Top Trends in Stylish Dresses for Women

Timeless classic style is always chic. It’s the sort of fashion that doesn’t require a special undergarment, a whole new silhouette of coordinating pieces, or a complicated outfit formula to pull together.

If you’re aiming for timeless style, look for core colors like black, white, and navy. These neutrals go with everything.

Basic T-Shirts

A well-stocked wardrobe is essential to any style. You’ll want to have plenty of basics on hand, especially black, white and striped tees that go with everything from jeans to party skirts. A high-quality basic tee will not shrink or fade, and it will look great after several washes.

From 2023, expect to see a new trend called “quiet luxury,” which is all about polishing up your style without looking too flashy. The look is inspired by a more refined preppy aesthetic and a move away from casual logo mania.

Another popular dress style is the maxi dress, which is a flattering style that can be dressed up or down depending on your outfit needs. Maxi dresses typically extend past the knees, and they can be worn alone or layered with other tops like a sweater dress. Another way to elevate your maxi dress is by pairing it with boots. These shoes are a must-have for every wardrobe and come in a variety of styles from ankle boots to tall boots. The best part is, you can find them all at Glamly.

Denim Jeans

If you’re a jeans devotee, then this year is your time to shine. From wide-leg silhouettes to extreme flares, there are plenty of ways to upgrade your blue denim. Extensive distressing is back, and has been refined for an urban look with the likes of Gallery Dept and MR PORTER offering up pairs that feel well-worn. The trend is also evident in the success of the denim line by cult label, Balenciaga, and other luxury brands offering up jeans with pre-tattered finishes and rips.

Alternatively, take a leaf out of the book of Japanese brand KAPITAL with embroidered daisies and illustrated horse heads for a playful twist on the denim look. Wide-leg jeans are another big trend for AW24, with the likes of Valentino Garavani, Stella McCartney, and Isabel Marant offering up options that are more feminine than carpenter/cargo/utility.

And finally, slim cuts are here to stay – in particular, skinny jeans that will never sag or leave you cringing at photos from 10 years ago. Look for pale vintage-type washes to keep this style timeless, or go bold with a pair of cropped flares and strappy heels.

Mini Skirts

The mini skirt trend is back, and it’s perfect for winter. Whether as the focal piece to your outfit or as a stylish complement to your tall boots, this flirty silhouette is a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. The key to styling this fall winter 2024/2025 fashion trend is in the accessories. Pair your skirt with a warm coat or chic jacket to keep you cozy while elevating your look. You can also add a beret or stylish gloves to complete your ensemble.

Aside from the mini skirt, the ’90s-inspired plaid dress is also making its comeback. Wear this figure-hugging piece as office wear or for a night out with friends. You can also pair it with monochrome scarves and belts for a look that’s sure to turn heads.

For the ultimate casual chic, try the Tuckernuck chambray Callahan Shirt Dress ($128) with the Streets Ahead Harley Belt ($269) for cinching. You can also opt for the Rhode Ella Mini Dress ($445), which comes with a removable braided belt for a streamlined look.

Textured Tops

Adding texture to your wardrobe is a surefire way to look stylish all year round. Embrace this trend by swapping your fitted button-down shirts for oversized poplin tops with puffy sleeves or camp-collar styles that pair well with high-waisted jeans and cargo pants. Alternatively, you could try wearing a textured dress for an on-trend romantic date or casual evening out.

Other trendy dresses feature unique textures like puckered fabrics or prickly surfaces. French designer Marine Serre used this textural effect on printed bodysuits and dresses, while Chet Lo at Fashion East showcased mini skirt sets and halter-neck dresses adorned with a prickly surface.

Other styles include asymmetric hemlines, slip dresses, and bold prints in colors like sky blue and rich green. Sustainable fashion options are also a popular choice, with designers offering eco-friendly dressy outfits that are great for any occasion.

Accessories

Fashion accessories are an integral part of timeless style, adding flair without overstating your look. The key to accessorizing with confidence is choosing pieces that go with any ensemble and are appropriate for any occasion. This includes shoe styles, which can be an instant conversation starter or quietly elevate a casual outfit with just the right pair of boots. Classic shoes like ankle boots and straight-leg jeans are ideal wardrobe staples for your timeless style, as they can be worn with everything from floral dresses to tailored blazers.

Another way to effortlessly pull off a fashionable dress is with a coat or jacket. Embrace this 2024 trend by choosing a tailored blazer in a soft fabric to create a chic and put-together outfit. Alternatively, try a women’s set dress, which consists of a matching top and bottom set, like Proenza Schouler’s mint green ribbed knit skirt suit.

This year, the “sleevification” of fashion continues with oversized sleeves across the runway and high street. From puffs and frills to ruched sleeves, this fashion trend is here to stay.
