Many of the people I
know invest a lot of time in finding that perfect dress with sleeves which can
hide their upper arms as they feel uncomfortable displaying it. More often than
not we keep finding ways and means to hide the upper arms portion from the
gaze. Many of the gowns and cocktail dresses which we want to wear frequently
are either sleeveless or backless or off shoulder. This is a big predicament.
This post is about how
we can wear our favorite sleeveless dresses and even make these attires look
graceful by using shrugs.
Shrugs are invariably
versatile and works well for both summer and winter seasons. In summer it can
be used for covering the shoulders and also for concealing your upper arms if
you are wearing spaghetti straps or deep cut sleeveless dresses. Interestingly in winter this style provides
adequate warmth and comfort if the fabric is chosen correctly. Needless to say
this attire also functions as a great cover-up for most of our outfits without even
disturbing it, if worn properly.
This one piece of
clothing should definitely find a place in your wardrobe. Recently when I had a
look in the market, I found it is flooded with varieties of shrug cardigans in
different styles, fabrics and shapes.
Today I am
highlighting different type of shrugs and more importantly on how to team it up
with various kind of outfits to raise your glamour quotient.
Long shrugs
Long shrugs are
available in variety of fabrics including jersey, cotton, nylon mixed cotton
and woolen. You can choose from plain to printed depending upon your choices.
It is a simple
technique to add zing and trait to any of your regular garb.
Short shrugs
Short well fitted
shrugs align best with the long maxi dresses or midis.One alluring
aspect about short shrugs. It enhances the beauty of the dress you are wearing and
boosts the poise and grace in you.
Medium
length shrugs
Their length normally
goes up to the waistline. Due to its
availability in variety of cuts the choice options are not a problem. Personally
I feel that it adorns well with jeans and tank tops.
Lace shrugs
There are few things
which are never out of style. Laces are one of them. A superb effect is created
when it coordinates with delicate fabrics like silk and satin. An exquisite lace shrug has the charming power
to transform any mundane outfit, like a slip dress, almost into a haute
couture.
Shrugs with bling
Sometime there is an uncanny feeling that the dress you are wearing is probably too simple to merit a
consideration for a party wear. At those odd moments, the Bling shrugs can add
glamour and value to your costume. And yes it does cover-up your desired and preferred
areas.
Honestly I feel that
the shrugs places itself comfortably on all the body types. So what are you waiting
for? Revamp yourself into a gorgeous you. Happy Shrugs Day.
