Straight dresses have been around a long time, and there’s a reason for it. They’re comfortable and stylish in more ways than one. With so many creative designs to choose from, we wanted to share our favorites with you.

The shapes and sizes of women vary depending on natural traits and self-care, and clothing designers struggle to make pieces for each individual. That’s why we love straight dresses. They fall down your body. It’s not meant to hug curves, making them the best choice for professionals and an easy choice for those who want to slim their shape. Straight dresses are created in different materials and colors, so don’t worry about not finding one that suits you. Now, let’s go over our absolute favorite straight dress styles.

1.  A-Line

The A-line dress is exactly what it sounds like. It creates an A-like shape over your body. There’s not a body type that wouldn’t be complemented by this design. It can accentuate your bosom and hide that muffin-top at the same time. Depending on your preference, it can have long sleeves or no sleeves at all. It’s the perfect everyday dress that conforms to your work’s dress codes, afternoon strolls in the sun, and family gatherings on the holidays. Have something fancier in mind? Pick a pattern and color that stands out, and go to that wedding in comfort and style.

2.  Column

The column style is the definition of elegance. Tight-fitted across the chest, it hangs down your form with grace. It manages to be snug and loose at the same time. It hides unwanted belly fat and supports large and small bosoms. The design can range from long sleeves to spaghetti straps. If you want to make a distinct impression, this is the style for you. It’s the perfect dress for an evening out. Have a ball to go to? Prince Charming is waiting!

3.  Drop Waist

The drop waist dress is so cute! The top and bottom may look like a shirt and skirt combo, but it is a dress. It creates a flattering figure. The waistline sits well below the natural waist, elongating the torso. If you want to look taller and slimmer, this is the style to choose. This dress is perfect for a casual date or a trip to the beach. Love floral patterns? This is where you can shine. A floral drop waist dress is freeing and feminine. Hippy chic is the way to go.

4.  Empire

The empire dress is great for women in need of a little camouflage around the waist. The waistline sits high, usually just under the bosom. This allows the design to fall over your curves, granting you the coverage you need. Going on a date? Throw a cropped leather jacket over the top and you’re in business. Best part? It’s so comfortable. It’s loose-fitting, so don’t worry about your breathing techniques. There’s no fighting for breath in this dress. Slap that lipstick on and stroll down the runway.

5.  Kaftan

If you want a loose-fitting dress that shows off your unique personality, then the kaftan dress is meant for you. It’s known for its distinctive designs and colors, so go crazy! Pick a style that suits you. Everyone’s favorite part of this design is its comfortability. It’s straight and wide, allowing freedom in your movements and confidence in your steps. Accent it with bold jewelry and light sandals. This dress is daring, so there’s no need to spend hours on your makeup. It will compliment your natural beauty just by falling over your body.

6.  Sheath

Unlike the kaftan, the sheath is meant to blend with your body. It may look straight on the hanger, but once you put it on you’ll see it bend over your curves. The versatile design can be paired with many different accessories and worn several ways. Want a professional look for the office? Throw a colored blazer over the top of your black sheath dress. Its length ends at the knee, so get those leather boots on. Going to a cocktail party? Get rid of the blazer and boots. Put on those heels and start mingling.

7.  Shift

The shift style is fun and easy-going. Unlike the similar A-line style, which falls from bust to calves, this dress falls from the shoulders to knee. It doesn’t hug your curves or try to accentuate anything other than your beautiful bare legs. It’s easily accented with boots or sandals. Chilly outside? Wear some leggings underneath and a cardigan over the top. Who said you couldn’t be cozy and stylish? No matter how you decide to wear this straight dress it will be a win because you feel good in it. Confidence and comfort. Remember those two things, and you’ll never fight against your closet again.

Women come in all different shapes and sizes—it’s what makes us uniquely beautiful. Despite our natural allure, there are ways to accentuate what we have. Camisoles (camis) are perfect for enhancing your beauty while staying comfortable.

Camisoles are one of many tools in a woman’s arsenal of clothing. There are several different styles, materials, and shapes. Often they are used as undergarments, but we’re here to show you that they can be so much more. From nightwear to workwear, you’ll see just how awesome camisoles can be in your daily life. Remember, your wardrobe sets the tone, so make it a good one. And don’t worry, you’ll be cozy while you’re strutting your stuff down the runway.

1.  Body Hugging

The body hugging camisole is exactly what the name implies—it hugs your body. The form fitting piece is commonly made with a mixture of cotton and nylon, squeezing your shape and showing off those curves. Which brings us to body type. The body-hugging style can benefit any woman, but if you struggle to show off your slim waistline then this piece is perfect for hourglass-shaped ladies. With shoulders and hips that are the same width, we know you tend to drown in your clothing. So hug your body and show off that beautiful shape of yours!

2.  Cotton

This cotton camisole is a popular choice. It’s breathable and soft against skin. Women tend to choose it for comfort wear and workouts, but it can be used to accentuate your style, too. Layer it with a button-up shirt or a cardigan. For those of you who want to show more curves—I’m talking to the athletic-shaped ladies out there—tuck the camisole into your elastic waistbands and throw a crop top over it. This will add curves to your straight waistline. Or simply wear it while exercising. Just know that you’ll look good and feel good.

3.  Silk

Silk camisoles are feminine and slimming, and because of their soft texture most women choose to use them for sleepwear. What man wouldn’t want to see his wife wearing silk? So, we can’t blame them. But there is much more to this piece than meets the eye. For those ladies with an inverted triangle shape, this top can help slim your top half. Grab one with a V-neck shape to emphasize a vertical line. Pair the camisole with a blazer for a chic boss-lady style at work. Wear it with an A-line skirt to create even more balance. Voila! You’re even more beautiful than before.

4.  Lace

Lace is sensual and feminine. A lace camisole can highlight any style you’re after with beauty and mystery. It’s the perfect piece to layer your dresses and low-cut tops with. For ladies with the rectangle-shaped body type, this is the camisole we suggest. You can pick one that is full lace or partial. If you pick partial, try to find one with lots of lace and design around the bosom and shoulders. Not only is lace fetching in itself, but it will add shape to your naturally even shoulders and hips. Tuck in that waist, and start walking down your personal runway.

5.  Bra

Oh, yes! There’s a camisole bra. Several different styles, in fact. Some are made with midriff length and some are made with full length. Women can wear them under other layers or alone. They are meant for your convenience, so you don’t have to deal with two different pieces of clothing. And that’s why this is the perfect choice for apple-shaped ladies. We know you’re often ample-bosomed, so support is key when caring for your shape. Grab a camisole bra and pair it with a V-lined top or A-lined shaped dress. Support the top and let the bottom flow.

6. Shapewear

Shapewear camisoles are wonderful for anyone who wants help shaping their curves. You can easily layer clothing over the tight-fitting piece. This brings me to the curvy pear-shaped ladies out there. Grab a shapewear camisole to attract attention to your beautiful waist. V-line or exaggerated necklines will draw the eye to the slimmest part of your body. Remember, they’re supposed to sculpt you, not strangle you. Choose the size that feels good. When you’re ready for the day, don’t be afraid to swing those hips, knowing your figure is well-cared for.

Most of us aren’t expert fashionistas, and most of the time we don’t have the money to be one. Nonetheless, there are basic pieces that every woman should have. You deserve to approach occasions with both style and comfort.

1.      Cardigan

Every woman needs at least one cardigan hanging in her closet. It’s a versatile piece of clothing, but most importantly, it is comfortable. If you aren’t going to keep dozens of different styles then pick one that is lightweight. Make sure it’s long enough to cover up with on those cold days (or if you don’t feel like showing skin for that particular occasion). Stylish comfortability is what we’re striving for, so pick one that feels good to wear.
Speaking of stylish, let’s talk about your outfit options with this adaptable piece. Going on a date? There’s no reason you can’t wear a cardigan. If you pick the right accessories, it can look just as attractive as any other jacket. Wear it over your dress and boots. Running late to work? Throw it over a plain shirt and jeans. If you pick a cardigan with a pattern or muted color, it can enhance any look. Think smart, attractive librarian.

2.      Flowy Dress

Yes! A dress is a must in your wardrobe. Flowy dresses are elegant, attractive, and easy to accessorize. The best part? They’re so very comfortable. This piece is supposed to be loose-fitting so don’t worry about the five extra pounds you gained. Flowy dresses are meant to not only look good, but make you feel good. Free and beautiful. Pick one with breathable fabric and a comfortable length. Feel like a nightgown? Good, it’s supposed to.

This freeing piece of clothing can pair with your cardigan, boots, and even leggings if you so prefer. Add bold jewelry for a hippy-chic look. Go out shopping with friends or take a stroll through the park. It’s great with a natural face, so don’t worry about spending hours on yourself just to run some errands. Want something less casual? Add a cute belt. It will tighten the dress and show off your wonderful curves—perfect for an evening date.

3.      Black Jeans

A classic piece to be sure. Everyone, no matter what shape or size, looks great in black jeans. Depending on your preference, it can be skinny jeans, straight-fit, or even jeggings. Jeans are supposed to be comfortable to wear during work. Don’t try to squeeze into a smaller pair—you’ll regret it. Get jeans that are going to compliment your lifestyle. Remember, it’s important to feel good.

Black jeans are perfect for most workplaces. Black is a uniform color and will combine with your company’s required polo. Don’t wear a uniform? Throw a nice blouse on with the jeans. Pull on some leather boots and you’re ready to go. Are you an artist who wants to make a statement? Add patches, rips, or even draw on them. They’re the perfect blank canvas for you to work with.

4.      Tailored Shirt

The tailored shirt. A necessity if you are a busy woman on the go. It can be used for casual or business use. Make sure to get a breathable material, especially if you’re going to be adding that cardigan over the top. Wherever you purchase your button-up shirt, you’ll want to have them measure you or do it yourself. It’s well worth the time to make sure you get the correct size. Comfy and professional! Who could ask for more?

Want to put a look together in ten seconds or less? Tailored shirt, black jeans, cardigan. Done. The perfect outfit for your daily life. Take off the cardigan for a direct, boss-like style at work. If you plan on keeping multiple tailored shirts, get colors and patterns that suit your moods—because we all know that our minds change daily. If not, pick a muted color or the classic black or white, so it’s guaranteed to succeed at any event you have planned.

5.      Leather Boots

Leather boots. A basic piece that every wardrobe should have. It can be synthetic leather. We are looking for boots that can be worn daily at any given time. And at any event. So, no heels! Pick a lovely black pair with foot support. The height of your boot’s shaft depends on you. Do you live in a place with rain or snow? It’s probably best to grab some knee-length ones. Not worried about weather? Grab some ankle or mid-calf boots. You want to be able to walk or stand for hours.

Find a style that will complement the clothes you already have. The cardigan, flowy dress, black jeans, and tailored shirt are all meant for leather boots. Zip-ups are the easiest, but laces have their charm, too. Pick your favorite. They’re the definition of function and form. Work, dates, errands, or strolls. Wherever you need to go, you won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable. And you will certainly be stylish.
