2012 Summer Dress Trends: Which One Would You Wear?

I like to keep up with the latest womens clothing trends just for fun. I dont necessarily run out and buy clothes that match the trends, but its interesting to see what other people are shopping for while I sit at my computer in my pajamas. 😉 So lets see what is IN right now in the dress category

Color Blocking

Id say it could be tastefully done, but I wouldnt wear that dress on the left. its a little too contrasting neon and black for me. The one on the right is cute, though!

Not a huge fan of that dress, but if Kristen Stewart wears it! 😉

Peplum Dress

The peplum features a ruffle around the high waist. This is definitely one of those shape-specific styles I couldnt wear it with my hips! But hey, if you have no rear end and you want one this might be for you. 🙂 I do love the vintage look it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn for some reason and that is a good thing!

Babydoll Dress

I would wear the one on the far left, but Im pretty sure the model in the middle went a bit far with her dress is that all one piece? *shudder* Then theres the dress on the far right worn by Jennifer Lopez. Im sorry, but that looks like a fancy negligee, and not very comfortable.

Aquatic-Inspired

Apparently fish scales are in.

Amazingly, Im speechless. Maybe because my mermaid obsession ended after I turned 12?

Sheer

Apparently this is a big one sorry, Im not really a fan. Though I think it could be done in a way I would wear something like this:

This style could be tasteful and sophisticated if done right but when the dresses start looking like lingerie I think its pushing it. Goodness, the lovely nightwear from Figleaves looks more comfortable, fashionable, and tasteful than some of these dresses!

Patchwork Look

Aha! Finally a trend I LOVE! Possibly because its got that crafty handmade look to it. 🙂 I actually made myself a patchwork type skirt not too long ago! See, Im lookin hip already

So tell me, which trend do you like the most?
