Variety of bodycon dresses, recommendations for choosing

A toned figure is the dream of all women. It attracts attention, causes envy, so there is no need to hide it under shapeless clothes. A tight dress will help to emphasize the beauty, which will make the image more feminine and elegant. To achieve the desired effect, you need to choose it correctly in accordance with your parameters.

Basic rules of selection

A tight dress has an almost elusive line between style and vulgarity, which should not be crossed. It is necessary to clearly understand that the item of clothing will only suit slim, fit women, so it is worth soberly assessing yourself from the outside, so as not to take unnecessary risks. Its advantages:

• versatility, which allows you to combine the dress with many wardrobe items;
• convenience;
• no wrinkles appear on clothes.

Choosing such a dress is not as easy as it seems at first glance. Only top models have a perfect figure, so you should definitely pay attention to the fabric, avoiding too thin knitwear, which unfavorably emphasizes all the imperfections. But baggy thick material should not be considered either. The dress should comfortably fit the figure without squeezing it. It is not recommended to choose a dress that is smaller or, conversely, larger, hoping that it will fit more perfectly.

The next nuance is makeup. Excessively bright is unacceptable, especially in combination with a mini dress - it looks provocative. When choosing an outfit, it is worth thinking about the combination with outerwear. The sight of a tight-fitting dress hem below the knee, peeking out from under the coat, does not decorate either the figure or the image. It is better if the length reaches the middle of the thigh or is covered by the lower edge of the clothing.

Varieties

The bodycon dress is universal and can be used in different style combinations. The shape and volume of the details vary depending on the cut. Sleeves, for example, can be long, to the wrist, ¾, short or absent altogether. The latter are summer or evening options. Sleeveless clothing helps to emphasize the shoulders or a beautiful neckline. They can have narrow or wide straps, as well as an asymmetrical cut on one shoulder.

The neckline design also looks different. The American armhole femininely emphasizes the shoulder line, but since the use of underwear here causes certain difficulties, this option will suit women with an ideal breast shape. The same can be said about a dress with open shoulders without straps, as well as models with a bare back. If the physical data is not as good as you would like, then sometimes outfits with a sewn-in bra can help. When for some reason this option is not suitable, it is worth trying a cut in which the shoulders and neckline are partially exposed, for example, with interlacing of fabric or separate open areas, possibly located in a figured or asymmetrical manner.

A dress that reveals parts of the body should be used as an evening dress and not be ultra-short. Otherwise, the image risks becoming vulgar.

A stand-up collar visually elongates the silhouette, but girls with a short neck need to approach the choice carefully, as such options visually shorten it. A turtleneck collar looks good on a knee-length dress, which can be worn to the office, complemented by a jacket and accessories. Elegant wrap-around models are also suitable for work, if their length covers the knee.

Fabrics

In a tight dress, the silhouette must look perfect. The clothes should not hang loosely on the figure due to a too loose cut or have elongated parts at the knees or elbows. For this reason, you need to carefully consider the choice of fabric, which is the main criterion for success. It is desirable that the composition contains elastane threads, which are responsible for the reverse compression of the material. It is thanks to it that the dress "sits in place" after the woman gets up or removes her elbows from the table.

Thin cotton jersey, which is often used to make sportswear, often stretches due to its structure and does not take its original shape, leaving bulges on the dress.

For summer and cold season models, the materials will also differ, as they have different functional purposes. In the heat, the fabric should provide maximum air exchange and, if possible, absorb moisture, and in the cool - warm to a comfortable level. Materials that contain natural fibers cope well with such tasks: wool, viscose, cotton jersey. Their significant drawback is the formation of pellets and loss of appearance some time after purchase.

Wool dresses with added elastane threads are comfortable in autumn and winter, they provide pleasant warmth and prevent overheating. The downside may be that the fabric shrinks in size after washing. Viscose and cotton are good for summer models. If the dress is short and sleeveless, you can ignore the presence of stretch threads. If the model is knee-length or lower, elasticity is extremely important. When the fabric does not stretch at all, for ease of walking and integrity of the style, it is advisable to choose a dress with a slit.

For tight evening dresses, synthetic materials that do not contain natural components are most often used. Such fabrics have a number of advantages:

• beautiful, eye-catching texture;
• retain their shape well;
• come in different densities.

Synthetics are not comfortable for long-term wear, but are perfect for evening wear. You can make a gorgeous floor-length dress with fully closed sleeves from artificial fabric without worrying about the beautiful outfit bubbling. Knitwear is also often synthetic, which is suitable for office casual models. A dress below the knee made of it can stretch, but if the product is midi length or slightly higher, it should hold its shape well.

It is worth noting that the most inelastic fabrics allow you to hide figure flaws. They take the shape of the silhouette, hiding the "ears" on the hips and cellulite. Thin and stretchy ones fit all the curves well, including those that you would like to hide. Therefore, when choosing a material, as well as a cut, you need to take into account individual characteristics - some of them can be disguised with a properly selected fabric and a style that does not restrict movement.

Fashionable palette

It is no secret that each color evokes its own emotions. Different combinations are trendy now, so a woman with any color type will be able to choose the perfect dress. The table shows the characteristics of common shades of clothing.

Color	Positive emotions	Negative emotions
White	Kindness, openness, simplicity, ease	Emptiness, detachment
Black	Style, self-confidence, belonging to the elite	Evil, cruelty, power
Red	Passion, love, desire	Danger, warning
Beige	Traditions, wisdom, experience	Narcissism, egoism
Yellow	Energetic, friendly	Irresponsibility
Green	Freshness, closeness to nature	Longing, envy
Grey	Intelligence, reliability, stability	Sadness, detachment

Psychologists claim that light colors evoke joy, stimulate action and inspire, while dark colors, on the contrary, depress and sadden.

The classic trio of colors: black, white, red, is still trendy. They are suitable for business style, as well as for evening and clubbing. A black tight dress attracts attention regardless of the situation. Pure tones of burgundy and blue are at the peak of popularity. They are good in the style of "urban chic" and for cocktail dresses. Noble beige is as elegant as always and helps out in any situation, especially good in romantic and business sets. In the summer, bright tones of all colors and pastel colors come to the fore.

For a casual or smart casual style, it is better to choose dresses in sand and gray shades. Among the current trends are single-color sets with accents on prints with geometric patterns and plant ornaments, with the help of which you can visually correct your figure, for example, hide your belly. A small repeating pattern will successfully decorate long tight dresses with wide straps in the summer season.

You can't combine leopard print with a tight dress, especially if you have figure flaws. It looks provocative.

The uniform texture of the model can be diversified with accent decorations. They will complement the image, bring life to the simplicity of the style. The decor can be placed on:

• forearm;
• neck;
• waist;
• hem.

A huge arsenal of various fittings is used for decoration. By combining elements with each other, craftswomen can create almost works of art or highlight the color and texture of fabric in everyday clothes. The following are used:

• metal decor in the form of buckles, as well as design elements;
• rhinestones, sequins, placed in dots or in the form of a pattern;
• fur, feathers, suitable for evening options;
• embroidery, lace, decorating country style dresses.

Decor should be used in moderation. A tight dress overloaded with decorations will look motley and unpleasant to the eye. Do not forget that you cannot use more than three colors in a set.

Choosing the length depending on your body type

The same dress will not suit all women at once. Even the slimmest will look different. It all depends on the type of figure, as well as age. The length is determined not only based on the shape of the legs, but also in accordance with age. Basic recommendations for choosing:

• Mini skirts are suitable for the youngest girls, but they should avoid dresses that are too long;
• medium length is universal and suits women of all ages, knee-length dresses are suitable only for those with graceful calves;
• Maxi looks good on mature ladies, as well as middle-aged women. The latter should avoid mini length.

After forty years, you should be extremely careful when choosing a tight dress. Short length should be completely excluded for ethical reasons, the product should have sleeves to the elbow and below.

 

The main rule of visual correction of the body type is the vertical or horizontal division of the image. Basic recommendations:

1. Most tight-fitting outfits look great on hourglass and rectangle figures. Stylists recommend that girls accentuate the waist using bright belts. Plus-size women should be careful with the length – midi is not recommended for them. The best print option for them is vertical patterns. The dress can be complemented with a sleeveless vest, an unbuttoned cardigan or a hanging scarf.
2. Owners of a T-shaped figure should choose dresses with a deep triangular neckline, vertical prints, and combinations of fabrics (for example, when the top is darker than the bottom). Ideally, the outfit is complemented by a lush peplum.
3. Ladies with an "apple" figure should visually narrow the waist area. Outfits with dark inserts on the sides will come to the rescue.
4. Women with a pear-shaped figure have to think about how to hide plump hips. For this purpose, they need to choose clothes with decorative elements on the top - jabot, frills. The optimal length is midi. Options with thin straps and open shoulders are contraindicated.

The choice of outerwear for a figure-hugging outfit is made in accordance with the length. A mini dress will look spectacular with a trench coat or a coat below the knee in a romantic look. For a rock-style look on a warm summer evening, you can wear a short leather biker jacket. In business suits, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the hem of the dress does not peek out from under the coat with a belt, creating dissonance. Long models are complemented by short outerwear to the hip or with an equal length of hems.

Creating a fashionable look for every day

Before choosing a tight dress, you need to correctly assess your external parameters. Don't chase after a tight or very short skirt in the hopes of gaining the greatest attractiveness. To create a fashionable image for every day, you need to choose dresses of calm basic colors, complementing them with accessories. Basic recommendations from stylists:

1. Midi dresses are suitable for tall girls. You shouldn't choose maxi, this length can make the image bulky. Horizontal lines will help to reduce the silhouette if there is no pronounced excess weight. Wide belts, short jackets and jackets are used - everything that visually shortens. A gray knitted dress, complemented with sneakers and a denim jacket, will be an excellent everyday look.
2. Petite beauties need vertical lines that will stretch the silhouette. It is also better to avoid excessive length and choose a short, tight dress just above the knee. A V-neck will add femininity and make the neck longer. Combined with a jacket and shoes with a hidden platform, the look will be both stylish and comfortable. In this look, you can go shopping or have coffee with a friend.
3. Young girls can safely wear a short sports dress - age allows bold experiments. In the image, it is recommended to use bright, catchy details, large labels and color combinations, in a word, everything that will indicate positivity and cheerful girlish optimism. You can complement it with a bomber jacket, a cross-body bag, flat sandals, sneakers, a backpack.
4. Women over forty should strive for elegance. Even if your figure allows it, you should avoid short skirts and overly tight clothes. Slightly loose midi length styles in calm tones are ideal. A black tight dress that covers the knee will be a sure bet. In combination with massive jewelry, a clutch, high heels, and an elegant jacket, the look will be stylish and prestigious.

Useful tips

A tight dress is an opportunity to show off a beautiful figure under admiring glances. The appearance should be impeccable. To feel confident in such a set, it is important to follow the advice:

1. Underwear should be selected in strict accordance with the size. It is worth avoiding textured lace that will be visible through the fabric.
2. To hide cellulite and make your buttocks firmer, you can wear push-up shaping tights under your dress.
3. The color of the tights should match the tone of the shoes. This will visually make the legs longer.
4. If you need to squat, you should keep your knees together.
5. A corrective bra will help shape your figure, as well as shaping shorts that should not be visible from under the dress. To choose the right one, you need to determine the problem areas. The underwear should completely cover unnecessary bulges so as not to create unnecessary folds that are visible through clothing. It is better to choose in a store, trying on several models.

Makeup for outfits with a tight dress is selected in accordance with the style in which the entire look is collected. Everyday options for work should exclude manifestations of excessive flashiness. A neat accent should be made either on the eyes or on the lips. Hair can be gathered in a bun or loose, if the dress code allows.

Bright makeup is acceptable for evening sets. You can repeat the color of the dress in the shadows, adding bright lipstick. Smokey eye makeup, blush in combination with flowing hair will complete the image of a femme fatale.

Naturalness is in fashion, so you shouldn’t overuse cosmetics.

Femininity and sexuality never go out of fashion. Bodycon dresses bring back the triumph of beauty to the modern world of unisex trends. By choosing the right look, in accordance with age and the situation, every girl will look unique and desirable, and maybe even become one.
