How to create a complete image
Choosing shoes
A thin summer dress is best combined with shoes or sandals. A prerequisite is the presence of high heels.
However, some prefer to wear short dresses with ankle boots and rough boots, but remember that rough boots, firstly, do not always look with the dress, and secondly, they can look ridiculous on you at the prom.
Accessories
Selected accessories should not only match the style of the dress, but also favorably set off the color of hair, eyes, skin, and the shape of the accessories should fit the type of face and hairstyle.
The easiest option is jewelry to match the dress. But here is one thing, but! Incorrectly selected jewelry can merge with the dress and ruin your look. Gold jewelry or jewelry imitating bronze and metal will suit a dress of warm tones. And for a dress of cold tones - silver or platinum-imitating accessories. Accessories in black, white or gray are suitable for classic dresses.
To make it easier, follow the rule: "The more complex the model of the dress, the simpler the accessories and vice versa."
