Light blue can be really fresh with it. Almost any bright will also work well. Cognac or animal print can be a fun option for accessories. </p> <p>In winter, burgundy, rust, black, navy, cognac or tan...the options are endless, depending on your own colouring and preferences. It's a great blank canvas and looks easy for travel.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie has a couple of ensemble suggestions.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/06/12/ensemble-white-light-grey-animal-print/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/06.....mal-print/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/07/10/ensemble-cream-black-cognac/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/07.....ck-cognac/</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2016/08/05/ensemble-summer-dress-sandals/">https://youlookfab.com/2016/08.....s-sandals/</a></p> <p>There are many more in that section of the blog...go back in the archives for more ideas!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1818580 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 17:52:34 +0000 tulle 1818580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a narrow waist, Dressy?&nbsp; A wide, corset-style leather belt (they seem to be trending now) would look amazing on this simple dress, I think.&nbsp; I'd go for a statement belt, and keep everything else fairly low key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1818501 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 09:33:11 +0000 The Cat 1818501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cute dress! It looks comfortable, too. Ballet flats (perhaps two-coloured, in Chanel style) would be a great match and be suitable for many ocassions all year round. So would a cardigan and a printed scarf. As for colours, I think blush or light pink would look great with the grey dress as well as with your own pale/fair colours. And a little rouge and lipstick (or coloured lip gloss) will probably help, too.</p> <p>Other solutions:</p> <p>In summer, silver Birkenstocks (or a similar style) would be fine. For cooler seasons, a smart silver sneaker would look fab. </p> <p>Grey or black hosiery (15-40 deniers, depending on your preferences and your climate) will be perfect and look less heavy than leggings. In summer, you may be able to go bare-legged, of course.</p> <p>Some of us have mentioned silver shoes and accessories. However, shoes and other accessories in rose gold would also be a great choice and look fab worn with blush and many other colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1818493 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 08:27:47 +0000 Zaeobi 1818493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More inspiration if you like colour - driving shoes, loafers, smoking slippers, boat shoes and the like are all flat footwear that are trendy right now too (&amp; more supportive than the standard Ballet flat)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1818492 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 08:25:05 +0000 Zaeobi 1818492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As for jewellery, because you dress has a V neck, I recommend either wearing earrings or a necklace that won't compete with the neckline. Notice how this first necklace dips down in a subtle V shape, to mimic the neckline? That's what I'm talking about - a rounded necklace might distract from the neckline, &amp; a choker may take away from the expanse of skin that it would otherwise leave exposed. </p> <p>The second necklace I would recommend wearing as a short pendant - so it doesn't dip any lower than the lowest point of the neckline - so that it also fills the space without competing with it. </p> <p>Since the sleeves are elbow length, you can get away with pretty much any hand jewellery. I personally prefer thicker bracelets if there's more skin showing) from the sleeves), but it's you're choice! Ring would look lovely too! </p> <p>As for shoes? That's totally up to you! The chunky look, with rubber lug soles, is in. But so are elegantly pointed almond toe shoes! I've attached a few different options here but, since you're lighter, you may feel that metallics will help bring your look together without looking too heavy on you. </p> <p>I don't know how old or young you are, but I imagine you could pull your dress off in all sorts of weather &amp; seasons by pairing it with different accessories. The tights &amp; boots could work in autumn with a knit infinity scarf, whereas the white Denim jacket &amp; grey scarf would look great with the metallic sneakers or grey/ black mixed flats at a casual office or spring weekend. </p> <p>I hope my colour suggestions of burgundy, cream &amp; gold with grey also inspire you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1818490 Sun, 25 Jun 2017 08:02:37 +0000 Zaeobi 1818490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You mentioned you're pale, but what about your hair &amp; eye colour? Here's how I would dress it up if you're generally looking for cooler tones (ie blonde haired an blue eyed). </p> <p>(You don't have to wear all these items together, by the way, they're just individual suggestions that create a similar colour story). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1817802 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 08:33:41 +0000 Dressy 1817802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would be considered a stylish sneaker (or other shoe/boot?)

I'd wear it with flat form slide sandals, oxfords, low heel wedges. Capri leggings in an olive-y green, for one... maybe a peach or pinkish colour... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1817733 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 01:39:54 +0000 Anonymous 1817733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If black tights or leggings are too dark, how about grey or navy? You could use a scarf or bag to tie the colors together. This dress looks like it would look good with silver metallic sneakers or loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1817731 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 01:16:04 +0000 Barbara Diane 1817731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewelry is another way to add color or shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1817730 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 01:14:27 +0000 Barbara Diane 1817730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In spring/summer it would be cute with stylish sneakers, sandals, espadrilles. In colder weather I'd try flat boots, a warm scarf and topper. And bag. Many opportunities to add color, texture, pattern, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-this-dress-3#post-1817680 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 21:52:59 +0000 Dressy 1817680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!<br />I'm very much a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl and I'm looking for some advice on dresses. I found a cheap dress online that's simple and seems very flattering on me but I can't decide whether to keep it or not as I don't know what to wear with it. I don't wear heels.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www2.hm.com/nl_nl/productpage.0461802004.html#Zwart/wit dessin"><a href="http://www2.hm.com/nl_nl/productpage.0461802004.html#Zwart/wit" rel="nofollow">http://www2.hm.com/nl_nl/produ.....#Zwart/wit</a> dessin</a> <br />How could I wear this in different seasons? All I can think of is black leggings but think it might be too dark all together with this dress.<br />What are your thoughts? Or does anyone have a suggestion for a nice versatile dress that's not black? (I'm very pale and it doesn't&nbsp;suit me very much, subdued colours&nbsp;seem to work best for me) Thank you! </p>
