Gown dress: the perfect model for any occasion

It is inevitable to say that the flared dress has a unique and striking charm. The modeling defined by its full skirt with a slight pleat at the waist is perfect for women who seek a super feminine look and, at the same time, want to enhance the curves of the body, without much effort.

Despite having a romantic feature, those who do not believe in the versatility of a set are wrong! In addition to the ladylike style, the piece also perfectly meets a more formal proposal, for corporate environments or even gala parties, and also the most casual, when combined with other pieces and accessories that offer a more casual look.

According to Style Consultant Gaby Beraldo, this variety of styles is determined by the type of material the product was made of: “the flared dress can be made with more structured fabrics, which give volume to the underside of the garment, but it is possible to find options made of mesh, jersey, among other more fluid materials”.

Check out some super stylish proposals for looks with flared dresses in different models, with comments from Gaby to inspire you:

Gown dress in casual looks

For Gaby, the secret to composing a casual look is to combine the dress with other more casual options: “So that the composition is not too characterized or too youthful, it is interesting to mix the piece with items from other styles and materials, such as the denim jacket or leather. The complements vary a lot according to the personal style of each one and they are the ones that set the tone of the production. It is possible to combine the dress with sneakers, for a more modern look, with thin-heeled sandals, for more sophisticated productions, and flats or pumps for a very feminine look.”

Gown dress in looks for work

For corporate environments, it is important to pay extra attention to the length, prints and textures of the dress, so that they are not too flashy and detract from the professional image you want to convey. Consultant’s tip: “The A-shape model, with the skirt in smaller circumference, with less pleats and midi length is right in these places. Skirts that are too voluminous, in very shiny or structured fabrics should be avoided, regardless of the degree of formality of the company”.

Gown dress in evening looks

Although it is not a rule, looks in darker tones can be a perfect option for a night event: “The color depends a lot on the personal taste of each one. However, very light tones, close to white, can be confused with a wedding dress, due to their modeling, and should be avoided especially in weddings”, adds Gaby.

Gown dress in winter looks

That stylish coat, a fitted jacket and a boot that doesn’t fight with the length of the dress are perfect pieces to compose a look for the coldest days. Just invest in comfortable prints and textures, full of style! The consultant’s bet is thicker fabrics, such as leather or wool, which combine with opaque tights and closed-toe shoes, like ankle boots.

double flared dress

“The double flared dress is an extremely feminine model, very youthful and romantic, even when the length is midi or long. Ideally, it should be used at parties or in leisure situations. Shiny fabrics, such as satin, brocade, taffeta or with applications should be used in more formal events and weddings”, says the specialist in the subject.

short flared dress

Women who want to lengthen the silhouette can follow the professional’s tip: “In order not to shorten the height, it is necessary to create a counterpoint to the volume of the skirt, marking the waist with a dress model in which the upper part is drier, without very elaborate ruffles and sleeves, especially for women with thicker thighs. And of course, open shoes like sandals and pumps always help to create this lengthening effect.”

midi flared dress

This traditional and super elegant model can escape formality and, for Gabriela, the secret lies in combining the dress with modern accessories, such as jewelry and colorful shoes, or even investing in natural fabrics. Cotton or silk, in strong colors or prints, are the most suitable.

long flared dress

A beautiful long flared dress is the perfect look for those who want to shine at a party that requires formal attire, such as black tie, for example. For the occasion, the consultant recommends combining the piece with accessories as delicate and noble as the fabric. Then, all you have to do is perfect your makeup and hairstyle to look like a red carpet star.

black flared dress

“The color black already denotes a certain formality, so, depending on the material in which the piece was made, it is possible to “dilute” the seriousness of the color and the cut. To make the production more relaxed and not increase the volume of the silhouette, the dress can be worn with a blazer fitted at the waist, with a hem at the hip, complemented with a belt”, guides the professional.

Gown dress with lace

Lace does not necessarily have to be a material used only in party dresses and can be used in urban compositions, precisely to give an extra freshness to the look. But, according to Gaby, if the idea is really to maintain the femininity of the fabric, it is important to add delicate pieces to the composition, such as refined shoes and minimalist accessories.

The coolest thing about this type of piece is that it’s perfect for all types of women, just find the ideal model to enhance your curves: “The flare visually increases the volume of the hips, especially when the dress is shorter. On the other hand, it is a modeling that emphasizes the waist. For large buttocks or for those who don’t want to mark the belly, the ideal is to look for a model that has a flap or belt that overlaps the seam between the top and bottom, so that the pleats made in the fabric do not create volume in the abdomen and naturally enhance the body line”, concludes Gabriela.
