How to wear a dress like a 21st century Marilyn Monroe

Let's face it, Miss Marilyn Monroe was a fashion icon, even to this day women around the world take influence from her wardrobe. The woman was the epitome of style and sass, shaking up the 1950s with a myriad of photo shoots, songs and films.

Celebrated as a sex symbol and emblematic of her era, Marilyn is revered for revolutionising attitudes towards sexuality and fashion. She remains a sex and pin-up symbol even to this day.  

Our latest dress collection is themed around the style of the blond bombshell, with a dash of 21^st century sexiness and revival.

So, how do you emulate an idol? It is simple really, you have to dress to undress. When choosing your outfit for the evening, be it at a dinner, party or other special occasion, think simple yet sexy - a strange, but trust us, rewarding concept.

Marilyn was a fan of neutral block colors, letting her understated yet glitzy jewellery add the finishing touches to her dresses. You need to let your dress do the talking, teaming it with classic accessories and sky high strappy heels to complete your look.

You can bring 2018 and your own personal style into the mix with the details of your dress. Creating the illusion of an hourglass silhouette was a must for Marilyn, so be sure to accentuate your spectacular waistline with complimentary dress styles and details.

Think thigh high slit and double slit, wrap styles, spaghetti straps, plunging necklines or V wire detail to accentuate your figure and best assets.

Keeping things simple doesn’t deflect from being sexy at all. If you wear these dress styles with confidence and a smile, you will certainly be dressed to impress.

To finish your look you must perfect your beauty regime, add classic make up with a red lip and perfectly done hair to the mix and you are on to a winner - a dose of confidence will certainly follow.

With all this in mind, you will be left feeling like the big screen Queen herself! adding the flair and flavour of the fifties to your 2018 wardrobe needn’t be difficult.
