Natural “breathable” fabric, along with cotton and linen, is ideal for the summer season. Light flowing waves of chiffon allow designers to create unique feminine models. Sundresses, dresses, blouses, multi-layered skirts - all this exists in a huge variety of shapes and colors.
In this material we will talk about how to choose the right chiffon dress and what to combine it with.
Interesting features
Chiffon fabric is never shiny: the natural material has a grainy, rough surface and is produced by airy weaving of fibers.
Casual outfits are usually made from mixed fabrics combined with cotton. Fabric with the addition of silk threads is considered expensive: it is only suitable for evening wear.
Chiffon fabric is one of the best bases for decorating with bows and lace, as well as sequins, rhinestones and crystals. With its help, clothes can be draped in the most complex way, achieving smooth and feminine lines.
Cotton-based fabrics are strong, durable, and easy to care for, while chiffon-polyester fabrics will not last very long and are not very pleasant to wear.
Styles: past and present
Mid-length styles and luxurious long dresses with a wide belt under the bust are winning options for plus-size women. Thin girls will suit multi-layered full skirts (inverted triangle body type).
Forget about skimpy short dresses that look like they were stolen from a children's theater prop. They are not relevant and extremely inappropriate, just like the pretentious styles of maximum length, mercilessly embroidered with rhinestones, which wedding salons still offer.
An appropriate length, a minimum of decor and a solid, correctly selected shade are the best tips for summer 2021.
Forget for a moment about the “Chopin skirt” of the ballerina, which was extremely popular 2-3 years ago. A monochromatic multi-layered midi tutu and a short denim jacket are pretty boring.
Both the streets and catwalks are tired of the multi-layered chiffon skirt: replace it with a pleated model in a light, rich tone.
For thin girls with narrow shoulders, we advise you to choose a model with flounces or ruffles in the neckline and exposed collarbones.
How not to go wrong with the quality of fabric
Online stores and mass market counters are full of inexpensive offers of chiffon dresses. You should definitely be wary of the low cost of the product; most likely, this is a fake made of 100% polyester or other synthetic fiber, which in appearance resembles natural chiffon.
Are you planning to sew a dress from your own selected material?
It is possible to verify its authenticity. If you set fire to a piece of natural material, it will quickly burn, filling the room with the smell of burnt feathers, and the synthetic analogue will take a long time to melt, emitting a suffocating plastic smell.

Tips for luxury ladies
The following tips will help plump ladies emphasize the femininity and beauty of their forms:
- choose a medium-length outfit with a defined waistline;
- pay attention to multi-layer flared models: they will hide what is unnecessary and emphasize what is necessary;
- your best choice: deep, rich solid colors;
- drapery in the décolleté area is acceptable;
- a high waist and an A-line dress will harmonize and visually hide fullness.
The trapezoidal cut is still relevant for you, as is the medium-sized floral print. For a casual summer dress, we suggest choosing a below-the-knee a-line with short sleeves and a medium-sized floral pattern in 3-4 shades.
For an evening out, there is no better style than the classic Empire style with a high waist.

Pros of wool dresses
Women's wool dresses are popular all over the world, especially in countries with cool climates. This success of these products is explained by a number of advantages - they are:
- have excellent warming qualities;
- keep their shape perfectly (do not wrinkle);
- are not inclined to get dirty;
- are able to emphasize the advantages of the figure;
- can come in a variety of silhouettes.
Colors, prints and patterns
Gone are the hippie and boho-style ornaments that filled the Internet space. Brown, swamp or rusty backgrounds, on which small flowers bloomed in a dull color and bright stars flashed, are no longer in trend.
The best print of 2021 is its complete absence. Pastel pink, peach and soft blue do not need additional patterns - they represent spring and tenderness with the help of a loose fit.
Large tea roses against a background of green foliage can only be found in the Dolce & Gabbana collection, which is not surprising.
If a floral pattern is found in the collections of world couturiers, it acts more as a shadow than a contrast; it seems to be guessed or additionally enhances the main color, but does not create the feeling of a colored salad, which was typical of past seasons.
Long dress
Today, more and more women are choosing a long woolen dress. In winter, you can use it to create amazing images. In addition, it serves as reliable protection against low temperatures.
Floor-length models made of natural wool allow you to look elegant without sacrificing your own comfort. This material is suitable for ladies of any type. It will unobtrusively emphasize the curves of the figure and hide minor imperfections.
Examples of harmonious style
Blue. Deep and noble blue looks great on a straight-cut dress in the Greek style of maximum length with straps over one shoulder.
A high, but not pretentious hairstyle will suit the outfit.
White. A white, milky or beige chiffon dress is our recommendation for young girls.
The selected shades contrast well with tanned skin, which means that a light white outfit will be a godsend when preparing for the beach season.
Red. Choose a coral, muted red or dusty shade. Long, wavy locks that fall over bare shoulders compensate for the missing sleeves.
Wide straps, a boat neckline and maximum length are a good solution for an evening dress.
Green. Cold green harmonizes perfectly with Slavic appearance: light brown hair and fair skin.
An ultra-modern pleated skirt, a thin dark brown leather belt, flowing sleeves that slightly cover the elbow - your summer wardrobe will be replenished with an elegant new item.
Pastel shades. Be careful with powdery and pastel colors: lilac, blue, dusty rose, milky, beige, light pink. Chiffon dresses in these shades are suitable only for very young girls without aggressive makeup.
Pastel does not tolerate complex hairstyles and short styles.
Floral print. A rich print is acceptable and desirable for a beach option. The V-neckline, short sleeves and flared skirt will be complemented by a rich shade of yellow and images of juicy lemons.
To go out into the urban jungle, stick to calmer colors.
Polka dots. What can balance the black color, the most closed top, long sleeves at the cuff and a midi skirt?
Of course, white peas.
A short. A short length is quite a provocative idea if we are talking about a product made of light luminous material. Think about how you can balance the look: for example, the absence of prints on the fabric, discreet daytime makeup, accessories and shoes in beige tones.
Never combine a short chiffon outfit with a leather jacket like a biker jacket - this will instantly make you look cheap and vulgar.
Long. Flying fabrics transform a girl in a long dress or sundress into a revived goddess who descended from Olympus.
On the contrary, a short chiffon garment makes her a Malvina: the image becomes doll-like and unnatural.
With long sleeves. The 2021 trend is a loose flowing sleeve without cuffs, or, on the contrary, neatly gathered cuffs at the wrist with romantic flounces.
This option is acceptable for a cocktail or beach party, but not for formal events.
With short sleeves. Short sleeves compensate for the length of the dress. Flounce sleeves, dolman sleeves or discreet puffs are a great weekend choice.
Length.
Short.
Short crepe de Chine dresses are ideal for summer.
They are light, airy and look beautiful on girls of any age.
This is the perfect outfit for every day, for meeting a friend or on a date.
Midi.
Crepe midi dresses are perfect for office work.
By complementing this dress with a light jacket and pumps, you will get an excellent business look.
For every day, a midi dress made of flowing fabric with a floral print is suitable, which looks very cute and casual.
In summer you can wear a sundress with straps.
Thanks to the light but fairly dense texture of the fabric, the sundress turns out to be almost weightless and as comfortable as possible.
Long.
In summer, light maxi dresses in bright colors are very popular.
You can choose either a plain model or one with a large floral or geometric print.
It is ideal for a romantic date, shopping or a walk along the seashore.
We do not recommend
With the beginning of the millennium in the urban space of megacities, along with such an interior style as loft, a whole movement in urban fashion called casual appeared.
It combines wardrobe items that were previously unimaginable to be combined in one look. Over the years, this style has completely depersonalized city residents, doing this under the slogan “be different.”
Under the influence of relaxed casual, a terrible trend has matured: a deliberate combination of elegant and feminine with rough and vulgar in one outfit. First, on fashion catwalks, and after them on city streets, chiffon elements appeared, complete with rough boots with tractor soles, biker biker jackets with spikes and rivets.
In our opinion, a delicate dress can be complemented by a rough men's jacket with wide shoulders only if the man is escorting a girl home on a cool May evening and nothing else.
Evening
The Valentino collection features amazing styles that are not difficult to repeat if you need to go to an important special event.
Maximum closed models with a laconic boat neckline, fitted silhouettes, wide long puffed sleeves and maximum length are the distinctive features of these dresses.
In the Middle Ages, natural chiffon was a very expensive material, available only to rich ladies. In those days, chiffon outfits were worn on special occasions; in part, this tradition has been preserved to this day.
High-quality fabric, elegant colors and discreet cut from Valentino are preferable to chiffon “monsters” with rhinestones from wedding salons in provincial cities.
For expensive fabric and a laconic cut, you will need a minimal amount of jewelry and a light wavy hairstyle.
Wedding.
Their crepe de chine can be used to create an outfit of any style, but models with flowing skirts look most successful.
It can be either smooth crepe satin or airy crepe chiffon.
Rhinestones, embroidery, lace, etc. are used as decorative elements.
A crepe wedding dress looks very elegant and luxurious, it is ideal for both cold and warm seasons.
Properly complemented with stylish jewelry and accessories, it will make a real princess out of any bride!
We select shoes and accessories
Fashion bloggers convince us that a chiffon dress is appropriate under any circumstances and can be combined with almost any fabric.
Such judgments are far from the truth, if only for the following reasons:
- Business style does not allow transparent see-through fabrics, floral prints or pleating.
- Denim, suit fabric, genuine leather - vulgarize airy matter.
- Such an outfit is unlikely to be appropriate in a subway car, at a lecture, or during a work raid through hot streets.
- Transparent fabric exposing a naked body is inappropriate on winter days, unless we are talking about a party. Paired with a baggy coat, the delicate outfit turns into a clownish costume.
With an eye on this season's monochromatic looks, don't worry about complex accessories and decorations. Their task is to play along with the main theme without contradicting it. Look to nude and natural tones when choosing the color of your shoes and bags.
We don't recommend it. Forget about black leather accessories and gold jewelry - they can completely destroy the idea of a romantic outfit. Jackets, work trench coats, leather jackets, ankle boots and boots against the background of elegant fabric reveal a complete lack of taste.
Clutches with rounded edges should not be conspicuous by bright fittings, lacquered surfaces or the emphasis on the fact that the product is made of dragon skin.
Flesh-colored pumps, light low-heeled sandals without decoration, comfortable espadrilles are acceptable fashionable shoes.
Short dress
A short woolen dress is the adoration of many fashionistas. It can be worn with thick tights or leggings. It is appropriate to combine the outfit with jeans. You can create a variety of looks - just experiment with colors and decorations.
You can wear a thin sweater or blouse in contrasting shades under a sleeveless dress. Interesting outfits in ethno style.
Trends 2021
Finally, gone are the days of short minis, tight silhouettes and baby doll cuts! On fashion catwalks, loose styles with wide sleeves reminiscent of a kimono are presented.
And also: wide horizontal and vertical pleating, maximally closed silhouettes with romantic wavy cuffs and ruffles.
Monochromatic complex shades of light pink, coral, brick, gray-pink appeared like a breath of fresh air in the impersonal desert of urban style.
The trend is expensive natural fabric, a light, loose silhouette, no prints, patterns, rhinestones, or decorative elements. The remainder is only femininity, softness and naturalness.
The severity of black elongated pleated models disappears with the advent of a deep V-neckline.
