Knee-length dresses and dresses below the knee are a completely new element of women’s wardrobe. Something that seems normal and unquestionable to us today was something innovative and even controversial in the 1950s. Women began to show their legs as a manifestation of their independence and progressive emancipation. Women left their homes on their own terms, they loved showing off their legs and the attributes of their femininity – even in business and formal situations. It is to the designers of the 1950s and then the 1960s that we owe short jackets and dresses below the knee. Who today does not remember Jackie Kennedy’s iconic outfits?
A trend that was born in the last century has permanently entered the canon of women’s fashion. Each season, designers release new versions of dresses below the knee.
Dresses below the knee: who can wear them?
Dresses below the knee are designed for women with all types of figures. Clothing stores offer dresses below the knee for every body type. In fact, choosing the right cut of a dress is more important than the length. Knowing your own proportions will be invaluable when choosing the right dress below the knee.
If your hips are wider than your shoulders, you are a typical pear. Look for dresses above the knee with an extended top that will balance your proportions.
If your hips are narrower than your shoulders and you are a lollipop type of figure, choose a dress that is modest at the top and extended at the bottom.
If your hips and waist are the same width, look for dresses above the knee with a belt that will create a new silhouette profile.
Dresses below the knee for every occasion
Clothing stores offer dresses above the knee that you can match to any occasion. What dresses to look for and when to wear them?
A trapeze dress below the knee will be perfect for women who have shoulders wider than their hips. This dress cut will perfectly balance and even out the proportions of your figure. A trapeze dress below the knee is a very universal proposition. You can wear it both in formal situations: in the office or at a business meeting, and in everyday situations: shopping or meeting with friends. If you want to look elegant, match a trapeze dress above the knee with classic leather stilettos, which will additionally lengthen and slim your exposed legs. In everyday situations, you can wear the same dress even with sneakers and trainers.
A red dress above the knee is the quintessence of femininity. Put it on when you want to impress those around you. You certainly won’t go unnoticed in this outfit, although you can cleverly manage the “coolness” of your creation. If you match it with everyday sneakers or suede ankle boots, you will create an intense, eye-catching everyday styling. A fanny pack or a comfortable backpack for small items will fit in perfectly here.
When you wear high stilettos with a red dress above the knee, you will create the highest dimension of a feminine outfit. If you finish your look with red lipstick, you will have the world at your feet.
A loose dress below the knee is great for everyday wear. It is also a good option for such special stages in life as pregnancy: you will feel very comfortable when nothing is pressing on you. We recommend a loose dress below the knee for everyday wear: to the office, for a walk or to a café. You can match it with a denim jacket or a biker jacket. A loose dress below the knee will also look great with a long cardigan.
A pencil dress, a dress below the knee, depending on the accessories, can be both an evening outfit and an everyday outfit. When you choose high shoes: elegant sandals or high heels or classic pumps, you will get an evening version. Dressed like this, you can go to the theater or on a date. When you choose everyday shoes: sneakers, trainers or ankle boots – you will have a great casual, very urban look.
