The dress has earned a high position in the women's wardrobe due to its elegance. Now, when ladies are no longer obliged to wear a sophisticated piece of clothing, it has not become less in demand. Today, there are many different dresses: they differ in models, styles, long skirts, sleeves and area of use. A special place among them is occupied by the black sheath dress. This model is universal and necessary for every girl. This thing never goes out of fashion, Coco Chanel herself praised it. With such a dress, you can create a variety of images - evening or everyday.
Features of the model
Despite the fact that all sheath dresses are made according to general rules and have the same name, they can differ from each other. Models of such dresses differ in sleeve length, skirt length, neckline depth, and so on. But there are some features that are mandatory for all dresses of this model:
- The sheath dress fits the figure and has a fitted silhouette;
- It does not have a special line that separates the waist and hips;
- This dress has deep darts on the back.
Based on these features, you can create a general picture of such a dress: it emphasizes the hips and waist.
Choice depending on the case
A black sheath dress is a universal item for every girl's wardrobe. Contrary to the opinion of a small number of fashionistas, it is worn not only to the office or to school. Everything depends on the choice of length, neckline depth, and appropriate accessories. Therefore, even the simplest, nondescript dress can be turned into a great look for going to a restaurant or a walk in the park by adding interesting shoes and shiny earrings.
Summer option
In summer, such a piece of clothing is not particularly relevant. This is due to the too dark color of the dress. But it does not mean that it cannot be worn at all. A black sheath dress can be worn for an evening stroll along the street or in a city pine forest. The main thing is to play up your choice correctly. And then all the admiring glances will be directed at the girl in a simple black, but correctly decorated dress.
In order not to get lost among the abundance of bright summer clothes, you need to diversify your outfit with accessories. The main thing is not to overdo it - a casual walking option should not become an inappropriate evening dress for an expensive banquet.
Clothing style: a summer dress can have a small visible neckline; short sleeves or three-quarter sleeves; knee-length and above. It can also have lace, frills or small patches (text, pictures).
Accessories:
- Earrings - to make the image look lighter, it is better to choose silver earrings. Gold jewelry will add solemnity, heaviness, and gravity to the image. You should choose studs or pendant earrings. They will look simple, but interesting. Rings and chandelier earrings are best left for another time;
- Bracelets - the decoration intended for the hands should match the decoration in the ears in color (metal). Therefore, it should be silver. The main thing to remember is that moderation is good in everything. A watch will be an excellent option that can replace a bracelet. Everything depends on its shape, size and strap material. It is better to choose a white watch with a rubber strap - this way the outfit will not look too businesslike;
- Shoes - it is advisable to choose shoes with a platform, a small heel or without a heel. Black or white ballet flats will fit well into the overall picture. But now sports shoes are becoming increasingly popular. They have literally turned the world of fashion upside down. Therefore, the opinion that a dress cannot be combined with sneakers is a thing of the past. A light image, complemented by sports shoes, will not look out of place. Sneakers will convey the summer mood of their owner. Moreover, they are very comfortable;
- Bag- You shouldn't be too biased when choosing this accessory. A sheath dress can be complemented with almost any bag: be it a small clutch or a roomy backpack. However, in the summer you can opt for small backpacks. They have become fashionable quite recently. Such an accessory will lighten the outfit and make it more modern.
Thus, an ordinary black sheath dress can be transformed into a perfect summer look if you choose the right shoes and accessories. After all, black color spoils the summer atmosphere only when it is played out incorrectly.
Evening option
The rules for creating an evening look with a black sheath dress are different from summer ones. In this case, accessories and the outfit itself can be bolder. An evening dress should not only look appropriate and expensive, but also attract attention. The main thing here is not to overdo it and not turn a luxurious look into a flashy cheapness. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.
Clothing style: deep necklines have long been a part of the vulgar past of fashion, so even in an evening dress you should feel the measure. A good solution is a heart-shaped depression, a classic neckline, a V-neck, a "swing". The length of the sleeve has no restrictions - it all depends on the owner of the image. You need to pay great attention to accessories, choose them correctly. The length of the skirt is determined by the lady for herself, there are no restrictions on this criterion. However, it should be noted that today midi dresses are more popular than mini ones.
Accessories:
- Earrings- in this situation, the owner of the image decides everything. Fashionable cuffs, rings, bold jackets or luxurious chandeliers look good. Any material is acceptable. Gold will add gloss to the image, and silver - sophistication;
- Bracelets - the bracelet should also match the metal (color) of the earrings. This can be a thin chain or a wide glider accessory;
- Shoes- for an evening look, you should opt for the classics - black high-heeled shoes. They can have a colored sole (like the famous Louboutins), a platform or decorations. The original look is when the color of the sole matches the color of the bag, strap or other accessory (earrings, bracelets do not count);
- Bag - for a festive option, a regular everyday bag is absolutely not suitable. You need to pay attention to clutches, reticules or minaudières (resembling a voluminous cosmetic bag). They complement the image, but do not make it too heavy, boring and simple;
- Belt - This accessory will flatter your waist, highlight your bust and add a twist to your outfit. Any belt width is possible – it all depends on the figure of the wearer.
The most important thing when choosing an image for going to a restaurant for a festive dinner or a corporate event is not to overdo it, but to attract attention. Therefore, you need to approach the choice of accessories, dress style and shoes wisely. An expensive, sophisticated image cannot be overloaded with many accessories. Therefore, if a bag or shoes have their own decoration (rhinestones, stripes, rivets), then you need to carefully choose earrings, bracelets or a belt. But do not exclude them completely!
Office option
An office dress should comply with dress code standards: discreet, restrained and moderately modest. But this means that such an image automatically becomes boring.
Clothing style: the neckline should be minimal. A good option is a classic boat neckline, round, square or keyhole. The sleeve length of an office dress is ¾ or full. Otherwise, you will have to choose a cape (cardigan, jacket). As for the length of the skirt, the best option here is to stick to the golden mean: a midi-length dress will be uncomfortable, and a mini-length dress will be inappropriate.
Accessories:
- Earrings - for an office outfit, earrings are a kind of salvation - after all, with the help of this accessory you can diversify any look. You should opt for studs or clusters;
- Bracelets - the best option for hand decoration in an office context would be a silver watch. It will add a business note, zest and femininity to the image at the same time;
- Shoes - Black high-heeled pumps have long been a classic office style. Don't forget about ballet flats, which look elegant, discreet and stylish;
- Pendants and necklaces. These accessories are ideal for the office. Since the clothes have no neckline, necklaces and pendants will help to decorate the top area. They should not look too expensive - this is inappropriate for work. But they can be a bright highlight, complementing the look;
- Belt – rA belt can complete the look. It is an acceptable accessory that attracts attention, does not look vulgar, and elegantly emphasizes the advantages. The width of the belt depends on the woman's figure;
- Bag - Going to work involves a daily routine. This means that the bag should hold many necessary items. A good option would be a bag - a dome, a satchel, a quash, a hobo.
In office looks, the main thing is appropriateness and modesty. Work is not a place where you need to show off pretentious gloss. Therefore, it is highly not recommended to combine the above accessories together in one look - the jewelry should be mutually exclusive. That is, if you put on a beautiful and massive necklace, you should not put on a belt. And vice versa.
What figure is it suitable for?
The sheath dress is unique in its versatility for any girl and woman. It suits not only ladies who are endowed with ideal forms, but also women with imperfections. The main thing is to choose the right style:
- For girls of short stature. Short models will suit them, which will visually make the legs longer;
- For tall girls. If a lady has complexes about her height, then a long dress will come to her aid. It will visually make the legs shorter and the body more proportional;
- For plump women. For such women, a sheath dress is an ideal option, especially if it is black. Due to the lack of seams on the front of the garment, the figure becomes integral. And the dark color makes the lady look slimmer and shows her in the best light;
- Too thin girls. They need to choose a wardrobe of dense fabrics - the figure visually gains weight, and the body does not look painfully thin;
- Girls with small breasts. Ladies with small breasts should opt for dresses with frills at the top. They will simultaneously hide the chest area and increase the volume of the upper part. Due to this, the bust will become visually larger.
The sheath dress is a real fashion discovery. It is relevant, in demand, interesting. And it will remain so for many years. Therefore, it is important to learn how to wear it correctly, to be able to combine it with other wardrobe items, with events. But it is not difficult. The main thing is to understand your figure, learn the features of the body and only then choose the right style, length and accessories. A dress is not a girl's enemy, but a good friend who, with due attention, will hide all the flaws and emphasize the advantages. After all, every lady is beautiful!
