Wide sleeves
A dress with puffy sleeves has become one of the key trends for 2021-2022. Puffs, lanterns, wings and bells - such models of “fluttering” sleeves are present in the collections of many designers.
We see wide sleeves in the collections of dresses from such famous brands as Oscar de la Renta or Hannibal Laguna , as well as from more affordable manufacturers - Zara or Mango.
A-silhouette—varieties of cut, cuts
At fashion shows, designers present long, chic evening dresses that taper at the chest and attract attention with a deep neckline. Many A-line models, which are distinguished by a lush lower part, are successfully combined with a collar or stand-up, complemented by sleeves in the form of lanterns. These styles are recommended for women who wear large clothes.
For short girls, models with a slit on the side, back or front are suitable, giving a couple of centimeters to the legs.
The top of the dress, which is sewn with or without sleeves, is not decorated with decorative elements, which helps to draw attention to the lower part of the product.
Lightness and chic
Light and airy floor-length dresses will be especially useful to you for the spring-summer season of 2021 and 2022. Summer models of long dresses today are made from chiffon, linen, cotton, silk, satin and other weightless fabrics.
Modern styles of maxi dresses are decorated with pleating, frills, and draperies to give them lightness and airiness.
A fashionable idea for summer 2021-2022 is a long shirt dress or an asymmetrical one-shoulder model. Simply incredible beauty!
The most stylish options
Having looked at the fabrics, it’s time to move on to the main thing – these are, of course, styles. After all, it is the style of the dress that will either emphasize all the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure, or completely erase the entire appearance.
Therefore, it is very important to choose an outfit by trying it on; even seemingly small differences in height or physique can play a fatal role when choosing an evening dress.
The fabric for an evening dress is selected taking into account the height and figure of the girl who will wear it.
Remember! The model that suits your friend/mother/neighbor may not suit you, because even a seemingly identical figure at first glance always has its differences. What fits perfectly on one person does not guarantee a perfect fit on another.
On an important day or evening, every woman wants to look the most stylish and most beautiful. Let's see what the fashion trend says about this in 2021-2022 and what styles fashion designers offer us.
Vanessa
A classic A-line silhouette. This style perfectly emphasizes the waist and chest, while not focusing on the hips. Perfect for ladies with a pear-shaped figure.
Vanessa long dress.
Such dresses are often made from satin, silk, combined with lace or embroidery.
Look great with the addition of floral embroidery on the bodice or with the addition of decorative elements along the shoulders.
One of the most popular silhouettes in 2021-2022. It looks very feminine and elegant. This model will look original with a small train and an open back.
Suzy
These are models with a full skirt and a heart-shaped bodice. Ideal option to highlight the chest and wasp waist:
- The skirt in this model is fluffy, flowy, and does not have a dome.
- It will look great with the addition of a chiffon train and a beautiful decorated back.
- Perfect for girls with an hourglass figure.
- This dress can be complemented with an applique of fashionable colors in 2021-2022. Or decorate with feathers.
Lush floor-length suzy dress.
Davina
Classic silhouette of a floor-length evening dress. A fluffy standing skirt and a tight corset. This model, in a fashionable version for 2021-2022, will look great with a skirt made of tulle or asymmetrical flounces and a lace corset.
Long silk dress Davina.
In this style, any girl will feel like a Disney princess.
This option is especially suitable for graduations and social events in 2021-2022.
Fish
Fitted dress, flared from the knee. One of the most popular options in recent years. It is very narrow and fits exactly to your figure, otherwise it will look ridiculous. This style is suitable for owners of a beautiful figure with curves. This is exactly the model that will fit most favorably on a woman with an hourglass figure.
Long fish dress.
Maybe as a strict closed dress, or with open shoulders and a tulle flounce at the bottom.
Very elegant, but not pretentious, emphasizes the shape and dignity of a woman.
Mermaid
Identical to the fishtail dress. The only difference between these two options is the presence of a small train in the fish. It has also been at the peak of popularity for several years in a row.
The Mermaid pattern is derived from the Gaudet pattern and the flare is created by inserting additional gussets into the fabric.
Floor-length mermaid dress.
A very advantageous model for tall girls, because the train visually elongates the figure even more; if this is unnecessary, then the “little mermaid” will come in handy.
Any outfit for a special event should be chosen based on the season of the holiday and its location. For example, if the celebration is planned to be active, then it is better to choose a dress model with a looser cut.

Also, do not forget that any floor-length festive dress will most likely have to be adjusted to fit your figure; they very rarely fit entirely. Discuss this possibility in advance in the salon where you make the purchase.
You will immediately feel the dress that is yours, despite the strict fashion trends in 2021-2022.
Emphasis on the waist
Fashionable long dresses with a belt at the waist are incredibly popular today. Moreover, it can be a soft belt made of the same fabric as the dress or a leather peplum belt. Also in 2021-2022, it is fashionable to emphasize the figure with leather inserts or a cut-off bodice.
Fashion accessories 2021-2022 – shoulder bag and chain belt. They look incredibly stylish with a long dress!
Decor of floor-length dresses 2021-2022
The main characteristic of the coming season should be considered an original, unexpected finish. The simplest and most familiar style will take on a completely new look if you add a twist to it. As such we can consider:
- fringe;
- frills and lace;
- drapery and lace;
- perforation;
- sequins and feathers.
Off the shoulder dresses with ruffles.
I would like to pay special attention to sequins and feathers: despite the fact that such details of your bow may seem strange, they will complement any dress just perfectly, making it elegant and extravagant. I would like to describe outfits with fringes as fashionable and unique. Let such an element decorate your collar or sleeves, successfully complementing the created image. Drapery “left” the fashion Olympus for a while, but now it has again “declared” its leadership ambitions.

Important! The advantage of this decorative option is that, due to the gathers, it helps to hide figure flaws, if any, from prying eyes.

Also pay attention to floor-length straight dresses 2021-2022.
The lack of bright accents can be compensated for by a complex dress cut or a fashionable print.
