KNOW HOW TO ACCESSORIZE A FLORAL SKATER DRESS

Wondering why everyone is obsessed with the Skater Dress? The answer is simple – this versatile piece isn’t too figure hugging, yet manages to cinch your waist and drape over your hips with a slight flare. The breathability and ease it offers means anyone can wear it without feeling too self conscious about their body type.


Possibly as fresh and flirty as the skater dress is the floral print! These two go together like summer and a cool lemonade... a match made in heaven. Floral printed dresses add much more interest to your ensemble than a solid coloured one, however, one must choose fashion accessories that are well thought through so as to not appear too visually overwhelming. 


When accessorizing your floral printed skater dress, keep these things in mind:

  1. Shoes – When selecting shoes to go with your floral skater dress, consider where you are headed and the setting. For summer, strappy sandals is a great choice. Flat or low heel sandals are lovely when wearing your summery dress for periods that require long walks – such as sightseeing on a vacation. High heels paired can take your skater dress for a dressy night affair, and if your office is casual, simply don classic pumps and a jacket.
  2. Jewelry – Floral dresses can sometimes look very busy. To combat excessiveness, simple jewelry is a good rule to follow. A small distinctive necklace compliments a floral dress beautifully. The same goes for earrings – understated gold, silver or pearl studs add to visual appeal. You can also choose to skip the necklace and opt for bangle bracelets instead.
  3. Belts – Experimenting with different accessories can result in completely different looks. A great way to add a pop of colour and contrast is by adding a belt. For multi coloured floral skater dresses, choose a belt in one of the colours of your dress. A sizzling combination is a black and white floral skater dress with a wide red belt. 
  4. Tights – Floral printed dresses don’t have to be saved for summer days. Transition them into cooler weather by donning tights under the dress. Make the right colour choice to get a complete look. Grey tights can be worn with dresses having a dark background and small floral prints, while black tights look great with a black dress having pop of bright flowers. 
  5. Others – Things such as boots, scarves and leather jackets (in any colour) gives an edgy look to a feminine dress. In addition, they are great ways to take the same dress to different settings. Go professional with a blazer, party with studded heels or brunch with a bandana. The options are limitless!

Dress Your Wardrobe This Season


Ladies dresses are definitely etched into the annals of fashion history. Let’s not even go into the umpteen princesses, celebrities, First Ladies, actresses, performers and icons who have sizzled in some of the finest dresses for women ever made down the ages. Just like skirts add a feminine touch to proceedings (the girly kind), ladies dresses reek of well the feminine ardor and grace that only women can bring to the table (make sure your boyfriend is reading this!). Dresses for women have dominated mood boards of the finest designers and artistes from time immemorial and the scenario is no different. There are umpteen options available today as far as ladies dresses are concerned but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the needle in the haystack (read quite a few needles).

In spite of the varied ladies dresses available these days, there are a few classic and contemporary styles that every woman must own (yes, you too!). Here’s taking a look at these dresses for women which are beautiful, elegant, charming, playful and awe inspiring at the same time- you name it and they’ve got it!

Printed Floral Dress - This one is something of a modern classic and you will be vindicated at outdoor parties, summer weddings, barbeques, evening occasions and lawn extravaganzas (okay, that’s enough) alike. Women who are bolder by nature (we meant when it comes to fashion :P) should definitely consider large sized and bright patterns or prints. The sweetly conservative amongst us here are best matched with smaller floral patterns which are ideal for springtime.

A Floor Magnet - Well, you must already know of our magnetic wordplay! However, truth be told, floor length dresses are stunner, period. Take a cue from Jennifer Lawrence who usually chooses elegant dresses in bold hues. You can accentuate these dresses with simple handbags and flat sandals if you want to dial it down a little (too many men fighting to buy you a drink?). You can also choose dresses with empire waists. If you want to look a little taller, you can consider solid colors.

The Ubiquitous Party Dress - There must always be a particularly comfortable dress for parties when one is not in the mood or doesn’t have the time to check, double check, wear, repeat and then step out somewhere. A basic party frock is a must for women who like being casual and non fussy at times (yes men we’re not always fastidious about our look). You can opt for hemlines a little above the knee in these cases.

Knee Length Dresses - Knee length dresses with suitable tailoring are another must-have, particularly for those calendar days when you’re the Princess Kate Middleton of your own world or when you’re doing a grand photo shoot or even portrait (quit dreaming!). This also makes for a neat option for the workplace.

Bold Mini Dress - Okay with unleashing your glamorous inner diva? You should definitely opt for a fun, flirty and daring mini dress which is ideal for night outs with girlfriends to a delectable brunch (considering you’ve got eye candy seated opposite you).

Relaxed Maxi Dress - A casual maxi dress is ideal for running your errands to going out with friends or even a date with your hubby. These dresses are ideal for summer and look charmingly informal. They can be paired with nice sandals to create the perfect look. You can even pair these with biker jackets and ankle boots in winters (yes we know this looks uber sexy).

Slip Dresses - These ladies dresses redefine sexy with their uniquely enticing style. You can layer these dresses with a wide range of uppers or even pair it bigger sweaters for a casual look. These dresses go best with sandals for outings with your pals.

Flared Dress - A flared dress is essentially one of the best take-aways from the 1950s and can be paired with ballet flats and pumps alike. These dresses for women mean going retro without losing it completely (the contemporary quotient we mean).

Lace Dresses - These dresses are intrinsically linked to glamour and are often worn by Dolce & Gabanna toting celebs. They go well with a variety of pumps and regular jewellery.

Regal Gown - The word regal is enough to make you want to own this dress. Be red carpet ready with this dress.

Little Black Dress - LBD itself is self explanatory and we get why men love them too! This is an absolute MUST in your wardrobe (in case you’re one of those pitiable hens who’ve never worn one).
