Neutrals and bodycon dresses are a match made in heaven. Made popular by Kim Kardashian, bodycon dresses have gained the status of a wardrobe staple. If you aim to look glam, accentuate your curves, or make your beau fall in love with you all over again, a bodycon dress will do the trick. Even better if it’s in a neutral color. Because that gives you a nice canvas to build your look on. Add contrasting accessories and you’ll instantly feel like a diva. A ribbed knit midi dress is easy to style and can be the focus piece or accessorized around.

That’s exactly how this ribbed-knit midi bodycon dress made me feel. I got this sleek midi dress in nude color and I have to say it’s the perfect dress for warm summer evenings. Before you argue that ribbed knit is not a fabric you would want to wear in summer, let me clear that out first.    

Ribbed knit is made out of cotton and ribbing is the horizontal or vertical pattern that the cotton is knitted in. It actually has a really soft texture and excellent breathability. Plus, this midi dress is a light-knit piece and feels perfectly comfy in the warmer weather. It’s also a racerback dress so the design allows you to stay cool. I also felt that this shade of nude really complemented my complexion. Brought out my eyes and made me look radiant. 

For the shoes, I went with Just Nothing transparent heels by Christian Louboutin. Transparent heels, as you know, have been making it big on the fashion scene for the past few seasons. Why? They are super easy to style and go with almost any outfit. These modern-day versions of Cinderella’s glass slippers let you show off your fresh pedi while assuming an understated profile.  

Christian Louboutin’s Just Nothing transparent heels reflect a minimalist style but still look sleek and sophisticated with their white soles, signature red bottom, and 85mm heels. The two transparent straps keep your foot comfy and offer a firmness in your stride.

Now this turned out to be the look I am proud of. It’s the perfect summer day look that’s both sophisticated and sizzling. The sleek silhouette of the ribbed knit midi dress made me look taller and (not to exaggerate) runway-ready. 

For the bag, I wouldn’t have gone for anything other than the Chanel 19 flap bag in beige. The diamond-quilted lambskin leather is just exquisite and the beautiful Chanel CC monogram on the flap adds to its beauty. Its gold chain handle and the leather-threaded gradient gold to ruthenium chain shoulder strap offered the perfect amount of bling to this neutral outfit.
