You’re lucky enough to have booked yourself a quick getaway. You’ve been desperate for some summer sunshine for a long time now and it’s creeping up on you much quicker than you ever expected. Super stylish ideas have never been your strong point, but this time you really want to make an impression and feel like a sun-soaking sovereign. If you’re lucky enough to be escaping this winter then help is at hand. It’s so difficult to find new and fashionable summer attire when Jack Frost is nipping at your nose. But what would you say if I told you it was possible to create a whole new summer wardrobe using only your sundresses from last season? An impossible task, you may imagine. It’s actually extremely easy, so stay tuned and take note of some simple ways to style out your sundresses.
GO CHIC WITH SHOES
Did you know that changing up your footwear can completely restore an outfit from old and outdated to chic and unique? Grab your favourite pair of pumps or trainers and create a quirky casual look. Team these shoes with an old sundress and it’ll look completely different. Wearing trainers with dresses is so in style so try it out sooner rather than later.
Now here’s a little fun challenge that everyone can do. Dig out all of your summery footwear and line up all your dresses. Play a little game of mix and match and see what combinations you come up with. You’ll find yourself pairing things up that you would never have imagined. It’s a great way to inject some inspiration into some of your old shoes and dresses. Mixing things up will ultimately lead to a brand new luscious look.
HOW TO WEAR A PLAYSUIT AS A TOP |
ADD ASTOUNDING ACCESSORIES
You want to create something distinctive for your dresses, so let’s talk accessories. Bold hats and over-sized sunglasses can make a drab dress into a drop-dead gorgeous one. Whether you’re styling out your sleeveless button front sundresses or pampering your pleated petticoats, an accessory is an awesome addition.
Jewellery can also be the ultimate sundress moderniser. You’re looking at a loose-hemmed and slightly too long dress right now and you need it to shake it up a bit. Add a touch of colour in the form of a necklace or earrings and your sundress will look super hip.
BELOVED BAGGAGE
A handbag isn’t just a useful piece of equipment to keep your phone and lip gloss safe. It’s a beautiful, bold statement which can jazz up a wonderful outfit instantly. Whether you’re fancying a small and sweet clutch or an over-sized, audacious shoulder bag, it’ll make your sundress go from shabby to stylish in a flash.
It’s almost certain that you’ve got a pile of beautiful bags in the corner of your room that are just gathering dust. Take this opportunity to have a proper look at your old baggage and put them to good use. There’s an old, but bold red tote hidden underneath there, which would completely transform a plain white number that you were almost getting rid of. Make it into a nautical look by throwing on a pair of blue pumps with them. Red, white and blue is a beauty.
COORDINATE YOUR COSTUMES
You should think about matching up your swimsuit to your sundress too. Don’t go too overboard with a matchy-matchy makeover, but definitely try and coordinate your costumes. Consider the best swimwear for your body type and create a flawless and flattering look that you’ve never seen before. Sometimes a matching sundress and swimsuit can make a striking statement. People will admire your innate sense of imaginative colour combinations, so be bold, bright and beautiful.
The versatility of sundresses is astounding, so don’t underestimate how adaptive they can be, depending on the occasion. If you haven’t got much time to convert from daytime doll to evening angel then consider keeping your outfit the same. Throw on a pair of jaw-dropping heels and a twinkling necklace and you’ll be glammed up in a matter of moments. It’ll save you so much space in your suitcase if you can double up on some of your sundresses. Don’t be afraid to be an outfit repeater. The chances are, nobody will even recognise that your evening ensemble was the same as your sun-soaking outfit.
