You can hardly imagine a more feminine outfit than an airy, almost weightless chiffon sundress. This fabric invariably emphasizes the sophistication and natural grace of a beautiful lady. Being one of the favorite materials in the haute couture industry, chiffon reigns supreme on the catwalks and red carpets, but sundresses are increasingly falling from the pages of glossy fashion magazines straight to the streets of cities. Light, transparent, not hindering movement - a chiffon sundress has every chance of becoming a must have for the coming summer.

Models
A variety of choice of models of chiffon sundresses will allow a fashionista with any figure to choose the right option for herself. In the new season, many designers, who do not recognize any compromises, leave the right to exist only for sundresses in two lengths - ultramini or "to the floor". However, no one bothers to take a closer look at the midi models that will never go out of fashion. A tea-length skirt is equally relevant in your free time, in a business dress code, and at a party.

Strict monochromatic sundresses or complex combinations of pleats with ruffles and appliqués with frills - there is sure to be a demand for every offer. Depending on the peculiarities of the figure and the specifics of the place where the outfit is considered, you can choose between bare shoulders, free of straps, and a model with a provocative V-neck, combined with thin graceful shoulder straps. There are models that are perfect for an evening out - with flying skirts, stand-up collars, decorated for every taste.

Length
Regardless of how radically short or aristocraticly elongated the sundress will be, the fundamental trend for all time is airiness and femininity.

In this case, the model "on the floor" will be recognized as a classic of the genre.It is amazing that the fabric, which is designed to hide the figure, in fact, only emphasizes its dignity and adds piquancy to the image. A girl in a floor-length sundress looks mysterious and seductive, from the slightest movement of hers she literally blows a flair of sexuality with hints of slight understatement. The free contour of the sundress readily responds to any breath of the warm summer breeze and tenderly "hugs" the body of its owner, adding graceful relaxedness and natural magnetism to her.

At the other end of the "line" there are short sundresses, above the knee. Frank, provocative, plainly declaring the girl's confidence in her own strength, sense of style and beauty. And let the fact that such sundresses are sewn from weightless and almost transparent chiffon does not stop fashionistas - playful layering and combined structures come to the rescue.

Fashion trends
It is sometimes quite difficult to keep track of the whims of fashion, but in the case of chiffon sundresses, there is probably no point in looking for a certain clearly outlined trend. The sundress can be either a free cut or with a tight-fitting bodice, either with graceful straps or in a “bustier” variation. Besides, chiffon is a very “friendly” material, it goes well with lace, sequins or sequins.

For several years now, chiffon sundresses with a high waistline have not lost their relevance. This style visually increases the length of the slender legs. And if a lady does not want to give up a spectacular and comfortable outfit, even preparing for the main sacrament in the life of any woman, the high waist of a sundress will be an excellent choice for pregnancy.

Experts in the fashion world call one of the latest trends the V-neckline, which flows smoothly and naturally into the straps. At the same time, the straps themselves can be either of a classic shape, or gracefully intertwined on the back. Previously, such straps were an attribute of school sundresses for girls, but this unusual solution found its place on the catwalks. The Y-shaped strip of fabric running down from the neck down the spine contains everything from deliberate modesty to defiant defenselessness.

Types of fabric
Chiffon has always been considered a symbol of weightless lightness and elegant sophistication. Airy and transparent, this fabric has long and firmly occupied one of the leading lines in the list of the most demanded materials by tailors and designers.

But, despite all the “ethereality” and weightlessness of chiffon, things made from this fabric can be worn not only on a hot summer day or in the evening, but almost all year round. This is made possible by the wide variety of chiffon varieties that are present on the contemporary fashion scene. Here are just a few of them:
- chiffon with the addition of lurex - a luxurious, shiny fabric created especially for evening dresses;
- chiffon shangzhan - an ultra-thin material, the highlight of which is the texture with reflective properties;
- jacquard chiffon - smooth to the touch, completely devoid of "trademark" transparency, but at the same time dense and practical, low-crease material;
- coupon chiffon is a fabric that was originally used for interior decoration, but has also found its application in the wardrobe (a one-piece sundress made of coupon chiffon attracts attention - the pattern on the fabric compensates for the simplicity of the cut, turning it into a dignity).

Color and print
Chiffon sundresses are "friendly" with any color. The craziest color combinations are just as appropriate and acceptable as strict monochrome solutions. The playful texture of the fabric itself sets the basic mood, the color of the outfit only emphasizes it, sets the necessary accents. Classic white and black are always in fashion.

Who is it suitable for and where to wear it?
Chiffon itself is ideal for the most daring experiments, while it is completely self-sufficient. A sundress made of this material is suitable both for a young graduate or student who is going to a cafe with friends or picking up an outfit for a party in a club, and for a stylish woman who knows a lot about accessories and gravity.

What to wear with?
Weightless chiffon sundresses will flawlessly complement any look. The outfit for every day is a sundress with a pair with a denim sleeveless jacket and bright ballet flats. To go to the beach, add a wide-brimmed hat and strappy sandals to your sundress. Flat sole or wedge - at the discretion of the lady. As an evening look, a chiffon sundress is great in combination with a clutch bag and high heels. If pumps or shoes with an open toe and a larger handbag are more appropriate, an organza scarf tied to a strap will add elegance to the accessory.

The elegant aristocracy is emphasized by a monochromatic color scheme. Above the belt, the sundress evokes associations with ancient Greek femme fatale, and the cold shine of shoes, a handbag and a bracelet adds to the modern look.
