Check those thermometers! The weather is warming up, which means summer is on the horizon. This is the perfect time to get your mind on the subject of summer dresses and which to add to your wardrobe this season.
As is the norm in summer, Australian women will be embracing shorter dresses in cool and comfortable fabrics—anything that’ll stop us feeling hot and sweaty! But style is important too, so let’s have a look at which particular dress styles are set to be trending this summer. This season’s top styles mix romantic elements with down-to-earth practicality. There’s also an ever-growing focus on sustainability, with women seeking summer dresses made using plant-derived fabrics.
Let’s take a peek at the summer dress styles predicted to dominate the fashion scene this hot season.
White Dresses
There’s nothing groundbreaking about a white dress, but the simplicity the white dress brings is predicted to be a drawcard this coming summer. White dresses look great in the summer light, and offer a fresh, crisp look (as long as you can manage not to spill your coffee on them). This time round, you’re likely to see white dresses embellished with broderie anglaise or lace, sometimes, in a contrasting colour. These intricate textures bring a feminine and vintage vibe to a white dress.
White dresses are ideal frocks for picnics, brunches and visits to the coast. In terms of accessorising, they work well with neutral accessories, like tan sandals, woven handbags and minimal jewellery. Essentially, the dress should be the focal point.
Black and White Dresses
Black and white dresses are set to be all the rage this summer, giving wearers a modern and chic appearance. Whether it be a mainly white dress with black embellishments, or a black and white all-over print, this monochrome trend makes dressing up easy, as your dress will do all the work—you just have to wear it.
Black and white dresses look perfect in a range of day gatherings, and also striking at night. In terms of accessories, it’s a good idea to stick with monochrome shoes (black, white or tan), and a neutral colour handbag. Add some metallic statement jewellery with these dresses, if jewellery is your jam.
