Womens dresses no longer are stiff and boring, they are vibrant and flowing. Summer is the best season for womens casual dresses but they are also made for the other seasons.
Who hasn't seen a woman walking down the street in the summer with a kerchief type dress? These are the type of dresses that flow casually down from the neckline and usually come to a pointed end around the knees. They are normally made of cotton or jersey material. They are loose although most will have some type of belt at the waist. They normally have a spaghetti string top with a low cut neckline. Very comfortable and cooling in the hot days of summer.
These are the typical casual dresses for women, but, winter casual dresses can be just as easy flowing while keeping you warm. Winter wear is often made from cotton although a lining would be included for warmth. Heavier polyester type materials are also used. The necklines are higher and the sleeves are longer for winter.
The key element in womens casual dresses is color. Bright and vibrant colors accentuate most casual dresses. Not your typical wool suit, these types of dresses would be inappropriate for the office. Some offices do have a dress down day policy and the casual dress is perfect for this. You may want to keep the spaghetti straps covered by a bolero type top over it.
Women's casual dresses have also come a long way in recent years. In the 1950s, casual dresses were worn by women everyday of the week since slacks or pants were out of the question for women. Dress clothes were normally worn only on Sunday's or to parties or meetings. A typical casual dress of this era was styled in much the same fashion as the dresses we would wear today to work or meetings. Today's casual dress is meant to be worn while on vacation, or just relaxing by the poolside.
Most casual dresses are also very easily modified to become either work dresses or for evening wear. With just a few accessories, you can transform even the most casual dress into something that is appropriate for work. Jewelry often makes the difference between work and casual wear. Adding a good piece of jewelry will enhance your casual dress.
