How to Layer Your Sheath Dress for Work
Do you want to elevate your work looks to be more sophisticated but don’t know how? This easy style trick will take your sheath dresses to the next level with minimal effort!
Hello loves! Do you love a good sheath dress as much as we do? They’re an essential component to your work wardrobe for many reasons! You can wear them year round and the simple silhouette works for all body types. Sheath dresses are also great for layering to build a more pulled together look. Most people only consider layering over their dresses with blazers and cardigans, which can get boring. If you want to step outside the usual but look just as professional, put this style trick to work.
That’s right! Instead of just layering over the top of your dresses, consider the under layer. I absolutely love layering shirts under my dresses! It’s a step outside of the norm but still looks super sophisticated. For my ladies who work in a more conservative office, layering shirts under a sheath dress is a great alternative to wearing blazers all the time. A good structured Oxford shirt gives a clean and polished look. In the cooler months I’ll go for a turtleneck or mock neck top under my dresses for a cozier feel.
Layering isn’t just for fall (it’s summer until September 23rd ok?!). Light layers work well for summer because they’re office appropriate and you can easily go from desk to dinner without too many moving pieces. The possibilities are endless with layering shirts under your sheath dress. You can mix contrasting colors, prints or textures –whatever suits your personal style best! You can easily make 10 outfits with one dress and your coworkers would be none the wiser! Now that’s what we mean when we talk about maximizing your wardrobe! Those staple pieces take you a long way when you know how to style them.
