Classifications of Square Neck Dresses

Actually, the concept of “square neck dresses” covers a wide range. As long as the neckline of the dress is square, it can be called a square neck dress regardless of whether it has long sleeves or short sleeves and whether the length of the skirt is to the knees or ankles. To choose a square neck dress that is the most suitable for you, we need to clarify the classifications of square neck dresses.

In terms of sleeve length, there are long-sleeved square neck dresses, short-sleeved ones, and slip ones. Long-sleeved square neck dresses are more suitable for early autumn, while short-sleeved and slip dresses are suitable for hot summer days. However, please remember that if you are going to attend a formal occasion, a slip square neck dress should not be chosen.

From the perspective of the length of the dresses, square neck dresses can be divided into maxi ones, midi ones, and mini ones. Midi square neck dresses are suitable for most figures and also most occasions. A maxi square neck dress can cover the flaws of the leg lines and look very elegant in fixed scenes such as the beach. However, it must be said that for daily life scenes such as commuting, a maxi dress that is too long is still not very convenient. A square neck mini dress can make you look very dynamic, but like a slip dress, a mini dress is not suitable for formal occasions.

The fabrics of square neck dresses can also vary greatly. In the hot summer, we can choose square neck dresses made of silk or chiffon. These fabrics can help us keep cool to a greater extent. While in autumn or winter, a square dress made of cotton or wool is a better choice to keep us warm.

Of course, in order to make your outfit more colorful, you can also choose some square neck dresses with unique designs. For example, some dresses have hollow designs, some have ruffles as a kind of decoration, and some may have asymmetrical hems. These are all options you can try according to your preferences.

How to Accessorize Square Neck Dresses?

Just like any other individual piece of clothing, a square neck dress also needs accessories, especially one in solid color. Then what accessories go well with square neck dresses?

The choice of jewelry will largely depend on the richness of the pattern of your square neck dress. If your there are a lot of patterns on the dress, then your jewelry needs be subtle. Otherwise, too sparkle jewelry combined with a fancy dress will make your outfit look dazzling.

In most cases, a belt is needed to show your waistline clearly. Maybe you have noticed that compared with round neck, V neck, etc., square neck clothing is more likely to give people a serious and formal sense. In order to neutralize this serious feeling, you need to further highlight your feminine charm. That is why square neck dresses are more compatible for a belt. A simple leather belt is fine, but if you feel that a conventional belt makes you look too rigid, you can also choose a printed fabric belt.

Square neck dresses need more delicate shoes to match. For example, a pair of high heels is a good choice for both commuting and attending dinner parties. If you find it tiring to wear high heels for a long time, you can also choose a pair of delicate Mary Jane shoes or loafers.

In terms of your choices of bags, overly casual bags such as messengers and backpacks may not be a good choice. If you do not have a high demand for the capacity of the bag, you can take a delicate clutch. If you need a bag with a large capacity, you can choose a tote bag.

Square neck dresses are relatively tolerant of matching hats. Apart from peaked caps, there are almost no hats that can not go well with a square neck dress. On the beach in summer, you can wear a straw hat. While on the streets in winter, a beret is a good choice. Besides, a bucket hat pairs well with a square neck dress, no matter the occasion or the season. In the summer, it protects you against the sunburn, while in the winter it keeps you warm.
