When it's spring outside, the long-awaited sun is shining, green grass appears, buds bloom, and we take off our boring fur coats, down jackets, coats, jackets, heavy shoes, disassemble the wardrobe and clean everything until autumn, and least of all we want to think about fashionable dresses for the future cold season and trends Fall-Winter 2021–2022. Rather, you want to think about vacation capsules and cruise collections from famous brands.

Nevertheless, in February, traditional fashion weeks took place in a new format in New York, Milan, Paris and London. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Jil Sander, Givenchy, Isabel Marant, Giambattista Valli demonstrated their collections at Paris Fashion Week. New York Fashion Week was held in digital format with online presentations by PROENZA SCHOULER, Gabriela Hearst, Jonathan Simkhai.



In Milan, there were also shows "without guests", video format of online presentations and collections of Alberta Ferretti, Salvatore Ferragamo, Etro, Georgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino. Well, in London, all the shows were held on the official website of London fashion week, where everyone could watch the online broadcast of the show. Not a single show has spared the favorite wardrobe item of all girls - dresses. What are the trendiest dresses for next winter 2022?

Let's take a look at 10 main trends in dresses for the upcoming fashion season ...

1. Knitted minimalistic midi dresses or floor-length dresses

Knitted basic dresses in midi or maxi length (to the floor) are in trend. The most relevant are simple laconic colors (nude, white, burgundy, black, khaki, coffee, chocolate, gray, muted red and blue), as well as a horizontal strip.

Such dresses form the basis of a basic rational wardrobe, and most likely will be relevant for several seasons, and thanks to their laconic cut, they will fit perfectly into most sets.

Dresses can be worn with mules, loafers, sneakers, sneakers, boots with a wide free toe, fisherman's boots (with a rough tractor sole), chelsea boots, ankle boots, if necessary, you can add correctors in the form of a vest or jacket.

Minimalist dresses are best used in the most simple, understandable bows. In general, such models can be bought safely, it will be a good investment in a wardrobe for several years, the main thing is to avoid overly fitting styles and remember that there must be "air" between the body and the fabric.

2. Knitted dresses for going out

A more unusual trend was set at New York Fashion Week. PROENZA SCHOULER presented knitted go-out dresses: hand-knitted dresses with a deep neckline, knitted dresses in color-block style, knitted dresses with curly and geometric cuts and slits, as well as dresses in a more saturated color scheme. Length predominantly maxi.

You can wear it with a leather jacket, rough boots, or vice versa, with mules or sandals with heels and a jacket. Such dresses will be uncommon, unusual and memorable at fashion parties, in a restaurant, at an exhibition. The most daring fashionistas can integrate them into their everyday wardrobe.

3. Skirts and pleated dresses in different variations

According to most stylists, pleated skirts and dresses are a good working base in a wardrobe, only formally they are gradually going out of fashion. However, at Paris Fashion Week Autumn - Winter 2021–2022, several fashion houses (Balmain, Jil Sander) presented delicate, feminine and romantic looks with pleated skirts and dresses and pleated midi and maxi dresses.

We wear such dresses with ankle boots, square-toed boots, with loafers, mules, chelsea, ballet shoes that are back in fashion. One of the styling options is with jackets with a sharp shoulder line, which became fashionable for the Spring-Summer 2021 season.

4. Quilted dresses

Quilted coats in noble neutral shades, relevant last season, are a long-running trend for several years, but designers in the Fall-Winter 2021-2022 fashion season offer more interesting options: short hunting quilted jackets, quilted bomber jackets, dresses, quilted vests, bright quilted hoodies and sweatshirts. The most interesting and non-trivial model from the Max Mara show is a quilted dress. Designers offer similar options with mirror shine, bright neon colors, pastel candy and caramel shades.

You can combine such a bright, accent piece with simple laconic T-shirts, knitwear, for example, with turtlenecks, a hoodie and sweatshirt, a trench coat and a jacket.

5. Minimalism in the style of Jil Sander

All Jil Sander collections are distinguished by a simple noble cut, impeccable minimalism, high-quality expensive textures, accessories and materials. The brand's designers give preference to images in a single color scheme, more often in beige, nude, caramel, nude shades. In the Autumn - Winter 2021–2022 season, perfect cut suits and coats made of eco-leather and wool, simple knitted bodysuits and skirts of the original cut are presented. We are primarily interested in dresses. Jil Sander dresses made of eco-leather, cotton, elegant cut.

Combine everything the same way - with derby, chelsea, loafers, ankle boots, wide boots, preferably to match the dress, to create a mono-bow, tractor-soled boots, and to go out with Manolo Blahnik style shoes, mules, classic pumps and sandals.

6. Dresses made of absolutely transparent fabric

Impractical, bold, defiant and shocking.

The mini dresses that came into fashion in the Spring-Summer 2021 season are replaced by dresses made of the most transparent fabric. Jane Birkin suggests forgetting about the bra. However, to go out (and generally on the street) in real life, it is better to wear a crop top, bra, corset, peplum, vest or jacket, trench coat, or vary the degree of transparency that is acceptable for oneself, remembering that fashion houses demonstrate hypertrophied version of the trend, and in everyday life, sometimes a hint of a trend is enough.

It is quite difficult to fit such dresses into the wardrobe, but it is possible.

7. Ballerina dresses, puffy tulle skirts, tutu dresses

The pandemic and self-isolation, full of lockdowns in Europe and America, inevitably influenced world fashion - 2020 was the year of the lingerie style in clothes (cozy home pajamas both in the feast and in the world). Bloggers and street stylers everywhere wore joggers, hoodies, sweatshirts, birken stocks, clogs, Patrow sandals, crocs and uggs, sneakers and sneakers. The expected reaction is the appearance in 2021 of exaggerated girlish dresses from fashion houses.

So Nicolas Ghesquière (Louis Vuitton) presented at the show in Paris fluffy skirts and dresses with frills, which are proposed to be worn with bomber jackets with voluminous sleeves, as well as chain mail dresses - to be worn with oversized jackets. In general, in order for the image with a princess dress to look relevant and modern, it is better to play on the contrast of rough and delicate, masculine and feminine, and wear similar dresses with rough shoes, suede, leather and oversized cut jackets, leather jackets, coats and vests, for example , for sports style looks.

In a less exaggerated version, princess dresses will fit perfectly into the wardrobe.

8. Fashion for the early 2000s (lingerie style and micro dresses in the style of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton)

Following the 90s, zeroes are back in fashion with micro shorts, bras, crop tops, lingerie-style dresses, sequins, feathers and rhinestones, guipure, lace. Dresses in extreme length mini with cutouts and slits. How to wear such splendor in the conditions of the Russian winter? Very dosed, with an eye on New Year's Eve, remembering that the mass market and, above all, H&M and Inditex adapt trends to the conditions of Russian reality.

nine.Ultra-wide, oversized sleeves and shoulders

The larger and grotesque the volume of the shoulders and sleeves, the more fragile and delicate a girl looks in such a dress, regardless of height and parameters. The very long-term trend set by Balenciaga (and the ugly fashion trend, the trend for "ugly fashion") repeats on the catwalks from season to season, changing slightly. Sleeves in 2022 are similar to puffs and flashlights at Dior, or tight, devoid of gathers and bends, as in Dolche & Gabbana, airy and full-length - at Balenciaga, Ulla Johnson.

It remains only to choose the style and style that suits you, and boldly adapt it to life and to your wardrobe.

10. Crochet lace, folk style dresses

The Isabel Marant collection features a mix of felt, jersey, suede with guipure, lace, velvet, and sequins. Ethnic, freedom-loving motives of the dresses are supported by Etro designers. You can stylize dresses in natural and ethnic styles with ponchos and capes, a basic sand-colored coat, a biker jacket with a fringe, a saddle bag, Cossacks, Chelsea. These dresses are suitable for girls who like boho styles, natural dressing styles, and 70s fashion.

It can be introduced into everyday wardrobes, used as stylization for photo shoots.



There are a lot of dresses in the new Autumn-Winter 2021-2022 season, it remains to choose the right one and fit it into the wardrobe.
