Show Your Shoulders
-
Show off your shoulders in a strapless or one-shoulder dress at a summer wedding. These dresses are appropriate for all body types and come in a variety of styles. When wearing a strapless dress, be sure to add a light bronzer to your shoulders for an extra glow. It may be hard to pair a necklace with a one-shoulder dress because of its asymmetrical neckline, however. Instead, add bold earrings or a bracelet to your ensemble. If you are wearing a strapless dress with no shoulder material, a necklace may work if it is light and simple.
Display Your Legs
-
Wearings a shorter cocktail dress to a summer wedding is a suitable option for many women. Choose a light fabric like silk or satin to ensure your dress retains a formal look despite its short length. Short dresses should be at or slightly longer than your mid-thigh region. If your dress is shorter in length, pair patterned tights with the dress for a trendy look. However, the length of your dress can vary depending on how long your legs are and how high your heels are. Keep it classy by wearing a dress that has more length to it if you have long legs and are wearing higher heels.

Patterns are suitable, though should have no more than three different colors to them. A flower or abstract pattern is an option for women of all skin tones and body types. Pair your dress with a belt for an added touch. You may choose a neutral-toned or black belt to pair with bright colors. Lastly bright dresses can be worn with spaghetti straps, long sleeves, strapless, short or even long dresses. The choice is yours!
Ruffle Dresses
-
Ruffle dresses are perfect for women who want to add fun to their summer look. You can find dresses with ruffles just around the color or layered ruffles on the entire dress. Do not limit yourself to cotton material or plain colors when wearing a ruffle dress, as bright colors and soft fabrics only add elegance to a ruffle dress. If wearing a ruffle dress, keep you jewelry simple and use a thin, rather than thick belt to cinch the waist.
