The big story for spring summer is nudity in dresses!

The girly girl, sugary sweet short dresses are back with a bang. Designers dresses from runway shows had overlapping elements of feminine ruffles, sheer fabrics, short hemlines and pastel colors. The use of white colors, in shirt dresses especially, will represent one of the main seasonal trends in sack-style dresses and silk fabrics. Feathers continue to add allure to otherwise simple dresses and quite honestly feathers are best kept to evening dresses; you don’t want to be attacked by a bird during the day!
The sack dresses trend may just save some us from’ bearing all’ in those short dresses. Women everywhere can release a sigh of relief that the simple sack dresses are one of spring’s hottest trends, taking inspiration from the designer dresses on runways of Bottega Veneta. These styles of summer dresses which skim the figure are elegant, comfortable and breathable.

Lastly ladies, another major trend’ the trench coat- sees itself morphing into a style of dress. Taking inspiration from Burberry’s runway designer dresses and Fendi’s designer dresses, trench dresses are a wonderful spring addition to anyone’s wardrobe! In mostly, nude colors, the trench style dresses look incredibly sexy and feminine while at the same time can be toughened up with dark accessories, for an edgier, raw look.
