Business style is one of the most conservative trends in clothing. Modern business suits - both male and female - differ very little from those worn several decades ago. This style is least affected by fashion trends, and therefore, business clothes bought today are likely to remain relevant for several more years.
Strict things are present in the wardrobe of all girls whose work is not related to physical labor or creativity - and there are most of them in the modern world. Many companies, taking care of their own image, restrict their employees in choosing work clothes. All employers have different requirements: someone is limited to the vague definition of “business style”, while someone prescribes the color of the shirt and the height of the heel.
Today's article is devoted to the problem of most chubby girls: how to choose a strict dress that will look beautiful and elegant on curvaceous forms?
Features
Business dresses have several characteristic features, among which:
- semi-tight silhouette - not too loose, but also not tight;
- restrained colors - light or dark, but not flashy colors;
- lack of patterns, with the exception of a discreet geometric pattern;
- skirt length to the middle of the knee or below (sometimes a skirt 5 cm above the knee is allowed);
- dense, opaque fabrics of high quality.
Despite the rather stringent requirements, a business dress is not necessarily a boring, conservative outfit. Even within the framework of a strict dress code, you can allow yourself some experiments, for example, with a combination of colors or with a combination of fabrics.In addition, there are a lot of options for office dresses, so every girl will be able to find the one that suits her figure.
Business style
A-Line Dress
One of those styles that look most advantageous on girls with curvaceous shapes. A trapezoid dress has a tight bodice and a flared skirt. This silhouette allows you to mask full hips and emphasize the chest - especially if the dress has a V-shaped neckline. Long skinny sleeves complement the elegant, restrained look.
Case
This is a classic kind of business dress. It is a simple dress with a shallow round neckline and a semi-fitted narrowed skirt to the middle of the knee. This style fits well on all the girls, and chubby young ladies are no exception.
Wrap Dress
Another model that perfectly masks curvaceous. A triangular notch on the chest lengthens the neck, and a loose skirt hides excess volume in the hips. The smell creates a vertical line at the waist and skirt, which is able to visually stretch and narrow the figure.
What to wear?
A jacket or a plain cardigan can be thrown over a business dress made of thin fabric or a sleeveless case. Tights and stockings can be only two options - flesh-colored or opaque black. Fancy pantyhose or fishnet stockings does not allow office dress code.
The bag should be designed in the same style as the shoe, but it may not match its color. Chubby girls are better off choosing large models — shoulder bags or “envelopes”. Tiny clutches should be discarded, as small handbags come in sharp contrast with the magnificent figure.
Decoration for the office you need to choose restrained, discreet. It can be small earrings of gold or silver, a chain with a pendant, a thin bracelet or a pair of rings.
Footwear
High heel is the most reliable assistant for owners of luxurious shapes. Heeled shoes not only add a few centimeters in height, but also make us keep our heads straight and straighten our backs: beautiful posture has not spoiled more than one girl. In addition, the heel visually reduces the volume of the leg, which is especially important if you wear a dress that opens this part of the body.
The shoes that we choose for a business dress should be quite strict. This means that bright sandals, frivolous sandals or over the knee boots are not suitable for us. Preference should be given to classic models: pumps or simple office shoes with thick heels. In the cold season, ankle boots or boots with a narrowed leg to the knee will suit the business dress.
Selection tips
- Black, gray and brown are the traditional colors of the business style. However, do not get too carried away with them, because the office style allows for other shades of clothing. Take a look at the dresses of light colors: beige, cream, peach. If you prefer dark tones, then pay attention to the deep shades of blue, burgundy and green.
- Often chubby and girls once and for all choose one style of dress for themselves, reminiscent of a shapeless hoodie. Do not try to go this way! Each figure is individual, so you need to constantly try on different models: among them there are sure to be a few in which you will look perfect.
For a business look, I always have a lot of jackets at home that complement almost any dress and make an office look.
