Evening dress:and if you dare the strapless dress?

The evening dress, a strapless dress for a ceremony

We call it an evening dress, we wear it during the day... but it lasts until the evening. For a wedding or a baptism, an award ceremony or a professional evening, the strapless dress is the perfect guide. Adapt its color to the type of ceremony, bright colors for weddings and baptisms, more neutral for official events. Cover it with a jacket during the day, and take it off to waltz!

For example ? A mid-length bustier dress, sunny yellow, pleated bustier and flared from the waist for a wedding. Complete it with nude pumps, a matching clutch, a cropped jacket and a fascinator for traditional weddings. If the ceremony is more formal, bet on a discreet look. A deep blue strapless dress, straight shape, knee length under a blazer and you're done. Accessorize the dress with discreet earrings and a fuzzy bun, put on elegant and comfortable heeled shoes, you are ready for the evening!

The evening dress, a strapless dress for a romantic dinner

If the target is to seduce, know that the strapless dress has made it its specialty. Glamorous dress if there is one, it becomes an evening dress by the magic of high heels and tights... or even stockings for more effect! Once the jacket is abandoned, he or she won't even consider resisting...

The recipe for the love filter? Prefer a short bustier dress, above the knee, with a heart-shaped bustier. Bet on the mystery of a deep black, simple or with lace details, unless you dare the intensity of pin-up red! If you like to try, choose a tight dress. If you prefer to suggest, opt for a flared cut. In any case, complete your look with a cleverly neglected hairstyle, a beautiful lipstick, your favorite pumps and a thin pendant at the hollow of the neckline, guaranteed result!

The evening dress, a strapless dress for dancing

For an evening dress that twirls, only one option:the flared strapless dress, from the waist or under the chest, which flies away with each dance step. Be careful, on the other hand, not to choose it too short, at the risk of exposing the lingerie... nor too long, to eliminate the risk of falling. Choose its color according to your tastes and the evening, without skimping on the prints. With flowers, polka dots or stripes, the strapless dress brings sunshine to the dance floor!

As for accessorizing it, start the evening with a simple short vest for a retro look, a small structured jacket or a short kimono for a trendy style. Complement your bustier dress with comfortable shoes for dancing, depending on your habits:heeled or gladiator sandals in summer, boots or ankle boots in cool weather, or even the perfect platform shoes. Don't forget your clutch slung over the evening dress, an evening make-up and a scattering of sequins, you're ready!
