With so many styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming for young ladies shopping for a dress. Whether you’re looking for a formal gown or an everyday staple, it’s important to consider your body type and what will flatter you the most. Sydney’s Closet styling experts reveal three easy fashion tips to keep in mind before you shop.
The right dress is the foundation of any look. In our latest dress edit, you’ll find attractive pieces to build stylish casual looks for everyday wear as well as party dresses that breathe modernity and style for special occasions.
Whether you’re in the mood for floral prints or boho styles, our picks will have you covered. With easy silhouettes in lovely floral patterns from Erdem and H&M, warm weather-ready minimalist styles from Solid & Striped to Asceno, and classic spring day dresses you can wear on repeat from Doen, Ulla Johnson, and Reformation, there’s something for everyone.
For a little more structure, try a fitted midi dress that’s as polished as it is nonchalant, like J. Crew’s Elena shirtdress. For a more feminine take on spring, Sofia Richie Grainge put her stamp of approval on this two-toned maxi. For a touch of classic menswear with a feminine twist, Staud’s shirtdress features an embroidered sailor-style collar and elbow-length sleeves. For a modern take on florals, 3.1 Phillip Lim’s paneled dress features discreet floral appliques that make it the perfect choice for work and play.
When you’re feeling more laid-back, a long rib-knit dress from Free People is a cozy and comfortable option that’s as functional as it is fashion-forward. For those who love to mix and match, this versatile style also comes in eight different colors.
A-line dresses are a classic and flattering choice for any figure. They narrow at the bust and waist, taper at the hips, and flare gently into an A-shape skirt to create a balanced and slimming hourglass shape. This shape also balances proportions for a pear-shaped body and creates curves to round out a straight Rectangle shape.
If you’re searching for a form-fitting formal dress, consider a mermaid silhouette. This sleek and sexy design wraps around your bodice and hugs your hips before flowing into a fishtail for a curvy hourglass look. A mermaid dress is the perfect choice for tall, lean figures who want to show off their sexy curves.
When it comes to patterned options, florals are a great starting point because they’re so versatile and can be worn throughout the year. For an extra feminine and fresh look, opt for a dress in a pastel color like mint green or pale pink. Or, you could also go for a printed pattern with a more whimsical motif, like stripes or polka dots.
