From Bodycon To Maxi Dress; 12 Types Of Dresses That Belong In Your Wardrobe

When talking about comfort and style, maxi dresses check all the boxes; they are simple, airy, and fit like a glove. They are awesome if you're planning to laze around the house or run around doing errands and then switch up quickly for a coffee run.

LBB Pick: We like this strappy maxi dress from Blue Hour. There's just something about white maxi dresses that makes it all look like a dream. Plus, this one has pockets. We are sold!

Pro-Tip: Here are our top picks for maxi dresses.

One shoulder dresses are just the outfit if you have a party coming up. They look good on everyone and are fun to style, with just the right sprinkling of edgy and sexy.

LBB Pick: If you don't already have a go-to party outfit, you will find it on RSVP. We like this navy blue dress that has a velvety texture and can be easily styled with block heels and stud earrings for the night.

As with most trends, the halterneck style has also made a comeback. A halterneck dress features a strap that runs from the front of the dress and is tied around the back of the neck; the upper back is usually uncovered, making it the ultimate head-turner.

LBB Pick: Make a statement with this dress from The Clothing Factory. We absolutely love the lace detail and the white makes it a timeless piece.

A shirt dress should be on your list if you're going for the 'casual with a hint of formal' vibe. It is like a longer shirt, made of crisp fabric, but with a regular fit that gives you a defined, formal look.

LBB Pick: We like this shirt dress in a solid khaki green that is made of poplin and features a tapered waist with pleats. It is also available in classic white and black colours.

Have a thing for denim but don't want to put on jeans? Slip into a cute denim dress! This casual-cool dress is effortless, chic, and ideal for daytime errands.

LBB Pick: We like this sleeveless denim dress from Twenty Dresses that features a playful patchwork pattern and has two pockets. You can ace your laidback look with this one, making it the perfect fit for a casual brunch.

The bodycon is a skinny-fit dress that gives you that hourglass figure and a sleek, fitted look. It is usually made of stretchy material that gives it the figuring-hugging detail.

LBB Pick: We love this stunning animal-printed bodycon dress from NA-KD. Made with the finest material, it features a square neck, and styling it will be easy-peasy.

While many think of a slip dress as an undergarment, when styled well, it looks simply stunning. Usually made of satin, a slip dress features a V-neck or draped neckline and narrow shoulder straps. If you wish to be a bit covered, you can also pair it with a turtleneck or T-shirt underneath.

LBB Pick: This satin slip dress from H&M has my heart. In an evergreen black, this one has a low-cut back which makes it all the more appealing.

As the name suggests, a strapless dress has no sleeves or straps, and fits just above the bust, revealing your shoulders and collarbone. The dress looks good on everyone and the figure-hugging silhouette brings out your best features.

LBB Pick: We have our eyes on this classic white dress from NA-KD, picked out from the global store on Nykaa. We like the ribbed pattern and since it's made of cotton, it will be perfect for the summer.

Dating back to the 70s, the wrap dress has only evolved with time and is always in style. It features a front closure by wrapping or gathering one side across the other and tying the fabric together. The dress feels comfortable and is suitable for casual and formal gatherings too.

LBB Pick: We like this gathered black dress that features a plunging neckline. You can style it with stilettos and pair it with a clutch to complete the perfect night look. 

A T-shirt dress is the ultimate casual dress that makes you look effortlessly cool. Styling this dress is super easy as you can pair it with boots or sneakers, a denim jacket, or fishnet stockings—the possibilities are endless with this one. While you can obviously buy one, you can also pick a T-shirt from the men's section to nail the oversized look.

The bell sleeve dress is a timeless style and the focal point of the dress is the sleeves that end at the forearm and then flare down towards your hands, adding a bit of drama and flair. The fabric is flowy and does not stick to the skin, making it breathable and comfy for the summer.

LBB Pick: With a printed pattern and V-neck detail, this mini dress made of cotton is a great option for a casual daytime outing. Just style it with solid white heels or flats and hoops to complete the look.
