Backless dresses

It would be a mistake to leave your hair down and cover your back, which is precisely the main element when wearing this type of dress.

Therefore, the best thing to do is a hairstyle with the hair tied up: high bun, low bun or braids, are some ideas. Alternatively, if you want to let your hair down, you can style it sideways so it doesn’t cover your entire back.

Asymmetric shoulder dresses

Collar

In order to match a hairstyle with a stand-up collar, it is better to tie your hair up. For example, you could do a high bun. This hairstyle is ideal for very formal occasions, like weddings or gala nights.

This type of dress is highly recommended for girls with small breasts. Its main virtue is that it stylizes the silhouette. Your waist and facial features will stand out thanks to the high collar.

Open neckline

On the other hand, if the neckline of the dress you will be wearing is rather open, whether it is the v-neck or square neckline, you have two options.

• The first is to make a bun on the side, which will allow you to highlight your neck and face in an elegant way, with a certain casual air.
• On the other hand, you can let go of your hair, which will allow you to cover your shoulders if you have a strong body. The good thing about this alternative is that the neckline will not be hidden by your hair. With a few waves, you will look great.
• Something similar happens with the round neckline, which is characterized by a rounded curve from shoulder to shoulder to the chest. For this dress, we recommend an updo if you have a short neck or a low side ponytail.

In order to make a choice among these three options, as well as to choose other suitable hairstyles according to the style of the dress, the role that we want to give to each part of the body is fundamental.

In other words, it will depend on our intentions regarding the face, neck, breasts and shoulders.
