Long sleeve evening dresses
The beginning of summer entails the emergence of a desire for all girls to bare their arms, shoulders and slightly open their legs. Bustier dresses are becoming a hit. But the onset of the autumn-winter period is forcing women of fashion to change open and revealing outfits for models with long sleeves. Even evening dresses are becoming more closed. The variety of styles and styles makes it less strict and formal. There are even models in which the essence of the sleeves is not to warm the outfit, but to decorate it. The sleeves are original, the designers have tried their best here.
Short and mini
Several seasons have passed, and short dresses with sleeves of different lengths still do not go out of fashion trends. Each new model is unique and not at all like everything that you have seen before.
Any reason can be used to go out in your new, unrealistically fashionable mini-dress with closed shoulders and arms: friendly gatherings, fiery parties, celebration. In this case, it is not necessary that the sleeve goes down to the wrist, you can choose with a length of three quarters or generally transparent.
A short model of such a dress can be used as a tunic for trousers, selected in accordance with the style and color. At the same time, the model can have a fluffy skirt or asymmetrical bottom. Any short model is well suited for young girls who boast a good, slim figure and beautiful legs.
See how seductive miniature dresses look, in which the back is open, and the shoulders and arms, on the contrary, are closed under the fabric of the dress. In this case, the depth of the cut and the shape depends on modesty.
For those who are not afraid of shiny outfits, the designers have prepared elegant options embroidered with sequins of various colors.
Short with one sleeve
To form an unusual look with a touch of exoticism, a miniature dress, in which only one hand is closed, is best suited. Their variety allows notorious fashionistas to roam freely. Style and romance are embodied in unusual designs that can serve as a casual outfit, going out or meeting friends at the nearest cafe.
Stylish midi models
In the 70s, strict models were very fashionable, in which a sleeve was present.
Modern designers used those fashion trends as a muse, which helped them create real masterpiece clothes:
- the most closed models, in which the long sleeve is combined with various variations of the neck and neckline;
- by Diane von Fürstenberg, wrap models were presented;
- bright accents were set by Marc Jacobs;
- laconic models of a sheath dress with a midi length and sleeves with a certain bulk are still relevant;
- midi dresses with a closed top and a fluffy skirt look unusual, romantic and new.
Floor-length dresses with chiffon sleeves
Floor-length outfits are as always relevant. The latest trend was chiffon sleeves, because they are filled with femininity.
They are more suitable for the summer version, but no one forbids all beautiful ladies to be beautiful in autumn and winter. Sorry for the pun. And parties with special holidays are also often held in the winter. For winter options, fashion designers offer models with set-in chiffon sleeves. They add mystery and sophistication to the dress.
Floor-length models with sleeves made of thick fabric
Long dresses, in which the top is closed, created from dense fabrics, can also be quite elegant and very beautiful. Pick up any collection of evening wear presented by renowned designers.
Thick fabrics enriched with rich hues and metallic effect are simply created to create a maxi-length skirt that connects to the long sleeves. Such an outfit will warm and at the same time allow you to maintain the style to which you are accustomed. Lace with a large pattern may well be present in such decoration, diluting comfort with elegance.
Models with openwork sleeves
Lace has always been associated with thin, delicate frills and a translucent, almost weightless fabric. Having reached modern fashionistas and designers, it has not changed its essence, transforming into new images. For any time and season, a lace floor-length dress with closed arms is suitable.
For this image to be successful, you should pay attention to the details:
- the cloth;
- cut details;
- decorative elements.
If a summer outfit is chosen, then the fabric is necessarily translucent, and the length reaches the knees. With the onset of winter, as well as during the demi-season period, dense lace becomes relevant and even often with the addition of woolen fiber.
When else, if not in cold weather, you can combine translucent lace motifs and cold shades. Feel free to choose a blue or light blue fabric with an openwork effect - your look will be impressive. And if you also choose a straight silhouette and add details to it (a richly decorated belt or an expressive neckline), then no one dares to reproach you for an insufficiently feminine image.
As for the style, tight-fitting dresses are a very successful and common option. Sheath dresses and tunics with a straight cut, in which lace is the basic element, have become classics.
How transparent the dress will be depends only on the time of year, time of day and the courage that you allow yourself in choosing outfits. For example, let's take a regular guipure dress. During the day it will look good with a dress-lining to the floor, and in the evening it can take on a more frank performance.
For an official event
Formal receptions require a strict dress code, but this is not an excuse to give up elegance. This situation makes dresses with long sleeves more relevant than ever. The best color choices are dark, deep shades, but not necessarily black. Let this color remain for men, and there are many other suitable variations for women.
For example, shades that mimic precious stones. Emerald with its characteristic richness, sapphire, which beckons with mystery, or ruby - the choice of courageous women.
As for the cut, the straight line is an unfading classic that can be diluted with bold and original design solutions: draperies, very small lace inserts, sparkling beads. Don't be afraid of layered skirts.
Solemnity is not a reason for choosing formal outfits. Let the base be a straight dress, and the neckline is deep and V-shaped. On a dark fabric, a little light and sparkle in the form of sequins will make your look expressive, but not vulgar.
Long Sleeve Evening Dresses for Mature Ladies
Age should not be a hindrance to beautiful images, although every year it becomes more difficult to be perfect. If you follow certain rules, then at 50 you can be a style icon and an example to follow. One of these mandatory rules is the need to cover problem areas of the body with elegant details. The shoulders and arms are the first areas that time does not spare. Fortunately, long-sleeved dresses were invented by forward-thinking designers.
Dark and saturated colors will add brightness to a fading appearance. Black has always been and will remain in fashion, which carries elegance and confidence.
Maturity is not a reason for being strict and utterly laconic. Pure black fabric, not diluted with other shades, without decor, which brings light and brightness, will be boring. A black fabric with beige lace inserts is a go-to for a modern lady.
Let's draw a line - long sleeves have always been and will be relevant in any style, for any celebration and of course at any time of the year. Modern designers are in no hurry to abandon this topic and throw it into the long box of the obsolete past. It is the sleeves that serve as a good solution for dress decoration, protection from the cold and hide problem areas.
Dresses with long sleeves in the evening version are still rare, but in vain. They add mystery to the image and add a touch of charm.
