Long dresses for summer 2022
In the summer, you always want to put on something as short and light as possible, but fashion designers strongly recommend that you abandon this idea for a while and pay attention to the elongated styles of summer dresses. It is models with a floor-length skirt that will be especially relevant in the summer of next year, and this fact should be adopted now.
An elongated dress is not at all a fashionable innovation created by modern designers, because such models were popular even several years ago, not to mention decades. But, nevertheless, fashion designers could not help but show imagination and creative vision when creating new dresses for the summer and did everything to please even the most capricious of the fair sex.
What are the features of elongated models that are currently relevant and why should modern fashionistas choose them to create a summer look?
Peculiarities
The main advantage of a maxi length dress is that it makes the young lady discreetly sexy.This is not a provocative mini, with which it is very easy to overdo it and expose yourself in an unfavorable defiant and vulgar light, but just the style that allows you to emphasize femininity in all its glory.
In addition, a floor-length dress perfectly hides any flaws in the female silhouette, be it crooked legs, an overly rounded belly, ugly hips, or excessive thinness. This style is ideal for both a very young person or a young lady in the prime of life, and for a woman of a very respectable age. The only thing you can not guess with is the cut of the dress, but the tips from this article will help you avoid any problems.
Who will suit
The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing your “own” maxi is the features of the figure:
-
It is better for graceful and petite girls to choose fitted models of dresses with a flowing cut. It should be borne in mind that the pattern and decorative elements should be harmoniously combined in size with growth.
-
Girls with curvaceous shapes should avoid baggy and shapeless models and, contrary to stereotypes, choose a slightly fitted style or a straight-cut model with a flared hem. A wrap dress with a high waist and a belt will fit perfectly, but it is worth remembering that a large pattern visually increases the volume. Dresses with a V-shaped neckline will help emphasize the beauty of a magnificent chest.
-
Light and luminous dresses in the pareo style are ideal for a beach and everyday look, but it is better to choose girls with proportional body parameters.
-
Styles with thin straps or halter dresses are ideal for the summer season, but they are only suitable for young ladies with petite shoulders and beautiful hands.
-
For girls in position, it is better to choose dresses with a trapezoidal cut, as well as styles with a high waist and a wrap.
Do not forget about your own color type. If you are a winter or autumn nature, choose dresses in dark blue, burgundy, black and brown tones, and if spring or summer, then your colors are beige, sand and snow-white.
Beautiful styles and models
This season, designers decided to diversify the range of maxi dresses as much as possible, so next summer girls will have something to show off. The dress-shirt model has gained particular popularity, and this is not strange, because it is so comfortable in cut and is ideal for the summer season.
Tight and straight floor-length dresses are at the peak of popularity, especially if they are made from lightweight fabrics, and they are loved mainly for their amazing ability to visually add height and stretch the silhouette.
Lush dresses and styles in the style of the year are chosen for special occasions, and it is these dresses that are the most memorable and stylish. A-line dresses are popular among people with insufficient volume in the hips, but these are far from all the styles that are in demand among modern women.
Front short back long
Such dresses are presented in modern markets in a huge assortment and they are chosen both for solemn official events and for festivities with the family. Such dresses make the image festive without depriving it of individuality and look great on a sophisticated figure.
Often, such dresses are chosen for graduation, because they give the image of a girl femininity and at the same time solidity. The skirt of such dresses can have different asymmetries.This is either a shortened dress with a train, or a flowing model with a straight-cut skirt that reaches the floor in the back of the dress, or a style with a triangular hem in the back of the model.
With long sleeve
In hot weather, you don’t really want to choose a model with an elongated sleeve, but if you feel a light breeze, such a dress is just what you need. Usually, if a long sleeve is present on a summer dress, it is made from natural fabrics that allow air to pass through perfectly, so they do not get hotter, even if it gets warmer outside.
A model with a three-quarter sleeve can be called universal, because it is such a sleeve that allows you to make the image more concise. In addition, such a sleeve allows you to hide any imperfections in the arms and shoulders. Such models of dresses simply look great if the sleeves are made of light lace or translucent chiffon.
Short-sleeve
But models of dresses in which the sleeves only slightly cover the shoulder are more popular in the summer. Often such dresses simply have fairly wide straps that completely cover the shoulder. Sometimes, short sleeves on dresses can be puffy and complemented by an elastic band that gives them a frill shape. A rather feminine and relaxed look is given by a wing-shaped sleeve, tapering to the armpits. Sleeves in the form of a flashlight and a petal cover not only the shoulder, but also a small part of the arm and always give the image neatness and style.
Casual
The best option for a summer dress for every day is a light sundress. Such models are always distinguished by a simple and uncomplicated cut, and can be either with straps or without.To give originality to the style, designers use decorative elements in the form of massive buckles in the neckline, ruffles on the hem, a multi-layered skirt, original colors or patterns.
Often, sarafans are sewn from translucent fabrics and complemented with lace elements. There are models of sundresses with an asymmetrical skirt, giving the image a slight negligence.
Off Shoulder
Models of dresses with bare shoulders are incredibly popular among young girls, because they make the image extraordinarily seductive. It is these dresses that are most often chosen for special occasions, but there are models with a simpler cut that are used in everyday looks. Such styles can come with sleeves and be complemented by an elastic band, which plays the role of a tightening element on the shoulders.
There may be such dresses with straps, giving the neckline a spectacular V-shaped look. Often such models are complemented by a flounce, which makes the girl feminine and seductive.
With a slit
The style of a long dress with a slit has already been dubbed the "Jolie Effect", and all because the famous actress appeared at the Oscars in just such an outfit. Trying to put her right leg on public display, Angelina was remembered for a long time not only by fans, but also by critics and immediately became an example to follow.
In dresses that exposed slender legs, other stars began to appear in public, including Anna Semenovich, Natasha Poly, Anna Rubik, Freida Pinto, Kristen Stewart and so on. Non-celebrity girls choose such outfits for both formal and everyday wear.
Violet
Hooded
Long dresses with a hood are an echo of the sporty style.Such models are chosen by girls who value comfort and practicality, but at the same time want to look feminine and seductive. Modern designers are actively working to make such dresses universal. They are often chosen for informal parties and emphasize the originality of the young lady. They can be both on shoulder straps or with sleeves, and with bare shoulders.
Length options
Most people call only maxi outfits long dresses, but this is not entirely correct. In fact, only a dress can be called a maxi, the skirt of which reaches to the floor. In other versions of elongated outfits, the hem can reach the ankles. There are also models with a skirt reaching the middle of the lower leg. Often, elongated dresses of a classic style are distinguished just by a midi-length skirt.
Current colors and prints
In the next summer season, designers are predicting a special popularity for prints in African style. Variegated geometric lines and strict curly motifs will be present on most summer models. The striped pattern, which combines shades of white and turquoise, will definitely appeal to lovers of the marine theme.
Delicate floral drawings will be able to choose romantic and feminine natures, and lovers of non-standard images will definitely like bright abstraction. The monophonic lineup will be no less diverse, but it is advised to give preference only to certain colors.
Black
The classic shade is always on trend and perfect for an evening out. But if the dress model is light and made of flowing translucent fabrics, a black outfit can easily fit into a casual style.Psychologists say that strong-willed and passionate people prefer such a shade in clothes, which is probably why girls in black dresses often get the corresponding impression.
Red
The most trendy color of this season will remain popular next year. If you are an imperious, quick-tempered and bold nature, then with a high degree of probability you will choose a dress of just this shade. A red long dress is perfect as an evening dress and will make the look truly unforgettable. For a casual look, you can also choose this color, but it is important that the dress has a minimum number of decorative elements, a simple cut and is sewn from light fabrics.
Blue
Modest lovers of a conservative style often choose noble blue dresses, which makes this shade almost immortal in terms of relevance. Girls who want to diversify the image a little, but categorically do not want to give up the blue tint, can choose a more obtrusive shade of aquamarine sapphire or ultramarine. Light romanticism and dreaminess will help to add dresses of cobalt, azure and blue hues to the image.
Green
Such a shade can advantageously fit into any image, whether it is solemn or everyday, but it always attracts attention. Designers strongly recommend choosing dresses in shades of lime, mint and emerald.
Yellow
The shade of the sun is always relevant in the summer, because it is so warm and cheerful. A yellow dress can be one of the brightest pieces in your wardrobe, so it's best paired with more restrained shades of accessories - brown, burgundy, beige and blue.
Pink
A long dress in pink tones will add romanticism and naivety to your look. It can be the perfect addition to both casual and dressy looks and goes well with almost everything in brown, white, olive, gray turquoise and blue and azure.
Violet
A dress of this shade will help to give your image a slight eccentricity and mystery. If you choose a purple dress, remember that it goes best with things in brown, pale yellow, gray, turquoise and orange.
Fabrics and textures
In summer, things from soft and light fabrics become especially relevant, so dresses should be chosen from viscose, cotton, veil or lace. Dresses with a mesh are now gaining immense popularity, which can be both very frank and restrained due to the play of textures.
Dresses made of too light fabrics may look crumpled, but this should not frighten fashionistas, because materials of just such texture are now the most trendy. From what other materials do designers advise choosing dresses for the summer season?
Chiffon
A chiffon dress is the most popular for a hot period, because it is incredibly light and perfectly breathable. Dresses made of this translucent material look great on girls with any type of figure. For young ladies with magnificent forms, even evening dresses are sewn from such a fabric, which look solemn, but at the same time hide excess weight well. Sundresses made of such material fit well into the beach look and go well with a swimsuit and clogs. For an everyday summer look, a chiffon dress is the most win-win option.
From silk
Silk dresses give a feeling of lightness and weightlessness. They perfectly emphasize the dignity of a sophisticated figure, but even a girl has minor flaws in the silhouette, with the right choice of style, such a fabric allows you to perfectly hide them. Silk dresses are often sewn in bright and juicy colors, which makes the image unforgettable. Previously, only representatives of royal families could afford such dresses, but now any girl can feel like a queen, dressed in noble silks.
Knitted
A knitted dress in summer is also appropriate, but only if the material is really thin and even glows slightly. Since the knitted fabric is practical and does not wrinkle, it can compete even with dresses made of almost weightless chiffon and silk. These dresses are also good because they are perfectly combined with almost all elements of the wardrobe.
With the right cut and size, a jersey dress will show off even the most disproportionate figure.
Selection Tips
A long dress is great because it fits any girl perfectly, but some tips on choosing the right model are still worth listening to:
-
It is better for girls of short stature to avoid catchy overall prints and bright colors so as not to turn into a motley spot. You should also not wear overly voluminous outfits with an abundance of draperies. It is advisable to opt for models with a V-neck in calmer colors.
-
Models with wide straps are better for ladies with curvy shapes, while thin straps and open-shoulder styles are more suitable for petite ones.Pay special attention to models with straps and belts, because they are suitable for absolutely everyone.
-
A model with a cut is better to choose for owners of narrow hips. So you can divert attention from the lack. Models with a deep neckline and long voluminous sleeves are also your option.
-
Owners of lush hips are better off opting for models with a flared skirt and always decorated with ruffles and flounces in the neckline. It is necessary to highlight the waist in this case.
Another important tip that lovers of long dresses should not forget about is that such models are supposed to be worn mainly with shoes with heels or a high platform. What other elements of the wardrobe can complement the image?
What to wear
Long dresses go well with leather jackets and vests, as well as denim models of similar capes of different lengths. You can choose a cape from any other dense material, but you should follow one rule - the lower the girl, the shorter the cape should be and vice versa.
Choosing shoes
The fact that shoes should be mostly high-speed is understandable, but what style of shoes is better to choose for this or that dress? Peep toe shoes with thick heels are perfect for an elongated chiffon dress. Closed stilettos are best combined with evening dresses. You can complement the solemn look with heeled sandals, if they are decorated with rhinestones. If you can’t refuse ballet flats, slippers and sandals, you can wear them too, but the image in this combination will look very simple.
Accessories
Floor-length dresses are ideal for both summer baggy handbags and their classic models, but you should remember one important rule - the more decorative elements on the dress, the less they should be on the bag and vice versa. The same applies to the selection of jewelry. Massive and catchy jewelry will fit under the dress only if it is evening and not overloaded with an abundance of rhinestones, beads and sequins. For an everyday look, you can choose now mega-popular wood jewelry.
Stylish images
To make the image truly stylish, a fringed handbag, matched to match the shoes or the belt on the dress, will help. If you also pick up a leather vest with fringe elements for such a bag, it will be perfect. A stylish chiffon scarf, matched to match the bag or shade of sunglasses, will make your look as harmonious as possible. A cotton wide-brimmed hat, identical in color to the frill of the dress, will add a unique zest to your stylish look. Well, a knitted lace cape, matched to match the dress, will make it as extraordinary as possible.
