As the weather warms up, tights and boots are starting to fade. And skirts and dresses are coming out of the closet more. Short dresses can be tricky, but that shouldn’t put you off. More often than not, such hesitation would involve questions about the appropriate length, what to wear under the dress, and what to remember when wearing a short skirt. However, when treated appropriately, a short skirt is a stylish option; you can even wear it to the office.
If you plan to wear a short dress, here are some essential points you should pay attention to:
Always wear proper underwear
Panty lines can ruin any ensemble, no matter how beautiful the dress is. The only way to fix it is to wear seamless underwear. A body shaper can also accentuate your curves and create a flattering silhouette.
Wearing shorts under short dresses is essential to avoid unwanted exposure to your underwear. These garments are also quite comfortable so that you will get extra discomfort-free protection. Choose shorts in neutral colors (nude or black) or in colors that match your dress. In addition, make sure that your dress fully covers the lengths of your shorts.
Choose the right length before wearing a short dress.
The term short can mean a variety of lengths for different people. So how do you know that a short dress is just the right length or too short? In my opinion, it depends on each person and their preferences. The most important thing is to be comfortable. I prefer a “just above the knee – D” length, as shown in the photo below. This allows me to wear it even in the office or for professional meetings while remaining appropriate and elegant.
If you want to wear mini dresses, don’t choose them too tight.
Proper fit is essential for all dresses and especially for short skirts. Choose snug minis that are tight enough in all the right places but not super fast or so tight that it becomes unflattering. Not only will your movement be restricted by a too-tight dress, but super-tight dresses also tend to ride up when you move, especially when you sit down.
Do not wear too many accessories when wearing a short dress
With short dresses, your legs are your most prominent accessory. Don’t distract them by over-accessorizing. If you must wear other supplements, keep them simple and minimal.
Do not show all parts of your body.
With short dresses, it’s easy to go from chic to vulgar. One way to ensure you’re choosing the right dress is to balance the outfit. For example, with the minis, you already show the legs, so it is better to cover the rest of your body.
What to wear with short dresses
The shorter the dress, the lower and thicker the heel. For example, a slightly pointed flat ballet shoe, a wedge heel, or a block heel all work with shorter dress lengths.
So there you have it, it’s easy to wear a short dress and look confident and stylish. All you have to do is follow the tips above. You can even apply these tips to your short skirts.
