It’s a no-brainer that satin dresses are the most “It” fashion item of these past few years. Even designer brands like Jonathan Simkhai (sooo gorgeous btw – go check it out) and Hugo Boss are showing some love for the trend. Incorporated with simplicity and elegance all in one, satin dresses are an absolute must-have in your closet. If you’re new to fashion or you have no idea how to wear them, keep on reading to see how you can experiment with the versatility of a satin dress… with eight different body-licious looks!
Start With The Basics
First things first: Let’s start with something a little simple. If you’ve got a basic white tee, wear it under your satin dress for a simple and modest look. This is perfect for any outing, whether you’re headed to the farmer’s market or going out for brunch with your besties. You’ll look elegant and casual at the same time.
Perhaps Something For The Evening?
Now, going for something a little more extravagant; oversized blazers are the perfect item to pair with a satin dress for that evening look. Complete with a pair of heels and a cute little bag, you can wear this look on date nights with your lover, to a formal dinner, or on a museum date – hey, how about that?
Leather It Is
Mm-hmm – this speaks to me; what better way to throw in a little twist by contrasting this dainty satin dress with a hunky black leather jacket and a pair of boots. The key to rocking this look is to combine all-leather, all-black accessories with a satin dress in a bright shade to give your look some edge. Perfect for a day out in the city!
Be The Life Of The Party
Earlier on, we talked about wearing a t-shirt underneath your satin dress – but let’s switch it up by wearing a printed white tee OVER your dress. Go for t-shirts with bright and vibrant designs to give it a fun and popping look, and to top it all off, bring in some gold and boldness with your accessories to show that you’re all about partying!
Keeping It Creative
If you’ve got a boring turtleneck lying around somewhere and you don’t know how to style it, here’s a snazzy little solution; wear it under a satin dress to put it to use! Once again, the key here is to create a little contrast in colours, so if your turtleneck is black or in a dark shade, wear it under a cream-coloured satin dress or any shade that’s brighter. This is also a perfect look for a romantic night out, and we know this looks great cause all the hijabi girlies out there are rocking it!
Something For The Office
If you need an outfit that looks elegant and formal, but with a touch of casualness, this is the perfect look to go for. All you gotta do is pull on a comfy sweater over your satin dress and you’re good to go! Oh, and it’s a bonus if you can pull off this look in monochrome.
Keeping It Dramatic
A perfect look for a picnic date, opt for an oversized blouse to wear under your satin dress for that dainty look. If you want to show off your shape a little more, tie a belt around your waist to create that cinched look or leave it as it is cause this look is hella cute on its own!
Lazy But Looking Cute
Another way you can add a casual touch to your elegant satin dress; a button-up shirt. All you’ve got to do for this look is just to wear it over your dress, leave it unbuttoned and tie the ends together. It’s the perfect outfit for a vacation in Italy and it takes almost zero effort!
