In 2020, dresses stayed in the back of our closets as we didn’t have occasions for wearing them. But in 2021, brighter times are ahead and it’s time to let your dresses see the light of day. This year, we’ll see some classics mixed in with fresh silhouettes and retro styles. Here are the five dress trends to style this year.

Bare Backs

One of the most subtle, but sensual ways to show skin is with bare backs. Whether you want something slinky or oversized, there a bare back dress that fits in with every style.

Sultry Sweaters

Sweater dresses are no longer basic—right now, they feature cutouts and cold shoulders. But don’t worry, they’re still super cozy.

’90s Mesh

Printed mesh is super ’90s and we can’t seem to get enough of it. Pair it with some chunky combat boots for a retro look.

Bold Shoulders

Strong shoulders have been going strong for a while now and they make for a bold, chic look.

Minimalist Maxis

Everyone needs a simple, black dress in their closet and column dresses in neutral were a huge hit on the Spring 2021 runways.

One dress that absolutely took the internet by storm this year was Lirika Matoshi’s infamous strawberry dress, which is so universally beloved by netizens that it has taken on a life of its own. But the dress comes with a pretty hefty $490 price tag which makes it rather hard for most people to afford. So instead of buying it, a few talented ladies have decided to handmake their own versions at home. Here are some of our favorites.

Madison McQuary’s Perfect Recreation

If it isn’t impressive enough that somebody had the creativity to design the original strawberry dress, it’s certainly impressive that Madison McQuary managed to make a nearly-identical recreation just by looking at photos alone. Talk about skills.

The Beginner Version

According to Jerina Engel, she was only a sewing beginner when she made her own recreation of her strawberry dress, but we’d never be able to tell if she hadn’t told us.

Rachel Maksy’s Halloween Strawberry Dress

If there’s only one way to make the adorable strawberry dress even better, it’s to make it spooky, and that’s exactly what Rachel Maksy did when she created an orange and black bat-adorned version. There’s no doubt that she’ll have an absolutely boo-tiful Halloween in that creation.

In the summertime, the little black dress turns into a little white dress. It’s a classic summer look that works both in the city and on the vacation, and if you still don’t have your perfect LWD, it’s time to change that.

White dresses never go out of style, so if you choose carefully, you can end up with a piece you will wear and cherish for years. LWD will make you look chic and the combining options are literally endless. If it gets chilly, you can wear it with any jacket and closed-toe shoes, while during the hot days you don’t need anything else but a pair of strap sandals.

Dressing up your LWD is as easy as dressing it down and you’ll finally get to use all those fun accessories that don’t really go with your other clothes. The images below should give you plenty of ideas and direct you to the nearest mall (or your favorite shopping website) to choose your perfect little white dress.
