How to Style Solid Color Dresses?

As their name suggests, dresses in solid colors can all be called solid color dresses, whether they are in blue or red, made of silk or cotton.

Today, simplicity has become a new fashion trend. Instead of attracting people through colorful patterns, solid color dresses are welcomed due to their simple and elegant style. Maybe some people believe that they are monotonous, but in many cases, less is more.

To choose the solid color dresses that are suitable for you, you need to know what colors are compatible for you and what are common styles of solid color dresses. In addition, it is better to know more about how to accessorize them to make your overall outfit more impressive.

Generally speaking, there are no ugly colors, only whether this color is suitable for you and whether you can match this color properly. When choosing a solid color dress, it is especially important to be sure that the color is suitable for you, since there are no patterns on the dresses and to a large extent you need to rely on the degree of compatibility between you and the color to attract people. Judging what colors suit you has a lot to do with your skin color and your temperament.

In most cases, warm colors are more in line with people who are outgoing and energetic. Red, yellow and orange exactly symbolize passion. When wearing a dress in these warm colors, you will look vibrant together with your smile. On the contrary, Ladies with a quieter and more stable personality may be more suitable for solid color dresses in cool colors. They will look more elegant with the cool colors such as blue, white, and black.

As for the type of skin color, you can judge it based on the four-season color theory. Based on the colour of our eyes, hair and skin, this theory divides people into four different types: spring, summer, autumn and winter. People belong to “spring” category usually have lighter skin color and yellow hair, so they are more suitable for bright and vivid colors. The skin color of people belong to the “summer” category are a little bit deeper than that of “spring” people. They usually have brown eyes and hair. Clothes in blue and purple are suitable for “summer” people to enhance their elegance. “Autumn people” are with relatively darker skin color, hair color and eye color. Autumn is the season of maturity and harvest, with brown and gold colors everywhere. So brown and gold that represent autumn are suitable for “autumn” people. Plenty “winter” people have black eyes and hair, as well as olive skin. The black which symbolizes withered plants, and the white which symbolizes snow, are undoubtedly the two most common colors seen in winter. Besides, “winter” people are suitable for contrasting colors such as red and white or red and black.

So when choosing clothes, especially solid color dresses, we need to consider not only which colors we prefer, but also which colors suit us. Only by choosing the color that suits us best can we wear the clothes more perfectly.

As mentioned above, as long as the dresses are in solid color, then they can be called solid color dresses. So the styles and shapes of solid color dresses are diverse. Generally speaking, the common types of solid color dresses are as following:

❤️Dress suits. There is no doubt that people only wear dress suits on very formal occasions. Therefore, most dress suits have no patterns and are in solid black, white, or brown, etc.

❤️Denim dresses. Denim dresses are another very common solid color dress. Typically, clothes made of denim rarely has patterns, unless they are for children. Therefore, most denim dresses are solid blue in color, perhaps with a few buttons or a belt as decoration.

❤️Evening dresses. People may wear evening dresses to attend important occasions such as celebrations. Although people need to dress splendid attire on these occasions, the importance they attach to their appearance is not reflected in the pattern of the dress, but more in the fabrics and design. So we can see many solid color evening dresses made of expensive materials such as silk. Even a wedding dress, one of the most formal dress a woman may wear in her life, is mostly in solid white.

❤️Solid color dresses with special designs. Some designers may feel that conventional solid color dresses are not attractive enough, so they would like to unleash creativity to solid color dresses. For example, you may have seen an asymmetrical dress in solid red or purple, and a dress with slit in solid blue and pink.

❤️Solid color dresses with different shapes. To meet the needs of ladies of different figures, dresses in different solid colors are also in different shapes. An A-line dresses in solid red, blue, purple and many other colors may appear, while a straight dress in solid green, white or yellow can also appear.

Since solid color dresses are with no patterns, the choice of accessories is especially important. When wearing a solid color dress, whether your accessories are suitable will have a much greater impact on your overall outfit than when wearing other clothes.

❤️ You can wear the jewelry as bright as possible. If your solid dress is with a v-neck, then you can pair it with a relatively long and shiny necklace. At the same time, you can also wear a pair of bright earrings.

❤️It is better for you to take a bag in the color similar to that of your dress, whether it is a handbag or a tote bag. A solid colored dress means that you cannot express your uniqueness through some exaggerated patterns. Therefore, making your overall outfit harmonious is your first priority.

❤️If there are no decorations such as tassels, bows, etc on your solid color dress, then a belt is relatively necessary. A belt is not only of practical value, but also of decorative effect. Do not look down upon a belt. At least, it can make your solid dress look not that empty.

❤️The principle of choosing bags is still applicable when choosing shoes. Actually, Whether they are high heels, leather shoes or sneakers, normally every type of shoes can be matched with a style of solid color dress. But the most important thing is to ensure that the color of the shoes are not collide with that of the dress, unless the shoes are in black or white, which are regarded as classics.

❤️If you still feel that the solid colored dress is very empty and not colorful enough after adding the above decorations, you can try pinning a brooch on the dress. You can choose the pattern of the brooch according to your preference, but remember that the brooch can not be too large.

❤️In terms of the choice of your hair accessories, you can choose a hairband with a rich pattern, or a pearl decorated hairpin. You can wear shiny hair accessories, but remember not to wear too many hair accessories on your head at the same time, otherwise other people's attention will be attracted entirely by your head.

Many people would ask: “ Can I still wear solid color dresses in autumn?” The answer is absolutely “Yes”. As long as you can match the solid color dresses with other clothes well, you can wear it in any season. As the autumn comes, perhaps we need to wear an outerwear over the solid color dress. So how can we wear them to be stylish in autumn?

❤️The easiest way to keep warm as well as stylish is to wear a trench coat or other outerwear. But actually, you can also wear a knitted top or a sweater inside the dress. Whether you choose to wear a top inside or an outerwear outside a solid color dress, it is better to choose a color that is similar but not the same as the dress. Otherwise, your layering will lose its layering effect.

❤️Unless you are attending a celebration that will be held indoors, it is better not to choose a solid color dress of floor length. It rains frequently in autumn, so if you wear a particularly long dress outdoors, the hem of your dress will easily get dirty by the rain. And for petite ladies, too long dresses are not a good choice either.

❤️You can try the style of “oversize”. If you are going to wear an outerwear over the solid color dress, then you can choose a coat that is slightly larger than your original size. In recent years, “oversize” is also a popular fashion trend that leaves deep impression on others. If you have never tried this way of dressing, you can have a try.

❤️Your makeup needs to be determined by the color of your dress. If your dress is in black, white or brown and other cool colors, then you do not need to wear heavy makeup. You can choose earth-colored eyeshadow and brown-toned lipstick to match the season. But if you have chosen a dress in red or other bright colors, you can wear a relatively heavy makeup. Pink eyeshadow can be taken into consideration. Of course, if you are confident enough, you can also try the blue eyeshadow when wearing a denim dress, the green eyeshadow when wearing a green dress.

No patterns does not mean boring or monotonous. If you can choose the right solid color dress and accessorize it in a fashionable way, then the solid dresses can also be stunning.
