Stylish stripes remain one of the most popular colors for women's dresses in 2016. This simple, laconic, but at the same time very interesting print is presented in the new season with an even wider range of color choices. For example, compared to previous fashion periods this year, both classic stripe colors and a combination of rich shades are in trend. Also, designers offer beautiful dresses with vertical, horizontal, diagonal and abstract prints, which speaks of a wide variety of not only fashionable styles, but also models. In addition, now the strip is used not only in everyday life, but also in various other styles. Of course, this print is not suitable for evening wear. However, fashionable styles for going out, models for the beach, strict classics, as well as romantic striped dresses are in trend in the summer of 2016.
Fashionable summer striped dresses 2016
Probably, many believe that striped dresses are only presented in the 2016 beach collections for girls. And it is not surprising, because the first associations with a fashionable print come precisely in combination with a nautical style. However, this year the stylish stripe is not only a popular vest. Let's see which striped dresses are trendy for the 2016 season?
Striped Beach Dresses... Of course, first of all, you should pay attention to the beach wardrobe models. Popular in previous seasons with a horizontal print in black and white or blue and white, the combination is still in trend. But along with it, designers offer light short sundresses with vertical colors, as well as beautiful flying floor-length styles with bright stripes.
Striped shirt dress... The most laconic, but no less fashionable, are the casual models in the shirt style. These dresses are presented in classic colors or pastel colors. This option is the perfect choice for every day.
Striped sheath dress... In 2016, designers did not deprive fashionistas who prefer classics or follow a strict dress code with fashionable colors. A sophisticated sheath dress will stylishly demonstrate your individuality and originality, despite the restrained style. Indeed, for such dresses, bright combinations, as well as contrasting shades of the classic and color range, are considered popular colors in the print.
Striped silk dress... Refined and elegantly fashionable print looks in graceful silk models. A popular style of a silk striped dress in 2016 was a short loose hoodie. An outfit like this is a great choice for a go-out look or casual bows in a hot season.
The striped print remains popular in the new spring-summer 2016 season. However, the designers have reconsidered their view of the strip, and offer new models. In addition to varying widths and directions, striped prints take on irregular outlines and blurry color palettes ...
The striped print takes place in almost all items of women's wardrobe. The color scheme of the stripes is not only black and white, or red and white, the 2016 fashion shows demonstrated that stripes can be of any color and any combination.
Striped print is always in fashion, however, sometimes it modestly declares itself, but there are moments of serious striped boom, like in the last few years, when from season to season designers fantasize, offering striped print in various interpretations.
In some cases, the stripes on the fabric get along well with the checkered and floral prints. A striped print can be not only in the form of strict parallel lines, but also in the form of broken lines. Strips of different widths and color palette coexist on one fabric.

It is not so difficult to choose your pair for a striped garment, but here one should not be guided by only one principle - it is so convenient for me. If you often visit Militta, then beauty is not indifferent to you. And besides convenience and fashion, you pay attention to the image you create and its beauty.
A striped print can be combined with other prints, but this must be taken seriously so as not to overdo it. If you have doubts about the right choice, it is better to stick to the rules - plain bottom - striped top or vice versa.

A horizontal stripe is a particularly dangerous print that can add significant volume to a figure. Militta has repeatedly pointed this out. And yet, when the trendy horizontal stripe was at the peak of popularity in 2015, many women with heavy and voluminous shapes put on outfits with this dangerous print, apparently arguing like this - it's fashionable.

A striped print can favorably emphasize the dignity of your figure, or it can destroy all your "efforts" and spent financial resources.
In addition to all that has been said, it should be noted that the strip is suitable for women of any age and build. However, in each case, the striped print can be completely different. If you have heavy hips, a horizontal strip in this area is contraindicated. The same can be said for lush breasts. The horizontal stripe adds volume.
Only a slender girl can beautify such a print. Moreover, the wider the stripes, the greater the visual effect you will get. You can use horizontal lines in cases where there is imbalance in your figure (narrow shoulders, wide hips and vice versa). Then define the contours at the narrowest point.

The vertical will suit many of us, provided that the stripes are narrow. Otherwise, on a curvy figure, this option will do the same as the horizontal. However, with high growth and thinness, the vertical can also harm. Tall is good, but looking long and skinny is not at all the option. In one case, any strip will do - if you are a young girl with perfect shapes.

To figure out how and what to wear, let's take a look at the designs suggested by the designers in 2016. Here we look at various striped prints in clothing and accessories. Many interesting looks are presented in the collections of Dolce Gabbana, Elisabetta Franchi, Fausto Puglisi, Iceberg, Missoni, Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Zuhair Murad.
Each collection is interesting and original in its own way. In Prada collections, striped print is combined with a checkered print, in some models the stripes are not located over the entire surface, but zonal, which makes it possible to take this into account to create proportionality in the figure.
The original version of the non-standard stripes in the models J Mendel, Missoni, Delpozo, Talbot Runhof. These models will help you to use striped prints with different body imbalances. And, for example, Dolce Gabbana's adorable striped print appliqué will distract attention from too narrow shapes on your figure.
If you think that a striped print is in no way unacceptable for your figure, then look at the models in which designers use a strip only in a zonal arrangement, you will surely find your image.
You can approach a striped print differently - arrange the directions of the stripes at different angles - vertically, horizontally, obliquely, or you can use a mixture of striped prints, in which all stripes are different in color and width.

Stripe print will always make you stand out from the crowd, no matter what color your stripes are. Accessories also look elegant. After all, it is not at all necessary to completely dress in a striped print, you can add just a few strokes.
Experimenting with striped prints must be skillful and careful. On the catwalk, all the models are thin and slender girls, so it seems that any image can be brought to life. But before you do this, think over everything and take into account the advice that she gave you.

Moreover, considering dresses in the collections of famous brands, we drew attention to the fact that almost any includes several trends at once, it is impossible to miss. So our selection of individual trends is somewhat arbitrary, and made for the convenience of perception. In addition, breath is felt in almost all directions: in cut, shapes and prints.
Strip - trend number 1 of the spring-summer season 2016
Spring-summer boom of 2016 on dresses with all kinds of stripes is probably the # 1 hit. Horizontal and vertical, wide and narrow, multicolored and solid, combined with floral and geometric prints. We remind you that a narrow vertical strip visually narrows, and a wide horizontal one widens, but there are exceptions to any rule.

Colorblocking - bright geometry of spring-summer 2016
One of the brightest and most effective techniques that make your image unusual and memorable. It should be borne in mind that the selection of accessories of the correct color for such a dress is very important, since colored blocks can make your image visually heterogeneous, as if disconnected, when the bag and shoes are simply obliged to play on the overall composition and look harmonious.
Asymmetry is the best shape correction tool
Looks great for a one-color dress, and for a multi-color one, it is combined with the same color blocking, and perfectly copes with figure flaws with the correct selection of a dress with asymmetrical details.
Romance in spring-summer 2016 - choose one trend or all at once
In fact, any of these trends is applicable not only in the romantic style, but also in any other, but they all "grew" out of romance, so we have combined them in one sub-heading.
Dresses with ruffles and ruffles
In the season spring-summer 2016 romantic ruffles and ruffles are actual and were received with a bang by many couturiers, bringing in their collections a large share of soft, enveloping femininity.
Dresses with puff sleeves
Is this a return to retro or a new look? Perhaps both, because puffy sleeves on a romantic dress with ruffles are definitely closer to vintage or, and the same sleeves on a laconic cut dress are a detail closer to minimalism or casual.
Floral Print Dresses
Large, clear and bright flowers will visually enlarge your figure, but small ones, in pastel colors, with blurred outlines, will reduce it.
Pleated dresses
A romantic style trick suitable for lightweight slip fabrics. Visually slims and distracts attention from unwanted details, makes even the simplest dress more interesting and elegant.

In fashion 2016 freedom of styles and images reigns.
Dresses spring-summer 2016 and fashion trends of the season
One of the most powerful trends this season is body-nudity and with it,. Contrasting combinations of colors and textures, a mixture of prints and fabrics, vintage charm, ruffles, ruffles, pleats, lace - all this remains on the catwalk, and therefore in our wardrobes.
Asymmetry, mixing of styles allows you to wear everything, and in any way it is convenient for someone. Flying trains, layering in various versions, when one does not match the other in any way, bare shoulders and more ... Designers convince us that this must be worn. Each of them seeks to surprise the audience in any way, because designers are more afraid of the public's indifference than of its indignation. But if you are striving for beauty and elegance, then look at the models that Militta has chosen for you.
Fashionable dresses 2016 - models and cut
The cut is dominated by open shoulders, deep necklines, flowing and scattering fabrics with numerous cuts that demonstrate the beauty and appeal of the female body. The forever young and cheerful A-silhouette is repeated from season to season. Many cutting trends of the last season have been preserved: cutouts on the shoulders, models on one shoulder, one sleeve, a Lolita dress, sleeves - "wings", a tulip dress, dresses in antique style.

As for the silhouettes that designers prefer, this question is not easy to answer. Asymmetry and layering in the cut create those features when different silhouettes are combined with each other, for example, a straight silhouette with a fluffy skirt, and a fitted one with an asymmetrical train or a torn hem. Chiffon trains flutter with every step, and at the same time reveal their owner.

Double skirts and dresses over skirts or a skirt over trousers, or wide trousers - all this rustles, flows, sparkles, creating pomp and volume. Layering in a cut is not the first season, but this time the issue is being solved radically. The layers of tissue shift, float on top of each other, form trails and "tails".
The hem can fall to the floor on one side and rise to an ultra-mini on the other. Unusual combinations of length, proportions and textures of fabrics are contrasted. Somewhere geometry reigns, and somewhere continuous chaos. Shimmering and sparkling transparent fabrics float in the air, then lay on top of one another, creating splendor.
Mini, midi, maxi - they all easily get along in one look and in our wardrobe, just skillfully combine them with other accessories.

The lingerie style with a half-covered body is combined with the demonstration of those toilet items that used to be under the dress, now they are on the dress.

If you didn’t know about it, then it’s time to get acquainted - fluffy petticoats with ruffles and bows are no longer underskirts ...
