What are the different types of basic dresses?

  • The basic mid-length ribbed dress with short sleeves

Sensual, body-hugging and very much in vogue with the most famous 2.0 fashionistas, but also in streetlooks, the basic mid-length plain ribbed dress with short sleeves is a fashion essential, suitable for most body types thanks to its clean, sober lines. You can wear the basic mid-length plain ribbed dress with a pair of sneakers on special offer at our Brentiny Paris boutique, like the white Japan S Asics with gold synthetic leather yoke, or a pair of transparent block-heeled sandals and a classic handbag like a satchel bag or a mini black faux crocodile bag.

  • The basic plain flowing shirt dress

Classic and timeless, the basic plain flowing shirt dress with flap collar and batwing sleeves is a timeless staple of women's dressing. Wear it in spring or summer for a professional look, for example, with a pair of flat black strappy sandals, a large black satchel bag with handle or a small purse handbag, a pretty gold pendant and a pair of small gold hoop earrings.

The basic plain flowing shirt dress can also be worn with a pair of modern sneakers like the gray and blue new balance 373, a black quilted backpack or velvet shoulder bag and a silver chain-link necklace for a more urban look.

  • The basic tight-fitting sweat dress with topstitching

Sexy and urban at the same time, the basic long -sleeved tight-fitting sweatshirt dress with topstitching is particularly trendy in recent years. Wear it with a pair of sneakers like the white Adidas superstar sneakers or the white Le coq sportif Courtstar Denim sneakers at low prices on our women's clothing site, and a classic handbag like a beige imitation leather satchel for a monochrome look.

  • The basic short black strapless dress

In collaboration with boutique projet X, the basic short strapless dress has been a feminine classic since the fashion trends of the '80s and '90s, and is best worn with flat shoes such as espadrilles or black sandals with rhinestone straps and a girly stiletto heel. As this basic dress is very close to the body, it is aimed at young women who are comfortable with their bodies.

Which basic dress to wear according to your morphology?

For A-shaped morphologies, we recommend the basic sweater dress with long sleeves and a round neckline with topstitching, the basic dress and the basic ribbed mid-length plain dress, which will give volume and fullness to your bust and balance the volumes between the top and bottom of your silhouette.

For V-shaped morphologies, we recommend a basic, short, form-fitting X-project dress with thin, plain black straps, which will enhance your slender legs, harmonize volumes and draw the eye to your lower body.

For O-shaped morphologies, it's best to opt for the basic shirt dress with short sleeves and a flap collar, fluid and ample. You can cinch it with a black bi-material belt and an oversized white blazer jacket with gold buttons to highlight your generous, feminine curves without emphasizing flaws.

With this type of silhouette, avoid short, tight-fitting basic dresses, which risk smothering your curves, and generally opt for fitted, straight-cut or flared basic dresses.

For I-shaped morphologies, a plain, mid-length ribbed dress with short sleeves or a short, form-fitting basic dress with thin straps will give relief and structure to this type of long, androgynous silhouette.

For figure-8s, you can wear any basic dress, flowing or form-fitting, with ruffles or gathers. The mid-length ribbed basic dress with short sleeves is particularly recommended, as it will emphasize your slim waist and generous hips thanks to its mermaid cut.

Which accessories to wear with a basic dress?

You can wear a basic dress with a gold or silver chain-link necklace, a brown or black macramé handbag for a walk on the beach, for example...
