What are skater dresses?
Skater dresses are a wardrobe classic that will always be a fashion favourite, and every woman should have at least one in their wardrobe that they can throw on for an effortlessly chic outfit. Creating a universally flattering silhouette, skater dresses highlight waists, skim curves and add a perfect level of feminine shape to any outfit.
Skater dresses get their unique name because they resemble the dresses the figure skaters wear, which feature a fitted body and a short, flippy skirt. The ‘A’ silhouette is usually in a mini dress but there are midi skater dresses too.
Who should wear skater dresses?
If there’s one dress that every body shape should wear it’s the skater dress. Not only does it flatter every figure and shape, but it can be a great way to emphasise your waist and look stylish too!
It doesn’t matter what your body type is or how confident you feel about showing it off, as there are so many different styles and types of skater dresses that you can wear to feel great in.
When should I wear skater dresses?
Skater dresses are so versatile that they can be worn from the office to the bar, at the weekend or even as the perfect date night outfit to wow your partner.
If you’ve got a glam event to go-to then reach for an evening skater dress or a going out skater dress to show off your shape and feel great. If the invite is more formal then a skater style can still work and there are plenty of formal skater dresses that can look effortless and chic at the same time.
For an easy summer style, a summer skater dress can become a go-to piece that works and is easy to style up with sandals and sunglasses. Throw on your skater dress and head out to enjoy the sunshine!
When it gets to autumn and winter, then reach for the autumnal and earthy colour palette and make a cream skater dress or a brown skater dress your go-to for easy fall style paired with knee-high boots and your best coat.
