OUR ADVICE

Styles

Whatever the season, the long dress has the advantage of being infinitely accessorizable. In winter, opt for high-shaft boots with a heel, whether small or high, which will slenderize and considerably lengthen your silhouette. Tall women can also pair a long dress with ankle boots, while for petite women, choose shoes that will be completely covered by your dress. In spring or summer, wear flat or heeled fine sandals with your long dress for a bohemian silhouette.

With a short dress, to showcase and highlight your legs, opt for shoes that visually elongate the legs without cutting them off. For a preppy look, choose a pair of flat loafers or small-heeled pumps like babies, 60's style, which will reveal your legs down to your feet and ensure a very slender silhouette. For a more rock look, choose fine ankle boots with a shaft close to your ankle to keep a visually tapered leg. If your style is more casual, even a pair of low-top or narrow-shaft sneakers will do the trick as the sole will slightly add height.

When spring arrives, our dresses take center stage. Light, fluid or structured, they sometimes speak for themselves... In spring, the dress becomes the epitome of refinement, and each accessory plays a key role in revealing its elegance. A fine or jeweled belt highlights the waist and structures the silhouette with subtlety. On the jewelry side, pearls, fine golds or bold earrings bring a luminous and feminine touch, perfectly in line with the retro-chic spirit. Silky or adorned headbands, as well as delicate hats, evoke timeless grace, while miniature bags or natural materials underline the style with modernity. Finally, a pair of elegant mules, fine heel sandals or classic pumps completes the ensemble, delicately elongating the silhouette. Every detail counts to create a harmonious spring look, between vintage heritage and asserted femininity.

A few key accessories (pearl earrings, pumps, lipstick) are enough to transform a classic dress into an evening look.

Every silhouette deserves a dress that enhances it with precision and elegance. If you have an hourglass figure, opt for dresses cinched at the waist and flared to highlight your curves. For an H body type, straight or subtly belted styles will create harmony. A silhouettes will be enhanced by fitted tops and fluid skirts, while V body types will gain balance with dresses with voluminous skirts and softened shoulders. The key? Finding the cut that naturally follows your line while providing comfort and confidence.

Every skin tone deserves a color that reveals it. For brown to golden skin tones, warm colors like red, melon, solar yellow or dark floral prints create a luminous and natural contrast. Lighter skin tones flourish in soft shades such as pastel blue, lavender violet, rose beige or light florals. White and black, timeless, enhance all silhouettes, while green or deep violet add a touch of mastered audacity.

A vintage dress often speaks for itself, but the right jewelry can enhance its entire elegance. Pearls, classic and timeless, are ideal for highlighting a high collar or V-neckline. Golden or mother-of-pearl drop earrings bring light to the face without weighing down the style. A fine bracelet or discreet brooch add a touch of refinement without stealing the show from the dress. The key: staying in finesse, femininity, and harmony of eras.

The harmony between hairstyle and dress creates a complete and mastered style. For a dress with a worked collar or high neckline, opt for a low bun or sleek ponytail to reveal the neck and highlight the details. A fluid dress with an open neckline pairs perfectly with soft waves or a blurry bob. Satin headbands or vintage accessories like pearl combs add a retro chic touch. Each dress-hairstyle duo tells a style, between timeless elegance and assumed femininity.

Wearing an elegant dress requires precision and balance. Avoid accessories that are too imposing that steal the show from the cut or fabric. Shoes that are too casual or massive can break the silhouette, as can a bag that is too large. Also beware of unnecessary superpositions: a well-chosen dress doesn't need to do too much. Finally, the most common mistake? Forgetting the fit. A poorly fitted or too long dress can quickly dull the look. Elegance plays out in mastered simplicity.
