Sundress
That 's sorted out. Among the fair half of humanity, long sundresses, as well as models made of denim, are especially popular. As for colors, black and white are always relevant, and, of course, we can’t escape floral prints. Now let’s figure out what to combine these interesting things with.
What to wear with a long sundress
With a midi and maxi length arafan, it can become your best friend with whom you can walk and do necessary everyday activities. But seriously, in a long sundress you will look feminine, and besides, it allows you to hide some figure imperfections (if it has a loose fit and a distracting bright print). When choosing a color, be guided by your color type and pay attention to what colors are relevant in the season (we periodically post materials about this on our website, stay tuned for updates in the TRENDS section). As for prints, stripes (horizontal and vertical) and flowers are for all times.
To complete a casual look with a long sundress, the most important thing you will need are sandals. You can replace them with ballet flats or espadrilles, but the former are still more appropriate. The next important thing is a bag, it is better if it is large and roomy. In the summer, take a closer look at wicker variations. As for jewelry, bracelets (including large ones made of natural stone) and pendants on long chains are worth keeping in mind.
And also hats that will not only save you from the scorching rays of the sun, but also add variety to your look. Again, pay attention to the woven straw variations. The last attribute we will mention here is denim. A universal thing, suitable for a million sundresses. So, if the cool wind suddenly bothers you, don't forget about a denim jacket.
A long sundress is not so simple; with certain tricks, it can become the basis for an evening look. To do this, you will need elegant sandals with thin heels, a biker jacket, a clutch and (in some cases) a belt. Jewelry should also be replaced with more “elegant”, sparkling ones, or, on the contrary, restrained and laconic.
From the history
Many are sure that the sundress was invented as an element of the Russian national costume. In fact, clothing similar to a sundress was used back in Ancient Egypt.
The sundress came to Russia around the 16th century, most likely from the Middle East, since the very name of this style is of Persian origin. Initially, sundresses were clothing for the nobility, and it was an element of the men's wardrobe. Clothes were made from expensive fabrics, so they were inaccessible to ordinary people. Of course, men's models were not distinguished by excesses, they were not decorated with frills and ruffles, and were called the harsh word “shushun”.
But in the 17th century, sundresses finally and irrevocably “migrated” to the women’s wardrobe. Before Peter's reforms, these clothes were in the wardrobe of women of all classes. Of course, noble women wore models made of expensive fabrics and with richer decor, peasant women wore clothes made of homespun linen, but the cut of sundresses was approximately the same.
During the reign of Tsar Peter, sundresses were relegated to the level of clothing of commoners, while aristocrats were ordered to wear dresses in European fashion. But during the reign of Catherine, the sundress was again elevated to the Olympus of fashion, however, then the models were sewn on a frame. But the sundress “a la russe” was also worn by French fashionistas of that time.
The beginning of the 20th century was a time of wars and revolutions, so women forgot about this wardrobe item for a long time. But in the second half of the last century, the sundress returned to fashion and continues there today.

If in a luxurious maxi sundress you look like a beautiful feminine nymph, then a denim sundress will turn you into a hooligan girl. It’s like hello from a fun childhood due to its length no lower than the knee and its style.

The advantage of this sundress is that it can be worn with tights and boots, which means it is suitable not only for warm spring and hot summer.
As for shoes, we recommend in this story that you turn to espadrilles, loafers, sneakers, sneakers and sandals with tractor soles.

What to wear with a white sundress
Now let's look at the colors. A white sundress is one of the “keys” to the success of a summer look. It refreshes, regardless of length and style, and decorates (especially already tanned skin). So, if you are going to a resort, be sure to throw a white sundress in your suitcase.
A white sundress forms a stylish duet with a denim jacket or sleeveless vest. Wicker items go very well with it: handbags, hats, jewelry. For footwear, we again recommend neat sandals in brown, beige, coral, and black. But some sundresses (simple in style, above the knee length) will also go well with white sneakers, espadrilles and slip-ons. A very interesting look is obtained from a lace white sundress, jeans and rough boots or brown ankle boots. We also recommend pairing a white sundress with Birkenstocks, as well as wedge sandals.
Evening options
A stylish evening dress based on a sundress is very popular, as it allows you to open beautiful shoulders and demonstrate your cleavage. You can complement the outfit with an elegant necklace and a beautiful stole or silk scarf.
Brides can choose a sundress wedding dress, it can be short or floor-length. The first option is especially good if you are planning a beach party style wedding.
A long wedding dress with straps can be sewn with a corset that fits the waist, or in an empire style. This dress has wide straps and a straight, loose-fitting skirt. This cut visually increases the volume of the chest.
What to wear with a black sundress
A black sundress (especially in the case of an interesting style with unusual details and cutouts) is a very self-sufficient thing. If our streets were clean, then there would be no need for shoes.
And so, we advise you to choose minimalist sandals and the most unattractive sneakers. Let the sundress take everything upon itself and only upon itself.
If you are bored by such a proposal, then again take out the denim from the closet, or a biker jacket, or finally a long cardigan. Bring a large, colorful bag with you. Wear lots of woven bracelets and your favorite watch. A hat with a narrow brim and fashionable sunglasses. This way you will get a fuller bow suitable for a variety of occasions: from a walk along the coast to dinner with some interesting man.
THE END
Popular colors and prints
A traditional Russian sundress looks like a white dress with an ornament. Modern options are not limited to a certain color scheme. The choice is individual in each specific case, depending on the type of figure, hair color and skin.
Dark-haired women with light skin tones should avoid dark, cool tones and opt for pastel options such as cream, gray or pink. Brown-eyed dark-skinned women will suit bright, rich colors.
Blondes with blue or green eyes are a very soft type, so smoothed, calm pastel colors, for example, blue or pink, will highlight the image. Light beige shades are not recommended. They will simply blend into the skin.
Almost all categories are suitable for classic colors: white, black and red. Their combination has a long history and still does not go out of fashion. The right geometric prints can correct the figure, as they visually elongate the proportions. The ideal option for plus size girls is vertical stripes. Horizontal lines or polka dot colors visually increase proportions.
