Casual Dresses for Women

Casual dresses for women look better?

The jury is out. Do women look better in formal attire or in casual dresses? It’s a tough one to answer though, given that each attire is intended to be worn at two separate kinds of events. Women, whose frame they drape, of course, hold the answer to this conundrum.  We have to hand it to them, though. Simply put, they possess this innate ability to carry them both off, making them equally at home with a formal gown as they are in a casual pants suit.

Casual dresses can exist alongside formal ones

A century ago, nobody in the fashion or the civilian world, would have dreamed that casual clothing would come to stay. The advent of casual dresses brought with it a paradigm shift in the materials used. Silk, velvet, chiffon, brocade and lace gave way to denim, flannel, fleece and cotton. Women adjusted to the change like a fish takes to water. Quickly, easily.

Many names, one avatar

By now a number of terms were already in use to describe this ‘ready to use’ fashion garment. Before long, we were hearing terms like ‘leisure wear’ and ‘lounge wear’. As time went on, the range of dresses in the casual category also expanded rapidly. Amongst the earliest was skirts and tops, followed by suits and pantsuits. As the counterculture of the swinging sixties emerged, causal dresses for women saw the mini skirt and the midi, both favourites of the new generation. Jeans of course had already been added to the long list of casual dresses for women. More nomenclatures began to see the light of day, with the emergence of partywear. You’d be forgiven for thinking, women were having it real good!

Comfort and elegance

The question has often been asked as to what constitutes the perfect casual dress for women at a less than formal event. There is really no answer. As long as the casual dress offers comfort, and looks smart and elegant, it could be any garment from her wardrobe. One thing is sure – our new-age woman is sure to carry it off!
