In 2015 we’re wearing more dresses

Recently I did an informal poll on social media asking our followers what were their fashion resolutions for 2015. Ditching the jeans and wearing dresses more often was one of the answers that came up more than once. I can totally get behind this idea. Dresses are great because they’re easy and can be styled in multiple ways. If you’re just starting to get into dresses for daytime the choices can be overwhelming.Our suggestions for finding the perfect everyday dresses:

• Avoid bodycon shapes or anything too short. Ever walk behind that girl with her skirt hiked up 2-3 inches higher on one side because it’s bunching beneath her handbag? Not a good look!
• In the dressing room sit, stand, bend over, stretch like you’re reaching something on a high shelf. Basically do the movements you do in your normal life without even thinking about it. Does anything feel too tight or gap open? If “yes” than no matter how cute the dress is it’s not right for you.
• Make sure it reflects your personality. Just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it’s corporate. It should be something that really feels like “you”.
• Try to find something relatively season-less so that you can wear it all year round.

Next are some great looks to get you started.
