Dress with open shoulders - the trend of 2019

Dress with open shoulders - the trend of 2019

Features

Such dresses are an essential attribute of all feminine styles - romantic, boho, new look, etc. It has been known for a long time - a similar style was worn everywhere in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially when it came to balls and palace receptions. After his triumphant appearance in the collections of meters of high fashion by Christian Dior and Cristobal Balenciag, the dress became for time only an attribute of evening dresses and the “red carpet”, but this year designers are starting to introduce it into everyday looks.

How to choose

Choosing a dress of a similar style, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of your figure. For girls with broad shoulders, it is not suitable, as it visually increases this part of the body even more. On the contrary, for the owners of narrow shoulders and especially the type of figure "pear" such a dress would be an excellent find. At the same time, for low and full girls it can do a disservice, creating a “barrel” effect (in this case, it is recommended to choose models with sleeves and a small neckline).

In addition, this dress has another effect - it visually lengthens the neck and attracts attention to it. However, in the presence of age-related skin imperfections, this may have a negative effect, so it is worth considering these individual characteristics.

Popular styles and models

With frills

A dress with frills below the shoulder line is one of the most modern models. It is distinguished by sophistication, some playfulness and absolute femininity. The longer the dress, the more distinct the associations with the “Turgenev lady” appear. Strengthen this effect will help hair laid in large curls, which will repeat the curves of the shuttlecocks.

On an elastic band

This timeless model can be an excellent choice for a boho style look - especially if you add it with accessories from leather and suede. The version of the dress without sleeves will also allow you to decorate yourself with a variety of bracelets and baubles (boho excess is only welcome!), And a dress with a cropped skirt will be perfectly combined with cowboy-style boots.

There are many similar dresses, for example, from the popular Asian brand Artka, in whose stores you can also buy suitable shoes and jeans. The latter are also combined with a chiffon dress of a similar style, for example, khaki.

With sleeves

Dress models with sleeves look very elegant - especially if the neckline is deep enough. At the same time, the choice of a small neckline will allow a woman in the age to achieve the desired effect without emphasizing the age-related deficiencies of the skin on the neck and chest. Models with long sleeves this season presented Dolce & Gabbana, Barbara Casasola, etc.

Direct

Straight dress is an excellent solution for stout women, as well as for “apple” type figures, whose waist is naturally weak and puts extra weight in the first place there.

Do not choose a model above the knee - you are more suitable dresses in the floor, which will visually lengthen the image.

Free

Such models create a truly romantic image. He will look good on a date and is able to turn the head. But do not forget to take into account your natural forms and color types - a lace dress in soft pink tones will not make you completely sophisticated and romantic if it contrasts with your “dramatic” appearance and rich natural color. In this case, on the contrary, you risk looking ridiculous. In addition, such a dress can look very frivolous on a woman aged.

Fitting

The fitting model of a dress with open shoulders is a traditional evening dress.It is quite versatile, however, it is best suited for Kibby types: theatrical romantic, romantic, soft dramatic and dramatic. Representatives of “natural” types should better avoid such models and give preference to the more free ones.

With straps

Dress with bare shoulders and straps, intertwined or tied behind the neck - a very brave model. However, she is rightly the trend of the season, because this outfit looks very stylish and modern. But girls with wide shoulders should refrain from such a style - of all the options for a dress with open shoulders, he most clearly emphasizes the shoulders.

At the same time, the vertical balance of symmetry, which is achieved by strapless, allows using such dresses for almost all types.

On one shoulder

Another non-standard form of such a dress is a model with one open shoulder. It can be a godsend for those whom nature has given broad shoulders and made traditional dress options inaccessible. This season, this model was among the first in the collection of brands such as Gianfranco Ferre, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Lanvin, etc.

Length

Long

A long dress - a classic evening dress, and the style with open shoulders will give even more regality and femininity to your image.

A long and very loose dress is absolutely not worth wearing girls of short stature, although this is a beautiful summer option. In your case, preference is better to give models of medium length or with a narrowed skirt to the floor (as an evening option), which visually lengthen the legs.

Midi

Models of medium length look especially good on representatives of the gamin type and owners of a “rectangle” figure.

We can say that this length is universal, so for other types it will also be in place. The main thing, do not forget to pay attention to the details of the cut and strive to ensure that they emphasize your strengths, diverting attention from the shortcomings.

A short

Dress length above the knee is perfect as an everyday. In addition, it can be used as a tunic and combined with jeans or trousers with a straight and fitted cut.

The most common version of this dress - a model with a straight cut.

Actual colors

Black

With a light hand of designers, black has long gone beyond the mourning dresses, becoming the standard of elegance and style. However, do not forget that for the "spring" and "autumn" color, he, like white, may not be the best solution. But it is worth noting that the cape of a more appropriate shade in this case will save the situation, especially since the black color can be easily combined with any others. For more effect, do not forget to pick up shoes to match the cape and choose a clutch of the same color, or make the image more noticeable by adding additional shades.

Red

Red color is associated with passion and sensuality, so models with open shoulders in such colors are the choice of very brave women. If you do not want to look overly aggressive (especially if the choice fell on a bright red dress on the floor), then do not forget to add an image with accessories that balance the catchiness of red. It can be fashionable shades of the current season - riverside, sharkskin, warm taupe, or potter’s clay or their equivalents.

Blue

If you want to look stylish and fashionable, choose a blue dress of muted shades. Especially carefully it is worth choosing such a dress for girls with tanned or tanned skin - bright blue will give a very strong contrast, and it must be “muted” with accessories of neutral colors.

Yellow

The yellow color option is one of the most fashionable this season. Remember Belle from the cartoon "Beauty and the Beast"? This color will turn you into a real princess and make a star of any party! It will be especially advantageous to watch such a yellow dress on a girl with dark skin or the owner of an “autumn” color.

Blue

This season, all fashionable shades tend to "gray".However, this makes them quite versatile and suitable even for those color types with which cold colors are strictly contraindicated.

Pink

Of all shades of pink this season, the most popular are pale pink and bright cyclamen. When choosing between them, consider what mood your onions should transmit. Cyclamen will become the anthem of your bright and creative nature, and the tenderness of the shade of rose petals will emphasize tenderness, sensitivity and youth.

Green

Green color is a tireless classic. Its various shades are appropriate always and everywhere (with the exception of a strict dress code, of course). Therefore, you can safely choose the one that suits you, taking into account personal preferences and your color type. Various variations of green with warm and cold tones are present in the recommendations of absolutely all color types.

Striped

Dress with bare shoulders in a bright (especially black and white) strip - greetings from the 1980s! A similar sheath dress with court shoes and a small handbag will create an image that will not go unnoticed. It is perfect for a stylized party or as a summer outfit, to which you can also add a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses in a classic black frame. Modern glasses are also suitable, but avoid narrow and round glasses - they will simply be lost against the background of such a set.

Fabrics

Laced

Dress any style with a lot of lace requires careful selection. It can give a femininity and romance to an image, however, it will turn out to be grotesque and “puppet”, if personal characteristics are not taken into account. This dress is not recommended for women in age - so you risk creating the effect of "artificial rejuvenation" that will make you comical

Cotton

Cotton is an excellent option for summer and warm countries, as it is a natural material that is perceived by the skin better than many synthetic analogues. In addition, a cotton dress will be a great solution for those who, due to age or personal preferences, cannot afford lace.

Chiffon

Chiffon - light, translucent fabric - will make your look light and airy soft. However, if you are the owner of a more restrained or even hard kind, an excellent addition to the image will be a chiffon cape or shawl, which will best emphasize your personality.

Knitted

Knitwear is most often sewn with tight-fitting models, so, as mentioned above, this choice will not be a good choice for everyone. And it definitely will not be an evening dress - knitwear just will not give the necessary elegance to your image. But for everyday life such a dress of medium and mini length will be a good choice, especially since it is quite universal.

What and how to wear

Accessories and decorations

The dress with bare shoulders is the style to which it is very difficult to find the right jewelry on the neck. But at the same time, it allows you to completely abandon them. Alternatively, you can complement the image with massive earrings, a variety of bracelets and a hat with wide brims that will not leave a feeling of emptiness in your bow.

An important addition to the dress in this case is a cape or shawl made of light fabric. It can be not just a beautiful accessory that harmoniously fits this style, but also a kind of salvation for owners of wide shoulders.

What hairstyle to do

With this style, long, loose hair looks great (especially if, according to the Kibby typology, you are natural, soft natural or flamboyant natural).

All other types will be more collected hair hairstyle with a beautiful hairpin or elegant hat (in the evening version is quite appropriate a small veil).

Festive and elegant images

A dress made of light fabric with a smell on the bodice is perhaps the most feminine version of this look. Complement it with pearl or aquamarine jewelry - and you transform into a mermaid.Or complement it with a massive necklace with a floral pattern - and comparisons with a beautiful forest nymph are guaranteed. It will be appropriate as a collected hairstyle with a bright hairpin, and loose hair. You can also remove back and stab only part of the hair, opening the face.

Dress at the same time with open shoulders and open back is a great option for evening dress. However, keep in mind that such an image will look very defiant and choose a dress of too “screaming” color for it will be unnecessary. It is better to complement it with catchy earrings and bracelets with stones.
