2024 is shaping up to be a great year for fashion, especially when it comes to dresses. With so may dress trends–from cut-out to puff sleeve and maxi–it's tricky to choose just one, but we’ve spotted yet another style that’s proving to be just as prolific on the high street as it is in designer circles.
Formerly associated with ’80s bridesmaid gowns, satin has undergone a reinvention of late. Instead of the heavy duchess satin most commonly found on bad prom dresses, the fabric is gradually become thinner and lightweight, making its overall vibe sultry as opposed to frumpy.
Most of us would associate modern-day satin with slip dresses. But it’s used to create just about every silhouette you can think of. So whether you prefer oversized silhouettes to garments cut close to the body, rest assured this is one dress trend you won’t be exempt from. With a luxurious look and touch, we suspect satin dresses will be in high demand for summer weddings and soirées.
However, that doesn’t mean you need to keep them for formal occasions only. With a simple switch of shoes, you can make them work for less formal outings as well. With minis, midis and maxis to choose from, in a variety of gorgeous hues, keep scrolling to see and shop our edit of the best satin dresses to shop now.
