Ahh, summer—the season of weekend BBQs, lazying by the pool, Friday afternoons off, paperless post invitations, and a uniform comprised of easy, breezy dresses. Right now, we have summer outfits on our mind, and whether you’re going to a summer wedding or a casual day at the beach, a chic and easy summer frock will get you through every occasion on your google calendar. So what dress trends are all the cool girls wearing this season?
From minimalist tube dresses to cool crochet, playful prints and halterneck details, below we’re highlighting the styles, silhouettes, and brands, the fashion crowd is loving right now for the warm season ahead. Get ready to live in these dress trends for the remainder of summer.
If your vibe is minimalist-chic, then you’ll love the ’90s tube and column dresses that are dominating right now. Whether you go for strapless or barely there sleek spaghetti straps, “clean girl” silhouettes are having a major moment right now.
In stark contrast to sleek and simple minimalist dresses comes the Y2K aesthetic, where we’re seeing a revival of all things popular from the early to mid 2000s. Dress styles like handkerchief hems and cowl necklines, butterfly details, ruffles, and more are popping up on celebs (Bella Hadid is a fan) and cool girls alike.
Halter silhouettes and delicate halter string details are dominating this summer. They’re unquestionably flattering and add an alluring touch to every summer ensemble.
In my opinion, silky slip dresses never really go out of style, but this season, we’ve been seeing the fashion crowd embracing the luxe piece more than ever—particularly in longer silhouettes. Give the dress a casual spin and pair them with flat sandals and a basket bag or dress them up with heels and statement earrings for a summer evening out.
Crochet and open-knit dresses are winning over the fashion set this summer. Opt for a subtle take on the trend and go for a black or neutral color palette.
Blame it on shows such as Bridgerton and The Gilded Age, but the princesscore aesthetic is booming this summer, and out of it has sprung the rise of corset dresses. Expect plenty of compliments in this flattering silhouette.
It’s not summer without an effortless, breezy white dress. Whether you go for linen or lace, a dreamy white dress is the perfect warm-weather piece and a staple in every fashion girl’s wardrobe.
