Style Tips for Various Types of Casual Dresses from The-BlackBerry.com

Following are some style tips for various types of dresses. Because, when someone says, “It’s all about the dress,” that’s really not quite right. What it’s really all about this the complete dress outfit, from the shoes to the jewellery, to the handbag.

Putting Different Spins on the Casual Mini Dresses

Mini dresses are great because they can be worn alone, or over skinny jeans for example, creating an entirely different look.

The types of shoes you wear with mini dresses can transform them from casual daytime wear, to chic evening wear. This depends on the style of the dress, of course.

Ballet slippers with a mini dress for example are perfect for a casual afternoon of museum strolling with a beau or taking in a movie with your favourite girlfriend. They are an ideal, feminine alternative to jeans and a t-shirt on casual outings. Come nightfall, slide out of the ballet slippers and into a pair of skinny jeans and three-inch spiked boots and you’re ready to go clubbing or out for a martini at that chic new club.

As for jewellery, that all depends on the style, colour, design and cut of the dress. If it’s pretty bare up top, e.g., spaghetti straps, you can really make a statement with your jewellery. A rule of thumb is, the fussier the clothing, the more simple the jewellery. And vice versa.

As you can see, the mini dress is a versatile style every fashion maven should have in her closet.

Versatile Looks for Mid-Length Dresses

Mid-length dresses can be just as versatile as mini dresses, but in a different kind of way. Instead of adding additional clothing with mid-length dresses, it’s all about the shoes and bag.

A casual mid-length dress is a multipurpose wardrobe staple. It can go from the classroom to the club to the latest hip restaurant – if you accessorize it accordingly.

For more laid back occasions like school, sleek flats and/or a wedge heel underscore the bohemian, carefree flavour, while maintaining its style. For these types of outings, oversized shoulder bags and/or messenger bags fit the style of them nicely.

If you’re meeting the gang for cocktails at the latest swanky restaurant, pairing mid-length dresses with stiletto-heeled boots and/or pumps is an instant way to upgrade this look. An elongated, bejewelled clutch as a purse and you’re reeking style in no time at all.

Style Tips for Casual, Full-Length Dresses

Full-length dresses are, of course, most often worn to formal occasions. But, for casual, full-length dresses, look to the shoes and jewellery to provide versatility. Depending on the style of the dress, you can pair it with a stiletto-heeled pump or boot, or a mid-rise heel. Casual full-length dresses go well with flat-heeled boots as well. Especially if they are of quality leather.

In spite of the fact that women wear trousers, dresses lend a feminine appeal that is embraced by all women, young and old; traditional and modern; conservative and fashion-forward.
