Dresses are no stranger to women. In everyone’s impression, a dress is a garment where the top and skirt are integrated. Then some may ask: Why do some dresses win women’s favor while others are ignored? Although dresses may look similar in appearance, I don’t think the reason lies there. While appearance is one aspect, detailed design is also crucial. Besides, factors like price and fabric also influence people’s choices.
Summer is the perfect season for dresses
This issue will share the popular trends of summer dresses in 2025. The following four styles flatter everyone. If you love wearing dresses, come and take a look: shirt dresses, puff-sleeve dresses, strapless dresses, and sleeveless dresses.
Shirt Dresses
They aren’t just a simple combination of a shirt and a skirt. Instead, they blend the advantages of both. The top features a shirt collar design, and the waist often includes a prominent belt or pleated design, which highlights the waistline and adds overall layers. For example, a pleated waist dress with a length just covering the ankles pairs well with low-heeled sandals that show more skin. Pair it with a straw bag, and it’s perfect for daily shopping or vacations.
Puff-Sleeve Dresses
The most notable feature is the puffy sleeves, which is evident from the name. Many say it suits younger girls, but I disagree. Because the sleeves are large, they can hide arm fat. However, wearing it may make the whole body look plump. If you have a round face, it’s better to avoid this style.
Strapless Dresses
They resemble chest-high ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress), but strapless dresses have no outer layer. If you don’t have a good figure, this style may not suit you because it fully reveals the shoulder and neck skin above the chest. It’s very fashionable and aligns with Western aesthetic standards.
Sleeveless Dresses
Sleeveless dresses look very elegant. Middle-aged women often prefer this style, and many wear it for work commuting. There are two types: with a belt and without a belt.
Above are the four popular dress styles. Next, let’s talk about colors and fabrics. Since many people wear dresses in summer, choose breathable and sweat-absorbent materials like silk, linen, and tencel. Pure white and red are two familiar colors for dresses. Printed dresses, with white or red as the base and plain prints, look particularly delicate, exuding a noble and mature feminine charm. They are suitable for important events.
