Business clothes

For many, summer is associated primarily with leisure and interesting trips, but not everyone can afford a vacation in the warm season. Some have to work and, despite the hot weather, I want to look beautiful. What could be a business summer dress?

Materials

Let's start with the materials. Ideal option - easy knitwear:

• not wrinkling;
• easily erased;
• does not need ironing;
• lets air in.

Important! In the office, it is better to abandon the deep neckline. Dresses with a turn-down collar or a V-neck are preferable. In addition, you will feel more confident if the model is with sleeves - short or to the elbow.

Length

In general, modern fashion allows any length - times when absolutely everyone wore mini or maxi, a long time ago. But still, you need to consider the situation. For office clothes, a very short mini or floor skirt is not very suitable. It’s better to choose something in between.

Important! Owners of beautiful legs can afford a skirt just above the knee, and if you think that the shape of your legs is not at all something to be proud of, choose the length to the middle of the calf. And convenient, and does not attract too much attention.

Colors

Despite the fact that summer is a time of bright colors, it’s better to wear something not too flashy for work. Suitable pastel colors:

• cream;
• Gray;
• blue;
• beige;
• pink.

Important! As you know, dark tissue attracts the sun's rays, so in the summer they usually do not wear. In a light dress, it will not be as hot as in black or dark blue.

As for the drawing, it should not be too catchy for office clothes. And you can always choose a plain fabric, the texture of which is so beautiful in itself that no pattern is needed. If you certainly want material with a pattern, fit:

• peas;
• cell;
• small flower;
• Fantasy printed patterns.

Important! Now in great fashion clothes with prints. This can be worn in the office.

Cut

The style of a light business dress entirely depends on your figure. Now in fashion:

• straight cut;
• fitted dresses with a narrow skirt;
• trapezoid silhouette;
• loose silhouette:
• dresses in a waist with a flared skirt;
• dresses with low or high waist and a loose skirt.

Straight silhouette

A straight silhouette suits any woman, regardless of her complexion. Thin people usually don’t really like him, because they can afford absolutely everything. But if you have magnificent forms, a direct summer dress will be most welcome.

Important! Does such a silhouette seem boring to you? It is easy to fix with spectacular fabric and well-chosen accessories.

Slim skirt fitted dress

This style perfectly describes a slim figure, making it more feminine. It is most suitable for women who have nothing superfluous - any unnecessary bulge on the body will seem even more embossed. Therefore, ladies with too large breasts should definitely not wear this.

Trapezoid

A classic silhouette that almost never goes out of style. The most suitable materials are thin wool, crepe satin, thick silk and in general everything that keeps its shape well, but at the same time allows air to pass through.

Important! This silhouette has another advantage. Even an office a-line dress can be even without sleeves and without a collar, with a neckline or square.

Loose silhouette

An ideal option for any summer clothes - tunic. Can be worn with or without a belt. It is sewn very simply - only two seams and the design of the cutout. The fabrics are lightweight and comfortable to fold.

Plain or with a discreet pattern of knitwear are perfect for an office outfit, polyester, crepe de chine.

Important! A woman of any complexion can wear such a thing, because it is very simple to hide what you do not like in your figure and emphasize the merits.

Dress with a flared skirt

Very feminine option. Suitable for anyone with a fairly thin waist. At the same time, the volume of the hips does not play a big role:

• if they are too narrow, the skirt-sun will visually expand them;
• if they are too wide, the flared bottom will slightly hide them and, at the same time, emphasize a thin waist.

Materials can be anything - from chintz to natural silk. But, of course, for work it is necessary to choose something more or less high-quality.

High or Low Waist Summer Dresses

If you don’t really want to draw attention to the waistline, you can choose one of the options when it is moved up or down:

• The first style is suitable for women with large breasts and a strongly protruding belly. The wide lower part will superbly hide what you do not want to show. It is for this very reason that pregnant women very often choose such a silhouette.
• As for the lowered waistline, such models will be interesting to those who have a square figure and chest, hips and waists very little differ from each other.

Beautiful light party dresses

At a summer party, you can afford everything! Any length is appropriate here - from an ultra-mini to a floor skirt, any silhouette and any color, neckline and cuts. A classic of the genre is a dress with an open shoulder and a long straight skirt with a slit. It can be combined - for example, the top can be made of dark or shiny knitwear, and the bottom can be made of natural or artificial velvet or silk.

Dress dudes

A popular option for a party is a beautiful summer dress of a dude with a tight-fitting top, a large neckline, a “flashlight” or “wing” sleeve (or no sleeve at all) and a very magnificent short skirt.

The model can be from one type of fabric, or from several. Classic summer materials, such as chintz or satin, are suitable. But the option will also look good when the skirt is made of several layers of tulle, and the top is made of plain silk.

Ballet dress

The “ballet" dress also looks interesting - as a rule, combined. A tight-fitting upper with a large neckline, an almost open back and narrow sleeves, and a lush hem made of translucent fabric.

Important! A shopkin skirt can be made of polyester, lace fabric, thin silk, but most often it is sewn from gauze or tulle.

Strapless dress

If you have beautiful shoulders, nothing prevents you from sewing a strapless evening summer dress. Flying knitwear or flowing crepe de Chine will make your look simply unforgettable. The design rests on an elastic band, so a lady who decides to sew herself a similar evening toilet should have a rather large chest.

But another option is possible. Dress with a corset. It suits everyone, regardless of the size of the chest, because it does not rest on an elastic band, but on a rigid “skeleton”. It can be either short or long. Actually, such a style also has not gone out of fashion for many centuries, but you can only wear such a dress at a particularly solemn ceremony.

Greek dresses

Here is a little thing for all occasions! But the clothes for the office and for the party should still be different. Variegated polyester in this case is not very appropriate, it is best to sew such a model from knitwear with shiny fibers. Why exactly from it? It is just on this fabric that it is easiest to lay folds.

Important! A slender leg is emphasized by a long cut to the hip, and a beautiful back is cut out almost to the waist.

Dresses for walks

Chintz, calico, cambric, crepe de chine, silk, gauze, linen ... The list of materials for beautiful summer dresses and sundresses is far from complete. For outdoor clothing it is better to use natural fabrics:

• If you sew a thing for one season, chintz will do.
• If you want something that can be worn next summer, choose linen, silk, crepe de chine or cambric.

Important! Even high-quality Indian chintz fades very quickly, so for a long time you do not bring such a dress.

For walking dresses any color is acceptable. Everything that you will find in the store, if only the pattern and color match your complexion. For example, an interesting option when the top is solid and the bottom is with a very large floral pattern.

Important! But you need to choose carefully, because the large and bright elements of the pattern visually slightly increase the figure.

Combined dresses are in fashion now, when the pattern is the same, but differs in size or color. For example, the bodice is sewn of fabric into small peas, and the skirt and sleeves are made of exactly the same color, but with a large one. Or an option when the main part of the dress, say, is made of white material in red peas, and the sleeves and coquette are made of white polka dots on a red background.

Sundresses

A sundress on a hot summer day is simply irreplaceable. Modern fashion offers many options:

• Classic on the straps. Sundresses on the straps have been known for a very long time and almost never disappear from the women's wardrobe. The straps can be wide and narrow, with buttons or buttons, and the silhouette of the dress is fitted, straight, with a wide skirt or loose.
• With one shoulder strap. Models with one shoulder strap are much less common, and in this case, special attention should be paid to the design of the armhole where there is no shoulder strap. In any case, the clothes should be correct. In addition, the armhole should not dig into the armpit.
• Strapless with elastic. Strapless sundresses are especially popular with women who are always in a hurry. No fasteners, no creases. I put on the “pipe”, adjusted the elastic, and you can run to the kindergarten for the child or to the store.
• With a stand-up collar and an open back. Very interesting option with a stand-up collar. On the front, the armhole is trimmed under the raglan, a stand is sewn onto it, which is fastened on the back with a short zipper or button. The collar also holds the entire structure - the back is fully open.

Important! A striped pattern does not go out of fashion, but it should be borne in mind that the transverse strip visually expands the figure, and the longitudinal one narrows it.

Beach dresses

Summer is a time of relaxation by the water. For the beach, you need something that you can quickly put on and that would allow you to quickly part with an wet swimsuit in an emergency if there is no cabin or bushes nearby. Optimal options:

• dressing gown;
• tunic;
• strapless sundress.

As for fabrics, then “smart” synthetics are preferable, in which it is not hot and which dries quickly. For example, polyester tunics are extremely comfortable. Knitwear made of natural fibers is least suitable because it easily gets wet and slowly partes with moisture, and in addition, wet spots on it are clearly visible.
