Embellished dresses are iconic and should be a part of every fashion-loving woman’s closet. These add the right amount of allure and glamour to your attire and ensure you grab all eyeballs in the room. But at the same time, wearing an embellished dress can be quite intimidating. However, if you avoid these top 5 styling mistakes when wearing an embellished dress, you are bound to create a style statement that is both aspirational and fashionably appropriate.
Overdoing Accessories
Pairing too many accessories with an embellished party dress can overwhelm the outfit. It’s best to keep accessories minimal when a dress already features intricate details like sequins, beads, or embroidery. Opt for simple jewellery like stud earrings or a delicate bracelet, and avoid chunky pieces that could compete with the embellishments. Choose accessories that complement, not overpower, the dress.
Choosing the Wrong Fit
People assume that an embellished party dress will automatically look good, regardless of fit. However, an ill-fitting dress can make the embellishments look sloppy and detract from the overall effect. Ensure that the dress fits your body shape well. A dress that is too tight or loose can create discomfort and undermine the elegance of the embellishments. Aim for a flattering silhouette that enhances your figure.
Choosing the Wrong Footwear
Pairing a glamorous sequin embellished dress with casual shoes like flip-flops or clunky boots can completely throw off the overall look. Choose footwear that matches the formality of the dress. For evening events, go for elegant heels or dressy flats that enhance the sophisticated vibe of the embellished party dress. For casual outings, consider delicate sandals or chic sneakers, but avoid anything too casual.
Ignoring Fabric and Comfort
Choosing a stunning sequin embellished dress without considering the fabric’s comfort can lead to discomfort throughout the day or evening. Some materials can be scratchy or heavy, making moving or feeling at ease difficult. Look for embellished party dresses made from fabrics that are comfortable against the skin, like silk or soft cotton blends. If the embellishments are dense or heavy, ensure the dress is still lightweight enough to move comfortably in.
Not Considering the Dress Code
Embellished dresses can be bold and eye-catching, but they may not be appropriate for every event. Wearing an extravagant embellished party dress in a more casual or business setting can seem out of place. Always consider the event’s dress code before choosing an embellished dress. For formal occasions, go for something sophisticated with subtle embellishments. For more casual events, select a dress with lighter, minimal embellishments that still add a touch of elegance without being overwhelming.
