Dos of wearing a bodycon dress

Here are a few dos to keep in mind while wearing a bodycon dress.

  • Flaunt your best feature
Find a bodycon dress that highlights your best assets. A strapless or halter neck dress will show off your toned shoulders and collarbones. On the flip side, a short dress will show off your legs.
  • Try layering
If a body-hugging dress makes you feel self-conscious, give layering a try. Throw on a loose cardigan for a casual look or a blazer for a more office-appropriate look.
  • Pick a thicker fabric
Picking a bodycon dress made from thin fabric will hug at all the wrong places. On the flip side, a thicker fabric won’t accentuate your self-conscious areas. To create a more neat and structures look, pick detailed dress like ribs and panelling.
  • Try a darker shade
The shade of the dress plays a large role in styling your bodycon dress. Opting for darker shades will help you feel more confident. And we all know how black and dark colours are way more flattering. So, why not make a black bodycon dress your go-to outfit for all events?

Don’ts of wearing a bodycon dress

Do not do the below things to look beautiful in your bodycon dress.

  • Don’t over accessorize
A bodycon dress is a style statement in itself. Adding too many accessories will ruin its look. Therefore, choose accessories that are minimal and simple, which enhance the style of the dress.
  • Flats are a big no-no
A bodycon dress screams fashion whose vibe can be killed with flats. Heels amp up the look of the dress while helping your silhouette appear slimmer and taller. Also, you can pick wedges, pumps or stilettos as all of them work well with the dress.

Its time to stop feeling self-conscious and shy in a bodycon dress. Hold your head high and flaunt all you have got.
