- Pair shorter hemlines with flat sandals or sneakers for a casual feel.
- Cinched waists work best on A-line or shirt dresses that need definition.
- Neutral tones and small prints are the easiest to dress up or down.
- Layering a jacket or sweater adds texture without hiding the dress.
Stick with shapes that fit your body and colors that make you feel put together, and you will never have to overthink getting dressed again.
