Choosing accessories | Choose beautiful jewelry, a handbag and shoes

If the dress itself is extremely expressive, it is worth choosing subdued accessories in one color tone, which will maintain the harmony of the entire style, e.g. delicate jewelry in silver or gold and minimalist handbag cuts. However, if the character of the dress is maintained in a classic and simple form, you can choose bold and eye-catching accessories in the form of expressive jewelry, patent high heels, or a handbag finished with sequins, glitter or feathers.

Depending on the occasion, choose flat or high-heeled shoes. Shoes for a flared dress can be either elegant ballerinas, which add lightness and girlishness to the style, or stilettos, which change its character to a more formal one.

Outerwear | Protect yourself from the cold

Flared dresses are available in a huge number of styles, from mini and midi models, which are a good choice for warm, summer days, to maxi cuts with long sleeves, which in turn will work well in the autumn and winter, e.g. for New Year's Eve or prom.

Especially when you plan to wear a flared dress in the colder months, don't forget to choose the right outerwear, such as a stylish jacket, elegant wrap, bolero or light cape, which will not only additionally decorate your style, but will also provide you with warmth and comfort, especially when moving outside.

Choosing underwear | Feel confident and comfortable

Properly selected underwear is the key to self-confidence and comfort when wearing a flared dress. Choose underwear that goes well with the style of the dress, does not stand out under clothing and provides you with comfort throughout the day or evening. A good choice is any type of seamless underwear in a neutral skin color, which will remain invisible even with light and thin materials.
