Five ways to wear a bodycon dress

Layering an oversized sweater or lightweight blouse over a body-conforming dress transforms the dress into a skirt. 

A bodycon dress, or one that is formfitting, is a great staple piece to have in a wardrobe. Here are five ways to wear a bodycon dress this season.

LAYER IT WITH PANTS

Tuck the bodycon dress into a pair of shorts or distressed jeans. Doing this creates the illusion you are wearing a shirt and pair of shorts. Accessorize this outfit by mixing metals and finish the outfit off with flats or tennis shoes. 

TURN IT INTO A SKIRT

Layering an oversized sweater or lightweight blouse over a bodycon dress transforms the dress into a skirt. Embrace a spring ready style by balancing this outfit with minimal makeup and styling hair into loose beach curls.

WEAR A SKIRT ATOP

Throw a high-waisted skirt over the bodycon dress for a shirt and skirt combination. For a classy look, style hair in a neat bun or a side fishtail braid. Complete the look by wrapping a pastel belt around your waist and pair the outfit with your favorite purse.

FOLD IT INTO A SHIRT 

Half dress, half shirt — fold the bottom of the bodycon dress up toward the waistline to create a shorter, shirt-like version. Combine this transformed piece with your choice of leggings. Add a belt and statement jewelry.

LEAVE IT AS IS

Create dimension with your bodycon dress by wearing a lightweight vest, cardigan or blazer to create a sophisticated style. Accessorize with bangles or necklaces and finish the look with a spritz of your favorite fragrance.
