Stylish without being unsubtle, they'll help you attract the right sort of attention. There are skater dresses for sale in shops up and down the country, which should be testament to their widespread popularity. But it should go without saying that in order to make the whole package look right, you need to think carefully about exactly how you wear your skater dress. You need to give careful consideration to how your outfit looks as a whole in order to avoid making any obvious faux pas. Here are a few ideas you might want to bear in mind.

 

An article from Thefashionpolice.net observes that skater dresses, although they've ascended to new heights of popularity over the last few years, aren't actually a particularly new thing at all. In fact, their closely-fitted waists and circle skirts are reminiscent of the styles of the '80s. Of course, the clue's in the name - skater dresses draw their inspiration from the outfits work by ice skaters. It also observes that there are a wide range of different shades of skater dress to choose from - so whether you're looking for something that's bold or understated, you should be able to find something that's just right for you.

 

The article says that one of the best things about choosing a skater dress is the sheer ease of wearing it. Their simplicity means that it's probably best to try to ensure that the rest of your outfit is similarly unpretentious - that doesn't mean that it won't have a striking visual impact, though. In fact, opting for a classy and understated look could be a more effective way of making an impression that going in for something gaudier. Another great thing about skater dresses is that you really don't need to add too many accessories to complete the look - all you'll really need are a pair of shoes and perhaps some tights if the weather's a bit chilly. If you want to accentuate the fitted waist, then perhaps a slim belt could help.

 

A blog post from Theskinnyblondegirl.com also has some suggestions on how to wear skater dresses. It notes that although skater dresses are the essence of simplicity, there are some people out there who don't seem to know quite how to wear them properly. For one thing, you need to think about what the weather is likely to be like. Don't just go out with your bare arms and legs on display if the weather isn't up to it - this might work fine in summer, but you could soon end up regretting it in the springtime.

 

The writer also suggests adding a necklace to really add a bit of emphasis to your skater dress, and also adds that partnering the dress with chunky shoes could work well. The post also suggests adding a pair of frilly ruffle socks as a nod to the ice-skater feel of the dress, as well as providing an additional feminine touch.
