Listen, if someone asked me to get up on stage and talk about a topic I’m deeply passionate about, I would choose to spend at least five hours convincing the audience why they need to own a dress for every occasion.
But alas, no one has invited me to do a Ted Talk just yet, so I’ll write about it instead.
The dress is a garment that has evolved through history, however, the premise has always remained the same: A piece of clothing that makes women feel put together and their very best.
Watch: Style Street with Mamamia: Ladies Who Lunch. Post continues below.
From empire-waist dresses in the 18th century, to tea-length gowns in the '50s, women have been wearing dresses for centuries, cementing their status in the fashion hall of fame.
Fast-forward to the present, women are sporting dresses of all lengths, shapes and styles. Corseted maxi dresses and form-fitting minis can be found in the same wardrobe, and with so many styles to choose from, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll find a dress that suits your vibe and lifestyle.
And because I'm extremely enthusiastic about dresses and want you to join me on the bandwagon, I've found the best ones to suit every possible occasion.Take a look at my picks below.
