Sheath dresses are chic and sleek. What’s better than that? How about the fact that you are able to wear it and pair with many different articles of clothing and accessories. The key to making one sheath dress a versatile piece is selecting a sheath that is a wearable shape, shade, and fabric. The looks above are designed around a basic A-line cut sheath dress. A-line cut flatters a variety of body types and the length of the dress is appropriate for day or evening use.

It can easily be cinched with a belt or worn lovely and loose. The lace texture and detailing is able to be dressed up, as seen in the last look which is ideal for a wedding. Paired with sparkly accessories like brilliant gold heels, dazzling jewels, and then given a pop of silky color from a clutch, it is instantly evening ready and appropriate. It can also be dressed down or worn business casual, as seen in the first look.

The first look is perfect for a weekend afternoon of leisure-shopping, luncheons, running errands, and enjoying a day trip away. It can be worn business casual-perfect for work and then even transitional into play-cocktail hour out with co-workers or an impromptu dinner with your significant other. You may even dare to turn it into a perfectly acceptable and stylish bathing suit cover up. Slip it on to look sleek as you stroll around the pool and then cover up and head off to a lunch on the boardwalk or at the club after a swim in the ocean.

There are a variety of sheath dresses that will fit in with your lifestyle and flatter your figure, but you can get the most bang for your buck by choosing one sheath that can be worn in a variety of ways!
