Cool and stylish, these bodycon dress styles are definitely worth buying.




1. The Classic All-Black Mini

The all-black mini, if there is anyone to be inducted in to the bodycon hall of fame, is it. This look is clean, sharp and is extremely versatile and can be done from after work cocktail party right through to late night party. All it takes is a good fabric and a ponte, scuba or ribbed jersey will do: this fabric provides the structure to the silhouette, but has enough give to ensure comfort.




2. The Ruched Satin Midi

Sleeves – when all the cloth folds are gathered and draped down the dress, running vertically down the dress – both flattering and very elegant. The effect is red-carpet worthy, but not necessarily on a red carpet occasion and it can be done on a satin or satin finish fabric cut to midlength.

3. The White Bandage Dress

The white bandage dress is high fashion in a nutshell and is based on the structured, bandage-strip designs that have been staple to designers for some time, such as Hervé Léger. The thick elastic stripes both horizontally and/or diagonally provide a sculptural silhouette which appears to have been molded rather than stitched together.




4. The Leopard Print Moment

The animals were made to fit the bodies, and the body-hugging silhouette was created for the animals. There are very few dresses that can manage to look wild and chic at the same time and a leopard print bodycon dress in a classic brown and black color is one such dress. Even a basic silhouette is enhanced with the print, giving it a more rich and interesting look.

5. Cutout Detail in Neutral Tones

Widely discussed in modern fashion, strategic cutouts are features that when used in a close fitting cut, create an editorial feel and make it look very modern. Side slits at the waist, one keyhole at the chest or geometric slits at the shoulders all add interest and emphasize a particular part of the body in a purposeful and on-trend manner.




6. The Electric Color Pop

The colour of this dress is so saturated and electric that it makes a statement in a sea of nude and black. Forget black, gray, brown, and neutral shades and embrace vivid cobalt blue, fire engine red, dazzling fuchsia and emerald green — colors that speak for themselves and don’t need an accessory to make a statement in the room.
