Unique Sun Dresses
From LoveToKnow Womens-Fashion
Unique sun dresses are a great choice for summer, but you can also style them for fall and spring in a flash. Take a look at different designs and colors that will suit your particular requirements, but that won't go out of style in just a season. If you shop smart for your sun dress, you won't just be getting compliments, but you'll be fighting the urge to wear it nearly every day.
Unique Sun Dress Styles
These are some of the most popular looks for exotic and creative sun dresses from independent designers and major retailers.
Deep V-Neck Sun Dresses
Why choose a deep v-neck sun dress? You'll have the chance to dress each frock up with layering camisoles to match your shoes and accessories, and your unique vibe can change from season to season to stay in line with current trends. For day to night, you can remove the layers and simply wear a deep-plunge bra beneath your selection.
Some popular styles include:
- V-necks worn with a coordinating scarf over top to disguise cleavage
- Non-functional buttons and trim accenting the minimal bodice design
- V-neck dresses with a slight roll
Tiered Sun Dresses
Tiered dresses are a great choice for shoppers looking to add bounce to their step. They catch the wind and ripple, perfect for summertime, and they can incorporate the popular color-blocking technique in both bright and muted colors.
Some popular styles include:
- Tiered dresses with spaghetti straps to balance out a full skirt
- Maxi sun dresses with a slim bodice style
Tube Top Sun Dresses
Strapless sun dresses are great for catching a tan or wearing as a cover-up. While many are found in smocked styles also seen on more youthful dress designs, they are also seen in a shaped, structured bodice design that can even incorporate boning.
Some popular styles include:
- Mini tube top sun dresses with a matching vest
- Strapless dresses with nonfunctional, decorative buttons at the front
Asymmetrical Sun Dresses
Ruffles and uneven hemming can create an extremely unique sun dress look. Many of us feel like our sun dresses seem similar to our friends' summer dress versions, but asymmetrical sun dresses look more artistic and expensive than other designs.
Some popular styles include:
- One-strap sun dresses
- Handkerchief hem dresses
