Grecian style dressing has been around for hundreds of years (quite literally), and with Alexander McQueen featuring strongly inspired Grecian style clothing in his Spring/Summer 2012 ready to wear collection, it looks like the craze is here to stay!
The flowing, fluid lines of the dresses combined with the edgier, more barbarous elements of the trend such as the gladiator sandals make this look modern, wearable and captivating. Through out the years Grecian style dresses have sauntered their way onto the red carpets on the shoulders of many A-listers including Mischa Barton, Kate Winslet and most recently the Duchess of Cambridge.
So how to wear these Grecian dresses I hear you ask. Do not fear! The draping frequently associated with these types of dresses makes them significantly complementary on all shapes and forms, whether you're looking for something loose and flowing, structured and figure hugging, short or lengthy there will be something to suit every person. If you opt to go for something loose and billowing you also have the option of adding a fierce metallic belt to add kind and power.
The colours that come with this trend in many cases are basic hues including cream, white, pale pink and beige, however contemporary influences have seen Grecian dresses take style in hues of blue, purple and orange. Therefore if the thought of wearing pale pink puts you off, opt for a richer shade! Regarding your feet, Grecian style dresses look fantastic with shoes or flats, in the event that you're off on vacation then choose some edgy gladiator sandals, if you're off on a night away then some chunky wedges or heels would probably look amazing!
In the event you don't wish to go 'all out' there are also tons of different ways to incorporate this fashion into your beauty and fashion routine as well as; jewellery, hair pieces and hair styles and shoes. Braiding your hair is very seriously on trend these days and this pays homage to the Grecian ideal. Another alternative could be to wear a jewelled head band, this provides a touch of glam to any outfit and could be ideal for a festival to keep the hair out of your face!
When looking for Grecian inspired jewellery, opt for gold pieces with a worn look or jewellery that includes stones. Gold and bronze jewellery that include leaf decoration also tie in nicely with this look. If you want a more edgy feel to your outfit add a large chunky cuff or bangle!
