The beginning of summer entails the desire of all girls to expose their arms, shoulders and open legs. Bustier dresses become a hit. But the onset of the autumn-winter period forces fashionistas to change open and frank outfits for long-sleeved models. Even evening dresses become more closed. A variety of styles and styles makes it not so strict and official. There are even models in which the essence of the sleeve is not to warm the outfit, but to decorate it. Sleeves should not be original, the designers here did their best.
Short and mini
Several seasons have passed, and short dresses with sleeves of various lengths still do not go out of fashion trends. Each new model is unique and completely unlike everything that you had to see before.
Any occasion can be used to come out in your new, unbelievably fashionable mini-dress with closed shoulders and arms: friendly gatherings, fiery parties, a celebration. It is not necessary that the sleeve descends to the wrist, you can choose with a length of three quarters or even 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 may have a fluffy skirt or an asymmetrical hem. Any short model is well suited for young girls who can boast of a good, slim figure and beautiful legs.
Look how seductive miniature dresses look, in which the back is open, and the shoulders and arms, in contrast, 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 brilliant dresses, designers have prepared elegant options embroidered with sequins of various colors.
Short with one sleeve
A miniature dress in which only one hand is closed is best suited to form an unusual image with a touch of exoticism. Their diversity allows you to roam plenty of ardent fashionistas. Style and romance are embodied in unusual models that can serve as an everyday outfit, go out or to meet friends in a nearby cafe.
Stylish midi models
In the 70s, strict models in which the sleeve was present were very fashionable.
Modern designers used those fashion trends as muses, which helped them create real masterpieces:
- maximum closed models in which a long sleeve is combined with various variations of the neck and neckline;
- from Diana von Furstenberg models were presented on the smell;
- bright accents set by Marc Jacobs;
- laconic models of a sheath dress with a midi length and sleeves with a certain volume remained all the same relevant;
- unusual, romantic and new look midi dresses with a closed top and a full skirt.
Chiffon Floor-Length Dresses
Outfits on the floor as always relevant. The latest trend was the model of chiffon with 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 prevailing pun. And parties with solemn holidays are also often held specifically for winter time. For winter options, fashion designers offer models with set-in chiffon sleeves. They give the dress mystery and sophistication.
Canvas Floor Models
Long dresses, in which the top is closed, created from dense fabrics, can also be quite elegant and very beautiful. Take any collection of evening dresses presented by famous designers.
Thick fabrics, enriched with rich shades and metallic effect, are simply created to create a maximum length skirt that connects to a long sleeve. This outfit will warm and at the same time allow you to maintain the style that you are used to. 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. Reaching 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 hands is suitable.
In order for this image to be successful, it is worth paying 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 in the demi-season, dense lace becomes actual, and even often with the addition of wool fiber.
When, if not in cold weather, you can combine translucent lace motifs and cold shades. Feel free to choose a blue or blue fabric with an openwork effect - your image 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 in an insufficiently feminine image no one dares to reproach you.
As for the style, tight-fitting dresses are a very successful and common option. Sheath dresses and tunics with a straight cut have become classics, in which lace is the basic element.
How transparent the dress will be depends only on the time of year, time of day, and the courage that you allow yourself to choose outfits. For example, take an ordinary guipure dress. During the day, it will look good with a dress-lining on the floor, and in the evening it can take a more frank performance.
For official event
Formal techniques require a strict dress code, but this does not serve as an excuse to give up elegance. This situation makes dresses with long sleeves more relevant than ever. Dark, deep shades are the best choice for color, but it will not necessarily be black. Let this color remain for men, and for women there are many other suitable variations.
For example, shades imitating gems. 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. Do not be afraid of layered skirts.
Solemnity is not a reason to choose strict outfits. Let the base be a straight dress, and the neckline deep and V-shaped. On dark fabric, a little light and sparkling in the form of sequins will make your look expressive, but not vulgar at all.
Long Sleeve Evening Dresses for Mature Ladies
Age should not be an obstacle to beautiful images, though every year it becomes more and more difficult to be ideal. If you follow certain rules, then at 50 you can be an icon of style and an example to follow. One of these mandatory rules is the need to cover the problem areas of the body with elegant details. Shoulders and arms are the first areas that time does not spare. Fortunately, dresses with long sleeves were invented by visionary designers.
Dark and saturated colors will add brightness to a withering appearance. Black has always been in fashion and will remain, which carries elegance and confidence.
Maturity is not a reason for rigor and utmost brevity. A pure black fabric, not diluted with other shades, without a decor that bears light and brightness, will be boring. Black fabric with beige inserts of lace motifs - a contemporary look for an aged lady.
To summarize - 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 in the long box of the obsolete past. It is the sleeves that serve as a good solution for dress decor, 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.
