And spring-summer comes again. Blooming gardens, lovely snowdrops and proud tulips, luxurious roses and smell, smell ... The sun's rays give warmth and beckon us to country walks, parks, to the country house and to the sea. And dresses made of luxurious fabrics with cute floral designs delight the eyes.
It seems that it is no longer possible to surprise us with anything, however, in the new spring-summer 2024 season, the designers still tried, and we have to wonder how vast the scope of their imagination is.
What are the main trends in new dresses for 2024?
Some trends continue their triumphant march not only on the catwalk, but also in our wardrobes. And we only look closely at others and begin to master them gradually. But how many new discoveries await us in the new season!
Despite the fact that the cut should list the options and ideas of the last season, much will not seem to us for a long time read and outdated, because designers consider the same idea from different angles, so in the new season we see everything in a new way.
Asymmetry. Open shoulder, one sleeve, skirt with a complex cut along the bias, with shelves of different lengths or wedges in the form of a year or a kerchief. In the cut, you can see both clearly drawn lines and somewhat blurred borders, merging into a single shape, we do not part with the A-silhouette, which is always perfectly combined with the mini-length. Layering in the new season is not excluded.
Purely classic cut, emphasizing timeless elegance, tight-fitting dresses - they always adorn us and remain in our wardrobe for a long time. Many designers prefer this cut in their collections, because it is the tight-fitting dresses that convey the femininity of the image, as you can see in Julien Macdonald.
In the spring-summer 2024 season, there is a wide variety of dresses with straight sleeves and low armholes, sometimes with contrasting planks and wide belts. Designers offer us to purchase a dress-robe or a dress-tunic. A dressing gown can look not only as a morning dress, but also as a decent evening one. And if a tunic dress is supplemented with cropped trousers made of light fabric, like in Giorgio Armani, it will be simply luxurious.
The neckline, except for a small classic oval, tends to a deep V-shaped neckline. In a wide variety of dresses - bustiers, they are found in almost every collection, and timeless classics - cocktail dresses, which can be seen in the collections of Dennis Basso, Barbara Tfank and of course in the Lela Rose collections.
Most likely, this is where designers leave us complete freedom. Dresses - mini and floor-length dresses, dresses of medium length, slightly above or below the knees - this is the main length of the models.
The summer heat predetermines getting rid of the excess, so exposure of the belly is not news, although in recent seasons this option has slightly given way to other trends. If in previous seasons we showed our bellies, tucked up or sagging, wearing short tops, then in the new season the designers, having seen enough of this parade of bellies, decided to approach a little differently. Any girl can show her belly - there are models for the more daring, there are also models for the more modest ones.

Sweater dress, shirt dress, slip dresses from the Sharon-Wauchob collection, silhouettes of antiquity that flow smoothly along the body and resemble a toga or chiton, like ancient classical sculptures, Japanese kimonos, Indian saris.
Prints on dresses spring-summer 2024
Stripes.Striped prints of various widths and color combinations, the stripes fit onto fabrics both in strict order and in various combinations, which goes well in models with a simple cut and creates a cheerful mood of a bright summer. Bold horizontal or slanting stripes make regular straight dresses quite playful.

Ethnic print... Designers travel to different countries of the world in search of new prints, trying to see new color combinations with their experienced eyes ...

Glow against the background of the blue sky, how can you not remember the famous prints of Emilio Pucci himself.

Flowers... The flower print represents the Flower Parade. The variety of forms of colored vegetation is truly fantastic - from small daisies to huge peonies and exotic flowers never seen before. Flowers are combined with Turkish paisley or grow into huge bouquets against the background of other prints.
Animal prints
The animal print looks special in the new season. It is difficult to find a print in the form of a leopard skin in collections, but you will find leopard paws with terrifying claws or, in blurred watercolor, the figures of animals frozen in their fantastic dance.
Giles, Issa, Emilio Pucci
Black and white graphics of geometric shapes and the ever-beloved Art Deco print remain in trend.

There are many prints on the astral theme and the theme of the underwater world, and textile artists express this in most cases in an abstract manner.
Shiatzy Chen, Manish Arora
Some designers preferred to get away from complex, intricate prints that layered on top of each other, and took a simpler position in expressing their imagination, but no less bright, defining themselves in a contrasting combination of color blocks from restrained and large geometric shapes. Even the famous queen of prints Mary Katrantzou opted for restrained prints, and in some versions, classic monotony.

One of the important trends of the new season is mesh fabric. The mesh can be used as a decoration, or it can be a dress made entirely of mesh.
A combination of fabrics of different textures - for example, leather, chiffon and silk; chiffon and satin; lace fabrics in which a spider web is visible, with flowers scattered on the canvas. Multi-layered transparency, which is created by luxurious fabrics, fabrics with glitter or with a metallic thread, fabrics in the form of molten metal occupy their niche in the new season, which should be especially paid attention to if you go to a gala event.
Silk, chiffon, satin, lace, organza, plastic, leather, tweed, etc. - all these fabrics are considered in all variants of the summer season.
Separately, it should be noted the variety of dresses made of transparent fabric, as well as dresses from mesh that are offered by designers Monique Lhuillier, Lea Peckre, Alexis Mabille, Balenciaga and many others.

The netting is fine and the netting is made of coarse twisted threads, reminiscent of macrame or jute weaves. The ambiguous mesh reveals and hides, it attracts and lures. Richelieu embroidery, satin stitch embroidery, embroidery with national ornaments, dresses with white collars. Bulky flowers that cover almost the entire canvas with their violet twigs or flowers in conjunction with feathers.
Dresses with 3-D effect continue to delight fashionistas in the new season. This effect makes the body more prominent, but at the same time it makes the body more voluminous. However, girls with curvaceous forms should not be upset, for each of us the designers have tried their best and solve this problem in different ways. For example, a dress with voluminous flowers arranged in the form of small bouquets on one shoulder, like Alberta Ferretti's, can also be worn by a girl-puff.
Fringe on dresses

Shuttlecocks, original petals-scales, metal rings and ... metal spikes.
Pleated dresses from last season are rolling over to Spring / Summer 2024.Rhinestones, sequins and other reflective elements are sure to be present not only in our imaginations, but also on our festive outfits. Elie Saab's drapery of flowing fabric that flows from your body like water will transform you into an ancient Greek goddess. There is no chaos in them, everything is well thought out, because the fabric is obedient in the hands of this famous designer.
Color blocks in combination from two blocks to four blocks or more create luxurious decor combined with the simplest cut, while the dresses look undoubtedly elegant.

A smooth transition from one color to another brighter and more contrasting - gradient - this variant of the multi-color palette is especially beautiful at Elie Saab. Many designers have opted for gray, such as Haider Ackermann or Giorgio Armani.
