Lurex, a favorite of die-hard fashionistas of the eighties, is returning to the catwalks. And from there - straight to clothing stores! Now you can again allow yourself to shine in the truest sense of the word. What to wear it with?
Rules for wearing dresses with lurex
The reputation of clothes with shiny threads was somewhat spoiled by the image of a star of a rural club of the disco era. But the rehabilitation of Lurex took place thanks to its ability to take on any form. Including elegant and stylish. Besides Light-reflecting fabrics can correct the appearance of your figure!
Any lady will find her own model among dresses with lurex. When choosing a shining thing, you need to consider:
- a reason for wearing it;
- age;
- features of the figure.
Important! Stylists say that this season you can’t have too much Lurex, and you can wear such an outfit even for breakfast. But what will a school teacher look like in it when teaching a lesson on a normal day? Business style clearly does not allow such liberties!
Glitter is one of the attributes of the holiday, and these cases are relatively rare. However, on the day before a holiday or weekend, clothes with shiny threads, but of moderate cut, seem appropriate.
There are many options - from minis to floor-length dresses, with and without sleeves, with a closed collar and a bold neckline. Young, tall and slender are best - any model will look good on them.
For older women, midi models with a belt or belt are suitable. Coloring should be moderate.
Important! A massive waist requires a belt of medium width: a narrow one will get lost, and a wide one will emphasize excessive pomp. Shapewear will help you look slimmer.
The choice of style directly depends on the type of figure:
- “hourglass”: such an advantageous appearance allows you to choose the most feminine models that emphasize the waist;
- “pear”: a massive collar or stole will add volume to the top, and a skirt widening from the hips will visually narrow the bottom;
- “inverted triangle”: everything is exactly the opposite of the previous case: light top - massive bottom, a V-neck and a flared skirt are also good;
- rectangle: voluminous models like sweater dresses are ideal, with an emphasis on beautiful legs with mini ones.
Reflective fabrics have the ability to visually increase any size, and the impression can be either improved or worsened. So, you can add volume to a small bust by using a cowl collar (the opposite situation requires a sleek style!). Loose silhouettes will hide overly curvy figures.
Features of shade combinations
Illustrious people are capricious. Things too: they cannot get along with inappropriate colors.
Golden colors are “friends” with warm shades: beige and sand, yellow and ivory.The silver color scheme is good in company with cool colors: ash and blue, lilac-violet and pearl gray.
The easiest way to create a set is with black and white: noble black and gold, ethereal white and gold, airy white and silver, contrasting black and silver - any of the ensembles will not allow you to get lost!
Important! The glitter is so noticeable that you need to remember to use moderation! You should not choose more than two prints in one ensemble.
Other colors are also combined according to “warmth” or “coldness”: for red (cold or warm), we pair orange, pink, or lilac. Blue goes with all heavenly shades. We also first evaluate green for heat and cold.
We also take into account our color type: dark skin is well shaded with gold, light skin with silver. The image of a beautiful blonde in a golden outfit is just as famous as the sultry brunette in emerald!
What shoes and accessories can I add?
Since the “soloist” with lurex does not need additional accents, we choose partners for him that do not disturb the overall impression. Two options are suitable:
- shoes and accessories of more modest textures are selected for the dress, which does not exclude contrasts: denim jacket, leather jacket, sneakers, boots with thick soles, knitted hats;
- Several shiny accessories add sparkle to the outfit: shoes or boots with sequins, massive metal jewelry, a clutch with a metallic sheen - the main thing is not to wear everything sparkling at once.
Important! Things chosen for a Lurex dress should not evoke thoughts of luxury: furs and laces, velvet and silks will come in handy in other sets. Flashy makeup, manicures and overly intricate hairstyles are also inappropriate.
Examples of looks with a dress with lurex
- A gold dress with a black jacket of a strict cut, classic shoes: moderately bright and noble.
- A-line mini dress, ankle boots, an elongated down jacket with a fur collar - luxury under the guise of everyday life!
- A long sweater dress, black tights, and classic shoes are also suitable for everyday work with bosses who are not strict about the dress code.
- T-shirt dress, cardigan, high boots – lightness and grace!
