5 WAYS TO STYLE YOUR DRESS

Hi all!!! I hope you’re having a good day. The sun is out and I hope your mood is as bright as it is.

For a some time now I have been enjoying finding new ways to wear my clothes. I’ve shared with you the knotted maxi dress, and my tips on how to wear a dress as a skirt. Today, I wanted to show you different ways to wear the same dress. I’ve used photos of different outfits but the guidelines apply for the same dress.

This is the simplest way of wearing a dress. All you need is to be creative with your accessories. I find that, if the dress is elaborate or I want to let it stand out on its own, I keep accessories simple. But for simpler dresses I go for more elaborate accessories. 

This calls for a skirt that is longer than your dress. I prefer maxi skirts or midi skirts for shorter dresses. This is a fun way of increasing the number of tops that you have. The one issue with this styling option is that you will feel a little hotter than you would because you are wearing more layers.

I gave some of my favourite tips on wearing a dress as a skirt here. I prefer this look for dresses that are more casual. I find them easier to style.

I love black dresses. They have endless styling options. This time I chose this burnt orange sweater which I find myself wearing any time I’m wearing all black. I belted it around my waist with a slim black belt to keep it in place.

For a more sophisticated look, I like to add a blazer. This is my coat dress which I wore here. I styled it with a black blazer and folded the dress’s sleeves. This dress needs a belt to add shape so I decided to tie a belt on top of the blazer. I chose this red belt because of its colour, added a red and gold beaded necklace and these brass earrings.
