The dress, a simple word. The dress, a simple item of clothing. The dress , A summer essential.
We all know summer is here, the longer nights and the brighter days are just an inkling of what is to come . Summer is certainly here and the fashion has also arrived. So whats hot for summer?
Many opt for the classic shorts and vests with avail , and who am I to say no, many pull this look off . However for summer , the most essential item of all is like stated before the simple dress.
The dress can be worn throughout summer and winter, it’s a classic understated allrounder. A dress is girly, yet depending on what cut and size can be sexy and sophisticated. A dress is prefect for daytime and evening, the family BBQ or the latenight meal. The dress can hug or hide your figure. The dress is the must have item for your wardrobe.
Whatever your style you can find a dress to suit you, maybe an empire line dress… perhaps a mini dress…even the bodycon dress? Whatever dress you have or want there are more than plenty to choose from, with dresses being a necessity it is vital that you have a dress or hopefully plenty of dresses that suit your body shape. A few do not’s:
• Do not buy a dress too small for you in the hope it will fit you, Im sorry to tell you the likeliness of this happeneing is pretty slim.
• Do buy a simple black dress, this will go with anything any everything from day to evening , a strong recommendation to have this.
• Do not buy a dress that swamps your figure, for example a smock dress is meant to be big and therefore some people have to avoid this. You have to decide what suits you and what doesn’tt.
• Do have a collection of comfortable dresses for those days you feel sluggish but also want to feel girly. The dress can be perfect at hiding any unwanted bulges.
As stated before a dress is simply an item of clothing, however is it simply an item of clothing when you want to get married and have your perfect dress? Is it a simple dress on that day ? I don’t think so. If we look out of the box we can see that actually the dress on a womans wedding day is a very important if not one of the most important things to her, This is being stated for a reason …. The reason being with a dress comes power, the power when a woman wears a figure hugging dress that stands out from the croud, this itself is power, and without the simple dress would she have the same effect? Would she stand out?
Whether you agree with this or not, it is hard to argue that a dress cannot be a huge asset to any womans wardrobe. The dress in the summer is important with all the festivals…BBQs….sunbathing…..holidays…. etc there is no reason not to own a dress as soon as summer emerges.
So if you are another woman dress-less this summer take my advise and get one , they are always in trend and will always be around.
Try a loose-fitting mini dress like Fearne Cotton did at this years 'Woman of the Year' Awards. 
Prints are dominating both the runway and high street at the moment and come summer, animal print always proves popular. D&G featured leopard print this season, Margherita Missoni (pictured left) wore this brilliant bright wrap-around dress at the weekend to an event to celebrate the design duo. Katy Perry was also spotted out and about in NYC in an equally fantastic cheetah-print dress, reminiscent of the Flintstones- inspiration for Jeremy Scotts latest collection (pictured above right). 
s with his vibrant digitally printed dresses & Diane Von Furstenburg introduced tiger-print suits & leopard shirt-dresses.
