You just can’t beat a summer dress, can you? A summer clothing is more than a dress: it is a symbol of praise, a totem of good times. It is packaged sunshine’s best alternative. On a cloudy day, just having it in your closet lifts you up, and when the sun finally sets, the one-and-don ease of a gown makes it easy to go out and love.
Turns out I was bad. There is nothing more excellent than a summer clothing. Allow me introduce you to this season’s hero: the summertime two- part. It is a gown, but it is also – as a reward ball – a top and a skirt which can be worn differently. This makes it more functional than a summertime gown, and versatility is important if you want a leaner, harder- working closet. Therefore, it is more than just a dress; it is also a better type of gown because a gown that splits at the waist is more suitable for sitting on your body type. Whether the belt is placed correctly determines whether a dress is made or broken, and that also depends on whether you have a long or short neck. You can simply clash the two items at the waist with a two-piece, if necessary.
But first things first. Let’s get started with why wearing a two-piece clothing is funnier than a one-piece dress because it looks more cool. Picture the scene. A woman in a lovely summer dress can be seen across the room. Finally she moves, tides, or turns around, and you realize she’s not wearing a dress at all but a top and a skirt that appear to be dresses. It’s just that tiny bit more current.
There are some wonderful dresses- of- two- sides near. The ( £50 ) Aspiga ($ 85 ) has a shirred neckline that can be worn either on or off the shoulder and a coord ( £50 ). The by Mint Velvet ( £99 ) is the perfect foil to its ( £129 ). Zara has a complete website section devoted to two- part looks: my favorites is the ( £29.99 ) and the ( £49.99 ), which together have a pleasingly convincing bought- it- at- the- regional- market holiday feeling.
I’m going to lay down my strict guidelines for the only circumstances in which you should purchase a summer two-piece because I really don’t want to sound like a bad consumption enabler who is trying to make you look good with fashionable outfits. The first principle is the notebook time test. When deciding whether you truly love a piece of art or just have a passing crush on it, this is a genuinely helpful rule. Is there a specific situation in your notebook that you are already doing that you are immediately inspired to use this search to? Not an absurd group, a fantasy date, or a “if I’ve got a new job,” but a reality of yours. The best indicator of whether the outfit will actually be useful to you is the diary day test.
Rule two, that must be met before you buy, is particular to the dress- of- two- halves and it is this: you may just buy it if you mainly want to wear it up, as a dress. Only purchase the top or bottom if you think you’d really wear both of them; otherwise, you’re spending more money just for the innovation factor of a matching set.
Even if you are not a fan of summertime dresses, there is a two-piece for you. Two of my favourites are from M&S: the delicious and ( blue and white, quilted, £39.50 and £35 ) and the and ( £19.50 each ). I’m also very into this, as a wedding guest outfit – a ( £67 ) and ( £85 ) from & Other Stories.
By the way – we are saying coordinating these days, no matching. These two items are anything but elegant and prissy, and matching sounds a bit formal and snotty. They have all the simple pleasure of a summer gown, but with a little more bit.
It turns out you can eat your bread after all.
