There are different types of dresses for every occasion. Still, whether you’re a minimalist like me or you just need a list of dresses to complete your wardrobe, the key to the essential dress collection is finding pieces that are classic and timeless. While trends come and go, here are the 6 types of dresses you must have in your closet that will surely last a lifetime.
1. Shirt Dress
Shirt dresses are my favorite thing to wear especially on my lazy days. This versatile dress is perfect for any day, whether you are running errands or you have a girls day out with your friends. It can be dressed up or down and taken from day-to-night in no time.
2. Little Black Dress
The one-and-done piece that will get you ready in seconds is a Little Black Dress. It’s the perfect piece for all your outfit distress from the office to a night out and everything in-between. You can pair it with almost everything! Any coat, jackets, sneakers, boots, and even sandals will go perfectly with your little black dress!
3. Elegant White Dress
A white dress is like a canvas that you can do absolutely anything on. Just like your LBD, you can pair it anything from a bright color bag and shoes to neutral colors. It depends on your personal style and what you want to show through your outfit. In addition, white also works for all seasons.
There are actually a lot of elegant dresses online that you get without breaking the bank. So if you don’t have an elegant white dress in your closet right now, go get one!
4. Floral dress
Never underestimate the potential of floral dresses! 2 years ago, I attended a launching party that requires us to wear summer outfit. The 1st thing that came to my mind is a floral print. But I don’t have any floral party dress in my closet. That’s when I realized that I need to upgrade my wardrobe. Most of my clothes are neutral colors, and I rarely wear printed and colorful outfits. It never crossed in my mind that there will come a time where I will need to look for a floral dress. So my advice? Add a pop of color to your wardrobe! Expand your classic dress collection with a variety of styles.
5. Lace dress
Lace is a delicate and light fabric, which makes it a feminine and elegant choice for us, women to wear. If you are a fan of laces, you are lucky because lace dresses are always on-trend. Whether your style is demure or edgy, there many diverse styles of lace dresses available for you. Who knows? You might need a Red Lace Dress in the future to slay an event.
6. Midi Dress or Skirt
Midi Dress is not for everyone, especially for short girls like me. It can be intimidating, but there are a variety of ways to style them. Don’t be afraid to try a style out and make it your own! When I was in college, I’m scared to wear midi dresses and skirts because they might not look good on me. But now, I’m okay with it. Another good thing about midi skirts and dresses is that you can wear them most of the year because of the length.
I am greatful reading your blog 😍 hilig ko talaga mga ganitong kasuotan 😍 thanks for sharing this Ms. Nicole ❤😄
Love ko din mga dress pero wala pa pala ako ng tshirt dress, lace dress at yung elegant white dress. Bet ko din sana mga midi dress or skirt kaso kinulang sa height eh. 😅
ang gaganda po ate, lahat bagay sayo 😊❤
I always wanted to start a fashion blog and maybe start an online shop as well.. I feel so inspired reading your content and motivated me to post fashion-related content..:) That white dress looks so cute…:) wanna get one!
Me too! When I was still working in Manila at a corporate environment, I love wearing dresses as well! It’s so easy to slip in to rather than thinking of what to mix and match. I love your yellow skirt, btw!
You look awesome in these dresses! The white dress is sometimes tricky but always looks lovely.
As a parent,simple shirt na lang ako.But I’m wearing floral dress lalo na pag may okasyon like recognition day or church day.
I am actually not into dress because I am chubby and I feel like I will look bigger in my dress. But, I should give it a try. Dresses make us look more feminine and pretty all the time.
I always pack dresses too when i travel! I feel like it’s easy to wear them rather than choosing top and bottom hahaha. Love your ootds here!
I love shirt dresses. They’re just so easy to wear and very simple lang. I usually wear dresses when Im lazy to mix and match clothes. haha. Perfect for office especially if you’re on the go din.
These are definitely a must-have specially the little back dress or “LBD”. It is essential for every woman and I always carry one whenever I travel because it is iconic, versatile, and timeless. I’ve even worn it a few times with a pair of converse. 😊
I’m not into dresses pero I realized, I have 5 out of 6 on this list HAHA 😀 When I worked as Executive Assistant, I started hoarding dresses from Ukay and online shops and I still get to wear some of it kahit work from home na ako. And I totally agree with this list especially the white elegant dress and little black dress– the basic must-haves on your wardrobe. 🙂
Girl, you look so good in those dresses ahhh. I might just reference this when go and buy dresses for myself to wear. I feel like my style will be more on the edgy side. Better get myself a little black dress then!!
Reading your article made me want to update my wardrobe too! I usually wear dresses during times na tinatamad ako magpants. Sobrang comfy din kase ng dress tapos isahang suot lang 😁
love the dresses. the LBD is really a necessity hahaha.. i got to value it as i grow older because, you know… black is always safe to put on and comes out elegant.
the problem is sometimes i dont look good hahahahaha!!! laki ng problema ko. hahaha! pero yesss, white and black dresses are a must!! i personally dont buy those printed once kasi minsan nasasawa din ako agd. mas okay ako sa plains then all colors ganun! i mean i should have at least 1 in every color
I love the midi dress or skirt!! 😍😍😍
I love the elegant white dress outfit but the problem is, Yung dirt. Especially super gulo or kulit ko, I also get so clumsy at times haha anyway, I love this list! These are the dresses that should be part of our closet 🙂
I super love your dress collection! I myself is a fan of wearing dress and rubber shoes, total comfy wear that is a must have in travels!
Agree with the black dress! Kahit San pwede sya casual man or formal. Partner an ng jacket or high heels man.
I love this list. Ako personally, maliit kasi ako, and ang hirap makahanap ng right fit ng pants na mura pero good ang quality. So, most of the time naka-dress din ako sa mga occasions.
I can relate. I love dresses and skirts over pants when going out or working in the office. Reading your post, I suddenly missed dressing up.
Among the list, I agree with the black dress and floral dress. I have lots of those on my closet! haha. These can go well with anything and can be an office attire or casual attire.
I’m hesitant to wear midi dress because it makes me short hihi. I’m very petite that’s why I keep my skirts above the knee to show my legs haha!
