Dreamy and Romantic Fashion Trends

By Zuri Mwangi

If you’re a fan of all things dreamy, romantic, and feminine, then you’re in luck - these trends are having a major moment right now. From billowing sleeves to floral prints, there are plenty of ways to incorporate a touch of romance into your wardrobe.

Romantic clothing has long-featured voluminous sleeves. Women’s costumes in the 16th and 17th centuries had puffy shoulders and voluminous sleeves that were frequently embellished with lace and ribbons. Currently, billowing sleeves are highly popular and can be found on everything from dresses to blouses. Wear this stunning blouse from & Other Stories with balloon-style sleeves for a striking look.

Since the 16th century, when it was created by hand using complex weaving processes, lace has been a popular fabric. At first, only royalty and members of the higher classes wore it, but with time, it became more widely available. Lace is a lovely, delicate fabric that may be worn in many different ways nowadays. For a hint of vintage-inspired romance, try this gorgeous almond lace and satin dress from Reformation for a touch of vintage-inspired romance.

Pastel colors initially became fashionable when used in rococo art and clothing in the 18th century. Compared to the strong, vibrant hues favored in past eras, they were perceived as more delicate and feminine. Today, anyone looking to add a hint of sweetness to their attire can turn to pastel colors. Try this stunning pink satin mini from Nordstrom in a soft, blush hue.
