The sheath dress...

There's one item of clothing that is very difficult to get wrong, and that's the sheath dress!  This style is great for a number of reasons.  It's just one item of clothing so you don't have to worry about what to wear or match with it (especially if you're one of those people who isn't good at putting separates together!); it's great for work as there are a multitude of work sheath dresses to choose from that are chic and professional; perfect for an evening event, you can just choose one that's a littler dressier, maybe with a ruffle or unusual neckline detail or just get one in a great color like red or turquoise and add a string of pearls!; with grauduations and summer events coming up a lot of people have been asking me about what would be appropriate and easy to wear.  A sheath dress is the perfect answer.  It can be as simple or as dressy as you want it to be, and will stay crisp and comfortable all day.  A lot of sheath dresses are sleeveless, so if like me you don't like to show off your arms, just add a little shrug or a nice wrap! 

You can wear the sheath with any type of heel, it really depends on the event and comfort level you need. For the day you can wear a nice summer sandal, and if you want height and comfort, go for a wedge heel.  For the evening I would choose a great nude pump, you can't go wrong with that as it will add height and the nude color elongates the leg! 

There are so many different sheath dresses to choose from these days, you can really find some unusual and great looking ones.  You can go with a solid color, color blocking which is very on-trend right now, or you can choose a print dress if you don't like the idea of a solid color! One of my favorite places to buy sheath dresses is Macys.  They have a huge selection to choose from and some great designers too.  I love the Calvin Klein dresses as they are simple and elegant with flattering detail, and they are well made.  I have a couple of them that will never go out of style. 

So if you're concerned about what to wear for that special summer event this season, make your life easier and go with a sheath dress!

Here are a number of different looks for you to get some ideas of how to make this look work....
