Accessorising a Tea Dress With spring being just around the corner comes a tea dress. It’s the perfect piece to invest in because it’s fun, always on-trend and suits most shapes. Generally, tea dresses have mid to long sleeves and are fairly loose-fitting, that’s why they are quite forgiving on the figure. The joy of this dress lies in its versatility, too. For example, if you wear it at home with flats, you’ll get a garden-ready look that would be both effortlessly feminine and practical. Alternatively, if you team it with hiking boots, you’ll be ready to take on the world. So, whether you're headed to a neighbourhood party, beach or brunch, a tea dress is sure to garner all the compliments. And below, you’ll find some ideas on how to wear a tea dress to look different. With so many prints and patterns on a multicoloured tea dress, it may be a bit difficult to find a good match for the accessories and shoes. The most important advice here is to stick to one or some of the colours that your dress already has. For example, if you’re rocking a floral tea dress and red is one of the main colours on it, it’s a safe choice to pair it with red shoes. Depending on the look you’d like to achieve, you can wear flats or heels. Then, keep your accessories to a minimum - a statement necklace or a similar-coloured watch is all you need to complete the outfit in an elegant way. The second safest choice is to wear neutral shoes in black, white, or nude/beige with your dress. Particularly we prefer lighter colours to darker ones as they are more summery (so as a tea dress). Plus, if you choose cream, tan, or nude shoes that will blend with your skin tone, your legs will look longer and leaner. If you’d like to get more daring, you can try a colour blocking method, i.e, take colours that are opposites on the colour wheel and pair them together to make an interesting, complementary combination. You can choose heeled or flat colour-blocking sandals; the key is to stick to the colour palette of your dress and, again, keep accessories simple. Pair your bag with one of the colours on your dress or sandals and choose neat jewellery. That will be enough.
