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, the seductiveness of forms, the 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 2020, 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 2020.
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.
Summer sundresses with thin straps
Thin straps essentially distinguish a sundress from an ordinary dress, at least we are used to thinking so, although sundresses can have other types of cut. However, it is sundresses with thin straps that fill our wardrobes in the hot summer, and we take them on vacation. One of the new trends of the year is wearing sundresses with thin straps over tops or thinner dresses.

Fashionable dresses spring-summer 2020
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.
Warm option
Until spring comes, stylists decided to please fashionistas with comfortable and beautiful warm dresses. Fur and leather are used in their decoration. Such dresses are not open: their main task is to create comfort for their owner in cold weather. These are closed models, which, nevertheless, have their own zest.
In winter, dresses mainly use high collars and stand-up collars. An interesting decision this year: wear a thin turtleneck under the dress. Warm and stylish at the same time.
Fashionable mullet dresses spring-summer 2020
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.
In the name of femininity
Modern fashion stylists have declared lace to be perhaps the most relevant of all materials for this summer. Women's fashionable dresses made from lace fabrics of various lengths, colors, and cuts appeared in the shows of most of the world's fashion houses. Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and others paid tribute to this amazingly elegant, truly feminine material.
Lace is suggested to be worn not only in the evening, but also every day, for example, to use it in a business wardrobe - if not as a whole dress, then at least as a trim.
Lace is successfully combined with mesh, chiffon, and thin silk. It’s as if the designers have unanimously agreed to return gentle femininity to the catwalks, from where it triumphantly emerges onto the streets of cities around the world.
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.

The dress will be irreplaceable just for a walk with friends at any time of the day. This style will also be needed for a business style at work. So you can’t go wrong – it will always come in handy!
Dresses with full skirts spring-summer 2020
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 it’s the 21st century and modern fashion has the right to dictate their terms.
Along with short tutu dresses and babydoll dresses, chic fluffy A-line ballroom and evening dresses, kindly presented by Reem Acra, Tadashi Shoji, Barbara Tfank, Zuhair Murad, Naeem Khan, Christian Siriano, Marchesa, Luisa Beccaria, Maison, were in favor Rabih Kayrouz, Ermanno Scervino, Delpozo, Dennis Basso, Giles, Givenchy and many other trendsetters.
Loop by loop
A fashionable dress may well be knitted. This applies to both winter, spring and summer models. If you take wool yarn, the dress will turn out warm and very cozy on frosty winter days. If you use yarn made from cotton, silk, bamboo, or linen, you will have a nice summer dress.
Knitted dresses come in a variety of colors. There are options in one tone, and there are those created from yarn of different shades. This dress, made with high quality, has always been considered a stylish and unusual wardrobe item.
In 2017, it became one of the main fashion trends. Therefore, everyone who wants to be fashionable should think about purchasing at least one model for their collection.
Dresses with asymmetrical top spring-summer 2020
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 sundress dresses in the Greek style look 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).
Sundresses over tops
This is one of the brightest and newest trends, especially since it is quite unusual for summer. As a rule, layering is more typical for the cold season, but the designers decided to make a knight's move. They presented looks on the runway where sundresses were worn over other dresses and long-sleeved tops. Undoubtedly, this unusual trend will find its admirers among those who are delighted with the casual style.

Fashionable dresses without top spring-summer 2020
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 with 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.
Asymmetrical cut
Fashion offers women a real feast of interesting ideas, not always new, but no less seductive. So, asymmetry is fashionable again!
These are not only hemlines of different lengths, but also unusual necklines. An asymmetrical neckline, according to designers, can drive any man crazy.
The length of the dress can be anything: from extreme mini to floor-length. At the same time, stylists recommend remembering the cuts that so seductively reveal a woman’s leg. This move has been known for a very long time, but has not lost its relevance over the centuries.

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.
On one shoulder
Another legacy of past fashion eras is dresses with one open shoulder. It seems that in 2017, designers decided to collect all the best from previous decades of world fashion and present it in a new version.
One-shoulder dresses fit well into evening style and look great on a hot summer day outside. They emphasize the femininity of the figure and create intrigue.
Such dresses can be of different lengths - floor-length or midi. The materials are all the most relevant for the new season.
Material of fashionable dresses spring-summer 2020
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 individual 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.
Romance and retro
Romantic flowing models are also very relevant. Romance and retro are at the peak of popularity this fashion season. All the fashion houses of the world offered their variations on these themes, striking the imagination of fashionistas with the splendor of ideas, variety of colors and quality of fabrics.
Short, medium length, midi and maxi - dresses this year can be different. The main rule is to match the figure and the occasion. For example, it is hardly appropriate to wear a super short dress to the office, but at a youth party it will come in handy. An evening option for stylish ladies is long dresses of a romantic style.
Decor and finishing of fashionable dresses spring-summer 2020
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 luminous 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.
Game of colors
Colors in the new season are combined very boldly. Bright colors juxtapose with delicate pastels.
As for prints, there are two trends. One offers contrasts of bright colors, as well as animal and plant patterns. The second is dominated by prints in two colors. The main characters here” are white and black, blue and white, brown and beige.
An interesting trend is watercolor drawings with blurry contours and smooth color transitions. Such fashionable colors of dresses look very gentle and feminine.

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).
A riot of scraps
The patchwork technique has found its way into all styles of dresses this season. Even romance is not spared from this fashion trend. It is noteworthy that to create models based on patchwork, mostly knitted fabrics are now used.
Spring 2017 offers tight-fitting dresses made using this technique. At the same time, the combination of scraps of different fabrics that differ in texture is often complemented by other details - mesh inserts, lace inserts, ruffles and flounces.
An important point: the colors of the individual components of such a “patchwork” dress are selected in one tone, it is best if they are monochrome. This gives an unexpected and interesting effect. The models turn out to be truly exquisite. Perhaps this can be called a quite successful nod to the boho style. This year he continues his triumphant march along fashion catwalks.
Loose silhouette dresses are available. Characteristic details include puffed sleeves and exquisite clasps decorating the collar. Fabrics for boho dresses are mainly used with ethnic designs.
Prints of fashionable dresses spring-summer 2020
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 2020 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.
Trapezoid at the base
The silhouettes of fashionable dresses are amazing. Asymmetrical cuts combined with incredible fabrics, which often include metallic threads, allow you to create futuristic outfits.
In many models, a trapezoid is taken as a basis. This shape gives great opportunities to designers when developing clothes. It helps to hide figure flaws and at the same time highlight advantages.
Sundresses are very relevant. There are many of them - different styles and colors. You can happily rock all summer long in this traditional, timeless outfit.
