When spring/summer 2022 hit the runways back in September, we couldn’t wait to share the hottest new styles. With a special place in our hearts for dresses, we knew that this year had plenty of new offerings that we’d desperately want to try. After a good few seasons of repeating dress trends—puff sleeves, smock dresses and wrap dresses, to name a few—summer 2022 is all about new shapes. And finally, it’s time to show them off.
Hemlines have hiked up this year. Naked dresses aren’t just for red carpets anymore. The coolest designers are doing very clever and covetable things with draping. There’s also some evolution of the classics: The knitted dress is getting a slimmer-fit and ribbed (it has to be ribbed) upgrade; the mini, which has been gaining traction for a couple of seasons, is well and truly here to stay. And brides-to-be are in luck: Pretty white dresses are back on the agenda in a big way.
We could go on about the reasons we’re loving the new major and micro dress trends for days, but for the purposes of keeping things top-line, we’ve picked the five we think are the most trending styles. Keep scrolling to find out more, and shop the trends now.
