Colours Colour is one of the biggest trends this summer, with pale and neutral shades reminiscent of a make-up colour palate. You will see lots of beige, sage green, emerald green, off white, dusty pink and mint green. These colours are flattering on everyone, no matter what your skin tone is. Although neutral colours do look fantastic on everyone, people with olive skin can look green when wearing a khaki colour, especially if the entire dress is just that colour with no other accents. Many new, trendy plain coloured dresses are accented with bright and bold shoes and interesting cut-outs to add texture, depth, and interest to the outfit. One thing to remember when wearing these trendy light shades is that darker undergarments will show through. One fashion designer recommends cutting the legs of pantyhose and wearing them as panties, which will not show through your summer dress, and there will be no lines. Prints Floral prints are really big this summer, but watch the size of the flowers and take into consideration the shape of your body. You don’t want the flowers to be overwhelming as this type of pattern can make you appear heavier than you really are.

In terms of the length of dresses currently in style, it seems to be either very short or very long, without much in between. Maxi dresses that reach the floor are all the rage. They can easily go from day to night with a couple of quick changes. And then there are the mini dresses that show off a woman’s long legs, perfect for the summer. Many of these new dresses are made of silk, or a silk-like material, cotton, and rayon. Many dresses have V-necks and some are strapless or over one shoulder dresses. Dresses the flow and bounce are the epitome of summer style. To add interest, there are a lot of summer dresses with beading around the top, adding a touch of class and sophistication to the most casual dress, and adding a bit of spice and spender to dresses appropriate for work as well as evening dresses and gowns. This summer, the light colours, comfortable styles, and flowy materials make dresses a great piece of clothing to wear all season long, both to work and for evenings out on the town.
