Silk dress: the perfect piece for feminine and sensual looks

The silk dress is a piece that highlights the woman’s sensuality and femininity, as it has a light, delicate fabric with a slight shine, in addition to the perfect fit over the body.

The piece transits through various styles and occasions, from the trendy night event to the most informal event, without any problem. Everything will depend on the overlays and accessories you use with the dress, such as a denim jacket for example, or a mega high heel. It’s even worth sneakers in the combination!

As it is a noble fabric, silk pieces have a higher price, but you can find alternatives with other fabrics that are similar and resemble silk.

Check out below some tips, prepared in partnership with image consultant Katy Garcia, on how to wear the silk dress on different occasions and get inspired to create various productions for everyday life.

As the silk dress is a very sensual piece by itself, if used in work environments it is better to opt for dark colors and bet on the third piece to compose the look. “A great tip is to layer the dress over a fitted white t-shirt, or insert a leather vest or jeans”, adds Katy.

printed silk dress

The printed silk dress breaks the sensuality of the fabric a little and makes everything lighter and relaxed. The image consultant gives tips regarding the flower print dress: “the flowered silk dress, if it has a darker background, has a more nocturnal and sophisticated language, while the light background ones are more solar and casual. Both look beautiful in productions with heels, flats and sneakers!”

long silk dress

Long dresses have a charm aside and make the look much more feminine and charming. “To disguise the hips, the long dress can be a great option. If you’re short, invest in V-necks and wear shoes in the same color as the dress to elongate your silhouette”, Katy’s tips. Accessories are always welcome, as are more delicate heels and even flats.

A versatile model, which goes from the most basic look to the ballad look, without mistake. To leave no doubt, Katy gives some tips for wearing the piece: “if you’re short, invest in metallic or nude shoes (the color of your skin), if you’re tall, it’s worth abusing the colors! If your body is more straight, prefer the tube and looser models. And if you have a defined waist, explore the cinched models that will enhance your biotype!”

silk party dress

The silk dress can also be a great option when it comes to a party, as it has an extra touch of sophistication. “A simple silk dress can be used at parties, pay attention to the details, shoes and accessories are great look transformers! Choose sophisticated pieces, with a shiny finish and gemstones.”, concludes the image consultant.

Silk dress with sneakers

For a more casual and modern look, sneakers are the ideal choice. The mix of chic and basic is the darling of the moment. “Overlays are a super welcome charm! Put your white t-shirt underneath, a cute necklace and rock!” complements Katy.
