Trending Mini Dresses For After-Dark

These trending mini dresses are ready and waiting to elevate your evening closet! Firstly, we have the cutout scalloped mini dress by Saint Laurent. We’re seriously in love with this chicly elevated LBD. Its long sleeves, open scoop neckline, and under-bust cut-out detailing are simply gorgeous. Not to mention, the scalloped hem and neckline give this subtly seamed silhouette a pretty, playful edge. Ideal for spring and summer. Team this must-have mini with simple black heels for a sleek all-black ensemble.

Meanwhile, we simply can’t resist the neon trend! A stark contrast to an LBD the ruched stretch-crepe mini by Self Portrait dazzles with a square/halter neckline, central ruching, and sheer, long fitted sleeves. Not to mention, its eye-catching chartreuse hue is everything we and our warm-weather closets desire!

Trending Mini Dresses To Buy Before They Sell Out

If your heart is set on these trending mini dresses, add them to your cart before they’re gone! For example, we fully expect the embellished tulle halter mini by Oscar De La Renta to be out of stock very soon. Firstly, its chic high neckline, open back, and fitted waist are incredibly flattering. Meanwhile, the intricate embellishments and trending nude hue make it stand out all the more. Therefore, it demands attention and deserves a top spot in your SS22 lineup. As do the Ari 105mm leather sandals by Aquazzura which it goes perfectly with!

Alternatively, those in search of the quintessential cut-out dress will swoon over the Simple pleasures mini by Johanna Ortiz. Firstly, it has a gorgeous, square sweetheart neckline, elbow-length puff sleeves, and a twisted cut-out bodice. All of which look incredibly pretty and serve to flatter your figure too! Additionally, its elegant a-line skirt falls to the perfect cropped length with the most beautiful cream embroidered detailing near the hem. Finally, style this dress with boots for spring or with heels for your summer evening plans. We’re eying the Highshine sandals by Stuart Weitzman for this very reason!
