Fashionable summer dresses 2022-2023: trends and novelties

Summer is the time when not only flowers bloom, but also girls. Like bright buds, they delight the eye, motley through the streets in delicate and light dresses of all colors and styles. Perhaps, beautiful airy outfits are what is in a woman’s wardrobe not only for mood, but also for self-awareness. They give self-confidence, make walking easier and scale femininity.

In our material, we will look at the fashionable styles of summer dresses 2022-2023, talk with an expert and learn how to choose the right product for each type of figure.

Long summer dress 

A long, gentle floor-length sundress is a real must-have for summer. The right cut of such an outfit will adorn any type of figure and give a mood of lightness and freshness – something that is sometimes so lacking on a hot summer day. In a long dress, you can go for a walk or to the beach. And the images in it have always been endowed with a special romanticization and femininity. And, by the way, small flaws of the figure were well masked.

Large summer dresses

There must be a lot of good things! That is why the volume this season is only welcome. Fashionable summer dresses with wide skirts, layering and voluminous sleeves are very relevant today. At the same time, you can choose both soft and flowing fabrics, as well as rather dense, shape-holding materials. The latter, by the way, sometimes combine a mix of a variety of fabrics that create volume according to the principle of patches and their imposition on each other.

White summer dress

This option is always in fashion, but especially in summer. The color of purity, freshness and clean air in your wardrobe is a great solution in the heat. A white summer dress is not boring at all. And if you combine it with an interesting texture or an unusual cut of the product, then simplicity becomes a plus sign. You can go further and play with an accent, which can be absolutely anything: from color to product: bag, hat, lipstick color, massive ring.

Light summer dress

You never want to be as light and airy as in summer. The wind plays with your hair, small waves tickle your toes, and a weightless dress with delicate silk glides along the curve of your back. Let’s leave dense fabrics and hard seams until autumn. It’s time to breathe deeply! A light dress is a cape, a peignoir, and a tunic dress – in general, everything that allows its owner to feel completely without clothes.

Summer dress with sleeves 

If in winter sleeves are something mandatory, then in summer they are aesthetic. Stylish summer dresses give the image aesthetics and zest. Puffy sleeves, long sleeves, textured sleeves, lanterns, mesh – the uniqueness of the image and the mood of your summer in every stroke. When choosing such a dress, we advise you to be careful with fabrics so as not to accidentally mistake a little thing from the off-season for a suitable outfit – it will be unaesthetic, hot and disastrous for the thing.

Short summer dresses

What comes to your mind when you hear the phrase “summer dresses”. Trends are trends, but no one has canceled the classics. Since childhood, we remember: the hotter the weather, the shorter the dress. We bare our legs, sunbathe and, at the same time, choose the appropriate style for our perfect little summer dress. Do not forget that such outfits are not universal and are hardly suitable for wearing, say, to work or a business meeting. Therefore, a short dress should be selected based on their “weekend” lifestyle.

Summer dresses year

Spectacular top and delicate flared hem, similar to a mermaid tail – this is a year dress. The sophistication and elegance of such outfits give their owner a spectacular image and make her appearance at any celebration a highlight. Godet is always about challenge, solemnity and dignity. In this dress, it is simply impossible to stand with bad posture or walk with a heavy gait. It in itself makes its owner correspond to this halo of all the most feminine that only a dress can combine. 

Cotton summer dress

Convenience and comfort are not the last argument that we use when choosing fashionable summer dresses for ourselves. 2022 once again puts natural breathable fabrics on the pedestal, the first of which, of course, is cotton. This eco-friendly material allows you to create products not only of amazing beauty, but also of amazing comfort. But, remember, it is a little capricious in care: follow all the instructions on the label so that the product does not lose its presentation after the first two washes and lasts for a long time.

Evening summer dress

Summer is summer, and the celebrations are on schedule. To shine at any holiday, it is worth choosing models of summer dresses for a special occasion with reference to the season. Not too heavy, not too tight, breathable and comfortable, but solemn and dignified – these are the minimum requirements for summer evening dresses. Subject to all these conditions, in the summer you can afford absolutely any cut and length of the product in order to be a real star at the holiday.

Black summer dress

So we got to the little black dress! And maybe a big one. And long. And short. And flying. And tight … In general, any black, but, of course, summer! It may seem that these are two mutually exclusive concepts: black and summer dresses. Fashion trends, meanwhile, say otherwise. A summer dress can be black and be a harmonious companion of a girl in the heat. It is only important to choose the right material and, perhaps, not to walk in a new thing in the open sun. After all, whatever one may say, the black color attracts its rays.

Chiffon summer dress

Vzhuh … And the dress took off. There is probably no lighter product than a chiffon dress. Delicate translucent material and playful styles fully confirm that we have the most summer dresses in front of us. Photos, design options for chiffon dresses you can see below. Which aerial image inspires you?

Summer midi dress

A midi dress is the golden mean of summer dress models. “To the knee” – that’s his characteristic. Not too long and not too short, not too playful and not too strict, not too formal and not too frivolous, it allows you to skillfully introduce it into the image with any character. Midi are good both on their own and with accessories or additional wardrobe items: scarves, glasses, beads. 

Boho summer dress

And here we are already completely moving away from officialdom and come to eco-culture. Loose, multi-layered and multi-tiered dresses made of natural fabrics with floral and floral patterns and ornaments, a characteristic “torn” edge and a slight “baggy” in the image indicate to us that we have boho dresses in front of us. Add wooden jewelry, wedge shoes or voluminous boots here, and our image is ready.

Knitted summer dress

Knitted trendy summer dresses are a cute discovery of this summer season. 2023 will retain their relevance, so if you have an almost Shakespearean question: “To take or not to take?”, Then the answer is definitely “yes”. Knitted dresses are distinguished by their elasticity and ductility. Often, under tension, they expose underwear, so you should also consider its uniformity and combination with the overall image. Or take the help of the good old bottom dresses.

Summer wrap dress

Wrap dresses are extremely convenient because they are very loyal to the changes that have occurred to your figure over the year. Plus-minutes, one size can float back and forth, and the dress will still sit perfectly on you due to the tension of the belt and the front layer of the dress. In this case, the length does not play a role. So, if you are prone to drastic weight loss and extra kilos, two or three wrap dresses will be a great alternative to changing your entire wardrobe for the summer.

Open summer dress

Of course, when the asphalt melts outside the windows, and the thermometer shows 30 degrees in the shade, all you want is to minimize the amount of fabric per square centimeter of your body as much as possible. Open summer dresses are a great way out. Thin straps, an open back or elegantly dropped sleeves that expose the shoulders will contribute to more active thermoregulation, and, at the same time, will allow the image to compete with the sun in terms of heat.

Knitted summer dress

Knitwear today is perhaps one of the most comfortable materials. I put it on and ran, and you don’t even feel the dress on you – it’s like a second skin. Elastic. Perfectly blown and ventilated. “Breathing” as it is commonly called. Almost does not wrinkle and dries quickly. Pairs well with everyday lifestyle. But not very suitable for a special occasion. A knitted summer dress is a great option for every day, which easily transforms from work to a neutral style.

Summer dress combination

One of the most beloved and, at the same time, controversial models of recent years is the slip dress. Some go crazy with simplicity and restraint. Others are dissatisfied: “I came out in a nightgown.” You can share any of the opinions, but it is impossible not to notice and remain indifferent to a girl in a combination dress. This is a blank canvas that allows you to write anything on yourself: you can build up the image with a tight jacket, studs, large earrings. Or add just one crystal on the neck. In any case, it will be bold and trendy.

Summer dress shirt

A comfortable shirt dress is another modern summer classic. Go to the beach or visit, walk around a new city with a camera or go shopping – everywhere a shirt dress will keep its owner in the right company. Regardless of the length, a priori it cannot look vulgar. On the contrary, some warmth from the image of a girl who put on her beloved’s shirt to jump out of their cozy nest on urgent matters flies around this model like a halo.

Summer dress with polka dots

Peas are good in any season, but especially in summer. It can become an accent spot or, on the contrary, be modestly and discreetly placed against any background. It can be large and pull the whole blanket over itself. Or it can modestly scatter in a small rash throughout the product. It does not fit the axiom “the print is full.” A girl of any build will be able to pick up her product in peas, you just need to correctly capture the size of your circumference. Here the proportion works quite effectively: the size of the pea grows along with the dimensions of the girl. Products with small polka dots are suitable for miniature young ladies. And the larger it is, the more magnificent the forms of its owner.

Floral summer dress

What is summer without flowers, right? Feel free to put them on dresses. We dot the entire product as a whole or decorate the details. And we can even get by with one large flower throughout the product. With small and monotonous prints, the rules of the polka-dot print partly apply. More complex drawings cancel all of the above and are selected based on the appearance and color type of the hostess. Everything plays a role here, because the floral print is quite whimsical. And, at the same time, it is beautiful with its atmosphere, relevance and proximity to summer.

Summer dress with a slit

What can surprise a dress, except for the print? That’s right, cut. An element of non-obvious sensuality and surprise lies in products with a cut. The higher the latter, the hotter and more interesting the game. The more elegant the walk. The more random glances linger on the mistress of the “interesting” dress. Do not assume that a high cut is always vulgar. Often this is just an offer to play and an application for courage and self-love.

How to choose the right summer dress

Helped us answer this question. expert, personal male and female stylist, Olga Giovannis:

“It is important that the dress sits a little loose, flowing over the body. Remember that modern trends have been telling us one thing for many years – there should be air between you and clothes.

In addition, the dress should fit your body type, ideally a length just below the knee – this suits almost everyone.

I always recommend having a pair of neutral wrap-around dresses in a neutral color, or shirt-type dresses with a dense viscose dance. Such models adapt to almost any style and close many of the problems of choosing a kit. You will always have “what to wear” when you once again mesmerize the closet in thought.
