The sundress is the oldest clothing. Many researchers believe that the origins of this clothing go back to Ancient Egypt. And indeed, on the Egyptian women "kalaziris" - the so-called clothes on the straps, is very similar to a sundress. Others, the origin of the word "sarafan", refer to the Iranian word "sarapa" or "sarapay", which meant "from head to toe" or "honorable clothing".



The term "sundress" in Russia first appeared in the Nikon Chronicle.


Be that as it may, a sundress is a sleeveless garment with armholes for the arms, that is, a sleeveless dress, or a high skirt with straps. And as he was loved in Russia, so this should be discussed separately, but another time ...

In the new season, designers decided to pay much more attention to it than in previous seasons, so you can see a dress-sundress in many collections.

Choosing a fashionable sundress for the office for 2019, we will take into account the style trends of such clothes. And here the decisive factor is the combination of style, texture and color of the material. In most cases, office sundresses in 2019 will be presented in a discreet range of gray, brown and black tones. Bright sundresses of 2019 will not be suitable for the office, for example, the stylish color of Marsala will go a long way into the past, giving way to the classics of wet asphalt combined with a goose foot of a small cage.

See what a fashionable sundress for the office can be in the photo, where all the current styles and popular models are demonstrated:


Classic styles of business models (with photo)

Business sundresses for the office do not have to have a straight cut. Although, of course, it is one of the most common, since it creates the conditions for the formation of a huge number of different variations. Straight cut sundresses for the office were demonstrated by the Prada fashion house in the autumn-winter collection of business clothes for the modern woman. There are no special frills here. The entire assortment line is made of fine suit wool and is designed for the fall-winter season. For summer and spring, it is proposed to sew a similar style on the basis of thin linen, chintz, blended suit fabric, chiffon and natural silk.

A classic office sundress can have a fitted cut - in this case, the beauty of the female figure is emphasized. Such models are offered by Alberta Ferretti designers. Preference is given to lightweight, well-draped fabrics. Thin jersey remains the leader. Although some fashion designers offer fitted, well-fitting models, to be made using the technique of hand knitting. Volumetric braids and other geometric and textured patterns will create a clear silhouette and emphasize the slimness of the figure.

In 2019, asymmetrical models of business sundresses for the office come into fashion, and not only the hem edges, but also the sleeves, the collar line, the bodice trim, etc. can be uneven. Models with a strap on only one shoulder look original. Naturally, such a sundress should be combined only with a top or a blouse that tightly hides the line of the shoulders.


The tatyanka skirt is returning, and with it the demand for lush office sundresses with a multi-wedge flared skirt will increase. Such a cut should be combined with sufficient length. Here stylists are advised to give preference to models significantly below the knee. Otherwise, the effect of the corps de ballet will develop. A clear waistline in this style can be accentuated by a wide belt to match the sundress.

Another style of office sundress popular at all times for a business woman is the A-shaped cut. It allows you to effectively balance the figure and, due to the straight skirt, allows you to wear models with a length to the middle of the knee. It goes well with all types of blouses, shirts, tops, turtlenecks and thin cashmere turtlenecks.

Look at the popular styles of sundresses for the office in the photo, which illustrates a variety of models for young girls and older women:


How to choose a strict sundress for a blouse?

Every modern girl is occupied with the question of how to choose the right styles of office sundresses. There is no consensus among stylists. But they all recommend assembling not individual parts, but a special wardrobe capsule. An office strict set of clothes for a girl should include:

  1. sundress for spring-summer (usually made of light fabric);
  2. sundress for autumn-winter (from warm material);
  3. two classic skirts in dark colors;
  4. classic cut trousers (you can have a pinstripe or ribbed);
  5. jacket, jacket or blazer;
  6. blouses, shirts and turtlenecks in such quantity that you can prepare a fresh shift for every working day.

Choosing an office sundress for a blouse with the right approach will be very simple. Initially, you need to decide on the acceptable color palette. It can be based on a culture of corporate dress code colors. If it is free, then you need to focus on those shades that are right for you. And then purchase all the indicated wardrobe items in strict accordance with the chosen palette. Your business wardrobe capsule should be free of yellow shirts and red shirts if everything else is in a different color palette.


Stylish length - how to choose the right one?

A stylish sundress for the office is the right color, an exquisite classic cut and an optimal length for the style. How to choose all this correctly? Let's listen to the advice of modern stylists.

In 2019, a real style revolution will take place in office fashion. Length "to the floor" will be fashionable. And this trend will affect not only dresses, skirts and trousers. Women's sundress for the office is also transformed and will completely hide the entire length of the lovely legs. And here it is worth paying attention to the first advice of stylists. In no case should you fall for the bait of your desire to narrow the bottom and decorate it with several deep cuts. In 2019, in office business fashion, this will be bad manners. See what sophisticated business bows will be in demand and popular.

The most correct decision when choosing a business sundress in an office style with a floor-length will be the choice of a wide loose skirt with a fitted bodice. A thin turtleneck or a fitted, sophisticated silk blouse in a contrasting shade will work here.

However, the traditional length to the middle of the knee does not leave us anywhere. Therefore, you can safely get your favorite things and combine them with new items among blouses and shirts. It is also important to pay attention to the cut here. The style is appropriate in the form of a "pencil skirt", straight and classic.

But for the flared and multi-link skirts that are coming into fashion, it is worth choosing a variant of the doina essentially Nija knee. Here, it is permissible to use both maxi and a length that reaches the middle of the lower leg. This style will look especially exquisite in combination with patent ankle boots with a wide bootleg.


Fashionable colors: gray, black or ultraviolet?

The choice of color in some cases directly depends on the shades allowed by the dress code. Some companies have defined so-called corporate colors. Fashionable color schemes in this case will not be relevant, since it will be very difficult to use them. Perhaps in the form of accessories or scarves.

A win-win option is a black sundress for the office, as it will always remain at the height of fashion. It can be easily combined with blouses, shirts and tops in a wide variety of shades. No matter how unusual it sounds, such a model can be combined in a unique way with both a snow-white blouse and a blue shirt made of thin denim.


The gray palette of office sundresses in a business style is the leading one in the shown seasonal collections of world design houses in Europe. There are a lot of options for shades and their combinations with various prints. A win-win option is a gray business sundress in a small white cage in the form of a goose foot. This print is considered traditional for models of women's clothing from the Chanel fashion house. In 2019, it is also present in other, no less famous fashion designers.

Burberry cage style will be inherent in all models in chocolate and brick red palettes. And the traditional Scottish plaid will be used in a combination of green and blue shades. Retro colors like blue and green will, in principle, be in demand. But it is worth remembering that in order to form a full-fledged vintage bow, they must be combined with orange, brick, red red and yellow shades.

Look at the photo of the original design solutions in the field of business women's clothing for 2019:


Warm styles for the office of the fall-winter season (with photo)

A winter sundress for the office should be warm and comfortable enough. Especially if the outerwear does not provide a sufficient protection against cold air. The most fashionable office sundress for the fall-winter 2019 season is a model made of thick tweed with a classic cut of the top of the product and a flared wide skirt with a floor length. This type of business clothing is exquisitely combined with short fur coats, sheepskin coats to mid-thigh, etc. On your feet, you can advise to choose exquisite ankle boots or, on the contrary, boots with a maximum shaft length. In the first case, you will get chic and shine, in the second - provide reliable protection from the cold for your legs.

A fashionable warm office sundress for the winter season can be sewn from light wool with a cage print. The cage can be either very small or quite large, in the "tartan" style. A novelty of the season will be a halter strap and its decoration with metal fittings (buckles, rivets, lacing holes, etc.). Pay attention to the neckline, designed for a high-neck swimsuit.

Thin suit wool allows you to sew quite romantic office sundresses with a high waistline, different types of asymmetric draperies, uneven hem edges and handmade lace inserts. These warm dresses are successfully combined with thin turtlenecks in a contrasting shade. But here it is worth remembering about the fashion trend in the current season. And she recommends all fashionistas to adhere to monochrome in the formation of everyday bow. In practice, it looks like this: all things in the image refer to the same color, but differ in shades by 2-5 tones.

Among the novelties of fashion can be called a model with a large neckline in the form of a rectangle or a pocket. This type of dress is decorated with large square patch pockets and wide straps. Outwardly, it resembles a work apron.

Among the decoration, pay attention to the edging of the hem, shoulder straps and neckline with thin strips of leather in the same color as the dress itself. In principle, business sundresses made of leather and suede are acceptable, but only if they have the simplest, straight or A-shaped cut.

Another fashionable trend is office sundresses made of quilted fabric. They look very unusual. It should be understood that under certain conditions they may not be entirely comfortable to wear. You will be simply hot in them.

Well, another trend that is worthy of attention is hand knitting. This fully hand-knitted woolen sundress in an office business style is the most popular fall-winter 2019 piece from the modern girl's wardrobe capsule.

Look at the winter sundresses for the office in the photo, which illustrates all the trends and style trends described above:

Office sundresses for spring-summer 2019 are a real extravaganza of colors and options for the materials used. Ethno motifs, patchwork effect, floral prints, flowing bright fabrics, embroidery and quilting - this is not a complete list of those techniques and recommendations for choosing that will allow every business woman to express her individuality when shaping her everyday look.

Office sundresses for summer 2019 are not just a fitted dress with straps, which does not have to be combined with various types of crop tops and T-shirts. Not at all. This is an option for an independent outfit for everyday life. And it is uniquely combined not with strict stiletto heels in the form of boats, but with gladiator-style sandals, ballet flats or sandals with low heels.

The pockmarked material will be especially relevant, as will the plaid, floral print and geometric patterns (ovals, circles, polka dots, etc.). Solid types of dense chiffon, satin, linen, chintz and satin are good options for a summer business bow.

Among the fabrics, you can even choose chiffon, provided that it is multi-layered or of sufficient density. A dress with straps made of natural silk will look exquisite. When choosing a model made of linen or chintz, give preference to elongated skirt options.

In the spring, you can recommend a selection of denim sundresses. Denim products can be either formal3 or romantic. They are elegantly complemented by a leather biker jacket or a padded denim jacket. They can also be combined with a variety of shoes, sandals and moccasins.

The following are models of office sundresses in the photo, where mainly summer and spring options for such clothes are displayed:


Fashionable outfits for a chubby business woman

Office sundresses for business women with the so-called corpulent (full) figure are a real "magic wand". The outfits allow you to effectively hide all the significant flaws in the figure, while emphasizing the undoubted advantages. For a full business woman, you should choose a style with straight classic cut without asymmetrical details. Fitted models should have a skirt length to mid-calf or "to the floor".

Fashionable women's office sundresses in a cage, and peas are contraindicated here. But a wide strip of a particularly stripe type, on the contrary, will allow you to visually stretch the figure and make its perception more slender.

From fabrics it is worth choosing tweed, dense suit materials that keep their shape well. For spring and summer, you can choose office sundresses made of denim. But here it is important to correctly define "your" shade. We strongly advise corpulent ladies to choose blue and black denim colors. But rich purple or classic blue will be the most successful solutions.

In hot weather, you want to put on something weightless and light. And what could be better than a free, airy summer sundress? The sundress is the undisputed favorite of summer fashion, which perfectly emphasizes the femininity and beauty of the figure.

This type of clothing, traditional for Russia, does not lose its relevance today. After all sundress is a versatile, light and comfortable dress with straps, which is ideal for hot summers. It is worn by women of all ages, in all situations. It is perfect for leisure, summer parties, and even work. Therefore, we can safely say that a sundress must be in the wardrobe of every girl, girl and woman.

Today, designers offer us a lot of different models of sundresses for every taste. They differ in style, length, silhouette, color and detail.

Long sundress models

For many years in a row, at the peak of popularity, long sundresses "to the floor" with thin straps. Long models of sundresses made of light materials fluttering in the wind look very romantic and aristocratic. Do not worry that they hide your legs, because such a length makes men's hearts beat even harder, as it gives the image a mystery. Floor length is always intriguing, it looks feminine and sophisticated, and most importantly, it is suitable for relaxation, work, and evening outings.

Short models of sundresses

Short sundresses this summer are in no way inferior to long ones. The mini length allows you to show others slender, tanned legs and is ideal for hot weather. A short sundress will be appropriate on the beach, in the city, and in a nightclub. At the same time, the length of sundresses can be either ultra-short or drop just below the knee.

Sundress styles

Today, both straight models of sundresses and lush ones are popular. Slightly flared models, as well as sundresses with a bell skirt perfectly hide plump hips. V-neck sundresses with thick or thin straps will help to emphasize beautiful breasts. The waistline can be classic, in this case it is better to emphasize it with a strap, or it can be overstated. High-waisted sundresses also perfectly emphasize the chest and hide figure flaws.

Evening models of sundresses

For public appearances, there is nothing better than elegant long sundresses with thin spaghetti straps or models just below the knee. They are made of beautiful, luxurious fabrics - silk, satin, lace. Embroidery, shiny details, fringe - all this gives them a special gloss and chic.

Casual models of sundresses

Casual sundresses are distinguished by their simplicity of cut and materials. They are made from cotton, linen, chiffon and synthetic materials. These can be sports models with pockets, buttons and zippers, which are great for outdoor activities, or classic sundresses in bright colors with straps, as well as strapless beach models with an elastic band.

In any case, whichever model of a sundress you choose, give preference to bright, juicy, summer shades, floral and geometric prints, ethnic ornaments and light, airy materials.

Office sundress models:

  • sundress with long straps. This model has a long skirt with a high waist and straps extending from it.

How to choose the right stylish sundress for office work?

Choosing a model for the office, you need to focus on the severity of the product and its colors, because according to the dress code rules, it is forbidden to wear short, tight and bright clothes in organizations.

For the office, you need to choose business sundresses, made of a monochromatic material in a classic style. Of course, bright models are allowed, but this does not mean that you can choose unusual styles made in bright colors and decorated with many decorative elements.

For the office, it is best to buy sundresses in black, white, beige, blue or gray.

You can also pay attention to the models in pastel shades. So, you can choose an original combination, for example, you can bring to life the following ensemble: a black sundress and a blouse with stylish decor elements made of flowing fabric, but the sundress should have a straight cut.

You need to choose such clothes from the office from a dense and opaque fabric.

Also, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the length of the business sundress, in other words, for the office you need to choose models just above or below the knee. Models "maxi" and "mini", which are so fond of women, are not acceptable for the office.

What to wear with an office sundress: accessories and shoes

It is not difficult to choose a stylish office sundress that will emphasize the dignity of the figure, it is much more difficult to choose accessories and shoes.

For a summer office sundress made of chintz or cotton fabric, it is best to choose sandals with thick heels or ballet flats, which will give your feet convenience and comfort while walking.

In addition, such a sundress remains warm, but does not overload the figure at all, unlike voluminous dresses and bulky knitted cardigans.

Material selection criteria

Women with a curvy figure need to choose clothes that are as rational as possible. For example, large flower buds are a completely inappropriate print, but vertical stripes visually slim. But the main thing is not the color or pattern on the fabric, but the material from which the clothes will be sewn. The only prohibition is bouclé fabrics that can add volume to the figure.

But a good choice for winter and demi-season will be:

  1. thick denim;
  2. wool;
  3. jersey;

You can choose a model with a belt strap, so that your waist will be unobtrusively emphasized.
