Women's clothing, the shape of which is similar to a housecoat, has rapidly soared to the Olympus of fashion. Today, many Hollywood stars wear a housecoat dress to walk down the red carpet. This wardrobe item has many interesting styles. It is comfortable not only to do housework in it, but also to attend special events.
What is good and bad about the model?
Women's attire, the cut of which resembles a regular dressing gown, has a big plus: it is not limited by the season of the year, as well as the build and age of the lady. In addition, practicality and an interesting shape distinguish this model from others.
Another advantage of this clothing is that it can be chosen for any occasion, for example:
- Office work;
- Going to the theatre, cinema or on a date;
- Trip to the sea;
- Receiving guests at home.
This product has a minor drawback: the robe dress is such a beautiful outfit that it is a pity to do housework in it, so as not to ruin it. And one more thing – a model that is too short is only suitable for young women. The remaining disadvantages relate to the chosen fabric.
For example, a knitted robe dress requires hand washing. When drying, it should be laid out on a terry sheet. It is advisable to wash a denim product separately from other fabrics. Linen has a high degree of shrinkage, so it cannot be washed in hot water. A chiffon outfit should be ironed very carefully.
What figure is it suitable for?
A dressing gown is an interesting outfit that suits almost all women:
- For skinny girls – it will imitate appetizing curves;
- For those with a pear-shaped body type, it will disguise large hips;
- For ladies with an “apple” figure – it will visually divide the silhouette in half and also create the illusion of a beautiful waist;
- For beautiful ladies with an inverted triangle body type – it will visually enlarge narrow hips.
The wrap model is a wrap of one of the front sides of the garment over the other. Often, such gowns are equipped with a false clasp, which serves as decoration.
The scent will hide extra pounds and make a plump lady look slimmer. And thin girls will become visually plumper thanks to the folds that are formed due to the flared cut. Slender ladies can safely choose any style that will highlight their natural advantages.
A long garment will suit women of medium and tall height. A seductive longitudinal cutout on the hem or a vertical stripe print will also help to visually increase height. Such techniques are used by short stars of the blue screen.
Diversity of species
There are many types of dressing gowns that differ:
- Style direction (office dress, evening, casual, cocktail, beach);
- The fabric, its color and pattern;
- Types of fasteners (buttons, zippers, belt);
- Different hem lengths (mini, midi, floor length);
- Style (straight or flared cut, different types of sleeves, models with or without a collar, as well as with open shoulders).
A classic straight-cut garment enchants with its royal elegance. A dress of this cut can correct any figure. The plain fabric will emphasize the elegance of the cut. This style also looks good with a laconic print.
A flared garment with a semi-circular wrap is the most common model, which usually has a length to the middle of the ankle. A robe dress with a flared hem can disguise a tummy, lengthen the silhouette or emphasize a beautiful décolleté area. A floral pattern or polka dots are most suitable for such an outfit.
A robe dress with a high waist will easily decorate even the figure that is far from ideal proportions. It is perfect for women with a large bust and wide hips. In 2018, sleeveless robe dresses with a high waist are popular. Trendy shades: turquoise, sky blue, soft pink.
The beach model resembles a regular house dress. It is convenient because you can put it on in a few seconds. The resort robe dress has no sleeves. It can be on straps or with bare shoulders. Wrap-around or buttoned models are popular. The colors of the sea, sun and tropical greenery are in trend. The common feature of such toilets is seductiveness and flirtatious frankness.
The dressing gown dress looks amazing in any format: short, midi, floor-length. The short model will show off the slender legs of its owner. But the long dress will hide figure flaws, if any. The medium hem length is universal. It suits almost all women. This model harmonizes perfectly with ruffles and other decorative details.
Fabrics for formal wear and for every day differ significantly. A dress made of denim, cotton, calico is an ideal option for everyday wear. A denim dressing gown will decorate the image of a modern housewife, since such clothes are practical, comfortable and beautiful. For holidays, a romantic date, expensive outfits made of velvet, satin, guipure are better suited. For example, a chiffon dress, thanks to its flowing folds, will emphasize the charm of women's curves.
Selection rules
When choosing a robe dress style, a lady needs to consider her body type. If you have an apple shape, you should focus on the upper or lower part of your body. Avoid fitted styles and belts. It is better to choose a high-waisted garment or one with a side zipper. Give preference to a robe dress without a print.
Ladies with a pear-shaped figure should choose a laconic hem style. The ideal option is a wrap-around robe dress. A high waist will visually even out the silhouette, bringing the figure closer to the ideal look.
Stylish ladies with a figure resembling an inverted triangle need to “smooth out” their prominent shoulders. A straight cut with a belt will shift the emphasis to the middle part of the body. It’s good if the top is darker than the bottom. A win-win solution is patch pockets at hip level.
To correct the flaws, women with a rectangle-shaped body type should wear clothes that fit their figure. Fashion designers recommend creating multi-layered ensembles with a cardigan or vest. To visually enlarge the hips and décolleté area (and also reduce the waist), wear a peplum, a wide belt or patch pockets. Choose a striped item with a pattern that is located strictly at the top or bottom.
Women with an hourglass figure type should wear a semi-fitted robe dress. Don't overload either the top or the bottom. Instead, focus on the graceful curves of your thin waist.
When choosing an outfit, take a closer look at the pattern of the garment. For example, stripes magically transform the figure: vertical stripes make a fat girl look slimmer, horizontal stripes give thin girls extra volume.
The trend of 2018 is not only printed, but also plain clothes. They are ideal for strict and laconic outfits.
How to create an image
When putting on a robe dress you like, think carefully about your future look. Below are some useful recommendations:
- A floor-length garment goes well with dangling earrings, while a short hemline goes well with neat studs. It is important to consider the color palette of the fabric and metal;
- The belt is a kind of "cherry on the cake" that should not be ignored. You can replace it with a decorative chain;
- When creating a stylish look, avoid items that can compete with a robe dress. Otherwise, you can end up with a trendy mess.
Silk robe dresses are a great choice for ladies who want to look like seductive aristocrats. Delicate folds of the material will create a bohemian mood. All the details of such outfits will emphasize the seductive female forms.
The variety of colors and styles allows you to fantasize with the creation of an image. For example, a red robe dress exudes sophistication and seductiveness, regardless of the style. It can become the pearl of a stylish wardrobe. A man will definitely appreciate your red outfit and will keep it in his memory for a long time.
Fashion masters did not leave black without attention. In 2018, they demonstrated stylish black robe dresses. If you choose the right makeup, handbag, shoes for such an outfit, then you can safely go to a party. The above-described look looks casual and seductive. But the black model with buttons is an ideal choice for a business look, fitting into the strict atmosphere of an office environment.
A sleeveless robe dress made of lightweight fabric is a fresh trend in beach fashion. It is advisable to complement the resort outfit with beach accessories:
- Stylish glasses;
- Straw hat;
- Original sandals.
A young girl with a chiseled figure should dress in a playful mini. Such an outfit is convenient for the warm season. This outfit looks chic in an ensemble with shoes without heels or on a low platform.
A seductive robe dress with a semicircular wrap, decorated with beautiful flounces, will suit plump women. Such an outfit will appeal to women of any age. It will be complemented by elegant pumps or classic sandals with a glass heel.
The fashionable design of the product (abstraction, flowers, polka dots, checkered, striped) will emphasize the originality and sense of style of any woman. Striped dresses have been holding their positions for several seasons in a row, becoming more and more interesting. Striped dressing gowns will help to create a sporty or nautical look.
