September brings several promises: the promise of warm weather, and colder weather to come. Desperately trying to hold on to the last of the summer weather, women are looking for any chance to slip a dress on. Can you blame them? Dresses are seemingly effortless, yet appear so put together. The key with this “in-between” weather is the color choice of your dress. Dress colors for the end of summer, transitioning into fall should be neutral and pastel. Deeper colors, such as cardinal red and olive green, come into play in the heart of fall. With this dress, it is not only the color that caught my eye, but it was also the sheer bust and the floral design. All three elements combined create the perfect trendy look, the crème de la crème.
When thinking of this look, the floral trend has always remained in style, depending on the season. Floral is most prominent in the spring. However, the sheer bust is a fairly new and upcoming trend, especially for fall and winter. It allows one to show some skin while keeping a classy and elegant aura. It is also wonderful due to the fact that it complements a huge variety of body styles, making it more desirable for customers. Different colors, textures and floral patterns are making this look accessible for all seasons, especially fall. Whether your look is more preppy, bohemian or punk, there is a dress that suits your personality perfect.
So how would you style dress like this? Simple is key; simple makeup, hair and accessories. You do not want to take away from the dress, you want it to be the focal point. With a sheer or floral dress, you should wear your hair in an up-do to bring attention to the dress and your face. Apply light makeup all around your face, focusing on brightening your cheeks and lips to accent the dress colors. Pair the look with a heels or flats, and you have yourself a RAD outfit!
