When it comes to dresses, there are basically two silhouettes that are ruling spring 2020, and both are on opposite ends of the spectrum. There are the eye-catching midi styles that are often worn over trousers for a forward look. And on the flip side, it’s the more "daring” minidresses with the bold and striking length that are also making waves throughout the fashion world. In reference to the latter, the shorter cut hit the S/S 20 runways hard as designers from Versace to Balmain showcased a range of iterations including reimagined mini LBDs and sharp blazer dresses. Celebrities have also caught onto this dress trend. Kendall Jenner, for example, recently wore a cool black dress with a longline trench coat out and about during fashion month.
Interested in testing out this adventurous look this season? Keep scrolling for a bit of celebrity style inspiration showcasing why a minidress might be worth a go in your night-out rotation. Naturally, you can also shop each inspired look as well. Go on and make that statement.
