The classic shift dress, or shift dress, is an incredibly comfortable and versatile outfit. This wardrobe item is perfect for both work and any festive occasion. But the main thing that distinguishes such a dress from all other styles is that it is perfect for almost any type of figure. If you want to hide your figure, choose a loose-fitting dress, and if you want to emphasize it, feel free to choose a tight-fitting version.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Shift Dresses for Work

  1. 1 Start by choosing a tough, classic shift dress for work. If possible, match the dress with the appropriate jacket, then you can wear it at conferences or business meetings.
  2. 2 Buy a shift dress in black, dark gray, or navy. Fabrics of dark colors most often go to the face, and it is easier to choose accessories for them.
  3. 3 Try a sleeveless striped shift dress. This model can be supplemented with a plain jacket, and under it you can wear a shirt with a collar.
  4. 4 Slip a cardigan over the shift dress. A multi-colored cardigan over a plain dress allows you to look fashionable without sacrificing your comfort.
  5. 5 Experiment with the length. Most often, designers offer midi or maxi shift dresses. Do not choose too short models for work - give preference to elongated options.

Method 2 of 3: Casual Shift Dresses

  1. 1 Buy a shirt-cut shift dress. Most often, these models are sewn from pleasant cotton fabrics. Due to their lightness, these dresses are ideal in hot weather.
  2. 2 Match a one-color shirt dress with bright tights (tights can be patterned). Complete the look with boots or boots.
  3. 3 If you are the owner of slender legs that are not ashamed to show, choose a short shift dress. Due to the square shape characteristic of this model, shift dresses are often slightly shorter than dresses of other styles. Don't wear short shift dresses to work - it might look out of place.
  4. 4 Combine a lengthened shift dress with ballet flats or gladiator sandals. Flat shoes will make your look more casual. A ballet bun will add a stylish touch.
  5. 5 Put on your leggings. If your shift dress looks like a tunic, wear cotton, opaque leggings under it. In this combination, you can wear a short dress in cooler weather.
  6. 6 Experiment with jewelry in the boldest and boldest combinations. Try combining purple with green and blue with yellow. Since shift dresses are more practical than other styles of dresses, it is appropriate to be bold when choosing accessories.
  7. 7 Pay attention to shift dresses with pockets. Mothers and business women will appreciate the practicality of these models, because you can put your phone, wallet and keys in your pocket - and they will always be at hand.
