Every woman loves to wear a nice dress once in a while. We all enjoy the freedom a dress brings and the class it can bring to a look, and dresses can be diverse and suit any size and body shape.
There are of course certain dresses which every woman should have in her closet, ready for any possible occasion that might come their way. Today we are going to make a list of the dresses you should already have, or should add, to your closet this year.
A Little Black Dress
The most infamous type of dress of all time, the LBD is a dress which should be in everyone’s closet. The beauty of a good black dress is that it will work with any other colour, it can come in a range of stunning styles and fits, and it is slimming! You’ll always be able to count on a good black dress to make you feel confident on a day when you are struggling.
A Red Dress
The boldest colour there is is associated with sexiness and bravery for a reason. If you are too scared to have bought a red dress before, now is the time to add one to your wardrobe and you won’t be disappointed. A red dress is a statement and it will make you instantly stand out in a crowd. A great red dress can be everything you ever wanted to help you feel powerful and elegant all at once.
A Maxi Dress
There is always a bit of contention with maxi dresses and many petite women tend to avoid this style because it can drown them and make them look small. However, a maxi dress can suit absolutely anyone as long as you make a clever decision on the type of maxi dress you buy. For example, for a taller woman any maxi dress will suit, but for a shorter woman one with a wrap around leg or split will work better as it allows the legs to be slightly on show.
A Sheath Dress
If you are looking for the type of dress which suits anyone and is casual and comfortable, a sheath dress is a great choice. A sheath dress can be dressed up with some bright coloured jewellery for a work outfit, or dressed down with some simple converse and a bag for a day at the beach.
An A-Line Dress
An A-line dress is the shape you will always see on the toilet signs at restaurants and it is a classic dress shape for all women. The beauty of this style is that because it is narrow and the top and wider at the bottom, slimmer women will gain some semblance of curves, and curvier women can disguise a stomach if they feel self conscious. It is a dress to suit all and is a simple and classic style.
A Shirt Dress
Think about how amazing women look in movies after spending the night with a man where they only wear a buttoned up shirt… that’s the idea behind this next dress. A shirt dress is casual and fun, and it can be used for work or for heading out to the shops.
A White Lace Dress
A white dress is often something we avoid with the idea of marriage later down the line, but a white lace dress can be an elegant and beautiful addition to your wardrobe this year. Lace is a fabric which is always associated with luxury and by pairing this with the colour white, it brings the idea of purity and wonder to every outfit. A dress like this will look stunning on anyone and it will make them feel beautiful on any day.
A Cocktail Dress
Everyone needs a dress they can step into and make people look twice. A cocktail dress is a style you likely won’t wear very often, however it is one which you should always have on hand if the occasion ever arises. The classic cocktail dress can look stunning on anyone and it will make you feel like a sexy, powerful woman right away.
A Floor Length Dress
If you are ever invited to something which is high class and posh, the best port of call is to think back to all of those Disney movies you loved as a child and take inspiration from those dresses. A ballgown is a stunning piece of clothing and it is something which you will likely only wear a few times. Make sure to choose one in your favourite colour and try a few different styles to find the one which works the best with your body shape.
