The combination of large elements of various colors, often very different and even creating sharp contrasts, in one dress is the basis for creating a combined dress.
Combination Methods
Using a combination dress in two colors, you can hide some of the features and highlight the benefits. Are you already interested? All details will be disclosed below.
Draw a figure
The presence of two opposite colors on the dress is a proven method that allows you to visually give the figure the correct shape. One color of the dress is located in the center, and the other is located on the sides. It turns out that the silhouette of the perfect figure is outlined on the outfit itself.
Contrast color side panels
This method of creating a combined dress is known to every designer. Such outfits slim the figure, make it more narrow and graceful.
Most often, in combined dresses of two colors, you can find side inserts in black, but other color variations are also popular.
The top is light, the bottom is dark and vice versa
Another classic option. In such a dress, the chest will appear larger and the hips slimmer. If you want to achieve the opposite result, then you need to choose a dress with the opposite combination of colors.
Divided vertically
If you are going to a party, feel free to wear an outfit consisting of two halves of different colors. While the guests will understand what color your dress is, you can do a photo shoot, demonstrating different dresses.
The color scheme of the dress can change during the evening, if you use an optical illusion. The sensational outfit was a blue chameleon dress with black lace, which some people perceived as blue-golden.
Diagonal stripes
If a horizontal strip visually expands the boundaries of the figure, then a diagonal strip envelops it, softly fits it, and outlines contours and bends.
With geometric elements.
It is very fashionable to break the dress into colored “blocks”, hence the name of the popular style “color-blocking”.
Dresses in a similar style can be matched to any figure and look fashionable, unusual, with a hint of avant-garde and outrageous.
Stripes vertically and horizontally
A dress that slims is often created from vertical stripes, the number of which sometimes does not have an aisle. Mostly used classic combinations, for example, white and blue, or shades of the same color. Bright models are also in fashion, in which unusual colors are surprisingly successfully combined.
For a gala evening, you can choose a dress with one wide strip. The effect of harmony will be ensured.
Fashion experts say that horizontal stripes are fattening. And this is partly true if they are wide. They will add harmony and add a few centimeters to the longitudinal shallow and densely spaced stripes.
Belt imitation
One small element in the dress is capable of making the waist narrower and more graceful - a wide insert made of dark material that replaces the belt. By dark it is not necessary to mean black - any saturated shade will be appropriate.
With contrast print
A plain casual or evening dress will become attractive if the main color is diluted, for example with peas of a contrasting color, a floral print, lace applique or a sequin pattern.
Styles
Even such sophisticated outfits, which are combined dresses, are embodied in various styles. Some are familiar and familiar, others are unusual and very interesting.
Trapezoid
Combined a-line dresses are relevant among all the multi-colored madness of models. The optimal length is slightly above the knee - in this case, the image will be moderately restrained and even a little sexy.
Skater
Universality and femininity are characterized by combined short dresses of a fitted style with a sun skirt. When combining two colors, the effect of the presence of not a single outfit is created, but the combination of two separate things.
Case
A classic two-tone dress is often used to shape the office look. Even for a strict dress code, dresses in black and white are excellent.
Dress transformer
The ease of use of the two-tone transforming dress could not go unnoticed. Designers add elastic belts to such models, from which it is possible to create various straps variations without special work and special skills.
To the floor
Among modern evening looks, you can often find the longest two-tone dresses that look quite bright and elegant, but not too elaborate.
For full
Looking through the photos of two-tone dresses, it seems that they were created specifically for full women who are trying in every possible way to hide their shortcomings. Their ability to visually build a figure is invaluable only when the color accents are correctly placed, a successful style is chosen and the fabric is perfectly matched to the texture.
Often in combined dresses of large sizes, black is used. With it you can create a large number of combinations using a variety of colors.
Placing a wide strip in light color against the background of a long black dress will add harmony and visually correct the lines of the figure.
Chubby ladies are advised to pay attention to the contrasting diagonal strip, which is located in the hem.
Horizontal stripes should not be considered at all - this is a taboo for full women. Although if you want to highlight the chest, then one horizontal strip in the neckline will not hurt.
Knitwear is a loyal friend of overweight women. An excellent fit and a good combination of materials with different colors will be beneficial to look on curvaceous.
Knitted patterns
Knitted two-tone dress has soft transitions from one color to another. The contrast effect is soft and unobtrusive. The reason lies in the large knitting, which cannot be combined with spectacular and sharp color transitions.
For winter, two-tone sweater dresses made of knitted materials are often chosen. Combining such an element is good with leggings. In this way, you will not freeze, and your winter bow will be interesting and convenient.
What to wear?
Dress it is a dress: regular or two-tone - there is not much difference when it comes to talking about the principles of image formation.
Consider only one invariable rule when choosing a handbag or outerwear for a combined colored dress - there should be no more than three colors that are present in your image.
For a bright dress, you need to select accessories of a neutral color. It is allowed to choose one accessory and choose its color to one of the shades that are present on the dress. Modern fashion no longer welcomes the use of bags and shoes of the same color, considering it a bad manners.
The color blocking style does not apply here and this rule does not apply to such images.
Care
Problems with a two-tone dress are related to its washing. There is always a chance that one of the flowers on the dress will shed and ruin the entire outfit. This is especially true for black and white models.
Buying quality clothes, you can not be afraid for the onset of such trouble. If you doubt the quality of the fabric, then you can not resort to permanent dry cleaning services. The dresses combined in color are washed at home manually in warm water. It is recommended to use chemicals that fix the color of dyed fabrics. In their absence, you can use a solution of ordinary table vinegar (for 3 liters of water you will need only 1 tablespoon).
Two-tone dresses are worthy of your attention, a place in the wardrobe and the title of favorite among your favorite outfits.
I love contrasting options. 2 colors - this is exactly the ideal that makes the image spectacular and not clumsy. Black and white and blue and white are 2 of my favorite combinations.
