Drop It: The Dress Silhouette Taking Over Your Closet

Spring inevitably ushers in a barrage of dress options. It’s the precursor to summer. To be totally in tune with seasonal trends, it is imperative to know what are the current favorites both on and off the runways. This season it isn’t just about a style or a print, but rather a silhouette. Drop-waist dresses are quietly, but steadily going to be taking over your closet. Mostly because the hip-hugging low-slung waistline resembles a corset-like bodice (also a current and past fave), but also, drop-waist dresses are a polished and chic opportunity to add a dramatic detail without much effort. These figure flattering frocks create a torso-lengthening silhouette punctuated by a bottom half that is relaxed, flouncy and flowing. From mini to maxi, shop our favorite drop-waist dresses below.
