The long sleeved mini
July 23rd 2009 03:56
It's tasteful, it's flattering, and it's what everyone on the A-list party circuit is wearing - yes, I'm talking about the long-sleeved mini dress. Ideal for when there's a chill in the air but you still want to look hot, this dress allows you to show off your legs while keeping things modest up top. It's extremely versatile too; you can wear it hippie-style and loose, or sex it up with sparkles and sky-high heels.
The great thing about this style of dress is that the proportions are just right. From a distance, your legs will look extremely long, and up close you won't be showing off too much skin. For this reason you can wear this mini as short as you dare, without being drawn into the realm of skankiness. Also the shape of this dress is very sixties, so your outfit will have a distinct retro appeal, even if the detailing is modern.
A huge amount of focus will be placed on your shoes, so make sure they're fabulous, and preferably stilletto heels, as platforms don't look quite right. There's no need for jewellery, and for maximum impact, wear your hair loose. Here are some celebrity photos for your long-sleeved mini dress inspiration.
