Off Shoulder Dress Trend 2022

Such dresses are an essential attribute of all feminine styles - romantic, boho, new look, etc. It has been known for a very long time - a similar style was worn everywhere in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially when it came to balls and palace receptions. After its triumphant appearance in the high fashion collections of Christian Dior and Cristobal Balenciaga, the dress temporarily became an attribute exclusively of evening dresses and the red carpet, but this year designers are starting to introduce it into everyday looks.

When choosing a dress of this style, it is necessary to take into account the features of your figure. It is not suitable for girls with broad shoulders, as it visually enlarges this part of the body even more. On the contrary, for owners of narrow shoulders and especially the type of pear figure, such a dress will be a great find. At the same time, for short and full girls, it can do a disservice, creating a “barrel” effect (in this case, it is recommended to choose models with sleeves and a small neckline).

In addition, this dress has another effect - it visually lengthens the neck and draws attention to it. However, in the presence of age-related skin imperfections, this can have a negative effect, so these individual characteristics should be taken into account.

A dress with frills below the shoulder line is one of the most modern models. She is distinguished by sophistication, some playfulness and absolute femininity. The longer the dress, the more clearly associations with the “Turgenev young lady” arise. To enhance this effect, hair laid in large curls will help, which will repeat the bends of the flounces.

This timeless model can be a great choice for a boho look, especially when paired with leather and suede accessories. The sleeveless version of the dress will also allow you to decorate yourself with a lot of bracelets and baubles (excess is only welcome in boho!), And a dress with a cropped skirt will go well with cowboy-style boots.

There are many similar dresses, for example, from the popular Asian brand Artka, in whose stores you can also buy matching shoes and jeans. The latter also go well with a chiffon dress of a similar style, for example, khaki.

Dress models with sleeves look very elegant - especially if the neckline is deep enough. At the same time, choosing a small neckline will allow an aged woman to achieve the desired effect without emphasizing age-related skin imperfections on the neck and chest. Models with long sleeves this season were presented by Dolce & Gabbana, Barbara Casasola and others.

A straight dress is an excellent solution for overweight women, as well as for apple-shaped figures, in which the waist is naturally weakly expressed and the extra weight is deposited there first of all.

Such models create a truly romantic image. It will look good on a date and is able to turn your head. But do not forget to take into account your natural forms and color types - a lace dress in soft pink tones will not make you sophisticated and romantic at all if it contrasts with your “dramatic” appearance and rich natural color. In this case, on the contrary, you risk looking ridiculous. In addition, such a dress can look very frivolous on an aged woman.

A fitted model of a dress with open shoulders is a traditional evening dress. It is quite versatile, however, best suited to Kibby types: theatrical romantic, romantic, soft dramatic and dramatic. It is better for representatives of "natural" types to avoid such models and give preference to more free ones.

A dress with bare shoulders and straps intertwined or tied behind the neck is a very bold model. However, it is rightfully the trend of the season, because such an outfit looks very stylish and modern. But girls with broad shoulders should refrain from such a style - of all the options for a dress with bare shoulders, it most clearly emphasizes the shoulders.

Another non-standard form of such a dress is a model with one open shoulder.It can be a godsend for those whom nature has endowed with broad shoulders and made traditional dress options inaccessible. This season, such a model was among the first in the collections of such brands as Gianfranco Ferre, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Lanvin and others.

A long dress is a classic evening dress, and an off-the-shoulder style will add even more royalty and femininity to your look.

Models of medium length look especially good on representatives of the gamin type and owners of the "rectangle" type figure.

We can say that this length is universal, so it will also be in place for other types. Most importantly, do not forget to pay attention to the details of the cut and strive to ensure that they emphasize your strengths, diverting attention from weaknesses.

A knee-length dress is perfect for everyday wear. In addition, it can be used as a tunic and combined with jeans or trousers with a straight and fitted cut.

With the light hand of designers, black color has long gone beyond mourning dresses, turning into a standard of elegance and style. However, do not forget that for the "spring" and "autumn" color, it, like white, may not be the best solution.But it is worth noting that a cape of a more suitable shade in this case will save the situation, especially since black is easy to combine with any others. For more effect, don't forget to match the shoes with the cape and choose a clutch in the same color, or make the look more remarkable by adding additional shades.

Red is associated with passion and sensuality, so off-the-shoulder models in this color are the choice of very brave women. If you don't want to look too aggressive (especially if the choice fell on a bright red floor-length dress), then don't forget to complement the look with accessories that balance the catchiness of the red color. These may be the trendy shades of this season - riverside, sharkskin, warm taupe, or potter's clay or their analogues.

If you want to look stylish and fashionable, choose a blue dress in muted shades. Girls with swarthy or tanned skin should be especially careful when choosing such a dress - bright blue will give a very strong contrast, and it must be “muffled” with accessories of neutral colors.

The yellow option is one of the most fashionable this season. Remember Belle from Beauty and the Beast? This color will turn you into a real princess and make you the star of any party! Such a yellow dress will look especially advantageous on a girl with swarthy skin or the owner of an “autumn” color.

This season, all fashionable shades tend to "dullness". However, this makes them quite versatile and suitable even for those color types for which cold colors are categorically contraindicated.

Of all the shades of pink this season, soft pink and bright cyclamen are the most popular.When choosing between them, consider what mood your bow should convey. Cyclamen will become a hymn to your bright and creative nature, and the tenderness of the shade of rose petals will emphasize tenderness, sensitivity and youth.

Green is a timeless classic. Its various shades are appropriate always and everywhere (with the exception of a strict dress code, of course). Therefore, you can safely choose the one that suits you, taking into account personal preferences and your color type. Various variations of green with warm and cold undertones are present in the recommendations of absolutely all color types.

Off-the-shoulder dress with bright (especially black and white) stripes - hello from the 1980s! A sheath dress like this, along with pumps and a small handbag, will create an image that will not go unnoticed. It is perfect for a stylized party or as a summer outfit, to which you can also add a wide-brimmed hat and classic black-rimmed sunglasses. Modern versions of glasses are also suitable, but avoid narrow and round ones - they will simply be lost against the background of such a set.

A dress of any style with a lot of lace requires careful selection. It can give femininity and romance to the image, however, it will turn out to be grotesque and “puppet”, if you do not take into account personal characteristics. This dress is not recommended for older women - this way you risk creating the effect of "artificial rejuvenation" that will make you comical

Cotton is a great option for summer and warm countries, as it is a natural material that is perceived by the skin better than many synthetic counterparts.In addition, a cotton dress will be an excellent solution for those who, due to age or personal preferences, cannot afford lace.

Chiffon is a light, translucent fabric that will make your look light and airy. However, if you are the owner of a more restrained or even tough nature, a chiffon cape or shawl will be a great addition to the image, which will best emphasize your individuality.

Tight-fitting models are most often sewn from knitwear, so, as mentioned above, this choice will not be successful for everyone. And this definitely will not be an evening dress - knitwear simply will not give the necessary elegance to your image. But for everyday life, such a dress of medium and mini length will be a good choice, especially since it is quite versatile.

A dress with bare shoulders is the style for which it is very difficult to find suitable jewelry around the neck. But at the same time, it allows you to completely abandon them. Alternatively, you can complete the look with massive earrings, lots of bracelets and a wide-brimmed hat that will not leave your bow feeling empty.

An important addition to the outfit in this case is a cape or shawl made of light fabric. It can become not just a beautiful accessory, harmoniously suited to this style, but also a kind of salvation for owners of broad shoulders.

With this style, long, flowing hair looks great (especially if you are natural, soft natural or flamboyant natural according to the Kibby typology).

A light fabric dress with a wraparound bodice is perhaps the most feminine version of this look. Complete it with pearl or aquamarine jewelry and you will transform into a mermaid. Or complement it with a massive necklace with a floral pattern - and comparisons with a beautiful forest nymph are guaranteed. Both a collected hairstyle with a bright hairpin and loose hair will be appropriate. You can also remove back and stab only part of the hair, revealing the face.

A dress with bare shoulders and an open back at the same time is a great option for an evening dress. However, keep in mind that such an image will look very defiant and it will be unnecessary to choose a dress of too “flashy” color for it. Better complement it with catchy earrings and bracelets with stones.
