Unusual bows with a dress
Small black models in tandem with boats are ageless classics, but sometimes you want bold, unusual, daring images. And we have some original ideas.
To make the look stylish, add to the dress:
- A kimono jacket is an item from the Japanese one that migrated to the European wardrobe. Try to complement the kimono with a classic strict dress, playing on contrasts. And yet - the jacket will help to create an image in the style of boho or hippie - just wear it over a light dress in the floor;

- Colored tights or leggings - transparent beige tights for more than a decade sit in antitrends, and bright models on the contrary in the top. Combine them with a minimalist dress of a restrained shade or make a monochrome image of tights in the tone of clothing;
- Loafers and socks - grandfather's shoes won the fashion pedestal at the end of the last decade. Combining them with socks and dresses in the style of preppy, you will get a stylish image and enthusiastic looks;

- Scarf - previously the headdress was associated with village motifs. Now the famous fashion houses Dior, Max Mara, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Jacquemus have fallen in love with the scarf and are constantly adding new models to the range.Put on a dress, a scarf and complement the image with sunglasses - no one can pass by without turning around.

We create a warm casual image
Winter is not a reason to put light dresses in a distant box, but a time for experiments, unusual solutions and playing with texture and contrasts. Being stylish and not freezing was easier than we thought.
Ideas of everyday casual images:
- A turtleneck is a warm trend that sets you apart from the crowd. In the off-season, wear a turtleneck under the dress. The star of the series "American Horror Story" Sarah Paulson tried on the trend on herself. Brands do not lag behind, giving out many options for sets with original or monochromatic turtlenecks;

- Trousers – the trend towards layering continues to conquer the fashion world. The favorite of Marc Jacobs, Off-White and Balenciaga was a combination of dress and trousers. The image was appreciated by model Gigi Hadid, who repeatedly appeared in street photos in such an outfit;

- Cardigan. The dashing '90s are back, bringing with them the fashion of combining a cardigan with a dress. In gloss, there are both thin sweaters along with light models of dresses, and voluminous options with rough shoes and long dresses, like Y / Project and Fendi;

- Rough Boots – Boots with massive tractor soles look amazing with tight knitted dresses. Try to play with contrasts complementing them with grunge options or create cowboy images with a hat, as Instyle magazine did.

Ideas for elegant retro looks
Even with a basic or old boring dress, it's easy to create a sleek bow suitable for social events.
- The jacket is thrown over the shoulders, it will add elegance to any clothes. A jacket with a man's shoulder perfectly balances the ultra-short mini and the latest Versace collection confirms this. Long, floor-length evening models are combined with shortened jackets, such as those of Fendi;

- Trench coat is the epitome of elegance. Wearing it with a dress, you create a light, alluring image from the cover with a touch of Parisian chic. The combination of utilitarian trench coat fabric and delicate silk will be bold. A basic trench coat will balance, beat a bright thing. If you want to make the outfit bold, add sports shoes, as blogger Marie Liszt does;

- Blouse. A white blouse will make even sports leggings more elegant. Wearing it under a black fitted dress, you instantly add style, grace, elegance to the image. Choose voluminous blouses to create a contrasting bow. The Philosophy brand has adopted the technique, which has won the attention of hundreds of fashionistas;

- Gloves. They increase the degree of style of any bow. This element practically does not disappear from the catwalk, and fashion designers every season present new variations of combinations of gloves with dresses. You can make an image in a retro style, as Chanel does or bright, modern, like Balenciaga.

- Boots - in the cold season, when boats and loafers are impractical, high boots will help in creating a strict but stylish image. At the peak of popularity are jockey models, boots with an assembly on the shin and tall Cossacks. It is important that the distance between the dress and the beginning of the boot is closed. And if you want to open your legs, choose a model with an incision. The combination with light dresses looks interesting - this was shown by the new Fendi collection.

Sporty looks
Brands regularly prove that the dress can be a full-fledged component of a comfortable, sporty wardrobe and create collections in the style of sport-chic. We noted some of the most stylish and practical combinations.
- Sweatshirt or sweatshirt. No one could have imagined that in 2021 we would combine sports, soft sweatshirts with dresses. Such integrations are a complete game of contrasts, but it is very fond of the designers of Off-White, Michael Kors. Gloss offers us images with light, thin dresses worn under a voluminous hoodie. There are many such combinations in the Valentino collection;

- Denim jacket – denim has become a favorite of the new decade. The fashion world thinks about comfort, but does not forget about chic. Therefore, valentino, Gucci collections with jackets and dresses made of jeans appear on the catwalk. The monochrome image from Valentino in the patchwork technique gathered increased attention;

@redvalentino
- Sneakers are a universal combination for any weather. If you wear a long dress with sneakers, the silhouette will be visually elongated, the legs are longer, and the image is stylish and practical. You can play with the texture, combining silk options with voluminous shoes and sports accessories.

- The bomber is a thing that came from a man's wardrobe, but it fits one hundred percent into the sport-chic bow. A deliberately voluminous jacket together with a long dress of a straight cut will become a comfortable and stylish solution. Mango added brutality to the image with rough boots, but the bomber makes it feminine due to delicate shades. There are a lot of variations and you can choose any.

Coco Chanel bequeathed everyone to have a small black dress in her wardrobe, but did not forbid diluting the image with bright accessories, adding elements of sports style and playing on contrasts. Then why are we still afraid to experiment with images?
