Long Sleeve Formal Dresses
Have you always gravitated towards a sleeveless formal dress because you know it looks good and there are endless amount of ways to style them? We are here to show you that you can step out of your comfort zone with a long sleeve formal gown. With the proper stylist tips, you are guaranteed to have a showstopping look with your long sleeve formal dress.
How to Wear a Long Sleeve Formal Dress
As we come out of summer, and the temperatures begin to drop, it is time to pack away the denim shorts and flip flops and bring out the winter wardrobe. With the proper stylist techniques, we are here to show you that winter fashion is ultimately the best to experiment with as you have plenty of options to choose from. Lets take a look at some tips, for your cooler days ahead.
The Power of Layering
Layering is your best friend during the cooler seasons. We are not risking catching colds or being uncomfortably freezing for the sake of fashion. With layering, you can style spring/autumn pieces and create looks like no other.
Jackets & Coats
It's time to pull out your favourite trench coats, leather jackets and suit blazers to add to your winter looks.
If you want to wear a mini dress, you can easily stay warm and comfortable by pairing it with an oversised jacket/coat and sheer stockings to complete the look. The contrasting lengths creates balance in your outfit that is a popular trend during winter.
Whether you want to pair your dress with a statement jacket or a simple trench coat, the world is your oyster as long as it compliments your outfit
Faux Fur
Faux Fur accessories are coming back into season. We love seeing faux fur coats, jackets and wraps that add a wintery feel to your look. Faux fur accessories dramatise your look and make it feel more luxurious and expensive, which is the key to nailing winter fashion.
Accessories
Accessories can make or break an outfit. When accessorising, it is important to make sure anything you add compliments the look not overpowers it.
During the cooler seasons, we love seeing knee high boots, and chunky jewellery as these accessories really make a winter outfit look chic and sophisticated.
Undergarments
During winter, it is important to keep your warmth because nothing is more uncomfortable than being cold at an event or a night out.
We recommend to layer with undergarments such as tights and slips. Slips should be neutral tones to prevent from being seen under your dress. To keep with the winter colour tones, we love seeing nude or black tights, which can simply be paired with any outfit, whether its a mini dress or full-length dress.
