There’s a reason they call it a LITTLE black dress. The black mini dress is an iconic wardrobe staple, but it doesn’t stop at just black. As any dress-obsessed gal will tell you, the perfect little number can make you feel your most feminine and beautiful—however, some women may find the short length to be a tad daunting. Luckily, VENUS is all about inspiring confidence! With mini dresses in all different styles and silhouettes, you’re sure to discover the key to feeling your best while baring some serious leg.
When you’re rocking a dress that perfectly fits the occasion, your confidence will shine its brightest. Of course, not every women's mini dress is created equal, and the VENUS collection features a variety of looks for every occasion. A mid-thigh length mini dress can take you to dinner dates and hangouts, while an even shorter style is perfect for girls’ night out or dancing the night away.
Here are just a few examples of how you can tailor this leggy length to fit any vibe:
• Sexy: A bodycon mini dress is an undeniably sexy choice when you’ve got a glamorous evening ahead of you. When you’re in the mood to flaunt what you’ve got, cold shoulder styles, cut outs and plunge necklines were made for showing some skin. Topping off the look with glitzy accessories will take your dress to the next level. Lastly, shapewear and solution intimates are a game changer when it comes to form-fitting and skin-baring styles, so grab one of our many smoothing slips, briefs or convertible bras for a major confidence boost.
• Casual: Solid colors and versatile prints—floral, striped and tie dye to name a few—make great options for a casual mini dress look. Flowy silhouettes, such as the A-Line shape, are universally flattering and add some flirt to your look without going all-out. However, even a bodycon can look casual if the fabric is right, or if you dress it down with a chic jean jacket or sneakers. For a low-key look with high-key style, try a lounge mini dress made with French terry or supersoft Hacci.
• Sophisticated: You’d think the mini dress and modest wouldn’t belong in the same sentence, but think again! You can absolutely make your shorter pieces look professional and polished. Simply reach for a style with a high halter or mock neck to balance out the length, or add tights underneath. An empire waist style will also define your shape while still keeping the sex appeal on the subtle side.
Remember, confidence is key when wearing your new mini dress! And with so many unique options to choose from, VENUS makes it easy to feel great about your shape and style.
It’s The Little Things So now that you have an idea of what kind of mood you’re aiming for, let’s talk details. From bold embellishments to dainty lace, it’s those added touches that bring your look to life.
Embellished mini dresses dare to dazzle, using everything from sequins to rhinestones and studs. You could go for a delicately beaded trim, or shine on in all-over sequins. Some styles even have glitter infused into the threading, giving you a metallic glow or even a lit-from-within effect.
Add some flounce, bounce, and movement to your mini dresses with ruffles, sheer overlays, bell sleeves, and more. A peplum or belted silhouette will define your waist and lend you that coveted curve appeal. Sometimes a dress will come with a belt included, but for ones that don’t, it’s as easy as adding one of our chic statement belts to level-up your outfit.
As for textures, you’ve got major options there too. A velvet mini feels as luxurious to the touch as it looks, while lustrous foil print adds a shimmer effect that’ll put you right under the spotlight. Lacy coverage radiates elegance with a hint of sensuality, while airy linen styles keep you feeling cool and breezy during the warm weather.
While we’re on the topic of seasons, let’s look at fall and winter styles! You can absolutely wear a mini dress when it’s cold out, in fact, we offer a vast collection of mini sweater dresses made especially for those chilly days. A long sleeve mini dress not only keeps you covered but brings sophistication to your look. Lighter knit styles are great for early fall and can peek underneath your favorite jackets and coats when temperatures reach their lowest. Chunky knits can be thrown over a long sleeve top and leggings to keep you feeling extra cozy and looking extra cute.
