Sometimes a business image cannot do without some pretentiousness. If, of course, the dress code allows it. Therefore, fashion designers have released a line of business dresses with asymmetrical cut details. This could be asymmetry of contrasting inserts along the hemline, seam or decor, as well as a disproportionate cut line or a one-shoulder dress. The latter style can also be very appropriate at corporate parties. In contrast to the previous trend, loose-fitting business dresses took a certain place in the collections. Distinctive features of the style are a restrained color scheme, midi or maxi length, and a minimum of finishing.
Voluminous sleeves
Small decorative details have long faded into the background - their roles are occupied by unusual structural elements. Business style, no matter how freely it is interpreted in our time, implies rigor and conciseness, and, even in view of the democratic nature of fashion trends, this is still worth attaching importance to. A simple sheath dress takes on a completely different look when you add a little volume at the shoulders. The real star of the runway was the cut of the sleeve with the whimsical name “ham sleeve”, which gradually tapers from the shoulder to the wrist. If the rules require something more modest or it is necessary to visually correct the wide shoulder line, then a similar effect can be achieved by choosing an ordinary raglan.
