Denim dresses for the perfect casual look
Nothing says casual like denim - so slip on a denim dress for a look that's totally relaxed! This versatile fabric will work at every time of year. In summer, a cute denim dress can be worn with bare legs and sandals; in winter, wear one over a pair of tights to instantly transform your look for colder weather. Denim dresses are just as versatile as a pair of jeans. Look out for different styles, from mini dresses to chambray maxis. Pick the colour and wash that you prefer, whether you like classic stonewash or dark indigo. If you want to mix it up, try black or white denim and you'll be sure to turn heads.
Finding a denim dress to suit every body
There are so many different denim dresses out there - so how can you decide which one's right for you? First, think about colour. Darker colours are generally more slimming, so stick to indigo or navy if you're feeling shy about your figure. Style is important, too. The denim shirt dress is a real classic, but if you're pear-shaped or have an hourglass figure, ensure that yours has a nipped-in waist and an A-line skirt. This will emphasise your waist, neatly balancing out your figure. Girls with more rectangular figures can go for a sheath dress instead. Look out for denim pinafore dresses, too. These can look good on any body type. In particular, though, they're great if you feel self-conscious about your stomach. They'll help downplay the problem area, giving you a smoother shape.
How to work a denim shirt dress
Denim shirt dresses are an all-time classic! To go for a fun, casual look try rolling the sleeves up past your elbows. Thick, chunky roll-ups look relaxed and natural; this style goes equally well with a pair of white trainers or elegant heels, depending on where you're going. When you're just wearing a dress, it's important to think about accessories that bring your outfit together. A denim shirt dress always goes well with a belt. This can be thick or thin, depending on what you prefer; a brown leather belt with stone wash denim is a classic for a reason. Throw on some statement jewellery, if you like. If you're going to wear a special necklace, leave the top couple of buttons on your dress undone to show it off.
