One can hardly imagine a more feminine outfit than an airy, almost weightless chiffon sundress. This fabric invariably emphasizes the sophistication and natural elegance of a beautiful lady. Being one of the favorite materials in the haute couture industry, chiffon reigns supreme on the catwalks and red carpets, but sundresses are increasingly getting from the pages of glossy fashion magazines straight to the streets of cities. Lightweight, transparent, not chilling movement - sundress of chiffon has all the chances to be called “must have the coming summer.”
Models
A variety of choice models of chiffon sundresses will allow fashionistas with any figure to choose for themselves the necessary option. In the new season, many designers who do not recognize any compromises, leave the right to exist only sundresses of two lengths - ultramini or “to the floor”. However, no one bothers to look at the midi models that will never go out of style. The skirt of "tea length" is equally relevant in free time, and in a business dress code, and at a party.
Strict monophonic sundresses or complex combinations of folds with ruffles and appliqués with ruffles - there is a demand for every offer. Depending on the features of the figure and the specifics of the place for the trip to which the outfit is considered, you can choose between bare shoulders, free from the straps, and a model with a provocative V-neck, combined with thin elegant straps. There are models that are perfectly suitable for an evening out - with flying skirts, stand-up collars, decorated for every taste.
Length
Regardless of how radically short or aristocratically elongated the sundress will be, the underlying trend at all times is airiness and femininity.
Recognized classics of the genre in this case will be the model "in the floor." It is amazing that the fabric, which is designed to hide the figure, in fact, only emphasizes its dignity and gives the image a piquancy. The girl in the sundress "on the floor" looks mysterious and seductive, from the slightest of her movements literally breathes a veil of sexuality with hints of light understatement. The free contour of the sundress eagerly responds to any whiff of the warm summer breeze and reverently “embraces” the body of its owner, adding graceful relaxedness and natural magnetism to it.
At the other end of the "line" - sundresses are short, above the knee. Candid, defiant, plain-text girls claiming confidence in their own abilities, sense of style and beauty. And let the fact that such sundresses are sewn from a weightless and almost transparent chiffon, does not stop the fashionistas - playful layering and combined structures come to the rescue.
Fashion trends
It is sometimes quite difficult to keep up with the whims of fashion, but in the case of chiffon sundresses, it is probably no sense to look for a clearly defined trend. Dress can be as free cut, and with a fitted bodice, as with elegant straps, and in the variation of "bustier". In addition, chiffon - a very "friendly" material, it is perfectly combined with lace, sequins or sequins.
For several years now, chiffon sundresses with high waistline have not lost their relevance. This style visually increases the length of slender legs. And if the lady does not want to give up a spectacular and comfortable outfit, even preparing for the main sacrament in the life of any woman, the high waist of the sundress will be an excellent choice during pregnancy.
One of the latest trends of fashion experts called the V-neck, which smoothly and naturally goes into the straps.At the same time, the straps themselves can be either of the classical form or elegantly intertwined on the back. Previously, these straps were an attribute of school sundresses for girls, but this unusual decision found its place on the catwalks. In the Y-shaped strip of fabric, descending from the neck along the spine, there is everything - from deliberate modesty to defiant insecurity.
Types of fabric
Chiffon has always been considered a symbol of weightless lightness and elegant sophistication. Airy and transparent, this fabric has long and firmly occupied one of the leading lines in the list of the most sought-after tailors and designers of materials.
But, despite all the “ethereality” and weightlessness of chiffon, things sewn from this fabric can be worn not only on a hot summer day or evening, but also practically all year round. This was made possible thanks to a wide range of chiffon varieties that are present in the modern fashion scene. Here are just some of them:
- chiffon with the addition of Lurex - luxurious, shiny fabric, created specifically for evening dresses;
- Chiffon Shanzhan - ultra-thin material, the highlight of which was the texture, which has reflective properties;
- jacquard chiffon - smooth to the touch, completely devoid of "proprietary" transparency, but at the same time dense and practical, lacking material;
- coupon chiffon is a fabric that was originally used for interior design, but which has found its application in the wardrobe as well (the one-piece sundress made of coupon chiffon attracts eyes — the pattern on the fabric compensates for the simplicity of the cut, turning it into dignity).
Color and print
Sundresses of chiffon are "friends" with any color. The craziest color combinations are as relevant and permissible as strict monochrome solutions. The playful texture of the fabric itself sets the basic mood, the color of the dress only emphasizes it, puts the necessary accents. Classic white and black are always in fashion.
In the number of fresh trends are more often motley sundresses, generously painted with prints. Floral, ethnic, leopard - each of the patterns will have a place in the wardrobe, and fantasy or geometric patterns will be another indicator of a sense of style.
Who is suitable and where to wear?
Chiffon itself is ideal for the most daring experiments, while it is quite self-sufficient. A dress made of this material will suit both a young graduate or a student who is going to a cafe with friends or picking up a dress at a club party, and a stylish woman who knows a lot about accessories and degree.
Charm in chiffon sundresses at the premiere of a fashion show or on a walk in the park is as easy as meeting at a secular reception or in the office. Chiffon is a very flirtatious material; in clothes from it any woman will be a mystery that she cannot wait to solve.
What to wear?
Weightless chiffon sundresses perfectly complement any image. Everyday outfit is a dress with a pair of a denim vest and bright ballet flats. For a walk to the beach to a sundress, it is enough to add a hat with wide brim and sandals on straps. Flat sole or wedge - at the discretion of the lady. As an evening look, a chiffon dress is perfect in combination with a clutch bag and a high heel. If shoes or shoes with an open toe and a bigger bag are more appropriate, an organza scarf tied to the strap will add elegance to the accessory.
Rules are created to sometimes break them. The airy image blooms with new colors when adding contrasting combinations: a chiffon sundress can be worn with denim or knit jersey. Leather jackets and heavy boots will make the look extravagant and trendy.
