The Ultimate Guide to Different Dresses: 9 Basic Styles

June 19, 2024

 Dressing up hits different when you’re dressing up, in well, a dress.
And maybe that’s because it’s the most versatile and widely worn women’s garment ever.
Or maybe it’s just because it’s a dress.

Dresses are extremely popular when it comes to fashion. They can be chic and cute, gorgeous and magnificent, or even smart and formal. In fact, dresses are so widespread that there are tons and tons of different types of dresses. And to go further, different types of dresses are better suited for different types of occasions.

And that vastness is why anyone can easily become unsure- which kind of dress should I wear?
But don’t dress... oops, stress. Because this is THE ultimate guide that will solve all your dressing… err, pressing problems (sorry, these are really bad puns).

1. Pencil Dress

A pencil dress is the right option for an occasion you want to look smart, neat and formal in. This dress highlights your sillouhette and creates an overall elegant look. 

2. Fit & Flare Dress

Much like an A-line dress but with a marginal difference, fit & flare dresses are fitted closely to the body with a sudden flare at the waist. These dresses are extremely versatile and can be worn for almost every occasion.

3. Pleated Dress

Another dress that makes an impressive first impression, pleated dresses give off an air of sophistication and grace. And they make you look really good! People will be watching you walk by on the edge of their pleats...erm, seats.

4. Corset Dress

Right now, anything and everything to do with corsets is all the rage.
And because of the extremely trendy and fashionable look you'll get, a corset dress is definitely a worthwhile addition to your wardrobe.

5. Shirt Dress

A shirt dress is a fun, informal dress. The kind that's perfect for a picnic on a sunny day or summer day out.

6. Wrap Dress

Wrap dresses have an open flap, which from one side of your body, wraps around the waist to meet the other side. These dresses are extremely adjustable, and highlight the beauty in every kind of body.

7. Swing Dress

These dresses are hang loosely from the body and are cut in a circular shape to provide a fun flare to the dress. Swing dresses are perfect for a casual outing or event.

 

8. Shift Dress

A shift dress falls straight from the shoulder with tucks near the bust or waist to give shape to the dress. Shift dresses are a great idea for a night out- especially with boots and a cropped jacket!

9. Kaftan

There's just one more style to ad-dress. Kaftans. Kaftans are a kind of light, loose-fitting tunic. And they are a perfect idea if you're going for a relaxed and breezy look. 

Well, that brings an end to this blog, this list and all the accompanying bad jokes (that were as dry as a dress-ert). 

And even though scrolling through 9 styles is a lot, we’ve barely scratched the surface. There are so many other different types of dresses, whether they're based on their cuts, designs, lengths, or even something we've missed out on mentioning.

And it's worth ad-dress-ing the fact that, though, everyone has a different, unique body type, every dress is meant for and looks good on everyone. So, get shopping and don't stop until you drop... or find that dress you've been looking for!
