There’s no denying the resurgence of Sixties vibes in luxury clothing. It’s influenced everyone from street style stars to celebrities like Eva Longoria and Lily-Rose Depp. But, for today’s weekend style post we’re looking into one item in particular – the shift dress. There’s something special about the fit of the right one that perfectly balances elegance with playfulness in an illusion of endless summer. Here’s how we’re planning on wearing the trend this weekend.
Hem Alert
Keep a check on your hemline. Most contemporary versions of the shift dress can appear in a variation of lengths and we’re aiming for that perfect length that grazes just a little higher than the mid-thigh. This length is what defines the ideal shift dress, aside from the sharp A-line structure that slims the figure and brings emphasis to toned legs. When selecting a piece for day, opt for shades of navy, white or suede that can easily transition into night when paired with the right accessories.
Statement Shoes
The Sixties were all about freedom. This weekend embrace your right to wear those vintage satin slippers or those beautiful kitsch Gucci loafers. Your shift dress will accentuate your legs so make sure to have some impeccably stylish footwear as you breeze into your early breakfast meeting or late lunch. A low heel with a slightly elongated sole provides a more elegant solution to sky-high heels.
Luxe In Lace
The right fabric can make or break a garment’s appeal. When selecting shift dresses for the evening make sure to look for textiles of unique quality such as handmade lace or finely spun tweed. This elaborate texture elevates the shift to a piece that’s worthy of the grandest soirées. However, as with most things, we advise you muster a high level of confidence to match your breathtaking style. You must portray effortlessness if you want to carry this look off.
