Long Bridesmaid Dresses

What are long dresses?

A long dress can be the wardrobe essential you never knew you needed, but it can be one of the hardest working items in your outfit!

From mid-length to floor skimming maxi dresses, long dresses are here to stay and they’re a style that every woman should embrace. Whether it’s off-duty casual style, a formal event or a summer beach look, a long dress will quickly become a staple piece that you reach for time and time again.

Who should wear long dresses?

Long dresses are not off limits to anybody, any shape or any figure - so don’t be put off or worried about wearing them. Every woman should have at least one long dress in their wardrobe, and they should love wearing them!

Petite women might think a long dress will drown them, but there are still styles that suit and choosing a midi dress might be an easy way to try out the look.

A long style doesn’t have to mean losing your shape, choose a bodycon long dress or a bardot style design to flatter your figure. Or pick a wrap long dress to show off curves, highlight a smaller waist and project more of an hourglass shaped silhouette.

When should I wear long dresses?

Long dresses are a year-round wardrobe essential, and one that you can wear season through season.

Holiday dresses in summer can keep you cool and looking stylish in the heat and there’s so many different styles of summer long dresses.

Choose an evening style for a long dress that looks great at a formal event, or choose a going out long dress for the perfect style that works for a night out or a glamourous date night.

You can also make long dress styles work for your workwear wardrobe too. Styled with a blazer or a cropped waistcoat, a long dress can have a different edge that’s perfect for big meetings, easy office style or after work drinks at 5pm.
