Women: Get “Dressed” for Valentine’s Day

March 30th, 2007

Who needs a sweetheart for Valentines Day when you can fall in love with the hottest dresses of the moment? Simple shapes and classic cuts replace frilly frocks from yesterday, giving women clean, modern silhouettes without stuffing themselves into structured, uncomfortable designs.These delightful pieces

These delightful pieces are practical and sexy, maintaining a woman’s allure without competing with the woman herself. An easy tank dress makes a trip to the grocery store feel special, and works overtime on date night as a guaranteed look-good-at-the-last-minute option.

If you are a simple, no fuss dresser, tunics are the sexy, low-maintenance answer. So often, embracing the current trends means sacrificing comfort, forcing a style that is not fit for our bodies, and even being in downright pain! Thankfully, these dresses, reminiscent of a childhood doll’s clothing but with a modern twist, flatter nearly every body type comfortably. Effortless shapes are forgiving, so that a woman can easily feel confident wearing them; yet these dresses still remain feminine and sexy, making comfort and style synonymous for the first time in a long time. Jump on the tunic trend and throw on Sunner’s "Astor" Tunic dress for a flawless outfit that stands on its own, or add a pair of funky, textured tights and chunky accessories to the Hopsack Jumper Dress, or Velvet’s "Tava" sleeveless tunic dress for a fun twist. Karen Zambos‘ "Nicole" dress has just enough detail-a flirty sleeve with vintage-inspired print on just the collar keeps the otherwise uncomplicated black dress perfect for evening or day.

Feeling flirty but not skirty? Replace the jumper dress with the adorable Johnson "Doty" Romper; belt it to accentuate your waistline (try Elegantly Waisted’s wrap belt) and show off your legs in super-sexy short shorts-without wearing an overly girly piece. If you do have a special date, you cannot go wrong with the little black dress. The Bikini Tunic Dress is a one-of-a-kind style with long sleeves and an empire waist, and the LaRok gold-belted mini dress is a stunner. Or, for something more traditional, wow him with the Saint Laurent little black dress. The banded waist and deep-V neck will keep his attention while its classic cut and color keep it sophisticated.

Whatever the dress, the message is clear: looking sexy and feeling comfortable have never been easier, thanks to the fashion industry’s recent call for tunics, jumpers, and minis.
