A Guideline to Mesh Dresses

It is said that mesh came into being in France in the 19th century. As a kind of lightweight fabric made of yarn, mesh is breathable and easy to clean. And due to its lightness, mesh was used to make clothes of special usage such as wedding dresses or Ballet skirts . The dresses, made of organza and mesh, is able to largely maintain their fluffy shape. So during a long period, people would think of brides or ballerinas dancing on the stage when mesh is mentioned.

From 1940s to 1990s, Ballet skirts, as a kind of garment that can greatly highlight the charm of women, have attracted the attention of many people, and many designers have used them as creative inspiration. It was until the end of 20th century or the beginning of the 21st century that mesh has been combined with daily dresses or skirts and appears more frequently in the fashion world. Influenced by the female characters in mesh dresses in TV shows, mesh dresses have attracted the eyes of a number of girls and become a fashion trend quickly.

Generally speaking, mesh is mainly used to decorate the dresses. After all, they are transparent with many holes, so it is unrealistic to use mesh to keep out the cold or cover up your body. In most cases, mesh is used as the outermost layer of the skirt, creating a flowing sense. Initially, mesh was made only of natural materials, but with the development of textile technology, more and more synthetic fibers are also used in the production of mesh. Initially, mesh was used to make wedding dresses or ballet skirts, so in most cases they were white or black. But now, due to the diversification of application scenarios, the colors of mesh are becoming more and more diverse. So we have much more choices when choosing mesh dresses.

How to Choose Right Mesh Dresses?

Nowadays, the combination of mesh and dresses is not limited to certain occasions or usage any more like more than 200 years ago. In summer, we can see many long or short, colorful mesh dresses on the streets. Then how can we choose the right mesh dresses? Here are some tips for you.

👍To make your outfit more delicate, you can choose mesh dresses with several tassels or some embroidery. Slit dresses are also good choices. In addition, mesh is also frequently combined with tiered skirts. But if you are keen on such a tiered skirt with mesh, it is better to choose the longer ones that reach knees or below. Otherwise, the layers on the skirt would appear too dense within the limited space. In these well-designed mesh dresses, your charm can be improved to a large extent.

👍The occasion that you are going to also matters. If you want to choose a long mesh dress, it is better to be ankle-length or above. Unless you are a bride and want to wear a floor-length mesh dress to the wedding ceremony, otherwise try to choose more casual dresses that may be suitable for more occasions.

👍If you are not satisfied with your leg lines, you can choose an A-line mesh skirt. Most mesh dresses look puffy because of the extra layer of mesh covering the outside of the dress. Among them, the A-shaped mesh dresses that become wider as it goes down has the most obvious effect in modifying the figure of legs.

👍For petite ladies, you may try on a mini mesh skirt. A longer dress may be more suitable for taller ladies. A shorter, especially high-waisted mesh skirt can help women visually lengthen their legs.

👍If you are new to clothes matching, then you can choose black or white mesh dresses which are regarded as classics at first. Dresses in some colors with low degree of saturation such as brown and blue are also good choices.

What to Wear with Mesh Dresses?

For different types of mesh dresses, what should we wear to match with them? Generally speaking, we can just wear a long mesh dress in summer. But in winter, maybe we need to combine the mesh dresses with a jacket or a pair of pants. Besides, if we choose a mesh skirt, how should we match it with a top?

👍What to wear with a mesh dress firstly depends on the occasion that you are going to. If you are going to the beach to go on vacation, then you can choose a mesh dress over your Bikini. However, this kind of outfit seems too hot and is not that suitable for commuting. For business occasions, it is better to pair a mesh dress with a shirt.

👍Maybe you can choose a mesh dress with only a layer of transparent gauze. Since this so-called dress has no lining, you have to wear more clothes under the dress. At the same time, the clothes you wear under the dress can also be seen. Sometimes, we can see some girls wearing the transparent mesh dress over their shirt and jeans. Even though they could go out directly in the shirt and jeans, this outfit might seem a little plain. Although the mesh dress here is of no practical use, it makes the whole outfit unique and fashionable.

👍In winter, a pair of flesh-colored, thick pants will keep you warm while making you still look slim. At the same time, you can also wear a jacket or coat as a top to pair with your mesh dress. In summer, since it is hot, a pair of flesh-colored stockings is enough to protect your skin from sunburn.

👍You can try to wear a long shirt as a lining, and wear a transparent mesh dress over it. In this way, you do not wear your shirt in the way it is supposed to be worn. Together with the transparent mesh dress, your whole outfit will be extremely creative.

Accessories Go Well with Mesh Dresses

A mesh dress is a very fashionable item. We need to consider what kind of accessories can maximize the advantages of the mesh dresses. From the perspectives of handbags, shoes, jewelry and hats, we have certain tips for you.

👍In terms of shoes, mesh dresses are versatile with almost all kinds of shoes. To attend formal occasions, a pair of high heels may make you look more elegant. It is better that the color of the high heels is the same with or similar to the mesh dress. In addition, high heels in basic colors such as black and white are also very versatile. But on more casual occasions, flats are also OK. Whether delicate leather shoes or sandals are compatible with mesh dresses. Even slippers can go well with mesh dresses to create a cozy sense.

👍Since mesh dresses are already flaunting in style, very bright jewelry may not be suitable for mesh dresses. Some simple bracelets are enough.

👍Since mesh skirts do not need to be worn in formal occasions like evening dresses, makeup and hairstyle that pair with them can be relatively casual. A light makeup is enough to show your good outlook. As for the hairstyle, long or short, straight or curly, with or without braids is acceptable.

👍You may choose the knitted handbag to make your whole outfit look more coordinated. A woven straw hat serves a similar function.

👍To highlight your waist line, you can wear a belt over your mesh dress. The color of the belt can be either similar to that of your dress or contrast to it. To avoid mistakes, it might be better to choose colors that are more similar to the color of the skirt, but if you want to fully show your personality, contrasting colors are also a good choice.

Generally speaking, mesh dresses are undoubtedly a good choice for elegant ladies. They are perfect for evening events, parties or dates. There are also many types of mesh dresses. You can choose one according to your figure, preferences and usage.
