The Best Styles of Summer Dresses

There's nothing more exciting than wearing your best summer dresses when the sun is out. Summer dresses are the perfect item of clothing for your holiday abroad, summer barbecues or chilling out in beer gardens with your friends. No matter what you'll find a summer dress which will make you feel stylish and cool on those hot summer days.

A summer dress will take you right through summer in style. You can dress down with a pair of sandals or flip-flops or you can easily glam them up with a pair of high-heels and some flashy jewellery.

If you have a summer dress you love but unsure about whether you can wear it when the weather changes, then you can combine it with a pair of leggings or tights and layer it up with a cardigan so you can keep extra warm in the winter.

There are so many different styles of summer dresses that you'll always be able to find one that suits your body shape and your style which will make you look fabulous in the sun. These 3 different styles of summer dresses are my top choices and are definitely in my wardrobe for the summer.

Strappy Dresses

Most summer dresses have narrow/thin straps and finish on or above the knee. These types of dresses often have an a-line shape, which is feminine and flatters most body shapes. They come in a huge range of styles and patterns so be sure to pick one that best suits you.

Maxi Dresses

This year maxi dresses are a must have for summer. The key thing with a maxi dress is to make sure that the length on them finishes right at your ankle.  A maxi dress is great for wearing day into night, simply switch your footwear from sandals to heels, add some sparkles and you're good to go party.

Strapless Dresses

The strapless dresses are cute and feminine so they're a great choice for summer if you want to show of your shoulders. By choosing a strapless dress it means you won't get the dreaded strap mark tan lines if you're wearing it out in the sun. If you do plan on wearing this style of dress then make sure you buy a good strapless bra. If you don't feel comfortable showing off your arms then throw on a light cardigan for that extra bit of cover up.

A Guide to Looking Slimmer What Ever Your Shape

If you look around you whilst out shopping you'll see that every woman will have a body which is a unique shape and size.Therefore it is very important you appreciate your figure and the way you look in order to find the best fashion styles for you! This will not only mean that you always look your best but it's a great way to feel young and look slimmer!

Apple Body Shaped

The apple body shape is a very common one amongst women. If you have this body shape and want to wear dresses which show of your curves you might want to try wearing some quality, well-fitting underwear which will make your stomach appear flatter. As for tops and skirts you will want ones that have a broad neckline. Also try and stay away from tight fitting clothes. Why not try wearing a belt around the waist as this will make you appear thinner.

Pear Body Shape

Pear shaped women tend to have less of a bust but have extended waistline and sometimes weighty legs. These women should wear outfits that show off their shoulders in the form of strapless dresses and singlet tops. You want to avoid bringing attention to your behind area so try to avoid wearing tight fitting jeans. Wearing patterned tops with frills will draw the attention away from your waist and will bring it to your upper body.

Hourglass Body Shape

This particular body shape is one that women want. Women with this particular shape usually have a large bust and nipped in waist and hips which appear to look equal to the bust. Women with this body type usually display it by wearing tight fit jeans, pencil skirts, and well fitted trousers to show off their legs. A fitted dress will also show of their figure but don't show too much skin as this will draw unwanted attention.

Rectangle Body Shape

Women with this body shape generally have broad shoulders and an average size waist therefore a round neck shirt would give them more of a feminine appearance. Stay away from halter necks as that will draw the attention to your shoulders. Wearing darker colours would also give a much slimmer appearance.

Top Ten Things We Love About Cheap Women’s Clothes

Over the years the word cheap has developed too many negative connotations and is used in too many different contexts to really be a solid definition of anything. Cheap women’s clothes for example are perceived as being made from low quality materials in unflattering shapes and poor fits. As all of us who shop at Everything5Pounds know though, this couldn't be further from the truth.

When it comes to ‘cheap’, they mean low cost. They put it in their name after all. In celebration of cheap women’s clothes, we’re going to take a quick look at the top ten reasons why we love them.

1# They are low cost, meaning we can buy more.

2# Fashion is becoming more and more disposable and trends change so fast it is tough to keep up. Thanks to the availability of cheap clothing we can always be on trend but not out of pocket.

3# It doesn't matter if we only wear something once.

4# You can mix and match cheap pieces with more expensive ones. No one will be able to tell.

5# We can indulge our love of shoes. A pair for every occasion? At £5 a pair you can.

6# You can create a whole outfit for £20.

7# There is no excuse not to look good. Cheap in price, high in quality means more clothes and more choice.

8# We can pick ourselves up when we are feeling blue without breaking the bank.

9# We can be adventurous.  Seen a style but not sure it’ll suit you, at £5 per item you can try it out. Be experimental.

10# They allow us to have the ability to express ourselves and have fun with fashion.

The list goes on and on but if you weren't a convert before I'm pretty sure this left will have left you reaching for your mouse.

Remember cheap doesn't always mean bad, think cheap is good for my wallet and my wardrobe.

Happy Shopping Ladies!
