The trend of 2020 is a mixture of styles, so creativity is encouraged when choosing clothes for a girl. Beautiful dresses in the form of classic models will be appropriate in any case, regardless of the latest trends in fashion. The color scheme of clothing can be any - from monochromatic "strict" shades to bright floral prints.
How to choose material for a dress
A beautiful dress for a girl must be chosen not only in style and cut, following the latest fashion trends, but also for reasons of convenience. The fabric from which it is sewn must be skin-friendly and appropriate for the season.
The simple tips below will help you quickly decide on the choice of material for the dress:
| the cloth | Features: |
| Cotton | Cotton clothing is one of the most hygienic, breathable and non-perspiring. They are well washed, not picky about ironing modes, and clothes made from them are comfortable. The disadvantages include the fact that they can easily stretch and lose their shape, as well as wear out and lose their appearance over time. Cotton dresses are good for summer wear. |
| Denim | Very tough and durable, practically wrinkle-free and does not require special care. Dresses made from it are appropriate at any time of the year, but they will be hot in summer. Jeans clothes can be considered as a casual, "work" option. |
| Flannel | Very pleasant to the touch, soft and warm fabric. Good for cold weather clothing. But it can look a little old-fashioned, so dresses made from it are best worn at home or as a casual outfit. Flannel clothing received its "rebirth" in the 80s-90s. XX century, in the era of grunge rock. |
| Wool and mohair | Very warm fabrics that are suitable for dresses for autumn and winter. However, some people are allergic to natural wool, which can lead to discomfort when wearing, itching and even a rash. |
| Linen | An excellent fabric for a summer dress that breathes well in hot weather. It is also suitable for boho garments. The disadvantages include a poor color scheme, as well as the fact that dresses from it wrinkle easily and require delicate washing. |
| Silk | One of the most expensive natural fabrics. It has existed since the days of Ancient China. A very smooth, silky and shiny material that makes great summer lightweight, flowing dresses. |
| Nylon | Invented as a synthetic replacement for silk. It is an inexpensive, washable material. Most often used for sewing party and evening dresses |
| Polyester | Also a synthetic material that looks like a natural one. Clothing made of it is inexpensive, durable and does not require special care, practically does not wrinkle at all. Such fabric does not allow air to pass through well, therefore, for everyday wear, preference should still be given to natural materials. However, for the "flying" hem of an elegant dress, this does not really matter. |
| Satin | The appearance is smooth, silky, flowing material on a natural basis. It closely resembles an atlas. Dresses made of it are comfortable to wear, as they allow air to pass through well, hardly wrinkle and drape well. Due to its high decorative qualities, this fabric is used for sewing elegant and festive dresses. |
An equally important factor when choosing a material is the purpose of the dress: everyday, weekend or festive.
Selection by color
Dresses for girls can be of a variety of colors.
The following colors are a classic, safe bet:
- White. He personifies innocence, purity and other bright associations. White blends well with other colors, creating stylish contrasts. This color is good for summer light dresses, but other colors are better for everyday wear.
- The black - "traditional" color for evening dresses, symbolizing femininity and elegance. To keep it from looking too dark in everyday wear, the dress should be adorned with contrasting trims such as cuffs or a collar.
- Red - very catchy, even provocative color. In psychology and culture, it also symbolizes passion and love. Dresses made from it are suitable for cocktail parties.
- Green - the color of calmness and poise. In dresses, it goes well with black and white. The green outfit can be both casual (darker shades) and festive.
A beautiful dress for a girl can be selected taking into account the following popular options in 2020:
- Floral print... If in previous years small motifs were used, now large, voluminous exotic flowers and buds that are found in tropical forests are in fashion.
- Solid color dresses with applique patterns and embroidery in a floristic, bright style. Large brooches in the form of roses and orchids are also welcome.
- Contrasts smoky blue and burgundy colors in clothes.
- Vintage Dresses in small peas or a combination of large and small peas of different colors.
- Peach colour, which, along with white, is associated with tenderness and girlhood.
It is necessary to pay attention that if the dress has a bright floral print, then in this case you need to do with a minimum of discreet accessories, otherwise you will get a too “flashy” image.
Select by shape type
For overweight girls, figure flaws can be hidden with the help of a dress style that gradually expands downward, as well as with a high waist under the chest. Focusing on the upper part with ruffles will help to visually shift attention away from the abdomen and hips.
Styles of dresses with puffy skirts are more appropriate at a younger age.
At the age of 14-16, a girl is no longer a child, but still not a woman, so you can allow some "liberties" in a cut that will not look ridiculous - dresses with petticoats that add a little volume, frills and ruffles, but they are better suited for a holiday with friends or for an informal party.
A beautiful dress is quite difficult to choose for a girl with a slender figure: with excessive thinness, it is better to give preference to models with an average length, as well as with closed shoulders and collarbones, so that protruding bones are not visible. A wide, loose cut, which looks baggy and emphasizes the lack of weight, will be inappropriate.
A dress for very thin girls should give additional volume in the chest and hips, and a fitted cut should emphasize the sophistication and fragility of the figure. A wide skirt slightly below the knees, as well as models with layered chiffon, give the hips a rounder shape and a romantic look.
Choosing a dress for the season
In cold weather, preference should be given to dresses made of woolen, corduroy, dense knitwear or suit fabrics with a more strict cut. The trend of the season, which wanders from year to year, is multi-layered clothing, so it would be appropriate to wear a cardigan and a jacket over a warm short dress. The last option looks especially elegant.
During the off-season, you can wear other fashionable ensembles: a knitted gray dress with narrow straps, under which a turtleneck or a model made of denim is worn. When paired with black tights and sneakers, it looks very trendy and stylish. This outfit is suitable for both everyday wear and family holidays.
A corduroy dress with three-quarter sleeves can be worn for special occasions. Solid, neutral colors are combined with other, brighter garments or accessories.
As for summer dresses, almost any model and color will be appropriate here. The classic option is a white cotton dress that can also be worn to a cocktail party. Fashion trends of light dresses in 2020 are asymmetry and a combination of bright colors.
Dress length
Short dresses have been very popular with teenagers for many decades. But they only look good on girls with slender long legs. If you are too thin, it is better to pay attention to the models of greater length. For those who have wide hips or a tummy, mini dresses with a high waistline are suitable.
Long models to the ankle or to the floor will suit almost any girl, as they visually slim the figure. With a short stature, dresses with a length just below the knee will also look good. In combination with high heels, this outfit will make the figure more elongated.
A beautiful dress for a girl with a midi length is considered a universal option. This model is suitable for almost all occasions and is always in fashion. Unlike mini, it is more comfortable, because you don't have to worry about the "superfluous" opening when the girl sits down or bends over.
Also, an unnecessarily long hem will not interfere, as it happens when wearing maxi models.
Medium knee length helps conceal wide hips while maintaining feminine proportions. However, if an active girl prefers to wear sports shoes (sneakers) with a dress, then it should be short.
In summer, too revealing outfits are not recommended. For the rest, the choice is only for the girl's taste, because, according to one of the most famous stylists in Hollywood, Rachel Zoey, style is a way to express who you really are without words.
For several seasons in a row, the interest in long dresses and sundresses has not waned among fashion designers. The notion that a short dress looks sexier is nothing more than a stereotype. The maxi dress allows the girl to be as stylish as the mini. For each type of figure, you can choose your own model of a long dress.
Everyday dresses
Among the fashion trends in casual clothes for teenage girls in 2020, the following can be distinguished:
- Oversized dresses with loose fit. Models with an asymmetrical bottom are especially popular. In the cold season, such dresses can be made of dense knitwear and with a neckline like a sweater. The asymmetry in the cut allows you to look more original. You can also bare any part of the body, while the overall image will not be too provocative and go beyond what is permitted.
- Straight polo dress with short sleeves and a tailored collar. This is a more comfortable option for everyday wear, which is most often made from knitwear. In order to make the look more interesting, you can choose a model with buttons on the chest and a belt of a different color.
- Tunic dresses. Knitted models with long sleeves are suitable for winter and autumn. In the summer version, it is better to choose knitted and cotton dresses. Together with them, leggings and sneakers will be appropriate.
- One of the most daring ideas of 2020 is sundress with straps of various prints and colors. Also, models with flared skirts do not lose their relevance in youth fashion. A more extravagant option is a dress with a cutout at the waist.
- Sheath dress, which is a great option for everyday wear to school. The cutout in the upper part can be of different shapes - rectangular, round, V-shaped. Such a dress favorably emphasizes a good figure and suits slender girls. A model with a bottom length to the calf should be combined with shoes with small heels.
- Summer bandeau dresses, with a tight fit and bare shoulders. They can also be draped with asymmetrical elements. In the beach version, striped knitted bandeau dresses are fashionable.
- Dresses in grunge style (this trend in fashion arose in parallel with rock music of the 80s of the XX century) and retro with a low waist and strict silhouettes.
New models and styles of elegant dresses
The most popular in 2020 are the following models of elegant dresses:
- White lace dress with a low slit in the middle of the hem. It is preferable to choose a cut with soft flounces and smooth cut lines. The bottom of the dress can also focus on the weightless chiffon. Dresses with a light train, decorated with beads and sequins are suitable for special occasions. A simpler option could be a white dress using prints in an ethnic or bright floral style.
- Lingerie-style dresses (in the form of a nightgown) are one of the most controversial trends in modern fashion. They go well with shirts, sweaters and even tracksuits. This look allows you to stand out and is not suitable for everyday wear. Thin straps, silk or satin fabric, translucent texture are the new trends in youth fashion in autumn 2020.
- High-waisted dress with asymmetry on one shoulder, puffy hem and accent inserts.
- A lace dress that looks good on girls with a fragile physique. The summer version can be more open - with bare shoulders and arms. These dresses are most often worn in a single color.
- A beautiful babydoll dress for a girl that creates a "doll look". Such models have not been popular for the first season, but it must be borne in mind that this specific cut and image is not suitable for everyone and not for all occasions.
- Pink dresses in a minimalist, cowboy style. In cold weather, such clothes go well with high boots. Also popular is a small floral print for summer country models.
Evening tight dresses
Evening dresses for teenage girls in 2020 are made in deep, rich colors or gentle and natural pastel shades. One of the trending colors is purple and dark blue matte satin, embellished with embroidery. Some fashion designers call blue the royal color and the color of mysticism.
The following types of models are also in fashion:
- Elegant red maxi dresses in scarlet and ruby tones, decorated with delicate lace. The cut can also be made with voluminous sleeves and a small drapery on the chest, and the hem is decorated with pleated pleats or voluminous dynamic ruffles.
- Layered chiffon dresses with embroidery and accent off the shoulders. Such models look even more airy due to slightly corrugated folds. The neckline of the dress is made with soft drapery and asymmetric beaded decor in the form of a floral motif.
- Fitted blue satin dresses with stylized necklines and sleeves, embellished with ruffles and embroidery. A little frivolity to such a conservative image is given by the cutout on the back of the dress, which exposes the back.
- The classic cut of black evening dresses in 2020 is highlighted with long sleeves and voluminous embroidery. The severity of such a model is also minimized by using fringes. The minimalist solution of the tight dress is embodied in black satin and thin straps.
Fashion for teenage girls is currently controversial and combines both romanticism and loose fit, as well as practicality. A beautiful dress must be selected depending on the situation in which it is to be worn and, based on the characteristics of the figure and personal preferences.
As a casual wear, sporty style is in vogue - a short dress combined with sneakers or models with a free cut. For special occasions, there are practically no restrictions - from ultra-trendy and extravagant lingerie style to strict classics.
