There is no better way to showcase your legs than with a wonderful short dress. But just what exactly does short mean? Can short mean slightly above the knee? Mid thigh? Or'shorter? A short dress can be defined as above the knee and the short can be any above the knee length that makes you feel most comfortable and fashionable. During the summer months you may have parlayed with friends in a cute, short little number. Don't hide that skinny mini dress just yet; keep it in the forefront of your closet. These tips will allow you to take your short spring and summer dresses from sunshine to night shine in a moment's notice.
Add a Chic Topper: Boyfriend blazers, cardigans, leather bomber jackets, and car coats make excellent additions to shorter length dresses. Boyfriend blazers refer to boxy, or more overweight and less tailored blazers, that have a more masculine look. One way of showing how stylish you really are is to combine masculine and feminine pieces. Simple cardigans are added atop of the dress and can be paired with skinny or brazenly thick belts. Leather bomber jackets produce a more edgy and rocker look that will go perfect with this falls tough girl trend. Car coats are perfect toppers to short dresses; Remember the line 'I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket'? Well, make this small ditty come to life. While car coats can be considered wool coats, we can also throw trench coats under this umbrella as well. Car coats will be bright this fall and will definitely turn heads. Kate Spade premiers her first ever clothing line, and car coats and trench coats alike have polka dots and bright prints. Other brands such as Ann Taylor, Rachel Roy for Macy's, and Liz Claiborne have chic toppers to fit a variety of budgets and fashion preferences.
Layer it Up: The key to taking a dress from the sunny months to the colder overcast months is layering the dress with varying pieces. A short floral print dress can be worn with a striped turtle neck, a pashmina, a silk-wool lined blazer, leggings, and short high waist skirts. If your dress is super short, consider wearing it like a top by wearing it tucked in to a short high waist skirt. A short knit summer dress makes a clean, chic transformation when you add patterned tights, or leggings, a blazer, chunky jewelry, and over the knee boots.
Thigh High Boots: Oh, boots. One of fall and winter's many pleasures. This fall thigh high boots are back with a vengeance, and short dresses make it possible for you to showcase this trend. Model Chanel Iman has been quoted as saying that boots should be worn as pants. With that in mind, your short dress can be paired with over the knee boots to make a super stylish, trendy outfit for a night out or a fresh, fun day out. Thigh high boots don't have to be trashy; they can be worn tastefully. However, if you do not work in the fashion industry, steer clear of wearing your short dress and thigh highs to your cubicle or elementary school classroom.
