How to Wear A Rayon Dress?

Every lady knows that silk dresses are both beautiful and comfortable to wear. However, silk is troublesome to take care of to a certain degree. And the high price is not affordable for everyone. So rayon dresses have appeared as a substitute. It has a similar tactility to silk but is much cheaper. Therefore, rayon has become a popular fabric today.

Maybe you are not very familiar with rayon. But it cannot be denied that rayon has many unique advantages. In this passage, we will introduce the characteristics and advantages of rayon to you, and give you certain suggestions for choosing and accessorizing a rayon dress.

Many people believe that since rayon feels very similar to silk but is much cheaper, rayon must be completely artificial. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Actually, rayon can not be regarded as neither completely natural, nor completely artificial. To speak more specifically, the raw materials of rayon come from natural wood pulp, but many chemicals are added during its manufacturing process. The main source of rayon is wood. The wood is cleaned, crushed and dried, and its fibers are made into thread. Afterwards, these threads will be dyed into different colors and woven into the clothes we see. Nowadays, cotton or polyester is added to rayon to give the fabric better elasticity and a more comfortable tactility sometimes.

To say the advantages of rayon, it is soft as well as smooth. Clothes made of rayon can give people perfect tactility. On the other hand, clothes made of rayon are also quite light. Therefore, you will not feel any burden when wearing clothes made of rayon. Although rayon clothes are light, they have perfect drape effect. This means that wearing a dress made of rayon will make you look more elegant and graceful. In addition, rayon has strong water absorption ability and breathability. That is why wearing a dress made of rayon in summer will make you feel very cool. Even if you sweat a lot, it can be absorbed by the clothes and will not make you look embarrassed. One of the most important advantages of rayon that cannot be ignored is that it is cheaper than silk. Since the raw materials of producing rayon are cheaper, you can enjoy the similar feeling of wearing silk through lower costs.

To extend the life of rayon, it also requires careful care. If you can wash by hand or dry clean, it is better not to choose machine washing. At the same time, the water temperature should not be too high. Moreover, Since sunlight will accelerate the fading of rayon, it is better to dry it in a cooler place. Since some types of rayon crease easily, you need to iron it on a flat plat to prevent the fabric from losing its shape.

When buying clothes, we need to consider about the fabric, the color, the style and many other elements. Now that we have determined the fabric of the dress, we just need to pay attention to the items left. So how can we choose a suitable rayon dress?

First of all, let us discuss about the color of the dress. Usually, the surface of rayon dresses is shiny. So on most occasions, some plain or subdued colors such as light blue or light green are more beautiful together with the shiny surface. But if you would like to choose warm colors, then your dress will look a little bit flashy with the shiny surface. But this does not mean that you can not choose a rayon dress in warm or bright colors on any occasion. On certain grand occasions or where you would like to be eye-catching and especially charming, you can choose a rayon dress in red, yellow, or purple.

Then you need to consider whether the shape of the dress is compatible with that of your figure. The issue of different figure shapes and the compatible clothing style has been mentioned many times in previous articles. This is no exception when choosing a rayon dress. A general principle is to fully play to your strengths and avoid your figure weaknesses. In other words, you need to find ways to make your figure’s advantages more attractive to balance your body proportions. Ladies with broader shoulders should try to avoid exposing their shoulders or wearing clothes with a lot of decorations on the shoulders.

Next, let us pay attention to the length of the dresses. The length of the dress is mainly related to two factors: one is whether you are satisfied with your leg lines, and the other is the occasion you need to attend in your rayon dress. If your legs are long as well as slim, then you can wear a mini rayon on informal occasions. But if you are relatively petite, or if you are going to attending a relatively formal occasion, then it is better to choose a midi or maxi dress. If you are undecided between the rayon dresses of different lengths, remember that midi dresses are always the most versatile.

Due to the similarity of the rayon and silk, you can refer to the accessories in the outfit when wearing a silk dress. All in all, when choosing accessories for your rayon dress, it is better to choose elegant ones.

First of all, some elegant but simple jewelry can be chosen. Although sparkly jewelry can be particularly attractive, and paired with your already shiny dress, your entire outfit will sparkle, but you need to remember that too much is too little. An outfit that is too shiny will make your entire outfit look a little tacky, so you only need some delicate and simple jewelry.

Both a straw hat and a bucket hat go well with a rayon dress. As long as you are on a casual occasion, you do not have to worry about a straw hat or bucket hat looking out of place. The combination of a straw hat or bucket hat and a rayon dress is not only suitable for the beach, but also for shopping. When attending formal occasions, you do not need to consider about what kind of hat to wear, because usually you need to take off your hat on formal occasions.

A belt is needed for the outfit of rayon dresses. Since rayon has a good drape effect, a rayon dress without a gathered waist design will often make the wearer's figure curves very blurred. So in this case, you need to wear a belt to clarify your waistline. You do not need to buy a leather belt. A ribbon can be regarded as a belt. You can wear a pair of high heels to attend a banquet or a party. But if the scene is the beach, then a pair of sandals is also acceptable. If you find wearing high heels too tiring, you can also match a rayon dress with a pair of Mary Jane leather shoes or a pair of loafers. Anyway, except a pair of sneakers, you can hardly find a pair of shoes that does not go well with a rayon dress.

But when it comes to bags that paired with rayon dresses, it can be a bit picky. Apart from a clutch which is one of the symbols of gentlewomen, we can find few bags go well with a rayon dress. While there is nothing wrong with a rayon dress for commuting, almost any bag with relatively large volume would look out of place with it. So the best occasions for wearing a rayon dress are probably parties, ceremonies or other casual occasions, rather than commuting.
