| - White. This was the key colour on the catwalks, and looks really chic and designer. The white summer dresses this 2006 came in all sorts of designs and lengths, so experiment with styles you wouldn't normally try, and be surprised! If you are afraid of investing money in a dress you think might stain too quickly think about buying white accessories: shoes and bags are key this summer. Other colours to buy: red, navy, turquoise, yellow. - Broderie Anglaise. For those that don't know what this is, it is a bit like a heavier cotton version of lace. The feminine stitching was seen all over the catwalk, in various colours, especially white and cream or off-whites. Trying to find summer dresses with this broderie anglaise could not be easier, start on the high street for great bargains - Cropped Jackets. By far the greatest accessory to go with any outfit in 2006 is a cute cropped jacket that accents some colour from the dress. Try jackets with cropped sleeves as well as length, with a different neck-line than you are used to. Don't button up the jacket as this will make it look to military, but go for an open collar effect that will make you feel stunning and feminine. In that light, make sure that yo buy a jacket that fits your shoulders, pulling them back so you have a great posture. - Waist details. Use some serious cinching at the waist to create a great figure, especially for those whose waist seems to be missing. Try any kind of belt thicker than about 1.5 inches, as this is the most flattering thickness. Any colours would look great, especially dark browns and blacks, not only will they go with all outfits but they will make you look even slimmer. |
