Wearing A Smock Dress In Style

January 28, 2009




tunicThe humble smock dress wear, which till a few seasons back was mostly accepted as maternity wear, is making pulsating statements on the fashion ramps. The new heavily accented forms come in a multitude of cuts, prints and designs.

The increased popularity of smock dresses in the recent seasons has been mostly because of its figure friendly stance, which allows you to easily camouflage all bodily imperfections. So whether your problem is chubby thighs or a bulging center, you can use the smock dress effectively to disguise all such flaws.

The coming season

There are no signs of waning yet to be seen in the smock dress trend, which continues from the last season to the coming spring season. You have a new range of floral, geometric prints, graphic prints and metallic effects to play with. Don’t forget to check out the new enticing range, with ruffles, beads and bows, when you go hunting for a smock dress to brighten your looks for the coming spring season. The smock dress trend has been overwhelmingly welcomed by the 40 plus women, although there may be a few contemptuous scorns.

Going with the tide

When you’re sure you want to get into one of these trendy smock dresses, look for them in fabrics which are more fluid, are in the right length and which are not too flashy or loud. And while you’re still shopping around, why not grab some great accessories to go with your dress. Look for some trendy scarves and belts to go with your dress.

For the 40 plus

Even if you’re 40 plus, don’t let the length of the dress run below the knees, and if you feel your legs aren’t good enough to be shown off, then get into some pants, skinny jeans or leggings. Also you’ll be better off with some plainer prints or at the best a smock dress in a single color. Keeping distance from the extra detailing such as ruffles and puffy sleeves will prevent you from looking bulky if you are already a bit on the heavier side.
