White lace: Playful and feminine
Lace has a playful and girlish touch. It appears especially innocent when used to create white dresses. White lace dresses are ideal for summer and can be combined just as well with sneakers as with feminine sandals. For a visit to a rock concert, the lace dress can be paired with a cool leather jacket. The stylish lace dresses are available in long versions as well as in a sexy mini dress variant.
Styling tips for white lace:
- Matching shoes: sneakers & sandals
- For casual wear: lace dress & leather jacket
- Both long dresses and mini dresses
Sexy necklines: Side Cut Outs
Show more skin – this is absolutely in trend this year for women’s dresses. With so-called side cut outs, you show a bit of skin without going overboard. Whether mini, midi or maxi – the small cutouts appear subtly but with a big effect on the sides of the dresses. Automatically, the waist comes into focus – perfect for the female figure. Sexy boots as well as casual sneakers go well with this look.

Colorful rainbow effect
Do you love bright colors? Then this look is exactly right for you. Dresses in trendy rainbow optic are strikingly colorful and bring a nice color pop to your wardrobe. Typical here is the striped color gradient that runs across the entire dress and thus draws all attention. Everything you wear with this dress should be more subtle. Sneakers or simple sandals go perfectly with it.
Style the rainbow look like this:
- Subtle jewelry
- Shoes: Sneakers or sandals
Adorn with fake feathers
No birds have died for this trend, as the feathers are not real, but they still create a great effect on the viewer. The feathers can be attached to various parts of the dress. For example, on the sleeves, but also on the hem. Here, too, you should not overdo it with accessories, as the feather dress is already quite eye-catching on its own.
Creative graphic prints
Graphic prints are also very eye-catching. Whether wild and psychedelic or colorful pop art motif – everything is included here. A look that is guaranteed to make you stand out at the next party.
Floral prints: It’s getting floral
Floral patterns are making a comeback on clothing. Very romantic and playful, dresses with floral prints look great as a contrast to leather boots or a denim jacket. Flowers in yellow and orange are especially popular, radiating optimism and joy.
In summary:
- Floral prints create a romantic & playful look
- Leather boots and denim jackets as a contrast
- Flowers in yellow and orange represent joy of life
Floral prints combined with white lace are especially popular:

Dots from large to small
To the point, clothes with a pattern made up of small to large dots. Also a trendy look that shouldn’t be missing in 2022. Dotted clothes convey a nice retro style and appear very modern, for example, on soft flowing fabrics. Particularly elegant are dresses with very fine dot patterns that are skillfully gathered at the waist.
Patterns for every taste
Patterns in all variations are most commonly seen on dresses this year. From very small and discreet to real retro patterns that immediately catch the eye everywhere, 2022 has it all.

What was once already modern is now found again in many dress designs. You might even still have a few pieces in your wardrobe that you can take out and finally wear again.
From Mini to Maxi
This year, all lengths are allowed when it comes to dresses. Depending on how much you want to highlight your legs, your dress can be very short, medium-length, or even extra long.
Here’s a quick explanation of the difference between mini, midi, and maxi:
- Mini: very short dresses that show a lot of leg
- Midi: medium-length dresses that are perfect for everyday wear
- Maxi: long maxi dresses with a hem well above the knee
Mini: A lot of leg as a statement piece for the evening
Very short mini dresses are ideal for you if you’re happy with your legs all around. However, mini dresses are more suitable as a statement piece for an evening party rather than for everyday wear.
Midi: Perfect everyday look for office, school & Co.
Dresses with a medium length are a bit more suitable for everyday wear. Legs are still shown here, but the length is more appropriate as an outfit for school, university, or the office.
Maxi: A popular companion on vacation
More elegant and suitable for formal occasions are long maxiskirts. Here, the hem extends well below the knees, making these models also suitable for the office. Maxiskirts are also popular companions on vacation.
Conclusion: The most popular pieces this year
Are you still looking for beautiful dresses? With the presented dress trends, you can creatively combine many outfits. This year, everything is included, from very playful and romantic to striking and extravagant. Your work outfit should at least not be too short or too attention-grabbing. Clearly more comfortable and suitable for everyday wear are the mid-length and long versions.
