Change is the only constant and there’s nothing that defines this oxymoron better than the fashion world. Trends come and go in just a single season, making way for even more trends. But the bodycon is one dress that you shouldn’t let go of no matter what the fashion experts of divas say. It’s not just your body’s best friend, it’s also functional for both day and evening ensembles. Check below for reasons to keep these staples in your closet.
The Corporate Fit
Work is a fashionable parade for women, especially if your job requires you to meet up with a number of well-dressed potential clients. It’s all about dressing to impress. The crop top paired with a skirt or trousers is what a lot of women prefer to wear to work because it’s comfortable. But there’s nothing that can beat the corporate crispness and style that a bodycon lends at the workplace. Pairing it with a sleek jacket makes the bodycon best suited for any and every boardroom affair. Not only will you leave a bold statement with your style, its aura will resonate through your presentation as well. And if you have little time to prep up for an evening engagement, throw off the jacket and redo your makeup, you’re ready to go without having to go home and change.
Perfect Eventing Attire
There’s no denying the fact that the four ladies from HBO’s super hit Sex and the City have redefined trendy for the modern women with a number of memorable looks. And while getting just about any SATC look isn’t too hard if you’re following the right style guide, doing it with a bodycon and some high heels is just as fabulous. From stunning cuts to plunging necklines, there’s nothing that a bodycon can’t do to get heads turning your way as you pass by.
Traveling in Style
When you’re travelling, it’s always a good idea to pack some fashion essentials – you never know who you might bump into while you’re on a de-stressing detour at an exotic locale. And the bodycon is your best friend in such a situation. The figure-hugging silhouette is perfect for getting the attention you need. And if you’re taking a stroll along the beach, something that’s shoulder-less qualifies as some really trendy beachwear.
Body Confidence
There’s much talk about role models, super models and how retail fashion brands are now diversifying their products to cater to the needs of women who aren’t standard runway sizes. But what everyone seems to forget is that it’s all about feeling comfortable in what you’re wearing rather than constantly feeling like you are an outcast. Bodycon is body-conscious, but it can easily be body-confidence too; and being comfortable in what you’re wearing has a lot to do with being confident. Besides, there’s a huge variety of styles, cuts and colors – choose one that fits you well and wear it confidently.
