2020 has been anything but casual. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look stylish for your zoom dates and socially distanced events. The following casual dress styles are hot right now and will still look good when you can finally get out and show them off in person!
Cut it Out
Cutout dresses are very in right now and there is a look for everyone. There are front cut-outs, which can give the illusion of separate pieces. Back cutouts make for a sexy surprise and come in all sorts of dress styles. Side cutouts are less common but really stand out in a crowd. It’s a great way to show a little skin in a full-length dress, though they come in all lengths and styles.
Sweater Dress
Sweater dresses come in all lengths, fits and fabrics. The neckline can vary from plunging to turtle. You can belt it with ankle boots for a classic, comfortable look, or dress it up with heels and an elegant scarf for the holidays.
Body Con
This form-fitting number can seem intimidating and make anyone with a body feel like a con. You’re not alone. Start by making sure you have seamless undergarments that don’t add any lines. The most important element is confidence. You can add a fur vest or oversized jacket if you’re a bit nervous when first trying this look.
Mini, Midi, Maxi
Each of these dresses is having a moment and deserve some space in your closet. Mini dresses are easy to grab and go and perfect for date night or brunch with friends. Midi dresses are the perfect dress to take you from daytime work to a night out without having to stop to change. Maxi dresses used to be more formal but now come in more casual styles that are great for a weekend stroll downtown.
Ruffle Some Feathers
Ruffles aren’t just for little girls, though they can add a nice youthful element to your style. There are many casual dresses that add this detail for a touch of femininity and vintage sweetness. The placement of the ruffles can really make them work in your favour. Some wide ruffles across the bust can enhance your chest. Vertical ruffles are often slimming on all body types. Ruffles along the bottom of a dress will add volume and flow and are often the choice of women with larger hips to balance their frame.
Wrap It Up
The wrap style is a great casual look. You can find them in long, belted with bold prints or mini wrapped vest dresses. These dresses are truly flattering for everyone. The wrap detail accentuates your bust without overpowering. The a-line slims your hips in a casual but definite effect.
Asymmetrical
An asymmetrical dress brings the perfect amount of dramatic detail to a casual dress. All asymmetrical hemlines are not the same. It can be high-low, though those are not as trendy as they were a few years ago. Now, look for those that are longer on the sides, or longer on one side. Many are flowy but there are also asymmetrical options that are sharp and tight-fitting.
Wide Leg Jumpsuit
While not technically a dress, jumpsuits are far too popular to leave off this list entirely. The long, wide-leg options are casual and fashionable. This is a perfect choice to women who aren’t exactly comfortable in dresses but want to branch out from their typical slacks and update their wardrobe. Like the wrap dress, the right jumpsuit can slim you by cinching at the waist or you can always add a belt.
