Choosing the Right Going Out Dress for Your Body Type

One of the most important factors in selecting a flattering going out dress is understanding your unique body shape. From apple to pear to hourglass, each figure type calls for a slightly different silhouette to accentuate your assets.
For Apple Shapes:
If you carry more weight in your midsection, look for dresses that skim over the stomach and draw attention to your legs or décolletage. An A-line or empire waist dress, like our Rown Karina Mini Dress, can be incredibly flattering. Opt for fabrics with a bit of stretch for a comfortable, smoothing effect.
For Pear Shapes:
If your hips and thighs are your focus area, balance out your lower half with a dress that has a fitted bodice and a slightly fuller skirt. The Rown Celia Midi Dress is a great option, with its structured top and flowy, pleated bottom.

For Hourglass Figures:
Embrace your curves in a dress that nips in at the waist to accentuate your natural shape. Look for styles with a defined waistline, like the Rown Natalie Bodycon Dress. Bonus points if the dress has a V-neck or other design elements that draw the eye upward.

"Accessories are the perfect way to transform a simple going out dress into a head-turning look," says Rown's lead stylist, Alex. "Whether you want to add a touch of glitz with some sparkly jewelry or dial up the drama with a bold, colorful shoe, the right finishing touches can really make your outfit shine."
For a night out on the town, consider pairing your dress with: * A pair of strappy metallic sandals, like our Rown Selena Heels * A sleek, structured clutch in a rich hue * Chandelier earrings or a bold, sculptural necklace * A structured denim or leather jacket to add some edge

Mastering the Art of Occasion-Appropriate Going Out Dresses
While a little black dress is always a reliable choice, the world of going out dresses extends far beyond the classic LBD. Depending on the event or occasion, you may want to opt for a different silhouette, fabric, or level of formality.
For a fancy dinner or cocktail party, a form-fitting midi dress like the Rown Sophia Midi Dress can be an elegant and sophisticated choice. The long sleeves and knee-length hem give it a polished, elevated feel, while the curve-hugging silhouette keeps it sexy and modern.

No matter the event, the key is to choose a going out dress that aligns with the dress code and makes you feel your absolute best. With the right silhouette, fabric, and accessories, you'll be ready to make a lasting impression.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right going out dress for my body type?
The key is to focus on silhouettes that accentuate your best features and minimize any areas you're self-conscious about. For example, an apple-shaped body may look best in an A-line or empire waist dress, while a pear shape can benefit from a fitted bodice and fuller skirt. Don't be afraid to try on a few different styles to see what makes you feel most confident.
What accessories should I wear with a going out dress?
The right accessories can truly elevate your going out look. Some great options include statement earrings, a sleek clutch, and a pair of sky-high heels. You can also add a structured jacket or denim to dial up the edge factor.
How do I know if a dress is appropriate for a particular occasion?
When selecting a going out dress, consider the dress code and formality of the event. A cocktail party may call for a midi or knee-length dress in a luxurious fabric, while a night out clubbing could warrant a bold, short mini dress. Pay attention to the level of coverage, embellishment, and overall vibe to ensure you're dressing appropriately.
Can I wear the same going out dress to multiple events?
Absolutely! One of the joys of a great going out dress is its versatility. With the right accessories and styling, you can totally re-wear a dress to different occasions. Just be mindful of not wearing the exact same look to the same group of people within a short timeframe.
How do I make sure my going out dress fits perfectly?
Getting the right fit is crucial for feeling confident in a going out dress. Pay attention to areas like the bust, waist, and hips, and don't be afraid to get a dress tailored if needed. Also, consider the overall length and whether the skirt or hemline hits at a flattering point on your legs.
