Length
So, a dark blue dress is suitable for a variety of occasions, you just need to find the right model. The first thing to consider is the length of the dress.
Long
A long dress in dark blue is, of course, an option for special occasions. A wedding, a graduation party, New Year's Eve - these are exactly the situations when a dress on the floor will be most welcome.
A long dark blue dress can be with a corsage or with a closed bodice, have a tight-fitting skirt or a fluffy one. There are evening models with long guipure sleeves, as well as asymmetric dresses with only one sleeve. The girl, dressed in a long dress in dark blue, as if shrouded in mystery, therefore inevitably arouses the interest of others.
Midi
The choice of dresses of medium length is simply huge: these are frivolous sundresses, and casual dresses from knitwear, and loose dress-shirts, and cases.
Fans of dark blue always have several dresses of different models in their wardrobe that help out in any situation. Midi dresses have one big advantage - they can be worn at a variety of events, regardless of format. In a dark blue dress with a knee-length skirt, you can come to work and then go on a date.
A short
A short dark blue dress can be an outfit for a hot summer day or for a cocktail party, it all depends on the chosen style and fabric.
Cocktail dresses are usually sewn from more dense materials. The dress in which you are going to go dancing can fit your figure or have a full skirt (in the latter case, the model is a bit like a tutu). The top options can be infinitely many: open bodice, neckline, American armhole, etc. Lightweight summer dresses are usually sewn from thin, natural fabrics and the style is often quite straightforward.
Lace, guipure
A woman dressed in a lace dress looks incredibly attractive. At the same time, the dress does not have to be transparent: models with a neutral or contrasting lining look no less impressive.
Navy blue lace can be a great outfit for a cocktail or for a gala evening. A lace dress closed in front, but with a deep neckline at the back, looks very nice. Such a dress is the most suitable occasion to demonstrate a beautiful posture. Those who do not like openwork dresses can be advised models with lace details, for example, with guipure sleeves.
Velvet
A dress made of dark blue velvet is a real classic. It is perfectly suited for ceremonial and cultural events. In this outfit, you can appear at a dinner party and at a theatrical premiere.
A velvet dress is most often a long, tight-fitting figure, with a beautiful neckline on the chest or on the back. To along with the blue velvet you can wear your very best jewelry, but remember that the sparkle should be in moderation.
Satin
Atlas is a fairly dense and heavy material, so it is best to choose it for evening dresses.
Satin dresses can be not only long, but also mini. The only thing to consider is that this fabric is poorly draped, so finding a satin dress with a full skirt will not be easy. When choosing jewelry to along with from the satin, remember that this material glistens in artificial light, so try to do without a lot of rhinestones and other shiny details.
Dotted
Polka-dot dresses, although they belong to the retro style, look most harmonious on very young girls. As a rule, it is a short dress with a mischievous pleated skirt.
However, a polka dot dress is not always a frivolous outfit. Older girls can choose a medium-length model, straight or slightly tight, with a strap matching the pattern.
With a collar
Dresses with a collar, despite the fact that they are usually associated with a business style, look very nice. In such a dress, even an already adult girl can feel like a high school student. A dark blue dress with a collar can be worn both for study and work, and then appear in it at a meeting with friends.Collars can be made from the same fabric as the dress, or they can have a contrasting texture and color. Flirty ribbons on the collar will add lightness and romance to a strict look.
What to wear?
A dark blue dress is good because on the basis of this garment you can create many sets suitable for a variety of occasions. Experiment - change shoes, accessories, jewelry, invent your own, unique images.
Accompanying a dark blue dress with glossy red shoes and the same lipstick, you can turn into a real seductress. And having thrown a strict jacket over a dark blue dress and picking up a voluminous matte leather clutch, you can play the role of a business woman.
Jewelry
Dark blue - the color is restrained and calm, so the image in this color scheme can be safely diluted with all kinds of decorations.
If we are talking about an evening dress, then jewelry made of gold and silver is perfect for it. Sapphires in white gold harmonize perfectly with a dark blue dress. For light, summer looks, simple but high-quality jewelry is suitable. For example, a romantic dark blue dress can be complemented with bright beads or large earrings made of multi-colored beads or stones.
Tights
Tights for a navy blue dress need to be selected depending on the season. A universal option is thin tights of flesh-colored or with a slight tint of tan.
In the cold season, black tights - translucent or dense - will suit such a dress.
Colored tights periodically return to fashion, so you can safely put on tights of bright colors, for example, green or yellow, to a casual dress in dark blue.
Shoes
It’s great if you have black or beige shoes in your wardrobe - they are perfect for a dark blue dress, however, as well as for almost any outfit.
No need to ignore shoes in contrasting colors.
Red, yellow or green shoes will look really dark with a dress of dark blue color, provided that you can guess with a shade.
Classic boats are suitable for an elegant dress, and for summer along you can buy sandals or sandals of neutral colors.
Makeup
The biggest mistake that girls make when choosing makeup for a dark blue dress is the predominance of blue and blue colors. Stylists advise not to try on the image of the Snow Maiden, but to stay on a warmer, contrasting palette.
Experiment with golden, beige and pink shades of shadows. For lips, choose a lipstick with a bright or, conversely, natural tone. To create the effect of volume, use lip gloss.
Manicure
Blue varnish looks really beautiful only on well-groomed hands. If you can boast of impeccable manicure, then you can choose one of the shades of blue varnish for a dark blue dress.
Light glossy varnish allows you to hide all the defects of manicure, in addition, it always looks natural and does not catch the eye. For everyday manicure for a dark blue dress, we recommend choosing a soft pink or beige varnish. To create a bright image, use a varnish of saturated colors, for example, scarlet or emerald.
The dark blue dress is universal: it can be worn both for work, for a walk, and in a cafe. It seems to me that it is better to make a manicure neutral.
