Basic summer dresses, Pick a beautiful dress

As I grow up, I don’t like summer as much as I did when I was a kid. The scorching sun not only makes people feel unbearable, but ultraviolet radiation is also an important cause of aging. Alas, even though the sun is shining outside, I still don’t want to go out! A light dress is the only reason to fall in love with summer. When I think of the wonderful summer dresses, I always imagine myself wearing a dress and swaying gracefully. After all, if you miss this summer, you will have to wait another year before you can wear a dress freely.

In order not to waste precious summer time, every dress in your wardrobe must stand the test. Before buying, you might as well take a look at the key points of wearing various types of dresses to ensure that every dress you buy can maximize your beauty.

Of course, a list of dresses will also be provided! Let’s be smart shoppers with good looks and brains~

1. How to choose color?

There are so many styles of skirts on the market now, solid colors, stripes, prints… Dresses of different colors and patterns will have a great impact on a person’s temperament. Wearing a dress with good texture and good design will seem to improve a person’s self-confidence.

What color dress is the most worth buying this summer? How can you wear a dress of different colors to look good? Don’t worry, we will solve these problems one by one!

• Solid color dress

Many people think that solid color dresses are more plain, especially basic colors such as black, white, and gray, which can be worn by most people. In fact, solid color dresses are far from being as easy to control as everyone imagines.

For most girls, what is the biggest trouble of wearing solid color dresses? Too monotonous! Because the solid color dresses are very simple in design, they look a bit dull and can easily give people the feeling of “wearing a piece of cloth”.

What to do? If there are some small embellishments such as hollowing and lace , it will add a little playfulness while maintaining simplicity , and the sense of detail is perfect▼

In addition, compared with solid-color tops or bottoms, solid-color dresses are too large. If you choose a color that doesn’t suit you, it will turn out to be a disaster, and there is no way to save it with other accessories. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing a solid-color dress!

Which dresses are easy to wear and are a must-have for summer?

▍White dress

In the hot summer, every girl’s wardrobe must have a fairy-like white skirt . Not only is it suitable for most occasions, but the refreshing white color also seems to cool down visually, giving you a cool summer▼

White girls can wear white dresses without any scruples. If you have a yellowish or slightly dark complexion, you need to spend more time to choose a white dress that suits you. Generally speaking, a white dress with a lower brightness and not too white is the best match for yellow girls▼

▍Light -colored dress

If you feel that a white dress is too monotonous, you can try a light-colored dress, which also matches the freshness of summer. What kind of light color is a must-have? Look for light purple and light blue ! ▼

I especially recommend the light blue dress, which is exclusive for summer! The light blue dress made of chiffon fabric is light and elegant , with a strong marine style; while the light blue dress made of cotton and linen fabric is simply the synonym of freshness , and girls who follow the literary route will definitely like it▼

• Printed dress

“Printing” does not only refer to dresses with flower patterns, but also dresses with polka dots, portraits and other patterns. The range is very wide! Unlike solid color dresses, printed dresses have their own highlights, so you don’t have to worry about looking boring. As long as you choose the right style, it will be more colorful than a solid color dress in minutes▼

Many people think that traditional dresses with floral prints are a bit picky. It is true. If the prints on the dress are too big, it will look old-fashioned and not fashionable at all. If the prints on the dress are too small and arranged too closely, it will feel very rural and earthy.

What kind of prints are the easiest to pull off? Just remember two criteria: medium-sized patterns and sparsely arranged patterns.

Combined with the light fabrics of summer, it looks very feminine▼

In addition to printed skirts, polka dots are also particularly popular this year !

Large polka dots have a significant expansion effect, which may make the figure look bigger, and are not friendly to slightly fat girls. In contrast, a dress with sparsely distributed small polka dots is much more delicate . Wearing it, you can cope with all kinds of occasions with ease~

When worn alone , it is very sweet ; with a hooded jacket , it turns into a lively and beautiful girl! ▼

If the black dress with white dots has a bit of personality, then the white dress with black dots is much gentler in comparison . Therefore, if you look closely, you will find that on the market, compared with the black dress with white dots, the white dress with black dots usually uses softer chiffon fabric ▼

• Striped dress

If you want to talk about the most classic element, of course, stripes are indispensable! The most classic ones are black and white, blue and white stripes , which can be cool and gentle , and can switch seamlessly between various styles. You can go wrong with them▼

Recommended items

If you are already familiar with the most common black and white/blue and white stripes, then you can try another popular style this year – colorful stripes.

Compared to the elegant black and white/blue and white stripes, the colorful stripes are not so formal, but more casual and relaxed. A bright colorful stripe will be particularly eye-catching when walking on the street▼

• Plaid dress

Since last fall and winter, plaid has completely reversed its trend, from being a synonym for old-fashioned to a fashionable element that everyone has to wear. Even if you haven’t bought one yet, your friends must have one.

However, the Prince of Wales and Scottish plaids that are popular in autumn and winter are too orthodox and too dignified to be used in summer clothing design. Black and white plaids , with simple colors, are the first choice for summer wear▼

Like the blue and white stripes, the black and white checkered dress is also versatile! Because it has a hint of rural pastoral style , the ” black and white checkered + straw bag ” is full of strong French style , lazy and elegant▼

Wearing black and white plaid to the workplace is also very generous. Compared with pure black or pure white, it has a little more playfulness, and the color will not look messy. It is very suitable for wearing a generous and not rigid workplace style▼

2. How to choose the pattern?

As we all know, different body shapes have different requirements for clothing. If you have a perfect body shape, you can wear any kind of dress without any worries. However, if you have some minor flaws like me, you must choose a dress with the right shape to achieve the best effect.▼

• A-line dress

A-line dresses are just like their name, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and are shaped like an A-line skirt. They are quite common in life and are easy to understand.

There are two common types of A-line dresses, depending on the width and narrowness.

One is that the upper body is more slim, with a clear waistline and most of them have a high waist design. The skirt starts to spread out from the waist, and the lower body is A-shaped▼

Another type of A-line dress does not emphasize the waist design, but the entire skirt from top to bottom forms an A-line shape. This type of A-line dress is usually short above the knee, full of girlishness, and very friendly to petite girls▼

Zhou Dongyu often wears this kind of A-line skirt. Her small frame is very suitable for this kind of clothes▼

It is no exaggeration to say that the A-line dress is definitely the most body-shaping item in summer~▼

Especially for pear-shaped figures, it can well cover up the shortcomings of wide hips and thick thighs, revealing slender arms and calves, covering up flesh and making you look thinner, with first-class effect~

Some A-line skirts will be modified at the hem , adding designs such as fishtails and ruffles. Although this kind of design will make the A-line skirt look more detailed, it also lowers the visual center of gravity and can easily suppress the height.

Therefore, when we buy A-line skirts, it is best to choose a simple silhouette without too many decorations. If the skirt has a fishtail or ruffle design, be careful not to make it too long , otherwise it will easily make you look like a harpy.▼

• Straight skirt

Like A-line skirts, straight skirts also have different looseness and the feeling they present is also very different.

Let’s take a look at the slim straight skirt first! The slim straight skirt has an intellectual and generous temperament. It is elegant without much decoration and is especially suitable for office workers.▼

If you are confident about your figure, you can choose a straight skirt with soft fabric and close fitting to highlight your exquisite curves; if you want to look more capable, a straight skirt with stiff fabric and overall H-shaped is the most suitable choice for you▼

In contrast, a slightly loose straight skirt has a more casual feel.

I strongly recommend ” loose dress + flat sandals/canvas shoes” , which can create a casual and chic look in minutes. If you can add some small accessories such as hats and watches, it will look even more stylish▼

I have kept this street shot of Sun Feifei wearing a loose straight skirt in my phone for a long time. This outfit is clean and neat, and the skirt looks handsome. It is simply a model of loose straight skirt matching ▼

3. Short sleeves or sleeveless?

Dresses with different sleeve lengths give different looks. Girls who usually dress boldly can go for sleeveless dresses or suspender dresses. If you are not used to showing your arms completely, short-sleeved dresses are also a good choice.

The length of the sleeves of a dress is also an important factor that affects the beauty of the dress! Paying attention to the length of the sleeves and the width of the cuffs can add points to your dress outfit in detail▼

• Short sleeve dress

Even if you are a very thin girl, your arms will become loose if you lack effective exercise. Although others may not be able to see it, you always feel that you have arm fat and are embarrassed to show your arms. At this time, short-sleeved or mid-sleeved dresses become the first choice to cover up the fat▼

Compared with sleeveless dresses, traditional short-sleeved dresses are more difficult to wear in a fashionable way. Especially this kind of half-length sleeves , the length is just below the shoulders, which is not friendly to girls with bat wings. Moreover, this kind of sleeves are more mature.▼

What kind of sleeves are the most suitable for everyone? It is definitely the style below with loose sleeves and tight cuffs ! Whether the arms are thick or thin, they can all be covered. Such sleeves are mostly seen on shirt dresses▼

Recommended items

This type of sleeves is also often seen in the popular one-shoulder dresses in recent years. If you have some fat on your arms, but your collarbone and neck lines are very beautiful, this one-shoulder dress is definitely a good choice for modifying your figure▼

However, the off-shoulder dress also has its disadvantages. Most of the off-shoulder dresses on the market are relatively loose, and the exposed shoulders make them look a bit “puffy” and bulky. If paired with light, thin kitten heels, the shoes seem to be unable to support the dress, which looks a bit out of harmony.

Therefore, when wearing a one-shoulder dress, you must pay attention to balancing the volume of the upper and lower body!

The skirt on the left is more voluminous, so it can be matched with mules to balance the upper and lower body; while the skirt on the right is lighter, so it is fine to match it with shallow-mouthed shoes. Use shoes to adjust the balance of the upper and lower body to avoid giving people a top-heavy feeling.▼

• Sleeveless dress

For girls with slender arms, sleeveless dresses are worth a try▼

▍If you want to be dignified and generous: waist-length dress

Sleeveless dresses reveal more skin, so if you want to be dignified and generous, the neckline needs to be conservative. The following dresses all have shallow necklines and are just knee-length , which are very dignified and intellectual, and are very suitable for the workplace▼

▍If you want to be casual: suspender dress

In contrast, suspender dresses have a more casual temperament. Are you worried that you can’t hold the sexy style of thin straps? In fact, you can look at suspender dresses with thick straps and square necklines.

At the same time, when wearing a skirt in summer, you must grasp the degree of skin exposure! Therefore, the length of the skirt is also crucial. For a suspender dress, the skin is already exposed. So, if you want to be less sexy and more casual, it is best to choose a long skirt that reaches the ankles▼

Dresses can be said to be synonymous with feminine charm. No matter how much a girl likes simple T-shirts and shorts, there is always a place for dresses in her heart.

There is no season more suitable for wearing dresses than summer. There are so many styles of dresses, such as printed ones, slit ones, and suspenders, and we want to try every one of them. However, only the dress that suits you can be the one that is stable and eternally beautiful.
