The Dress Trend Fashion People Are Suddenly Wearing – Jimmy Star’s World

Strapless dresses were all the rage last summer, but a new It-girl trend is on the rise. While a strapless minidress is great for summer, it doesn’t always do the job of elevating your look. I think if you’re looking for pieces that will do that, then boatneck minidresses are the answer. The high-neck cut of a boatneck is still breathable enough for the heat, while offering a delicate, more thoughtful touch to a look in comparison to a strapless dress.

When I saw what Kendall Jenner recently wore for a stroll in Saint-Tropez, it gave me so much style inspiration. She looked sophisticated (and very French) in a simple fiery-red boatneck minidress paired with flip-flops from The Row in a matching shade. Oh, to be in France on the beach… After closer examination, I realized her look could be worn anywhere from dinner parties to casual outings, as proven by her styling choices shown here. I love how she toned down the flirtiness of the dress with a striped tote bag and simple flip-flops—it kept the look feeling fun yet expensive. For a less casual look, I would style Jenner’s dress with a pair of square-toe sandals or heels, and a mini handbag for a night out. That’s exactly the kind of versatility I’ve been looking for in a minidress. If you’re looking for the same thing, keep scrolling to shop an array of boatneck dresses in fiery red and other colors that might fit your style.
