Mini dress: The garment that will never stop being in fashion

The return of vintage fashions fills us with nostalgia as it reminds us of an exemplary garment that has accompanied us throughout the years and makes it clear that it is an elemental classic piece that you need to have in your wardrobe.

It was Coco Chanel who first introduced us to what would become the iconic Little Black Dress, she broke with the tradition of only wearing black when it came to a funeral, the original design is worn below the knee being a length that scandalized at the time. Although the French designer was the one who put the spotlight on this classic, the LBD evolved by varying its cut. Nowadays, the mini dress is its nineties version, and it has been the center of attention on the catwalks, reminding us that it has never stopped being trendy.

One of the reasons why the spotlight was back on the mini dress was when Off White gave us a piece with the legend ‘Little Black Dress’, worn by model Kendall Jenner on the Fall-Winter 2022 runway, leaving a reminder that this piece is iconic, and that we should not forget it. 

Another reason why the mini dress regained its place in the trends, has been the revival of vintage fashions, the return of garments that we wore in the 2000s and 90s. The proof is in seeing mini dress designs today that we easily saw on Victoria Beckham more than two decades ago. If we talk about how to wear a mini garment, the former Spice Girls is a style reference, along with the sensual touch that characterized her character in the girl band, began the rise of her excellent fashion sense. 

The Trendy Mini Dress 

As we always mention, having versatile garments allows us to create endless outfits without much effort, so we recommend you to go for timeless designs, that are classic cuts that you consider you can wear at different times of the year and for much longer. However, there are trends that we can hardly resist, here we share some styles of mini dresses that are booming.

The satin dresses, the lingerie type has been around the street style, this textile gives elegance to your outfit, so it would not be a mistake to opt for it, plus in a mini dress will give you an even more sensual dye.

The mini dress with cut out details, has also made appearances that tempt us to lean towards it, this trend has been proclaimed as one of the most persistent, if you are thinking of a garment that will look great in the spring this is your choice.

A wrapped mini dress is another of the most acclaimed designs, we have already talked about the qualities that this cut has, and wearing it in a short dress will undoubtedly enhance the way it stylizes the body.

In line with the previous category, the blazer dresses with cross over design, this oversize version of the mini dress, with masculine dyes and broad shoulders, we will be seeing this proposal until next summer.
