It’s a well-known fact that the sundress is one of the sexiest dresses a woman can wear. And men agree, as 42% of men prefer the sundress over jeans or a dress that is more formal, according to one study.

In order to look your best, there are certain criteria to consider when choosing a sexy sundress.

Bust Size

For women with a larger than average bust size, try a dress with a square top. This will give you a great look without saying, “Hey, look at these!”

If you would like to accentuate the chest, try a dress with an empire waist (the waist line is above the natural waist line, often up as high as right below the bust). These type of dresses are also good at concealing the “super pear” figure (bottom heavy) or larger-than-average waist.

Hip Size

Girls with slightly larger waists may want to try an A-line sundress. This means that the dress is typically more narrow up top and flares out towards the bottom.

If you have larger than average legs, try a long, flowing sundress. If your legs are smooth and sun-tanned then by all means show them off!

Strapless or Not?

If you have great, toned shoulders, a nice neck and a slim figure definitely buy a few strapless sundresses. Dresses with spaghetti straps also work well for this type.

Height

Girls who are shorter than average should choose a shorter dress to make your legs appear longer…or just because you like short dresses!

Dress Color

Whatever works for you. If you have a basic white dress and a few pastel colors hanging up in your closet you can’t go wrong.

Class or Style?

Guess what–with a sundress you can have both!

Casual Outings

Sundresses are perfect for casual outings. Whether it be a trip to the store, lunch at a local restaurant or simply having drinks with friends, the sundress is a great clothing choice. Not only do sundresses provide a comfortable option for women but they also allow the wearer to feel feminine and pretty while not being constricted in their clothing. There are plenty of casual sundresses to choose from when looking for one to wear to a daytime outing.

When trying to find something to wear with the sundress so as to make it appear as casual as possible, sandals are a wonderful choice. Whether they be flip-flops or strappy flat sandals, pairing this type of shoe with a cotton or polyester sundress will yield wonderful results. As for jewelry, a beaded necklace and earrings will top off the clothing choice perfectly.

Night Out On the Town

A sundress is also a great clothing item to choose when trying to find something to wear for a night out on the town. Depending on what the night will consist of, there are a variety of fabrics which make the garden-variety sundress seem that much more elegant and dressy. In addition, selecting a sundress which has a more vivid color pattern to it, such as stripes or geometric shapes, you are able to move the sundress out of the daytime wear category into nighttime chic.

As for accessorizing the sundress chosen for a nighttime event, it is best to choose a purse and shoes which match the fabric of the dress itself. Select accessories which have more of a nighttime flair to them, such as a clutch handbag and high-heeled shoes with strappy features, to turn that sundress into a spectacular night-oriented ensemble.

Sundresses for the Office

Although sundresses are not often thought of as work attire, there are certain ways to take that ordinary sundress and turn it into an appropriate outfit for the office. Depending on your job, sundresses can often be worn to the office when paired with a matching suit jacket made of the same material as the sundress. Although this may not work for some professions, some women may work in an office environment where this type of attire will be perfectly suitable in their job capacity.

When choosing the proper shoes and other accessories to add to the sundress ensemble, high heels and stockings may often be worn to make this type of dress office appropriate. A basic handbag and modest amount of jewelry can be worn to complete the overall look and enable one to wear that comfortable sundress to work without looking too casual or unprofessional.

Sundresses as Beach Cover Ups

Lastly, sundresses are a great option when it comes to throwing something over your swimsuit for a trip to the beach or pool. Sundresses come in a wide variety of fabrics and ones which consist of a comfortable cotton or batik print variety are wonderful choices to use as cover ups. These types of sundresses, when used in this capacity, go perfectly with a pair of flip-flops and casual beach bag. Not only do these types of sundresses provide comfort for the wearer but they are also easy to take on and off when hitting the beach or the pool.
