For the most part, white is often an uncommon color to wear when it comes to casual gatherings, semiformal events, and formal galas. White dresses are sometimes associated with weddings and therefore overlooked when the time comes to choose an outfit for a special event.
Now, some of the most creative and fabulous designers are featuring gorgeous hot white dresses for 2011, including a broad range of casual and formal dresses. White garments look particularly amazing during the spring and summer seasons. Regardless of what your occasion may be, this how-to article will guide you to the latest fashion trends in white dress apparel and complimentary accessories.
Casual Attire
• The Beachy Look
Beach-inspired white dresses are fun, flirty, and most importantly, comfortable. They are usually made with a few layers of sheer or cotton fabric and have a careless, naturally beautiful feel to them. Throw one on with some flat, strappy sandals and layered beaded necklaces for a complete ensemble.
• The Shirt-Dress
For a sexy, professional look, wear a white collar shirt dress with a colored belt and closed-toe pumps. Fold the sleeves over for a three-quarter sleeve length and stack on a few bangles or bracelets for a professional diva outfit. For extra flair, complete this outfit with a black boyfriend blazer and vibrant, red lipstick.
A Semi-Formal Affair
• The 1920's Flapper Style Inspired Dress
Once popular costumes, flapper dresses are one of the hottest trends right now. Flapper style dresses are usually short, sexy, shiny, and have fringe detailing on the hem of the garment. For a real 1920's look, accessorize with silk gloves, fishnet tights, a fancy head band and patent leather pumps.
• The Strapless Mini
A tried and true classic style that combines sexiness with sophistication is the strapless mini dress. Form-fitted and curve-hugging, this style is a timeless staple in every bombshell beauty's closet. Wear a white strapless mini dress with gorgeous Swarovski crystal jewelry and metallic accessories for a complete diva look.
Formal Events
• The Knee-length Halter Dress
For formal attire, the key is to wear a dress that strays far away from a wedding gown silhouette. A form-fitted, knee-length silk halter dress is a great sleek and chic option that is bound to turn heads. Choose to accessorize with either silver or gold jewelry and opt for matching metallic heels to tie the entire outfit together.
• The Mermaid Dress
Another sexy style that looks absolutely gorgeous in white is the mermaid dress. Look for a heart-shaped strapless neckline and a slightly thick, non-sheer fabric; this particular style is meant to be form-fitted and will enhance all of your curves. Embellish this look with sexy, strappy heels and either Swarovski crystal or diamond jewelry for a total princess ensemble.
White dresses are beautiful, sexy, and extraordinarily classy, regardless of what your event may be. Try on some of our most popular styles and you will feel like the ultimate diva. Ashley Adam
