Finding Better Clothing and Accessories

If you're looking for one item of clothing that you can wear to almost any special occasion or business function, consider adding a chiffon dress to your wardrobe. Although they come in a wide array of colors, a blue dress will easily coordinate with a variety of shoe and accessory options that you probably already own. 

Ideal for the warm spring and summer months, chiffon is a lightweight fabric with a breezy, gauze-like feel. Since the material is sheer, it's commonly paired with a more opaque fabric underneath. For example, chiffon dresses often feature slips to wear under it for modesty. 

Although chiffon dresses are readily available at many online and in-store retailers, you can purchase the fabric by the yard and make the frock yourself if you're crafty. You'll also have no shortage of styles, such as a wrap, maxi, sheath, fit-and-flare, empire-waist, and A-line, to choose from, depending on your personal style preference. 

 Once you've made or purchased your perfect blue chiffon dress, it's time to accessorize and style it. Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Metallic Touches 

No matter what shade of blue, from turquoise to midnight, your dress is, you can enhance it with metallic touches. For lighter blues, consider going with gold options, such as chandelier-style earrings, bangle bracelets, and woven-strap wedge heels for an easy, breezy look that will take you from day to night.

Darker blue chiffon dresses will pop against shiny silver accessories, including any-size hoop earrings, delicate chain necklaces, charm bracelets, and strappy sandals or slides. The dark blue and silver combination is particularly ideal for nighttime functions, such as company holiday parties and dates. 

2. Pearls 

Feminine pearls and a flirty chiffon dress is the perfect combination. Pick jewelry featuring freshwater pearls, such as delicate stud earrings, a statement choker necklace, and cuff-style bracelets, to complement the dress's elegant look.

While a blue chiffon dress by itself will work for any type of special event, the addition of pearls will elevate the look another notch. This classic combination will work for the fanciest of occasions, including weddings, receptions, and reunions.

3. Belted 

Since chiffon is known as a flowy fabric, belting it at the waistline will give it a more streamlined appearance. You can use a thin, metallic belt for a more delicate appearance or make a bold style statement with a wide belt featuring creative touches, such as embroidery or gemstones. 

Complete the look with shoes and a purse that matches the belt. For more information and tips, contact a clothing business such as Kaigne.
