How to Pick the Best Strapless Dress?

A strapless dress is one of the most stunning and comfortable pieces of clothing. However, you shouldn’t just select any that you find online or in the mall. Strategically choose a strapless dress can maximizes comfort and boosts confidence.

First, a strapless dress is for the bold and daring, so it must fit you well. You don’t want it falling off in the middle of your night out or date. (I’ve been there.) Also, it’s important to pick comfy fabrics, to make sure you feel great as you wear this magnificent fashion piece.

With that said, here’s a guide on how to select the best strapless dress:

 

Fabric

Fabric is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a strapless dress. You can choose it based on comfort or the occasion you are attending. For more formal occasions, it would be best to pick fancier fabrics like velvet or even satin. These fabrics are classy and elegant, making them the ideal choice for evening events and weddings.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a more casual outfit, jersey and cotton fabrics are best. This is because they give you freedom of movement and unmatched breathability, rendering them an excellent pick for relaxed and casual events.

Also, make sure you layer your strapless dress perfectly to ensure maximum comfort.

 

Design

Like most dresses, strapless dresses come in different designs. Therefore, it's important to choose according to your style and occasion.

For instance, you can choose a pencil strapless dress. Most of us love a dress that hugs our bodies to ensure all the features are properly highlighted. However, this would not be the right fit for some official occasions. Choose a pencil strapless dress for weddings, night outs and other non-formal occasions.

Also, when you choose a loose-fitting strapless dress, it’s good to consider your comfort and the occasion you’re aiming to attend. These are great for wearing when you’re going out with friends, as they offer freedom of movement. Again, they’re great for weddings, so don’t feel like there are limited options when it comes to strapless dresses.

 

Choose the Right Size

As pointed out, it would be very uncomfortable and awkward if your strapless dress began slipping in the middle of an event.

Like all clothes, you should pick a strapless dress that fits you properly. This ensures that you can remain as comfortable as possible throughout the day. To pick the right size, you can always try out the dress before you make a purchase.

On the other hand, if you are going to buy a strapless dress online, you should take your measurements, and compare them to the dresses available. Fortunately, online purchases include a chart to indicate the right measurements for a given piece of cloth.

So, take a measurement tape, write down your measurements and make sure the dress you buy matches these measurements.

 

Styling Tips

Now that you know how to pick the best strapless dress, we’ll give you a few styling tips to make sure you look good on every occasion.

 

• Undergarments

It’s vital to pick the right undergarments for both support and comfort when wearing a strapless dress. For instance, you can choose a fitting strapless bra for your strapless dress. Make sure it offers sufficient support and doesn’t create lumps. Also make sure it is the right size.

Alternatively, you can choose an adhesive bra for that perfect look. They have direct contact with your skin and offer incredible support. Again, adhesive bras are perfect if you’re wearing a dress with low cuts at the back, and other sexy back designs, because they remain concealed and still offer the much-needed support.

Also, you can wear shapewear that’s comfortable; but make sure it’s not too tight.

 

• Accessories

It’s important to accessorize properly so that you don’t look confused. For instance, if you are going to meet friends in a coffee shop then you should probably wear a simple; strapless dress, flat shoes and a handbag.

However, if you’re attending a gala dinner you’ll have to up your accessories game. Wear your bold necklace, statement earrings, high heels, elegant strapless dress, and classy clutch bag.

 

In Conclusion

In a nutshell, picking the best strapless dress doesn’t have to be difficult; consider fabric, size as well as design. Also, make sure you wear comfortable undergarments and accessorize well.

By mastering how to accessorize your strapless dress, you can attain elegance and increase poise for any occasion.
