Strappy sundresses
What type of women's clothing can be called native Russian? Of course, a sundress with straps. Women have been wearing this practical dress in Russia since time immemorial, but even today this element of clothing remains extremely popular.
Light, flowing fabric that reaches the length of the floor, a simple print in the form of small flowers or polka dots, an elegant neckline and small ruffles that give the image of femininity - this is the classic version of a sundress with straps. How is it different from more modern models?
Features and Benefits
A modern strapless sundress is good because it is still created from the most light and weightless materials. It can be linen, chiffon, cotton, silk or denser synthetic fabrics. Varying in shape, the neckline allows you to emphasize the advantages of any figure and hide its flaws. A variety of textures makes each new image original and emphasizes the individuality of any girl.
But the main distinguishing feature of modern models of sundresses in a variety of lengths. Very young ladies can now purchase mini sundresses, up to mid-thigh length. Knee-length or slightly lower sundresses will be appropriate in an office and everyday look, while midi and maxi length models will bring originality to a romantic style. It is interesting that the most important detail of sundresses - straps, can also be different.
Varieties of straps
The straps on modern sundresses can be different in shape and this is their important advantage. Classic shoulder straps keep the sundress in place while leaving the décolleté as open as possible. The strap, which is tied around the neck, allows you to visually stretch the silhouette, and make the image more seductive. The original models of sundresses are cross-twisted on the back, making the image mysterious and at the same time light. But the main difference between the straps is their width.
Thin
Such straps are present on most models of summer sundresses, but fashion experts advise not all girls to choose such straps. If you have thin shoulders and a fragile silhouette, you can safely choose a sundress model with thin straps. And it’s good if the straps are adjustable, then you can pull up the sundress to fit your chest.
wide
Sundresses with such straps are better for girls with massive shoulders or noticeable fullness in their hands. Interestingly, such straps make the image with a sundress more formal. If such straps are complemented by ruffles that completely cover the line of the shoulder, you can visually adjust the silhouette of an inverted triangle.
How to choose
But choosing the right style of sundress is quite simple. The main thing is to take into account the features of your own figure.
- Girls with a perfect hourglass silhouette should avoid models with noticeable decorative elements in the form of draperies, folds and ruffles. It is better to give preference to light and flowing fabrics that emphasize the figure.
- For girls with a rectangular silhouette, it is better to pay attention to models with draperies on the chest, as well as options with a smell.The length of the outfit in this case can be completely different.
- It is better for people with an unexpressed waist to abandon maxi sundresses, and choose trapezoidal styles, knee-length and with a small pattern.
- For girls with a pear-shaped figure, it is better to choose models flared from the hip with a slightly high waist.
- Girls with an inverted triangle body type will suit models with drapery and ruffles at the bottom of the outfit.
Remember that mini sundress models are intended exclusively for young girls, but for persons after thirty years it is better to choose authentic outfits.
Fashion trends
I would like to pay special attention to the colors of the outfit. This season, snow-white models remain especially popular, as well as black, blue, pink, yellow and lilac. The most fashionable print is butterflies, but floral, abstract and ethnic motifs are also in demand. What styles are the most fashionable?
Straight
This style can rightfully be called a classic, because most of the traditional models of sundresses are distinguished by a straight cut. Its advantage is that it sits perfectly on almost any figure and creates the most light and relaxed look.
fitted
This style of sundress is also chosen by girls very often, because it perfectly emphasizes the parameters of a beautiful figure. In a fitted sundress, the girl looks as feminine as possible, but not without elegance.
Flared
A sundress of this cut is chosen by girls with disproportionate parameters of the figure, and the most interesting thing is that any disproportion is corrected with the help of such a style. The length of the outfit in this case plays an important role.Shorter styles create the most seductive look, and long ones can become a profitable addition to the evening look.
What to wear
Fashionable experts advise to combine strapless sundresses with cropped jacket-type capes and comfortable shoes. It can be summer ballet shoes or sandals, as well as sandals and pumps. It is better to complement the summer look with a sundress with a shapeless fabric bag or a stylish clutch.
To add variety to the stylish classics, a belt elegantly tied at the waist allows. Interestingly, the texture of the accessory can be completely different, as well as its width. It is better for girls with curvaceous forms to choose massive belts of dense texture, and for elegant ladies - thin and light.
Stylish images
Properly selected jewelry will help to make an image with a sundress truly stylish. Since the neckline in such sundresses remains as open as possible, it can be supplemented with both massive and elegant jewelry. If you want to draw attention to the décolleté area in a casual look, choose stylish jewelry, and if you want to complete the business look, laconic and strict jewelry. A romantic look can be complemented with handmade jewelry. They can be wooden or woven from beads.
