Is it just me or are statement dresses having a major moment right now? The holiday season may be behind us but that shouldn’t stop you from putting your party dress on. I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for an excuse to throw on an oh-so-chic statement dress and making a notable entrance. Whether it’s a birthday celebration or date night, I can always find a reason to dial up the glamour.

The rule of statement-making dresses is easy; strike the perfect balance between opulence and practicality. While clean lines and simple silhouettes are always safe I would rather go bold, think revealing necklines with exposed shoulders, exaggerated ruffled detailing, feathers and form-fitting silhouettes. Make a sartorial splash by pairing your statement dress with a timeless high-heel sandal or add a cool twist and pair it with white sneakers.
