When it comes to filling your wardrobe, it’s essential to include a few timeless fashion dresses. There are certain styles that will never go out of fashion. These pieces can be bought to create a capsule wardrobe with other classic pieces, dressing them up or down depending on the occasion. Here, we explore five classic fashion dresses every woman should own.
The little black dress
The little black dress, or LBD, has been around for over a hundred years and was the concept of French fashion designer, Coco Chanel. The beauty of the LBD is that it can be dressed down with flat shoes and a blazer or dressed up with heels, statement jewellery and stunning make-up for more dazzling occasions.
A little black dress is the epitome of classic women’s clothing and every single wardrobe should boast at least one of these multidimensional examples of classic fashion.
Forever Unique’s little black dresses come in a range of styles and can be used to suit any occasion. From exaggerated ruffle mini dresses to simpler modern bodycon items, whatever your taste or style, there’s a little black dress for you.
Mini dresses
Short dresses have existed for many years but truly began trending in the Swinging Sixties. These timeless fashion dresses are a fantastic way to show off long, bronzed pins and work equally well with flat pumps as they do with towering heels.
The mini dress comes in a range of styles, including high, plunging and cut-out necklines. You can choose from many looks, including long sleeved, halter necks, bodycon or shift mini dresses. And a wide range of fabrics, such as satin, sequin, lace or print. This is one example of classic fashion that can easily move with the ages.
Maxi dresses
Throughout the 70’s, the maxi dress was the look of the decade and became popular again in the noughties. It’s remained firmly lodged as a prime example of classic women’s clothing ever since.
The most appealing thing about the maxi dress is its ability to be worn from morning until night. Maxi dresses can be worn casually during the day with flip flops and a denim jacket for drinks at the beer garden or an al-fresco meal out, or it can be dressed up with statement jewellery and wedges for glitzy nights out on the town.
Self-conscious about your body? Don’t worry. Forever Unique has a vast range of long dresses to suit every shape. We have everything from long sleeve maxi dresses to cover up your arms, to wrap maxi dresses to cover your tummy and plunging maxi dresses to show off your very best assets!
Skater dresses
Women come in all shapes and sizes and what suits one woman doesn’t necessarily suit the next. However, skater dresses are timeless fashion dresses that suit every single figure. The cut of skater dresses is perfect for just about any body shape, whether you’re an apple or a pear, thanks to their nipped-in waists and full A-line skirts. They really accentuate a woman’s curves – even if you don’t have any!
Thanks to their flattering shape, skater dresses will always remain high on the list of classic fashion staples. Every wardrobe should have a few different styles. A couple that you can throw on during the day to mix and match with other essential classics in your closet and a couple of more dressy pieces for elaborate occasions, such as weddings and days at the races.
Wrap dresses
Another invention of the 1970s, the wrap dress is one of the most flattering examples of classic fashion. As a symbol of women’s liberation in the 70s, the wrap dress has seen renewed popularity among women since the late 90s and it’s easy to see why.
Forever Unique stocks a range of mini, midi and maxi wrap dresses to suit every occasion. The nipped-in waist of the wrap dress accentuates womanly curves, whilst the wrap-around element can hide self-conscious tummies. Whether you want to go ultra-glam or for a more subtle look, the wrap dress is definitely one classic women’s clothing item that must take pride of place in your wardrobe.
