The dress, which resembles a rectangle in shape, is one of the most sought-after outfits in the wardrobe of fashionistas. Similar dresses are to the liking of both those who love classic clothing and fans of minimalism. But, before you buy such a dress for yourself, it is worthwhile to figure out what attracts outfits of such a style, who they go with and what they usually wear with.
Features
Direct dress is a universal item of women's wardrobe, as it well emphasizes the femininity of the figure and is suitable for any occasion. Such an attractive and elegant model can be purchased instead of a classic sheath dress.
A variety of fabrics are used to make straight dresses. For example, for sewing summer models, air and light materials are chosen, for winter outfits - suit fabric, wool, gabardine or knitwear. Chiffon, lace, brocade, satin, silk and similar expensive fabrics are chosen to create evening dresses of this style.
Color variations of straight dresses are also very diverse. Models are decorated with drawings, embroidered elements, sequins, beads, lace inserts and other decor. Among summer dresses, direct dresses with animal motifs or floral prints are very popular.
Who is it for?
Such a style will suit a woman of any height - both tall (in this case he will emphasize a slim figure) and low (such a dress will visually add a few centimeters). But regarding the type of figure, a direct dress has its own requirements. This type of dress looks best on girls whose shape is similar to an hourglass or a rectangle.In the second case, the waist is usually emphasized with a thin strap.
Girls with a figure similar to an inverted triangle, an apple or a pear should not wear dresses of a direct silhouette. This style will further emphasize the broad shoulders, full hips or the presence of a stomach. If you really want to choose a straight dress, you should look for yourself a model with dark vertical side inserts.
Styles and models
Traditionally, a dress of this cut has a square or round neck and has a sleeve of different lengths. At the same time, modern models are more diverse. Knitted straight dresses belong to the sports style, and tight-fitting models of muted colors - to the office. Some dresses with a straight silhouette have an asymmetrical hem or flounce trim. An interesting variation in the cut of a straight dress can be called sharp shoulders.
With sleeves
Many straight dresses have a sleeve that can be either long or shortened. In this case, the color of the sleeve can be in tone with the outfit itself or contrasting. Models with one sleeve also look interesting.
Without sleeves
You can find straight dresses on the shoulder straps and on one shoulder. In addition, there are models of “pipe”, in which there are no straps. Long straight dresses can also have an American armhole.
Length
Long to the floor
Such dresses of a direct cut are most often chosen for a festive event, since this style has the ability to visually stretch the silhouette, adding elegance and harmony to the woman.
Midi
A straight knee-length dress is often chosen to create a business look. In this outfit, a woman looks elegant and restrained, so such a dress fits well in the dress code. In this case, black, dark blue, brown or gray dresses are most in demand. The decor for such models is used to a minimum, for example, it can only be a white lace collar.
Short
A straight mini dress will be a good choice for an anniversary, party, or corporate event. With such a dress, bright jewelry, a hairpin and a small handbag look good.
Does it fit complete?
Girls with very large hips or a large belly should be advised to avoid straight dresses. But with a small fullness, such outfits are quite appropriate in the wardrobe, especially if you select models with a vertical print or with dark inserts on the sides.
In addition, with the help of color accents, you can distract attention from problem areas, for example, choose a model with bright colors in the chest area or purchase a dress in which color combinations create the effect of a low waist.
What to wear?
- Complementing the straight silhouette dress with a jacket, you will receive a refined and elegant ensemble. Especially often this combination is chosen for models worn in the office.
- Under a short straight dress, you can wear tight black or bodily tights, which do not have a pattern.
- A good addition to a straight dress is a neckerchief.
Accessories
For a dress of a straight cut, it is important to choose accessories that will harmoniously look in the general ensemble. The most common jewelry option for this is called hanging earrings and a voluminous necklace. An interesting bright decoration of a straight modest outfit will be a flower on the shoulder or a massive necklace. If the sleeves of the dress are shortened, the bracelet will be an appropriate decoration.
As for a suitable bag, then for the evening along with a straight cut, pick up a small clutch, and a suitcase matching the tone of the product will suit an office style dress. Also, with a short straight dress, you can wear a volumetric bag of a rectangular shape.
Footwear
- The best option for shoes for an evening straight dress are stilettos.
- A strict office dress with a straight cut is worn with boats.
- A short straight dress made of thick fabric looks good with high boots that have thick heels or a platform.
