The origin of cut out dresses can be traced back to the 1930s, when Hollywood actresses and influential fashionistas often wore this style. From Jane Birkin to Julia Roberts, cut out dresses have been a part of the high-fashion clan for a long time. These dresses were always considered a daring style to wear, and it wasn’t until a few decades ago that they became a crucial part of everyday fashion closets.
At present, cut out dresses are a crucial part of the fashion-forward crowd’s wardrobe. While these dresses create a bold fashion statement, you can further enhance the look with simple accessorising tips. Here are some basic accessorising tips to get you started.
1. Keep the Jewellery Simple
Since the cut-out design already creates a bold statement, opt for minimalistic jewellery to avoid a cluttered look. Thin, delicate pieces, such as small gold or silver hoop earrings, a dainty bracelet, or a simple ring, work well.
2. Opt for the Right Shoes
A pair of high heels or wedges can elevate the look of your cut out party dress, making it more sophisticated and formal. Nude or metallic heels are versatile options that don’t distract from the dress. Strappy sandals or ankle-strap heels work especially well with cut out dresses, as they help elongate the legs and complement the dress’s design. If you want a more casual or edgy look, ankle boots or knee-high boots can be a great choice, especially in cooler months.
3. Choose the Right Handbag
A small, elegant clutch bag is ideal for formal or evening events, as it adds sophistication without overwhelming the outfit. But, if you’re going for a more casual look, a sleek crossbody or a minimal-shoulder bag works perfectly. Opt for a bag with clean lines in neutral colours to maintain balance.
4. Layer with a Jacket or Blazer (if needed)
For cooler weather or a more polished look, a fitted blazer is an excellent option. A black or neutral-toned blazer can tone down the boldness of the cut-out while keeping the outfit chic and structured. For a more casual and edgy vibe, layer a cropped denim or leather jacket over your cut out party dress. This adds a cool, casual touch while allowing the dress to still be the focal point.
5. Balance the Cut-Outs with Outerwear
If your cut out party dress already shows a lot of skin, consider keeping outerwear like jackets or shawls simple and covering areas that are not exposed. This will keep the outfit balanced, especially for formal or evening wear.
