Women’s Empire Waist Dresses for Every Occasion

There are certain styles that look great on anyone, and an empire waist dress is one of them. Empire dresses typically consist of a fitted bodice with a long, loose-fitting skirt. This style is a popular choice for formal occasions and weddings because they provide a unique yet comfortable fit. You’ll find that this chic design is a great option for shorter women because the raised waistline can create the appearance of added height. It’s also a highly recommended style for women with a wide lower body since it draws the eye to the narrow upper body and can make the bust appear curvier.

Not sure if this style is for you? Read on to learn more about this elegant garment.

Casual Empire Waist Dresses

Create a fun, trendy and eye-catching look with casual empire waist dresses. Perfect for your everyday wardrobe, casual dresses make it easy to transition from running errands in the afternoon to drinks with the girls at night. You’ll enjoy the flowing nature of this dress on those especially warm days while you remain cool under the soft fabric. Although this style can be worn on casual days, it maintains a high level of modesty to also fit formal occasions.

Career Dresses

There’s no such thing as having too many dresses in your closet. So, when you’re ready to step up your dress game for the office, opt for a sophisticated empire waist dress. Be sure to complete your professional attire with accessories such as belts and scarves, as well as women’s jewelry to help create a robust outfit. Not only are accessories great for adding details that transform an ensemble, but they offer an additional opportunity to express yourself.

Maternity Empire Waist Dresses

For many women, maternity clothes aren’t needed for the first two trimesters. It typically isn’t until that third trimester that many women feel they can’t hold off any longer and need to make the transition to maternity clothes. Maternity dresses are particularly popular because they are comfortable and easy to put on and take off. In addition to the size of empire dresses, you likely want to show off your bump and go with a dress that conforms to your shape. Kohl’s offers maternity dresses that work to beautifully accentuate your bump.

Wedding Guest Dresses

Want to make a statement without overshadowing the bride? If you're wondering "What dress will I wear to this wedding?" Kohl's has got you covered. Finding the right dress to wear to a wedding doesn’t have to be tricky. You can begin by looking at the dress code for the level of formality. You can also find your ideal style based on when the ceremony will take place. For example, daytime weddings are less formal, which means that you can wear short dresses. However, if the wedding is formal, opt for a full-length gown with sleeveless designs or embellishments.

Consider Shoes & Accessories

Now that you’ve picked the perfect dress, it’s time for the best part! Shoes help tie your outfit together and complete your fashion ensemble. But with so many shoe styles available, it can be hard narrowing down your options to find the best match for your dress. In general, heels or wedges make any dress look more formal. While wedges are typically more of a spring and summer trend, they’re still a comfortable alternative to heels. Are you going for a casual look? Consider wearing women's casual sandals or fashion sneakers for a more sporty look when you run errands or meet up with friends. And when it comes time for the autumn and winter seasons, take your look to a whole new level with a pair of black or brown boots.
