In the summer months, most people would prefer to wear loose-fit summer dresses. But not everyone has the body shape to wear these simple dresses. For example, the slim woman with a narrow waist may find it difficult to wear a low rise sundress because her body type doesn’t work for that design. For these kinds of women, there are other options. There are sundresses that can flatter any body type, no matter how small it is. These styles are not restricted to traditional formal wear, but can also be worn casually.
A sundress may not be appropriate for a formal dinner or ball, but it’s cool and flattering on the beach, at the park, in the park, or at a picnic table. A summer dress is also a great option for wearing to a beach wedding. Most often, a summer dress is either an athletic type dress or a short legged sundress designed to be worn during summer months in warm climates, usually in a light or lightweight fabric, more often cotton, and often with long, stretchy sleeves. It can be a straight bodice, usually sleeveless, with a loose neckline, and can be backless and even fruitless. This type of dress is also appropriate for a party or evening dress because it doesn’t take much to accessorize the dress. Many women opt for bright, contrasting colors for their dresses, such as red, orange, yellow, or green. This bright color combination makes the dress pop and is more easily noticed by the eye than an ensemble of solid colors, which look more formal.
In addition to being comfortable and stylish, a summer dress is also more fun to wear than many women realize, especially for women who like to wear the more traditional formal attire for work. For example, it is easier to layer this type of dress under your jeans than with your shirt on, or to dress up a pair of dress pants for a casual night out. Even for professional women, a summer sundress can be the perfect choice. The added fun of dressing up an outfit with an outfit from the beach or an athletic apparel store can give it a more personal touch than a more formal dress, which can sometimes feel boring.
