Geri Halliwell-Horner's white Wimbledon dress proves illusion styles are one of the most flattering you can wear
At first glance, Geri's white dress looks like a tailored waistcoat and pleated skirt
Geri Halliwell-Horner once again embraced her love of all-white styling from the stands at Wimbledon yesterday, wearing one of the best summer dresses that cleverly gave the illusion of tailored separates.
This time of year, you might be seeking inspiration for summer events without the fuss of coordinating colours, and Geri's block coloured outfit might sell you on Wimbledon whites. Not only this, but her illusion dress is a surprisingly flattering choice.
At first, Geri's dress looks as though she's paired a structured waistcoat over a pleated white skirt; however, she's actually wearing the waistcoat dress by Tolu Coker. Geri carried a canvas tote bag and finished the look with dark oval sunglasses and a classic pearl necklace.
This sleeveless dress has a button-down waistcoat bodice and a long pleated skirt. The waistcoat top will add structure to your figure, whilst the floaty skirt feels so elegant.
You can't get any more sophisticated than a pearl necklace. This choker style offers a contemporary take on a classic design with its subtle gold beads that offset the shiny freshwater pearls.
This tote combines a bag made from resilient canvas and features brown leather detailing for an elevated finish. Its roomy silhouette makes it perfect for everyday use, from busy commutes to weekend outings.
In warm ivory shade, this dress is an elegant and flattering choice. It features a structured waistcoat bodice that is contrasted with its feminine floaty skirt.
This dress features a structured, fitted body with a waist-cinching belt and a floaty skirt. If you're looking for a summer occasion dress, this is a great find.
Finlay is home to some of the best sunglasses, including this vintage-inspired pair. The slim cat-eye shape is so glamorous. They also feature practical UV protection.
Dresses that give the illusion of a top and skirt are usually some of the most stylish dresses to hide a tummy, thanks to their clever designs. The distinct top half breaks up your silhouette and creates two sections, drawing attention to your waist and skimming your figure.
You could easily recreate this look with a waistcoat and a pleated skirt. Although a waistcoat might not be the first thing that comes to mind when dressing up (your best summer dresses might take priority), paired with a skirt, they can be so stylish. This combination is also a warm-weather alternative to your best trouser suits, too.
There's a vintage charm associated with wearing a waistcoat, and although they are traditionally worn as part of three-piece suits, they can be worn on their own, too. Try styling one with a floaty skirt or lightweight linen trousers for a breezy weekend outfit.
From the tournament stands, we can't see what type of shoes Geri chose to wear; however, we'd reccomend styling this all-white look with wedge heel espadrilles like these ones from Office.
