The hottest trend at the moment- Grecian style dresses

By Sisi Tsoi


In the summer months, styles that we have missed all Winter long come into style, returning to our hearts and our wardrobes with optimisim in their changelessness.

With the chiffon maxis, the denim cutoffs and the vintage tea dresses come the Grecian style pieces. Classic in their beauty and sweetly flattering to a variety of body sizes and styles, these dresses appeal to everybody and yet manage to have a mantle of poser and intrigue around them. This maybe comes from their unabashed womanliness ; floaty dresses cannot help but make the wearer feel fresh and girly, able to twirl around and feel relaxed and relaxed, yet totally 'done ' in the fine fabric.

It also must , however, have to do with the neutral and ageless colour palette. White, cream, beige and nudes, these tones have the power to be paired with most other pieces and will make sure you have that holiday vibe which will make others envious, never mind that you haven't left the town in months!

The key to finding that fantastic Grecian style dress is to concentrate on 3 factors ; texture, shape, and detail. For texture, look for luxurious fabrics - even budget clothing can be made to look more expensive than it essentially is. Whilst shopping online makes it tougher to get a feeling of the quality of the fabric, you can usually tell from product images whether a piece will ba flattering and longlasting. For shape, think floaty. With the grecian style it is all about nonchalant opulence ; you want a dress that is classy and modest but shows off your tan and has a great cut that flatters the figure. The Grecian style, while simply identifiable, also has a remarkable variety in its cuts ; some pieces have draped shoulders, some are sleeveless, some are only one-sleeved. Try one or two styles to be sure you get the one which you're feeling most happy with, as confidence is the important thing when attempting to make a trend work for you.

When it comes to detail, this is when we can truly have fun finding the perfect Grecian dress. Many of them are relatively plain which whilst safe, lets you build up the layers, and perhaps pair with a loud print or statement necklace for an all around amazing ensemble. Some Grecian pieces , however, are definitely striking in their embellishment. With beaded necklines, metallic patterns and embroidered sleeves, some dresses truly stand out in their quality and therefore are at their most striking when worn simply with a classic pair of heels, or even flat sandals for that relaxed, holiday look.

When it boils down to it, whatever dress ( or dresses ) you select, creating a position in the Grecian trend can't ever be a blunder. After all, it's been rocked for millenia! You simply have to find the correct piece for you, and as the style is commonly flattering, that ought to be easy. Detailed or basic, embellished or neutral, inside this style you're sure to find the perfect style this summer.
