Confidence and even self-confidence have become the motto of summer 2016. You can enjoy new silhouettes and original details, be discreet or feminine, playful and desirable, or you can wear several unfinished items of clothing at once or a fairly worn one, and become a grunge princess... In fashion 2016 freedom of styles and images reigns.
Dresses spring-summer 2016 and fashion trends season
This season, one of the most powerful trends is nudity and with it, . Contrasting combinations of colors and textures, a mixture of prints and fabrics, vintage charm, frills, ruffles, folds, lace - all this remains on the catwalk, and therefore in our wardrobes.
Asymmetry and mixing of styles allow you to wear everything, and how you feel comfortable. Flying trains, multi-layered various options when one thing doesn’t go well with the other, bare shoulders and more... Designers convince us that this is a must-have. Each of them strives to surprise the audience in any way, because designers are more afraid of the public’s indifference than their indignation. But if you strive for beauty and elegance, then look at the models that Militta has chosen for you.
Fashionable dresses 2016 - models and cuts
The cut is dominated by open shoulders, deep necklines, flowing and flying fabrics with numerous cuts that demonstrate the beauty and attractiveness of the female body. The eternally young and cheerful A-line silhouette is repeated from season to season. Many cutting trends from last season have been preserved: cutouts on the shoulders, one-shoulder, one-sleeve models, Lolita dresses, wing sleeves, tulip dresses, dresses in antique style.

As for the silhouettes that designers prefer, this question is not easy to answer. Asymmetry and layering in the cut create those features when different silhouettes are combined with each other, for example, a straight silhouette with full skirt, and fitted - with an asymmetrical train or torn hem. Chiffon trains flutter with every step, and at the same time expose their owner.

Marni, Roberto Cavalli
Elie Saab, Georgia Hardinge
Double skirts and dresses over skirts or skirts over trousers, or bloomers - all this rustles, flows, sparkles, creating pomp and volume. This is not the first time that layering has been used in cutting, but this time the issue is being resolved radically. Layers of fabrics shift, float on top of each other, forming trains and “tails”.
The hem can fall to the floor on one side, and rise to ultra-mini on the other. Unusual combinations of length, proportions and textures of fabrics are contrasted. Somewhere geometry reigns, and somewhere there is complete chaos. Shimmering and sparkling transparent fabrics either float in the air or are layered one above the other, creating opulence.
Mini, midi, maxi - they all easily fit into one look and in our wardrobe, just skillfully combine them with other accessories.

The lingerie style with a half-covered body is combined with the demonstration of those toiletries that were previously under the dress, now they are on the dress. Have you forgotten the full petticoats that were fashionable more than 50 years ago? If you didn’t know about this, then it’s time to get acquainted - fluffy petticoats with frills and bows are no longer petticoats...

But there are designers who have no reason to shock the public or resort to excessive luxury, and among them are Armani and Carolina Herrera. Ease and perfection, elegance and quality are the main features of these collections. After all, elegance is eternal beauty.

Spring-summer 2016 dresses and fashionable fabrics
The most stylish and fashionable option of the season are mesh, dresses made of lace and transparent fabrics. In the 2016 season, you can enjoy the finest and densest laces, transparent fabrics in combination with jewelry and accessories. One of the main materials of the new season is mesh. The mesh is light and ultra-luxurious, large and small, printed and plain, with embroidery and sequins, knitted from jersey and laser - there is a choice for every taste.

The flexible and lightweight materials from which Herve Leger and Balmain create their luxurious outfits are worthy of special admiration.

For the summer of 2016, you can choose dresses made from thin shirt fabric or “crumpled” fabrics from the 90s. Leather canvases easily fall on fragile figures unencumbered by linen in the Anthony Vaccarello collection.

Decor of dresses spring-summer 2016
Flowers, ruffles, frills, folds and a bright palette will serve as good decor for A-line dresses. Many A-silhouettes are made in folk national style. It’s impossible not to notice that the main decor trend has become ribbons that curl behind the slender silhouettes of models or are tied with bows and bows, and sometimes a dress is assembled from separate ribbons.

There is and always will be embroidery, just what kind and where. What do designers offer us who use embroidery to decorate their models from season to season? Appliques, satin stitch, hemstitch, cutwork, embroidery with beads and sequins, ....

Imitation of folds in the form of split strips, patchwork, metal decor, mesh and reflective elements - all this also combines perfectly in one look.

Fashionable dresses 2016 and color palette
Here, designers offer scope for your imagination. And yet, reviewing the 2016 dress collections, Militta discovered that white appears in all collections. But white is simply a must in the summer, you say. Undoubtedly. Therefore, let’s decide, what colors among all the others are appearing more and more often on the catwalk? A combination of blue, white, red - in different versions, green, especially green shades in prints.
Anteprima, Luisa Beccaria
Ralph Lauren, Hermes
It is impossible to bypass the Armani collection, which tells us pink, tangerine and coral, blue, purple and gray shades. I have already noticed the chaos of silhouettes and cuts in many collections. In Armani's collections, the simplicity of the styles is compensated by a skillful combination of color shades.
Emporio Armani
Black color, despite the hot summer, remains in demand both among designers and in our wardrobe. The black and white geometry in the collection demonstrates how close to ideal shapes can be achieved. When using this range, you need to take into account all your advantages and disadvantages in your figure, so as not to achieve excess volume. The palette of bright colors includes tangerine, iridescent color spots, and green. The bright palette includes collections by Idan Cohen, Pamella Roland, Holly Fulton, Paul Smith and many others.
One of the fashionable colors is the color of noble silver, which can be found both as molten and as if glowing with the smallest sparks.

Prints on fashionable dresses spring-summer 2016
Striped print!!! This print continues to be one of the first in trend. Only the stripe becomes unusual in the 2016 season. It comes at different angles, comes in different widths, in the new season it is quite wide, intertwined with other prints, etc.
Therefore, feel free to choose a striped print, only if for you beauty and elegance are not an empty phrase, be careful with horizontal stripes, they are very capricious, especially in strategically important places on our figure.
Jonathan Saunders, Reem Acra
Salvatore Ferragamo
Animal print is here to stay. We have been living peacefully with all these leopards, tigers, pythons and crocodiles for a long time, so the choice is yours. Particularly popular are not only natural leopards and other mammals, but also those completely unexpected in color and origin.
Hogan, Roccobarocco
Flowers of the steppe, meadow - poppies, cornflowers, daisies, fantasy flowers and in a smeared palette, mixed with abstraction and geometry... Birds fluttering from a skirt to a blouse, from a blouse to shorts... Ethnic print is also popular, which is sometimes offered by designers as embroidery.
Luisa Beccaria, Naeem Khan 
Longing for something unusual, in some places complete chaos, and in others simply a rebellion against beauty - this is how we see the new models of dresses for spring-summer 2016. In the new season, we can look whatever we want. Many designers sought to make a statement from the catwalk at any cost, while some showed restraint and remained true to timeless beauty and elegance. Which one of them you will follow is your choice.
Dresses have been and remain the most sought-after items in a woman's wardrobe. This enviable popularity of this type of clothing is quite simple to explain: it is in dresses that women have the opportunity to fully reflect their natural essence, emphasizing the natural grace of lines, seductiveness of forms, fragility and tenderness of the entire image as a whole. In addition, no other type of clothing can boast such an incredibly wide variety of designs, styles and models. Modern designers have offered a colossal selection of fashionable dresses for spring-summer 2016, among which both a selfless hippie girl and a glamorous socialite can find theirs. It's time to find out which dresses will become trendy in the warm season of 2016.
Fashionable dresses with trains
Dresses with trains, which returned to fashion in the last warm season, have not lost their “fashion points” this year, as clearly evidenced by the shows of Zac Posen, Antonio Berardi, Osman, Pamella Roland, Dennis Basso, Versus Versace, Alice and Olivia, Katie Ermilio, Zuhair Murad, Christian Siriano, Valentin Yudashkin, Giles. Of course, such chic outfits can hardly be called practical and universal, because they are completely unsuitable for everyday work and walking, but they simply will not have equals at receptions, balls, weddings, etc.
Fashionable dresses spring-summer 2016
Mermaid dresses can also be classified as those that are more suitable only for special occasions. At least until recently, this was exactly the case, because designers mostly made them in maxi length, which made them practically unwearable in any other conditions. However, recently, the hem of the year has been noticeably shortened, which has made them much more suitable for everyday life. Godet dresses in midi length can be found in the new lines of Derek Lam, Dion Lee, Alessandra Rich. At the same time, Delpozo, Tracy Reese, Zuhair Murad, Marchesa, Marchesa Notte, Oscar de la Renta, Moschino, Givenchy, Esteban Cortazar, Ermanno Scervino gave preference to verified classics, including their magnificent maxi options in their shows.
Mullet dresses, which burst into the fashion world just a couple of years ago, have become regular guests at most fashion shows. These models, which imply a multi-level hem, have taken root perfectly in evening and everyday fashion. Dresses in which the front part is much higher than the back can be found in the collections of Zac Zac Posen, Valentin Yudashkin, Sachin and Babi, Alice and Olivia, Vetements, Antonio Berardi, Christian Dior, Erin Fetherston, Badgley Mischka, Elie Saab, Issa, Julien Macdonald. Thanks to the wide selection of materials, lengths and shades that were used by the designers, such outfits really fit quite appropriately into almost all areas of the life of a modern lady.
Smok dresses
Smok dresses are distinguished by the presence of lush frills under the bust line, which is not surprising, because in English this word is translated as “decorate with frills.” As a rule, this style implies a loose bottom and a high waist. Numerous frills can serve well for those who have something to hide under them. For example, under such decor you can successfully hide your full belly from others, which is why pregnant women often choose such dresses for themselves. You can see similar outfits in the collections of Isa Arfen, Valentin Yudashkin, Delpozo, Lela Rose, Allessandra Rich, Manish Arora, Salvatore Ferragamo, Osman, Sachin and Babi, Wendy Nichol.
Dresses with full skirts spring-summer 2016
Fluffy, flared, A-line skirts have once again taken their rightful place in fashion competitions. A number of designers still gravitate towards retro style, offering us baby dollar dresses, tutu dresses or new look options (Delpozo, Christian Siriano, Betsey Johnson, Moschino, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce and Gabbana, Pamella Roland, Philipp Plein, Tory Burch, Valentin Yudashkin, Giamba, Les Copains), although, of course, modern retro models are hardly similar to those that were in the 60-70s, which is not so bad, because in the yard The 21st century and modern fashion has the right to dictate its terms.
Along with short tutu dresses and babydoll dresses, chic, fluffy ballroom and evening dresses A-line silhouettes courtesy of Reem Acra, Tadashi Shoji, Barbara Tfank, Zuhair Murad, Naeem Khan, Christian Siriano, Marchesa, Luisa Beccaria, Maison Rabih Kayrouz, Ermanno Scervino, Delpozo, Dennis Basso, Giles, Givenchy and many other trendsetters .
Asymmetrical tops are far from new to the fashion world, but since the demand for these creations is only growing, fashion houses and fashion designers are including them in their shows again and again. And how could it be otherwise? Just look how elegant and incredibly seductive sundresses look in greek style from Alberta Ferretti, Fausto Puglisi, Diane van Furstenberg, Elie Saab, Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano.
However, asymmetry can be expressed not only in one-shoulder dresses. The straps on which the product is held, cutouts, the cut itself, drawings, decorative elements and much more can be asymmetrical - it’s only a question of the designer’s imagination (Herve Leger by Max Azria, A Détacher, Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Ohne Titel, Mugler, Marchesa, Marc Jacobs, Sacai, Versace, Kimora Lee Simmons, Lanvin, Giorgio Armani, Gareth Pugh, Andrew Gn, Jean Pierre Braganza, Emilio Pucci, Antonio Marras, Costume National, Holly Fulton).
Bandeau dresses and bustier dresses are again among the leaders of the new warm season. These incredibly stylish models amaze with their seductiveness on the one hand and restraint on the other. Dresses that are held to the body not by straps and sleeves playfully reveal women's shoulders, arms and décolleté. But they definitely cannot be called frank, because most of them have a strict, tight-fitting style, reminiscent of a sheath, thanks to which they can be safely worn both to the office and to a work party. To be fair, it should be said that there are also more revealing models, decorated high slits, bright prints, bold fabrics and original decorative elements. The whole variety of bandeaus and bustiers is reflected in the collections of Leonard, Marchesa, Ermanno Scervino, Herve Leger by Max Azria, Cedric Charlier, Bibhu Mohapatra, Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, Alberta Ferretti, Valentin Yudashkin, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Paco Rabanne, Moschino, Naeem Khan, Joseph, Milly, Martin Grant, Monique Lhuillier.
Curly necklines are another newfangled trend. Moreover, such “bareness” can be found in various parts of the product. Sometimes they look like well-thought-out design tricks, with the help of which you can emphasize certain parts of the body, while in some cases it seems that the dress was cut by playful children who fell into the inept hands of scissors. You can get acquainted with this trend using the example of the collections of Nicole Miller, Mara Hoffman, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Badgley Mischka, Bibhu Mohapatra, Cushnie et Ochs, Gabriele Colangelo, Caitlin Price, Dsquared, Eckhaus Latta, Calvin Klein Collection, Mugler, Christian Kane, Herve Leger by Max Azria, Parsons MFA, Philipp Plein, Hood By Air.
Material of fashionable dresses spring-summer 2016
It's time to consider the most popular materials that brands used when sewing their new dress collections.
Leather dresses spring-summer 2016
Leather dresses have long become classics. They have burst into our daily lives at a confident pace and do not want to leave at all. And, despite the fact that leather products no longer shock others as they once did, they still attract increased attention, because in order to afford to wear a chic leather dress, you need to have not only a certain amount of money, but also beautiful body. In the new warm season you can find both black and colored leather. Colored leather was preferred by Au Jour Le Jour, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Nina Ricci, Threeasfour, Mugler, Fendi, Jason Wu, while black leather was preferred by Celine, Gareth Pugh, Courreges, Diesel Black Gold, Cushnie et Ochs, Edun, Givenchy, Ermanno Scervino, Jil Sander, Guy Laroche.
Knitted fabrics, perforations, mesh
Perforations, mesh fabrics, hand or machine knitting have become increasingly common at fashion shows. And if last season only isolated mesh elements appeared, this year we were literally overwhelmed by a wave of various dresses made from similar materials. If you know how to do this with your hands, feel free to get to work. Those who do not know such techniques should pay attention to the lines of Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Elie Tahari, Derek Lam, Alice and Olivia, Tracy Reese, Valentino, Sophie Theallet, Tommy Hilfiger, Anna Sui, Acne Studios, Akris, Alexander McQueen , Alexis Mabille, Sibling, Simone Rocha, Dennis Basso, Yigal Azrouel, Sonia Rykiel, Diesel Black Gold.
Multi-textured fabrics
When viewing new collections of certain designers, a double impression is created. We are talking about those in which several materials were used to create dresses. Such materials can look harmonious with each other, or, on the contrary, they can sharply contrast in texture and color. For what purpose do designers use such techniques? Perhaps they were pretty carried away by the patchwork technique? Or did you decide to create collections based on the remaining pieces of fabric? Or is this some kind of bold innovative idea? Whatever goal they pursued, they succeeded. Such outfits really attract attention, leaving a kind of “aftertaste”. To get acquainted with dresses of different textures, you need to look through the collections of Bottega Veneta, Christopher Kane, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Ashley Williams, Toga, Stella McCartney, Jacquemus, Antonio Marras, ADEAM, 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Transparent fabrics
Transparent fabrics were again used in a fairly wide range when creating spring-summer collections. Silk, tulle, chiffon, lace, cambric, voile, voile, gauze, organza - such fabrics were often found in the lines of Calvin Clein Collection, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Rodarte, DKNY, Ermanno Scervino, Blumarine, Arthur Arbesser, Akris, Aquilano, Anna Sui, Ashley Williams, Balenciaga, Burberry Prorsum. And, of course, many designers are again calling for wearing similar outfits on naked bodies.
It is already difficult to surprise anyone with a rich finish, but in the new spring-summer season, designers nevertheless made such an attempt. In addition to the standard fringe, ruffles, frills, pleating, rhinestones, sequins and other finishing methods, fashion designers resorted to complex 3-D appliqués and incredible patterns assembled from metal fittings. In addition, one could find truly stunning outfits, decorated with lush long ostrich feathers, natural colored fur, or their most complex combinations. Some outfits were more reminiscent of exotic animals and insects, others were bright colored pillows, others were fields and meadows strewn with delicate flowers, others were glowing balls from a fashionable disco, while others were bright and naive children's drawings. And we can observe all this splendor thanks to the fruitful work of Givenchy, Veronique, Branquinho, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, VFiles, Moschino, Phillipp Plein, Temperley London, Alexander McQueen, Salvatore Ferragamo, Zac Zac Posen, Dolce and Gabbana, Manish Arora, Marchesa, Rodarte, Jeremy Scott, Threeasfour, Luisa Beccaria, Bibhu Mohapatra, Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Au Jour Le Jour, Akris, Betsey Johnson, Anthony Vaccarello, Altuzarra, Antonio Berardi.
The choice of colors was also complete and rich. Here are deep blue (Ralph Lauren, DKNY), and passionate red (Elie Saab, Valentin Yudashkin), and orange (Reem Acra, Salvatore Ferragamo), and metallic (Prabal Gurung, Saint Laurent), and green (Vetements, Gucci), and copper with brick (Nina Ricci, Stella McCartney), and yellow (Roksanda, Tome), and wine, purple with pink (Anna Sui, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta), and blue (Tracy Reese). In addition, color combinations using the ombre technique and color blocking style were often used (Fausto Puglisi, Marco de Vincenzo, Delpozo, Monique Lhuillier).
Among all the possible fashion prints of the spring-summer season 2016, the winner was geometry, manifested both in strict wide stripes and rather abstract fuzzy patterns (Issa, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, Elie Saab, Roksanda, Stella Jean). In addition, plant prints are popular, which we see in the collections of Giamba, Gucci, Tamara Mellon, Moschino, Oscar de la Renta. Classic predatory patterns are extremely rare in the new warm season.
The review of fashionable dresses for spring-summer 2016 has come to an end. We can say with complete confidence that such a wide range of models, colors and decor can confuse even the most experienced fashionista. In this case, you can give only one piece of advice - stay true to your taste, flair and style.
Not a single fashionista can do without a dress in the summer, because it is comfortable and beautiful. And the right dress is also universal - for work, for a date, for the theater, and with the right accessories, for a party or dinner party. But this does not mean that there should be only one dress - the fashion of the summer 2016 season offers such a variety of styles and colors that it makes your eyes wide open. Therefore, armed with knowledge about the trends of the season, run to summer shopping. So, what will be the fashionable dresses for summer 2016? Photo, women's styles, features of choice and what to wear them with?
Styles and cuts
If we talk about the styles of dresses, then the shirt dress and robe dress are definitely in fashion, as a continuation of the pajama fashion, which never leaves the catwalks. Such models can be found at Marc Jacobs or Versace, and brands that are more accessible in everyday life are full of such dresses. For example, at Mango you can buy a dress that repeats white shirt with a collar, but long enough even for the office, and Zara has a more democratic shirt with small stripes - ideal for city walks in combination with sneakers or slip-ons.
Continuing the theme of pajama style is the nightie dress - sundress middle length or mini with thin straps. To reduce the degree of sexuality and frankness, wear a combination with sneakers and denim or a tuxedo jacket.
In general, open shoulders are what... The shoulders can be emphasized with thin straps of a sundress-nightie or completely open; this is an excellent choice for hot days. Look for options like Vera Wang's with an American armhole that emphasizes the roundness of the shoulders (beware of this style, if your shoulders are wide, the armhole will make them even wider visually) or an asymmetrical cut with one shoulder, like Cavalli. Or choose options with a large flounce that opens the shoulders, like Zara’s.
The already mentioned asymmetry is also in favor - not only open shoulder, but also one sleeve and asymmetry of the hem are in fashion. For example, a dress with an asymmetrical hem was presented by Cavalli and Armani, and a more affordable option can be found in the collection of the Baon brand from Laysan Utyasheva.
The devil of fashion is in the details - it's the details of the cut that make it stand out fashion item from outdated. So, in 2016, a V-neck and a side slit that opens the leg are at the height of fashion.
The V-neck is very sexy and attractive and looks great on an evening or cocktail dress, as well as on a beach tunic. It makes the neck longer and elongates the silhouette, as it gives the image additional verticality. Versace, Louis Vuitton, Diane von Furstenberg, as well as the more affordable Victoria Andreyanova, Baon, Oji, Mango are sewing their summer 2016 dresses with just such a neckline.
Photos, fashion trends in materials
The undoubted favorite in the summer season of this year is chiffon. Flying silhouettes are favored by many designers in both maxi and midi versions. Next in popularity is mesh, a dress made from it should be worn with a cover - a plain sheath dress or a slip dress. Only if the cover is laconic can the mesh be painted with smoky patterns and designs.
Lace looks very romantic and summery, especially if it is pure cotton. Buy a juicy yellow tunic with lace at Zara or a white lace dress with an American armhole at Michael Kors - these outfits combine several fashion trends at once.
Colors
The summer color palette is traditionally very rich in bright and rich shades, but heaviest weight They have coral, burgundy and indigo, and if the first two have been firm favorites for several seasons, then indigo looks very fresh.
Coral has been a summer trend for the last few seasons, it is so universal and suitable for almost all ages and types. Burgundy has ceased to be the color of autumn and goes well with sandals and summer hats. Indigo, that is, a rich, bright blue with a hint of lilac, goes well with black, white and silver.
By the way, about black and white - there are not many of them in the summer of 2016. Black is only to emphasize the classic lines of the style, and white is more common in combinations with other colors.
Prints on dresses summer 2016 (photo)
Fashion trends among prints also shine with originality: designers have offered a lot of different patterns for fashionable dresses. Firstly, these are ethnic motifs, among which Japanese and African ones stand out.
Thus, the collections of Alexander McQueen, Karen Walker and Missoni were clearly inspired by kimono and samurai aesthetics. This was expressed in long sleeve cuts, in a combination of black with red and white, in prints reminiscent of cherry blossoms.
African motifs appear more clearly - these are flowing tunics and sundresses in brown, brick, yellow, orange shades with recognizable geometric patterns. Next to them is an African riot of colors - bright watercolor patterns and multi-colored flats really refresh the image. Look for similar dresses from budget Springfield or Kiabi.
Also, on all shop windows and pages of fashion magazines there is a stripe - of different colors, thicknesses and directions, but mainly vertical and diagonal. Thus, the stripes on dresses from Zarina in the new look style are complemented by bright tropical flowers, and Faberlic dresses stand out with a bright contrasting graphic pattern of stripes. This pattern, by the way, directly refers us to the pop art style, which is visible in the summer fashion shows of many designers.
The second stable trend after stripes is flowers. These can be either individual compositional elements or a bright or pastel floral print.
Details
Summer dresses of 2016 are rich in details - fringe, flounces, ruffles, frills make the dresses elegant, but not pretentious.
Flounces and frills will help create an image that is opposite in mood. They can decorate a sleeve, especially at the elbow length (like Elie Saab), the hem of a dress (like Givenchy) or a V-neck (like Louis Vuitton).
Haven't chosen your dress yet? Summer 2016, as can be seen from the photo, offers a variety of fashion trends for girls and women of all ages and sizes. Don't miss the opportunity to shine!
Of course, summer dresses can be worn with sandals. What are the most fashionable this season? .
The latest designer collections have once again proven that the dress is an invariable attribute of a woman’s wardrobe and can add special grace and charm to the image of its owner.
In place of minimalist finishing and modest cut, a spectacle of colors and a colossal selection of original styles are returning to fashion.
What dresses will be in fashion in the spring-summer 2016 season are below in our review.
Current colors and prints
The color scheme of one of the most feminine outfits in 2016 is as diverse as possible.
The designer collections feature both modest classic tones and rich and bright shades. In particular, the following colors will be held in special esteem:
- herbal;
- rich red;
- mandarin;
- deep blue;
- copper;
- metallic silver;
- mustard.
As well as shades of brown, sunny yellow, noble wine tones, pink, blue and purple.
Along with monochromatic outfits, the collections presented original solutions in the ombre technique, as well as interesting color combinations in the color blocking style.
As for prints, geometry in all its diversity took the leading place here. This multi-faceted trend is represented by stripes and abstract patterns.
Of course, not a single warm season can do without a plant theme, which is presented in abundance in new collections in the form of a scattering of floral images on dresses.
Other prints, for example, a predatory animal pattern, if found in spring-summer collections, are much more rare.
Material and finishing
The warm season of 2016 promises to be very interesting in terms of new products. At least, this can be judged by the abundance of materials used to sew dresses.
Along with traditional silk, chiffon, satin and other light fabrics, the lion's share of fashion collections this season is occupied by leather and leather dresses. Moreover, there is an abundance of both products in the classic black tones and dresses made of leather dyed in different colors.
Elegant mesh dresses and other outfits with fashionable perforations will help you avoid melting like ice cream in the sun in the heat. Perforations, mesh fabrics and large machine knitting literally filled the catwalk, which defined a new fashion trend.
The group of light outfits includes dresses made of airy translucent and transparent fabrics, which are also abundantly presented in the fashion collections of the spring-summer season 2016.
And finally, another interesting novelty - multi-textured outfits, when contrasting fabrics or patchwork technique patchwork.
The decoration is also surprising in its variety. If you don’t like modesty and laconicism in outfits, pay attention to the original models with fringe, frills, rhinestones, sequins and metal fittings.
Back in fashion volumetric applications and stunning 3-D technology represented by original flower buds.
Among the most spectacular solutions are trimmings with ostrich feathers, colored fur and bold combinations of contrasting details.
Dress styles
To describe in detail all the current dress models for the spring-summer 2016 season, you will need a whole book. Fortunately, the designers did their best.
Therefore, we will focus only on the more significant trends, which will probably soon appear on the streets of modern cities on fashionistas in the form of stunning outfits.
The main trends of the season will be dresses with asymmetrical tops, bandeaus and bustiers, dresses with cutouts and slits, as well as godet dresses. But let's talk about everything in order. Let's look at the current models in more detail.
Asymmetrical top
Along with the classic cut of the shoulder line in dresses, asymmetry is coming back into fashion. But now eminent couturiers suggest making asymmetrical not the hem, but the shoulder line.
At the same time, the bare female shoulder looks incredibly feminine and seductive. Such dresses are presented in a wide variety of styles and colors.
In the collections you can find original models of mini, midi and maxi lengths, straight and with a clearly defined waistline, in minimalist finishes and with rich finishes.
Bandeau and Bustier Dresses
Their main difference is the complete absence of a top, which, of course, will help demonstrate the neckline in the most favorable light and will certainly attract the attention of the opposite sex.
Most stylish outfits have a tight-fitting style, but there are also models with moderately or very full skirts.
Long bandeau dresses with slits can be a great evening ensemble.
In 2019, lace and chiffon and many other materials are in fashion. Fashionable summer, autumn and spring dresses this season can be different lengths, original cut and unique style with geometries.
Fashion 2019 inherits trends that were established in previous seasons. This summer will delight beauties with romantic chiffon silhouettes, unique combinations of dresses and trousers, retro styles in a modern style and an unusual combination of different fabrics and textures. We should prepare for summer in advance and we have this opportunity. So, what does fashion have in store for us for spring and summer, autumn this year?
Fashionable women's dresses in 2019: general fashion trends

Beautiful women's dresses for any special occasion
Fashion catwalks allowed us to see a variety of models for spring and summer. Basically, careless asymmetry prevails in the hem, neck and shoulder areas. The mullet style model looks elegant, in which the length of the skirt in front and back has different lengths.
