Satin dresses: one of those tried, true, tested styles you know you can rely on to have you feeling your most beautiful no matter where you’re stepping out to! Whether you’re shopping around for your very first satin dress and you are on the hunt for a little inspiration, you’re in the market for your very first high-shine evening staple or you’re looking for that perfect piece for an upcoming RSVP and something in your heart is pulling you towards the timelessly chic satin style, then this is the place for you. Keep reading for five striking ways to style your satin dress this season – and every summer after!
Bronzed Beauty
The reflective, fluid nature of satin lends itself perfectly to a bronzed goddess inspired look! Choose a warm and toasty shade of honey for your satin piece, and stick to a figure-tracing silhouette that frames your neckline, defines your waist and then falls gracefully towards the floor with a subtle leg split for a little added drama. Play with the warm undertones of your silhouette and amplify it with statement chandelier drop down earrings, gold heels and your favorite, bronze makeup look for an effortless yet stunning look that is perfect for beach bound weddings, summer events in the city or nighttime celebrations with that little bit of drama to them.
Color Contrast
One of the best things about satin dresses is that the fabric immediately dials up whatever shade the style has been tinted with and makes it a bit of a statement all on its own. With that in mind, a colorful slip dress in a shade that makes you feel your most beautiful is a statement all on its own – but it is also an opportunity to add an extra layer of fashion-forward styling to your ensemble. Use your accessories to add a secondary shade to your look, think pink and red, lilac and baby blue or even black and white for a stronger contrast! Choose beaded or resin jewelry to add the secondary colour or select a pair of bold toned heels to accent your look perfectly.
Old Glamour
The glamorous, free-falling nature of a satin dress is the epitome of old world glamour. Dial up the silver-screen-siren nature of the satin evening gown and put defined pin curls in your hair, swipe on your go-to shade of red lipstick and add a string of pearls around your neck and you are done! Just step into a pair of low-heeled leather mules and drape a shawl around your shoulders for the perfect vintage statement.
Resort Wear Chic
Nothing quite says summer like a resort chic moment. Choose a satin dress in a strong shade of magenta, navy blue, orange or red and play it up with bold toned accessories. Add bright eye and lip makeup, pull your hair into a messy bun and get ready to toast cocktail hour in the most energetic way possible!
