Whether mini, midi or maxi: denim dresses are also one of the must-haves this year. Although denim is a strong and robust fabric, it is just as suitable for mild spring days as jersey or linen. We present you five popular trends for 2024.
The material is rough, the style is casual. Denim dresses are a prime example of timeless fashion. Even if the cuts are reinvented again and again, the denim material remains an everlasting constant. But the best thing about it is that small changes such as flounces, puffed sleeves, button placket or waist belt create new creations every year – which are just as suitable for everyday (work) life as they are for leisure time. And not just in summer, but also in the cold autumn and winter months. All the denim look needs is the perfect symbiosis of elegance, casualness and function.
1. Retro look
Denim dresses were already celebrated in the 90s. Since then, the it-piece has become an integral part of the fashion industry. Based on the styles of the past, there are many dresses made of denim with a retro look this year – for example from H&M. The Swedish textile empire offers a whole range of denim dresses (with stretch): from tailored cuts with collars to blouse dresses with belts to oversized models.
2. Curvy styles
Denim dresses have the advantage that they flatter every figure. For this reason, curvy styles that are popular this summer are also among the trendsetters. Loose and casual cuts in large sizes are particularly popular this season: whether with long sleeves or narrow straps, in classic denim blue or black, short or long – in 2023, anything that is fun and provides more variety in the wardrobe is allowed.
3. Tiered dresses
Tiered dresses are also popular this year. Typical for this style are evenly stitched sections, which make denim dresses appear more voluminous – and therefore fit loosely and comfortably. In addition, the denim look can both emphasize and conceal curves thanks to its fashionable sophistication, in the spirit of a typical oversize silhouette. It’s also nice that the denim dresses still look different.
4.Vintage
Denim dresses that are called “vintage” are usually really old (keyword: second hand) – and – as in this case – come from the 90s. Or they are items of clothing that take up the fashion style of past decades and are reinterpreted. Short overalls, embroidered midi dresses or denim dresses with fringes are particularly popular.
5. Hanger
Light, medium blue or dark washes: denim dresses come in different versions. The same applies to the trendy styles and cuts that are still (or will be) popular again in 2023 – such as the classic hanger, an airy, light dress made of denim that usually has thin spaghetti straps. The fabric is often smooth or wavy (i.e. stitched with steps) and short or long.
