Dress combination, popular styles, stylish sets

What are the types

Slip dresses differ in appearance and cut. Designers are constantly coming up with more and more new types, using retro styles, asymmetry, and unusual finishing methods. Initially, the combination was a dress a la pajamas, very delicate and sometimes provocative; for the 20th century, such an outfit was on the verge of decency.

Modern fashion gives fashionistas freedom of choice; many types and styles are allowed from the arsenal:

Option with torn edges. From above, the dress looks like light pajamas, but the hem is distinguished by asymmetrical shapes, it looks as if the owner of the combination has fallen into the clutches of an animal. It is both erotic and strict, and you can even wear it to an official reception by choosing the right length and color;
The classic floor-length dress, which looks like underwear on top, was worn back in 1996 by Princess Diana. Then she appeared in public in a dark blue version from Dior. It was then that the brand released its first collection of similar dresses, and the author was the world famous John Galliano. Two years earlier - in 1994 - model Kate Moss stepped out in a sparkly dress that looked more like pajamas and reached mid-thigh;
The slit at the bottom of the dress highlights a separate type of combinations that are quite popular. Such things that emphasized women's legs were worn by Madonna, and now they are chosen by avid fashionistas. The slit can be on the side, front or back, the main thing for such a dress is so that everyone can see the treasured leg, but such things do not look provocative. When worn to an official reception, they will be no different from the classic options;
Despite the severity and inappropriateness in everyday life, the Victorian option is suitable for a dinner party or official corporate event. Sometimes fancy, often delicate, even a little childish combination dresses with lace, made in the style of the era when kings and queens ruled everything, will look good on any girl. A combination with bright makeup and a provocative hairstyle can give way to an elegant and delicate look that is reminiscent of movies about princesses. Victorian style can be varied, and even transforms into semi-gothic or grunge when combined with wide leather belts or massive jewelry;
Similar to the Victorian one can be called a version of a dress with a corset; on top it has a rigid frame, giving a slim figure, and the hem remains movable, freer, thanks to which the woman looks sophisticated and does not sacrifice her own comfort;
The antipode is considered to be a modern trend - a slip dress made of heat-saving foil, it was presented by several designers at once, and the options can be very different - from mini-dresses to clothes with a hem almost to the floor, everything is limited by the desire of the fashionista herself;
Recent collections have demonstrated another type of slip dress - a suit, it is sewn in the likeness of men's and women's formal suits, sometimes from the same material and even has pockets. Given the fashion, you can even wear a T-shirt and socks with slippers under it: anyway, the dress will not lose its luster and will arouse the admiration of others.

Regardless of the style, the pajama dress remains a popular wardrobe item that is not embarrassing to wear to the beach or a reception with the CEO. It will be appropriate in almost any situation.

How to recognize a slip dress

What is the difference between a lingerie-style dress and a regular style with thin straps? There are a number of features that slip dresses have:

weightless fabrics - satin, silk;
translucency;
deep cut;
the presence of lace trim, guipure or embroidery;
thin straps.

However, there is an important nuance: in order for this style to remain a dress and not be relegated to the category of underwear, it is necessary that one or more of the characteristic features be absent.

Thus, if your dress is made of satin and decorated with lace, make sure that it does not have a deep neckline. In this case, a boat neckline is more suitable.

If your silk “shirt” has a deep neckline, then make sure that its seductive appearance is compensated by the presence of sleeves or a midi or maxi length. A great option is a floor-length slip dress.

Who is suitable and not suitable

First of all, you need to decide who such a pajama dress might suit, and here it comes down to the figure:

If a woman is fragile in build, is not curvy, or only her breasts stand out, this is an ideal option. The dress will only highlight a thin waist, but not hide it, and a loose bodice will highlight almost the main female advantage, the weapon of the weaker sex - the chest;
For those with beautiful legs, combination dresses with a slit or a mini version that will barely cover the upper thighs are suitable. If the legs do not please their owner, it is quite possible to choose a long hem to hide the unsightly part of the body;
A slip dress is definitely not suitable for women with wide shoulders. On their figure, thin straps will clearly be out of place, but the situation will change if you choose wide options: the shoulders will not seem massive, adding femininity to the figure;
Less than others, pajama dresses are suitable for those with curvy figures, because they are fitted, and airy material looks extremely inappropriate on women with a larger body. Otherwise, if a girl wants to go to the beach, a party, a walk in the park or work, where an informal style is allowed, a slip dress will allow her to look impressive and strict at the same time.

The main purpose of such clothing can be called attracting attention to a woman, the opportunity to show her femininity and fragility. Considering the large number of different options, the slip dress is suitable for both sophisticated ladies going to a party and bosses who appreciate classic style. Versatility is also allowed because the cut makes it possible to combine dresses with:

Jackets and shoes;
Sneakers;
Cover your shoulders with a shawl or scarf;
Combine them with T-shirts and flip-flops.

Unlike the 20th century, not only fashionistas, but girls with a sense of style can afford to wear such a dress; in any image it will look organic and fresh.

Where to wear it?

Naturally, this tight-fitting type of clothing with an open top should not be worn to an office with a strict dress code, even in combination with a modest jacket. But, if you successfully combine such a dress with other things or sew it from thick linen or cotton, it can be used in everyday life.

Since in modern fashion a combination of styles is welcome, there can be an incredible variety of combination options. With a thoughtful combination of shapes and a play on contrasts, for example, in combination with a biker jacket and rough boots, it will fit perfectly even into a casual look. This democratic outfit can be worn for a walk, shopping or watching a movie. If you combine this dress with a white T-shirt and a short choker necklace, you will get a 90s style.

A more discreet style involves pairing this seductive and feminine outfit with a formal jacket or vest. To get the maximum effect, it is better to use plain fabrics for sewing. You can complement this look with suede ankle boots or pumps.

On vacation, wearing this outfit will make you feel elegant and comfortable at the same time. A more discreet style involves combining this seductive and feminine outfit with a formal jacket or vest. A choker to match the dress is a good idea.

Advice! Even opponents of open and seductive outfits can demonstrate this trend in tandem with closed T-shirts or turtlenecks.

What to combine with

A silk dress combination is the easiest to use in everyday life. This is a universal option that has been popular since the 90s. Princess Diana was seen wearing this outfit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gala.

Lady Di combined a dark blue dress with the following accessories:

A handbag according to the tone of the main color of the outfit;
The hem of the dress is decorated with black guipure, which is why the pumps were chosen to match;
The jewelry chosen was a necklace made of three strands of pearls with a large dark blue stone in the center and matching earrings.

Despite the simple execution, thanks to a well-thought-out image, it was possible to create impressiveness. At the same time, the current season offers methods of casual, Victorian, and Gothic styles. The combination of textured lace and smooth leather adds modernity.

The combination dress itself can be created using the following materials:

Silk or satin - looks impressive and bright in daylight;
Chiffon - for light, flowy dresses for the summer;
Cotton - for festive and printed outfits.

Everyday looks

For daytime outings, the dress combination is suitable even with the selection of a minimum number of accessories. It is worth considering that in such conditions there is no need to overload the image. It should be simple and easy. A beige dress is best - it can be easily emphasized with accessories and other things.

The most popular combination of such a product is with a jacket with three-quarter sleeves or a T-shirt. Here it is important to correctly combine textures and colors. The bottom is usually chosen to be plain and smooth - without shine or shimmer.

Daytime images should be supplemented according to the following principle:

Light cardigans - a short dress can be combined with a long knitted sweater in an oversized style. Large knitting will help make it light, implying that the loops do not fit tightly to each other;
Biker jacket - despite the fact that the dress is a light shade, you can complement it with a black jacket. You can wear sneakers on your feet, and a choker of the same strict style on your neck. The rough look of style 90 is suitable for everyday use and diversifies the routine;
Textured bodysuit - to achieve an extravagant appearance, it is worth complementing the outfit with a bodysuit with long sleeves and a round neckline. The jacket itself should be transparent, but with textured patterns;
A blouse with wide sleeves - it should be plain, but you can use textured elements. These include patterns according to the tone of the blouse;
Fur coat - in one of her appearances, Rihanna chose a risky combination. She wore a long white short fur coat over her slip minidress. The finishing touch to the look was a blue cap and silver sandals.

There are several options for footwear:

Sneakers - with metal or fabric inserts;
Shoes - pumps, black loafers;
Sandals - in silver tones, with metal details.

Evening looks

To create a spectacular evening look, a girl should rely on silk dresses in dark colors as a basis. Despite the fact that the beige option will be successful, it is complemented with a standard set of accessories. Shoes can be used in the same style. But jewelry should have medium-sized stones. Due to their colors, a single picture is formed. For example, the owner’s green eyes are set off by a necklace with stones of the same color.

In most images, jewelry is not used. They make the image heavier, and without them the overall style looks lighter and more comfortable.

Velvet combination dresses without any draperies are suitable for the evening. But they fit the figure very tightly and therefore highlight its flaws.

The formation of the ideal picture begins with the selection of colors. For evening events, a black dress is considered the simplest. At the same time, it is not easy to combine it. The only way is to wear a white short-sleeve T-shirt underneath the combination. When going out in the evening, you will need to pick something over your outfit. For a product made from black materials, you should choose a lighter cardigan, a light raincoat or a dark leather jacket.

For the cold season, you can wear a thin beige sweater under the dress. The option with a blue turtleneck also looks good. An appliqué, for example, with bright large flowers, will help highlight the image. An emerald-colored outfit looks impressive. The trim is suitable in the form of black lace. On top you can wear a black long cardigan with the same footwear. It is beneficial to choose combinations of black, brown and burgundy colors for this version of the dress.

A satin or silk slip style product is not suitable for all body types. It needs to be worn carefully - choosing accessories is not easy. Color combination is also important - since not all shades are easy to combine with each other. And the style of the dress itself plays a big role in shaping the overall look. The addition of accessories depends on the materials used and the scope of application of the product.

Fabrics

The style presented by the designers is weightlessness, seductiveness and lightness. These distinctive features can be realized by choosing appropriate materials. Flowing, iridescent textures are definitely present in the presented new products.

Fashion masters work with weightless silk, luxurious velvet and satin. You can't do without chiffon and satin. The finest lace and guipure are used for decoration. Many outfits are decorated with attractive appliqués and embroideries.

Designers create attractive new items from lace. Underneath you should wear something made of thick fabric. The second option is to create a multi-layered image. At the same time, the set remains residually frank, keep this in mind.

A leather dress is a current item created by a couturier. To some it seems aggressive, but with the right approach you can create a balanced image. To create new products, light leather is used to highlight feminine curves. The colors and length of the item vary depending on the preferences of the woman and the creator of the fashion masterpiece.
