Bizarre shapes, the desire for minimalism, slight negligence, combined with indescribable charm and femininity - all these trends are read in fashion collections season autumn-winter 2017-2018. This year, designers seem to be blurring the boundaries between styles: for example, wearing a cocktail slip dress over a classic blouse, you can create a stylish set in a formal business style, and the close interaction of wide palazzo trousers and a straight-cut dress will result in an ultra-fashionable ensemble that, with the right choice of accessories, it will turn into a sophisticated evening look.
Fashionable dresses for autumn-winter 2017-2018 are a transition from one extreme to another: either it is modesty, inspired by the medieval monastic image (speaking of the trend of this season - the episcopal sleeve), or the desire to open the body as much as possible with the help of asymmetric cuts and a deep neckline; weightless silk fabrics gently framing the figure, or heavy materials and a square silhouette of dresses with voluminous shoulders. New trends seem to be aimed at ensuring that any female nature is comfortable, however, a hint of bold experiments is obvious. So, let's move from theory to practice!
V-neck
Put a checkmark next to the first one in the list fashion trends! And it is a V-shaped neckline, and in its new interpretation. We've already talked about extremes and how designers are taking everything literally this year. That is why the line of the bodice goes beyond: on evening and cocktail dresses, it ends at the waist, where, as a rule, a belt, yoke or gather serve as limiters. Such styles often combine several types of fabrics, due to which the effect of a textured game is created: noble velvet and flying chiffon, exquisite guipure and satin, mesh and shimmering fabric with sequins, dense dress fabrics and leather. Usually such models do not tolerate aspirations to open something else, although a diagonal cut from the hip is quite acceptable. As for accessories, this style does not feel a great need for them: a few laconic bracelets on the forearm, earrings falling from the shoulders, or a lace choker around the neck - this will be enough.
noble satin
The secrets of antiquity, carried through the millennia along the Great Silk Road, have long been available to everyone! The glossy sheen of satin has become a classic, especially for an evening or cocktail dress and not only: casual dresses are now at the peak of popularity. In order to choose an actual look for going out, you should pay attention, first of all, to simple styles - whether they are slip dresses with thin straps or low-cut dresses that emphasize the figure. By the way, we advise you to be more careful with the last point: the iridescent texture of the satin can play a cruel joke, making the slightest figure flaws obvious.
Fashionable dresses autumn-winter 2017-2018: fringe
Shiny silk threads, which are associated with dresses for passionate Latin American dances, have become the decoration of many collections this season. Glossy fringe in motion makes any dress even more stylish and sophisticated, endowing even the simplest styles with a special charm. The silk boom continues: satin, guipure and fabrics with lurex threads - perfect base for a luxurious fringed dress. A laconic pair of shoes will help to complement the image - plain leather stilettos or gladiator sandals.
Lingerie in sight
Mesh, guipure and velvet hand-made underwear is the most persistent trend that has not lost its position for several seasons. Now the bra does not need to be hidden - down with embarrassment! This year, lace, as if accidentally peeking out from under the dress, is an actual addition to any ensemble. The only caveat: such underwear is rather decorative and looks more like a top or bustier, so you should not replace it with ordinary underwear - there is a threat to look vulgar.
Bustier top and sweetheart neckline
Something between an element of underwear and a bodice of a ball gown - low-cut models that are already part of the classic idea of exquisite evening dress. Thin straps or their absence open the lines of the neck and shoulders, visually stretching it - and this is not the only secret. Such a style can instantly correct the figure, turning it into a " hourglass”: a “heart-shaped” neckline narrows to the waist, where, as a rule, a thin yoke or belt is located, after which it goes into a wide skirt (an option such as a fluffy tutu is also possible) or a tulip skirt (voluminous in the hips, but tapering towards the knees). The result is an instantly transformed figure and a perfectly defined silhouette.
Designers this season do not miss the opportunity to add sparkle to their collections. Such dresses are clearly designed to attract attention, catch admiring glances and compliments. In a cocktail and evening look, it is permissible to shine to the maximum, especially with noble tints. precious metals. The most popular option is a cool silver shade that fits best into the atmosphere of the winter season, reminiscent of an outfit. Snow Queen. And a simple plain pair of shoes will help melt the ice: this case it is better to return to the classics by opting for stilettos or ordinary boats.
Open shoulders
A lot has been said about the “usefulness” of the neckline for emphasizing the line of the shoulders, but it should also be regarded from an aesthetic point of view: what can be more elegant than an open neck and collarbones? Of course, a holistic image, complemented by a pendant on a thin chain, neat long earrings hanging down to the shoulders, and collected hair for more effect. This style also requires careful handling, especially with the “inverted triangle” body type: to relieve all the load from the shoulders, balancing the top and bottom, pay attention to fitted dresses with puffy skirts - extra volume in the hips never hurts.
Rules for a successful combination
In any game, the right combination is important, and creating a successful image is no exception. And we are not talking about cunning maneuvers on the way to winning, but about him - the perfect slip dress, which has been taking pride of place among fashion trends for several years now. Laconic, moderately erotic and incredibly feminine, the combination dress will be the best companion for both an evening reception and a daytime walk. Everyday life allows you to wear it like a sundress, putting it on over business-style blouses and plain T-shirts. And for celebrations - a silk combination can be supplemented with a fur coat in a contrasting color, lacquered ankle boots or classic-shaped shoes.
Bulky shoulders
And again, the 80s are back - their traces can be found in every season, and autumn-winter 2017-2018 was no exception. We remember the abundance of sequins and poisonous acid colors, raincoats made of leather and vinyl, dizzying platforms. This year, harmony has been achieved on the example of simple mini dresses with voluminous shoulders. These can be fitted dresses with a belt, as well as models of a fitted silhouette, which are good for those who still have something to hide. This style will perfectly fit into your everyday wardrobe, and if you complement the image with suede over the knee boots and an elegant handbag on a chain, then you can safely go to an evening event.
optical illusions
This technique has existed in the design arsenal for a long time, and is actively used in practice. And not in vain, because the optical effect created by the interweaving of contrasting lines can transform even the most ordinary style. The simplest option is the classic combination of black and white, which can be diluted with an accent in the form of a miniature red handbag, or vice versa - slightly “calm down” with nude shoes.
Fashionable one-shoulder dresses
Asymmetry is always in trend - and a dress with open shoulder. The invention is not new, however, it always looks original and bold, and it is allowed both in everyday looks and in festive ones. Choosing a black one-shoulder mini dress, you can assemble a trendy outfit in rock style, complementing it with massive black boots or patent leather ankle boots, tight tights and a leather jacket. To get the opposite effect, as opposed to the rebellious spirit, will help a light guipure dress with draperies and frills, which can be safely combined with leather over the knee boots and a warm, heavy-looking coat.
Dress and tailored trousers
The dress is one of the most feminine details of the wardrobe, however, in terms of comfort, hardly anything can compare with trousers. This season suggests how to combine business with pleasure: now wearing wide midi dresses under strict palazzo trousers is one of the main trends. Such a kit will not only allow you to easily create a monochrome image, but also form interesting combination colors and textures. It can be a game within a specific color gradation: from dark to lighter shades of the same color. And, of course, the union of several textures, different in their properties: velor and chiffon, leather and satin, dense suiting fabrics and translucent silk.
translucent fabrics
A modern fashionista should go even for the most daring experiments. A new stylish test from designers - the lightest "half-naked" dresses made of transparent materials that reveal the body as much as possible. It is not necessary to take this trend literally: just wear a nude sheath dress down or, as an option for the more daring, a vintage lingerie set - tight-fitting high-rise shorts and a bustier top.
asymmetrical cuts
Striving for interesting geometric shapes for many years does not leave the world podiums. Indeed, sometimes the original cuts and cutouts on the dress adorn even the most simple model no worse than stripes and bright edging. Opening small areas of the body, they add mystery and a slight veil of sexuality to the image.
Such different sleeves
It is on the constructive elements that designers are focusing this year. The focus is on the sleeves, or rather, their shape. The most popular are the so-called "episcopal" sleeve (gradual increase in volume from the shoulder to the wrist, where the widest part is gathered with cuffs) and the puff sleeve, which rounds the line of the shoulders, creating additional volume. Sometimes models are more associated with dresses of the Victorian era, however, in a new interpretation, they look very modern and extremely original.
A set consisting of a dress and gloves is suitable not only for the ball! This season, even casual and business models require such additions as textured leather gloves that reach the forearm. They should be worn over a white blouse, dress or tunic (regardless of the sleeve length), and for the integrity of the image, you can purchase a cape or sleeveless coat - the designers made sure that you look stylish and do not freeze even in the windiest weather.
Folk motifs
Going back to the 60s, which also went down in history as the era of hippies, we notice a large number of ethnic prints and folk motifs in the fashion of that time. And this season they were involved in the last shows, so wide dresses with intricate floral prints and ornaments, denim inserts and fringe are already waiting for their finest hour to form a warm alliance with rough winter boots and a long oversized coat.
Leaf-halter
We remember the summer craze for swimsuits with a halter bodice, which is characterized by diagonal lines from the shoulders to the chest and fastening with ties or a placket at the neck. The same idea went into fashion for dresses in the autumn-winter 2017-2018 season, fitting quite organically into fitted dresses with flowing skirts made of light fabrics. A laconic cut and nothing more is the main setting.
The podium never ceases to delight with fresh ideas, which, with the right approach, are quite simple to implement. So choose a few key ideas for yourself and start experimenting, because this is how a unique individual style is created!
As for the color schemes of fashionable dresses 2018, the choice, as always, is very wide and varied. Classic black and red do not cease to be leaders in 2018. The original decision of the designers was White color. Pure and transparent colors reign on the podiums, without complex impurities, and their piercing shades - orange-scarlet, silver-gray, chocolate, yellow. This approach allows you to perfectly shade and emphasize a lot of original details, a complex cut and an unusually shaped silhouette. Along with this trend, the continued popularity of the floral print cannot be overlooked. placers bright colors of all sizes, complex floral ornaments are amazing and perfectly decorate feminine dresses. With the help of floral patterns, it is easy to adjust the silhouette. And you can also put a bright accent thanks to a large application with the image of a bouquet or a single flower bud.
The emphasis on the line of the chest and neck is the undisputed classic of the genre in the fashion for evening dresses! The leading way of staging it this season is a teardrop-shaped cutout (or “keyhole”). Usually, it is advised to be careful with its size, however, this time the designers started a game beyond all rules: an exaggerated neckline is quite common in new collections. As a rule, these are fitted dresses with a belt or a “yoke” at the waist, with the most simple cut and no frills. But in the choice of material, you can not be limited to anything - from exquisite plain velvet to transparent guipure and sequins.
Elongated dress patterns
If you want to look glamorous in cool weather, then new trend autumn-winter 2017-2018 will definitely please you - elongated models of dresses. They can be combined with various accessories, each time getting a new, and sometimes unexpected look.

Asymmetry and open shoulder
The use of asymmetric forms is the main design tool that allows you not only to create an original style, but also to correct the shape of the figure. This season, infinitely long legs are in focus, and most importantly, the perfect line of the neck and shoulders!
How is the effect achieved? It is enough to make a choice in favor of a dress with a high waist and open one shoulder. The last element, apparently, was especially fond of designers this year, which is why it is used most often, both in the form of clear lines and in the form of flounces, slightly casually falling from the shoulder, collars or flutter sleeves.
Stand collar dress
Would you like to appear independent lady? Then pay attention to the dress with a stand-up collar. This option looks moderately strict, but at the same time it has a special zest. This dress will perfectly fit into the office ensemble. Wearing a business dress for negotiations, you will definitely achieve a positive result.

Dress with long leather gloves
The cold season is not an obstacle to creating vivid and memorable images. Long leather gloves are not just an accessory that will warm your hands from the cold, but also a great thing that will help in creating a fashionable ensemble. In the 2017-2018 season, designers offer to combine dresses with elongated gloves. Possessing such luxurious accessories, a woman will shine at any social event.

bustier
We advise you to revise your wardrobe, because for several seasons in a row this detail adorns dresses, both evening and cocktail, and everyday, and still does not lose its relevance! Once upon a time, the bustier was perceived only as an element of underwear, but now it is an integral part of a wide variety of things - and evening dresses are no exception. The essence of the bustier, however, is not completely lost: it makes any style as seductive and frank as possible. Designers offer to balance the overly open neckline with medium-width straps.
Glossy textures
Perhaps not a single show can do without the dazzling brilliance of precious metals. Especially when it comes to evening dresses. And indeed, nothing more than gloss makes us shine in every sense. It is unnecessary to talk about gold and silver, but the autumn-winter 2017-2018 season has something else in store! For example, delicate pearl, arctic blue, sapphire, a shade of wet asphalt and, of course, shimmering floral or animal prints. “Soothing” for each type of radiance is one: matte textures, related in color, and laconic forms - this also applies to combinations with other materials, and accessories.
Down with modesty: maximum open shoulders
In the top list of the sexiest elements women's clothing the highest point was always occupied by the neckline. Time passes, but its positions are only getting stronger. And this season, cutouts are becoming more and more frank. It is possible to open the shoulders as wide as possible, while not making the image vulgar, with the help of classic cutout options - “Angelica”, exposing only the line of the collarbones, and a corsage.
Timeless: V-neck
And again he is a V-neck! Moreover, the deeper it is, the more spectacular the evening dress becomes. You don’t have to look far for ideas: you can take a silk slip dress as the basis of the image or drown in luxurious velvet draperies. You can complement the overall look with a finish stylized as a frill, as well as an unusual shape. short sleeve(for example, flutter or boof).
"Half-naked" black dress
Designers this season are clearly heading for courage! Moving away from geometry and asymmetrical shapes, the runway offers an alternative for how the body can be exposed. A new take on the little black dress: it's now completely see-through! Within the limits of decent, of course. Such a model, as a rule, is two-layered: the lower dress (or a set of high-waisted shorts and a bodice) is made of dense fabric and the upper one is made of weightless chiffon, mesh or luxurious guipure. Stitches act as decorative elements, satin ribbons, lurex and fringe.
Dresses from Chanel
Winter is coming, which means that the fashion industry is starting to prepare for the fall and winter of next year. It's time to look at the interseasonal (Pre-Fall) collection autumn-winter 2017-2018 from Chanel.

Fashionable dresses 2018 for full
New fashion trends seem to be created to emphasize curvy shapes: oversized cuts or soft draperies perfectly mask the imperfections of the figure, V-necklines emphasize the bust, and prints and bright colors make the image stylish and original.
The V-neckline and high waist accentuate the bust and hips, while the knee length and 3/4 sleeves hide imperfections and add sophistication to the look.
The picture shows two similar styles: the first is suitable for every day, and the second can be stylish option for an evening out. Black dress makes you slimmer thanks to the high waist and vertical pleat on the skirt, while the purple version emphasizes the dignity of the figure, thanks to soft draperies.

Jean Paul Gaultier decided to dress women in light flowing dresses and offered fashionistas for the summer a large selection of models that combine sexuality and chic.

Christian Dior in years will be associated with femininity, tenderness and sophistication, because the magnificent evening dresses created by Maria Grazia Chiuri are designed to emphasize harmony, grace and youth in a girl. At the heart of the models are airy fabrics, as if flowing with a weightless cloud, richly decorated with exquisite embroidery, floral print and unusual decorative elements.
