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 often associated with these dresses makes them extremely flattering on all shapes and sizes, whether you're looking for something loose and flowing, structured and figure hugging, short or long there will be something to suit everyone. If you decide to go for something loose and billowing you always have the option of adding a fierce metallic belt to add style and power.
The colours that accompany this fashion in many cases are neutral hues which includes cream, white, pale pink and beige, in spite of this modern influences have seen Grecian dresses take form in colours of blue, purple and orange. So if the thought of wearing pale pink puts you off, opt for a richer hue! In terms of your feet, Grecian style dresses look wonderful with shoes or flats, in the event that you're off on holiday then opt for some edgy gladiator sandals, in the event that you're off on a night away then some chunky wedges or heels would look remarkable!
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 searching for Grecian inspired jewellery, choose gold pieces with a worn look or jewellery which includes stones. Gold and bronze jewellery which include leaf design also tie in very well with this look. If you would like an even more edgy feel to your outfit add a sizable large cuff or bangle!
