LWD outfit by choosing vibrant shoes, accessories and/or lipstick that make an impactful statement. Neutrals often work best but try adding flare with unique stripes on sneakers or ditsy floral prints on purses for something different – the possibilities are limitless!
To create a casual summer look, pair your LWD with a wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses, finishing the outfit off with a straw tote bag and strappy sandals for extra style points. For formal events, accessorizing with pearls or statement necklaces adds a stylish edge.
White’s versatility makes it the perfect canvas to showcase your personal and style expression. For a more conservative approach, pair your LWD with neutrals such as black pumps, gray handbag, or tan jacket for an impressive and professional appearance that can come in handy when dressing for office events or graduation ceremonies.
If your white dress is composed of delicate fabric, such as lace, it’s essential that you follow all necessary care instructions in order to keep it looking its best. Be sure to wash it separately from other colored garments in order to prevent dye transference; opt for gentle detergent formulated specifically for white garments; air dry it or lay it flat on a padded hanger instead of tossing it in the dryer in order to prevent shrinkage and wrinkles.
