White dress - elegance of the highest measure

In 2016, the white dress finally went beyond the "holiday". Now it can and should be worn not only at a wedding or prom, but also in everyday life. To do this, designers in their collections have created a number of models for every taste. However, do not forget that dazzling white categorically does not fit the “spring” and “autumn” color types, so if you decide on such an experiment, stock up on a scarf of a suitable shade, otherwise you are guaranteed a painful face. Due to its neutrality, white color is combined with almost all shades.

In the variety of models of this season, white lovers will be able to find a suitable dress for literally any occasion.

A pencil dress (or "sheath") is traditionally a must-have for office workers and civil servants. It is discreet, but suitable for almost any type of figure, advantageously emphasizing female forms. The combination of such a dress model with a jacket remains popular, which in this case can be both contrasting and in pastel colors.Classic on the one hand and revolutionary non-standard on the other will be a set of a white dress, a black jacket and pumps to match the jacket.

T-shirt dress is one of the most modern elements of casual style. Despite its simplicity, it gained popularity only recently, when designers turned to the fashion of the 1980s. At that time, such clothes became a symbol of freedom and democracy (largely thanks to Katherine Hamnett, who in 1984 put on a T-shirt dress with a political slogan against American military bases in England and appeared in this form at an official reception with the Prime Minister). Now the shirt dress can be found in various variations - from mini to floor-length models. Shorter options are well suited for walking, shopping, etc. A long dress is more versatile - it is quite possible to wear it as an evening dress. It will look especially impressive with high-heeled sandals.

Not a single lover of military or cowboy style can do without a shirt dress. It can be worn with both leggings and jeans. In this case, boots or ankle boots, as well as a wide-brimmed hat, will look great. Massive jewelry (earrings, pendants, bracelets) will not be superfluous - minimalism in this case is not at all necessary and is even contraindicated.

The off-the-shoulder "cocoon" model is a versatile item all year round. It favorably emphasizes the hourglass figure and is a must-have purchase for owners of a pronounced waist. However, if for all your thinness you have a fairly wide waist and narrow hips, you should carefully choose dresses of a similar cut, and even better, give preference to straighter silhouettes.

Dresses with an open back are a versatile model, best suited for an evening dress or a walk in the warm season. Its main advantage is that by removing your hair to the back of your head and exposing your back, you can complement the image with a spectacular necklace that will show you in a winning light from all sides. In this case, the best option would be to choose a floor-length dress with a small neckline.

Designers this year offer a huge number of models that you can wear as a summer outfit. Particularly comfortable are light fabrics and lace elements that will not tire you too much in the hottest weather.

A sheath dress with a peplum does not lose its popularity. This is a stylish element that is essential in every city girl's wardrobe. It is not a shame to show up in the office, visit an expensive restaurant or just walk along the central streets of the city, complementing the image with a clutch and high-heeled shoes.

A white dress with a train is something that not everyone dares to wear to reach the store. However, a dress with a short skirt in front and a short train will be a great solution for a summer outfit.For such a case, it is best to choose a dress made of light fabric or a two-layer one - with an overskirt made of chiffon or excelsior. Don't forget to complete the look with a narrow contrast strap and heeled sandals.

A white dress with a fluffy skirt is traditionally associated with a wedding, so only the most daring girl can dare to wear it even as an evening dress. Please also note that such a model, designed to emphasize the "royal" chic, requires an intricate hairstyle and thoughtfulness of the whole image as a whole.

Shuttlecocks became popular in the 19th century and continue to appear on the catwalk again and again. If you are the owner of excessively narrow shoulders and wide hips, this is a good find for you. The ruffles on the model with a tight skirt make the silhouette balanced, and the length of the skirt here depends solely on your desire and your goals.

A sleeveless dress is an essential part of your summer wardrobe. It is not so important how long it will be, but be sure to pay attention to the material - the less synthetics it contains, the more comfortable the dress will be when worn in hot weather. Also, do not forget that in the open sun your hands will be affected by ultraviolet rays, but this can be corrected with a bolero, cape or shawl. Against the background of a plain white floor-length dress, a shawl with a complex and bright pattern will look great.

Short sleeve - a combination of beauty and convenience. It simultaneously covers the shoulders and can serve as an additional decoration (especially if curly cuffs or lace are present), while opening up space for imagination when choosing accessories. Pay attention to bracelets and gloves, as well as an interesting trend - a slave bracelet (a bracelet and a ring connected by a chain).

A long sleeve usually limits the use of bracelets, but the presence of a neckline allows you to make up for this shortcoming with an interesting necklace or pendant. Also, don't forget rings and earrings. And for a summer look, anklets and slave bracelets are also perfect.

Blue is the color of the sky, and the combination of blue and white is traditionally associated with cloudy skies. By choosing this combination, you can create a gentle and sophisticated look. Perfectly complement his accessories in yellow shades.

White, despite its apparent neutrality, is a fairly bright color. It looks great with any primary color (red, blue and yellow), but no more than one. Therefore, when choosing a red and white combination, you should not use blue and yellow, it is better to give preference to softer colors that will become the background for the duet of white and red.

Preferring a white dress with bright red flowers, do not forget that in itself it is already actively attracting the eye, which means that you need to select accessories especially carefully.It can be red shoes and a red handbag to match the pattern, or you can give preference to more neutral shades - flesh, beige, soft pink, black or gray. But beware of using other bright colors - they will compete with red and white. In this case, the image must be in harmony with the style and the general message, otherwise there is a risk of slipping into vulgarity.

Another trend of the season is a print with cherries. It is on a white background that a steamy sprig of these berries with leaves looks most vivid and appetizing. The print can be both photographic and drawn - it all depends on your choice in favor of one or another style. In the first case, the image will come out more romantic and sensual (but invariably with a twist that such a print gives). In the second case, if you give preference to a short fitted dress, a playful “girl” will come out. Do not forget to get the appropriate accessories - for example, earrings in the form of the same cherries will be very useful.

A small floral print is perfect for young, petite girls, it will emphasize their main advantages - youth and freshness. In turn, older ladies should give preference to larger prints.

Thanks to the sensational history of the dress, which seemed either white and gold, or black and blue, models such as "sheath" or "pencil" of similar combinations and close ones became very popular. Therefore, if you want to be on trend and have a good sense of humor (get ready for jokes about your image!) this dress will be a good choice. However, it is not at all necessary to be limited to only horizontal stripes.Thin girls with an angular skeletal system are perfect for geometric patterns, and owners of rounded shapes can pay attention to watercolor gradients and patterns that repeat their natural lines.

The rose is truly the queen of flowers. It is a recognized symbol of love, passion and fatal beauty. A dress with large red roses, unlike other red and white prints, requires an appropriate attitude - it is least suitable for everyday wear, but in an evening look it will allow you to shine and fascinate.

Red and white stripes are another trendy print option. In this case, there is no need for a belt (and most often it is not desirable at all). Angled and wide stripes from the 1980s will help create a retro look, pairing wonderfully with chunky glasses in red, white or black frames.

When choosing a mini dress, always first of all pay attention to the quality and density of the material, as well as to the cut of the dress. Unlike floor-length dresses, a short length allows you to make the dress a backdrop and shift the focus to other elements of the image. For example, you can safely wear over the knee boots, massive shoes, add a bright scarf and handbag. In addition, a short white dress of sports or street style will perfectly complement light blue jeans or bright leggings.

Dresses of medium length are absolutely universal (especially if they are of a classic cut).They can be worn literally anywhere, and it all depends on your preferences and related factors - such as dress code, cultural traditions and the class of the event you plan to attend. At the same time, you can easily correct any shortcomings with the help of additional accessories and other items of clothing.

The most winning and fashionable of all possible options are floor-length dresses. There are many styles from "new look" to "mermaid" that are great for evening dresses. But you should never forget that too elaborate decoration can turn a white dress into a frankly wedding dress, and it will look ridiculous at a different solemn event. This season, minimalism is at the peak of popularity, so do not forget that elegant simplicity always looks more advantageous than an abundance of details.

When choosing a dress, do not forget that light shades always emphasize the texture of the fabric and the smallest elements of clothing. Therefore, any defects will be perfectly visible from the side.

A white dress in openwork and / or coarse knit will be a winning solution, as this color emphasizes the yarn pattern.

If you want to create the most romantic look, for example, for a date, you should pay attention to a guipure dress. Lace will perfectly emphasize the lightness and elegance of your nature. Especially fashionable models include lace sleeves and shoulders, which only enhances the effect.

Since ancient times, silk clothing has not lost popularity. First of all, this is facilitated by the unique properties of silk - softness, pliability to processing, strength, elasticity and durability.In addition, the modern market offers many options for silk fabrics - translucent, matte, shiny, different in thickness. Silk with the effect of chesuchi has been especially popular lately. Since silk is originally white, your future dress will not go through the dyeing process, which means there is no risk of an allergy to dyes. In addition to being hypoallergenic, silk is a great option for people with very sensitive skin.

Chiffon is a lightweight fabric that is most often used in summer clothes and layered skirts. As a rule, it is made from silk or cotton, but there are also synthetic counterparts, so be sure to check the labels when buying a dress, otherwise you risk experiencing a lot of inconvenience in hot weather.

Cotton is a comfortable, environmentally friendly material of natural origin, due to which it has qualities that synthetics often cannot boast of. That is why it is often used by sportswear manufacturers.

If you are a fan of another very popular style - boho, then you need a tight linen dress. You can find a solid color and complement it with stylish accessories, or you can turn to already decorated models in a folk style. As part of boho, you can safely experiment without fear of overdoing it.

Satin is a silk or semi-silk fabric that has a characteristic strong sheen. This is a great solution for evening wear. In everyday life, such a fabric is likely to look too pretentious. However, models such as a sheath dress with a satin top or inserts, on the contrary, will look advantageous as part of an office style.

A white dress is always a thing to which you need to very carefully select the accompanying elements of the image. The stable perception of a white dress as a wedding dress (maximum intended for graduation) greatly hinders such stylish looks in the CIS countries. However, due to its color neutrality, it is easy to combine with any other shades, so the final choice depends solely on the style and style.

A plain white dress is also wonderful because it can always be supplemented, decorated, embroidered or even painted if you are tired of the minimalism of color.

White sneakers are a must if you've chosen a tank dress and you want to show off your active, sporty personality. At the same time, your bow can be supplemented with bright leggings - not only plain, but also with any pattern of your choice.

Red shoes, especially with a fashionable tapered toe, will serve as a kind of peppercorn to your look.They will perfectly show you as a passionate nature, and in combination with the tenderness of white - also as a contradictory one.

The combination of a white dress and white shoes has always been exclusively wedding. If you do not want to hear relevant questions and see puzzled looks, you will have to approach the formation of the image with all responsibility. First of all, you need elements of clothing and accessories that are guaranteed to divert attention from the white base and stop “wedding” associations. It can be a bright jacket, tights or leggings, a short jacket in a contrasting color, etc.

Sneakers and other types of sports and youth shoes will be a great addition to a shirt dress. They are not as bulky as sneakers, so the overall look will come out more feminine, but invariably very youthful.

One makeup trend perfect for a white dress is matching eye shadow. They look most impressive with black eyeliner, and for an evening look, you can add bright red or purple lipstick to them. In general, combinations of white + red and white + purple are win-win options, within which you can safely experiment. But do not forget to consider your color type. As mentioned above, bright white is contraindicated in "spring" and "autumn" in the same way as bright red and purple with a bluish tint.

Against the background of a plain white dress, a red belt will always look very impressive. If you are not afraid of excessive flashiness, add red shoes and makeup with red elements to the image. Otherwise, you can easily get by with neutral beige, which will only emphasize your natural beauty and the brightness of a white dress.

An excellent solution would be jewelry to match the dress or other elements of the bow. First of all, you should pay attention to the fashionable combination of gold and white ornamental stones - such as obsidian, opal, white cat's eye, moonstone, agate. A white silk dress with pearls looks especially beautiful.

Along with a white dress, white lacquer is in the trends of this season. Matte or glossy, plain or combined - a manicure with a white base in any case will perfectly complement your "swan" look.

• A perfect example of classic elegance and romantic femininity in this white sheath dress from ASOS. The traditional cut for this style is complemented by an original collar that forms a circle and large wavy frills. However, such roundness in the face area is extremely contraindicated for the owner of sharp features.

• The flagships of fashion for white, as always, are collections of wedding and evening dresses from leading designers. So, for example, this year Vera Wang presented a number of sophisticated models from which you can and should draw inspiration.

• Raf Simans, in his latest collection as creative director of the house of Dior, went even further, however, he remained true to the romantic trend.
