The pleated gown look is a refreshing way to keep your summer style in check. This easy trend is definitely worth adopting – the gowns are universally flattering, timeless and versatile. Plus, they are the perfect alternative to a structured dress in the oppressive summer heat!

The big, puffy tulle gowns are having a major moment in fashion right now. Celebrities are also pulling all the stops with these candy-floss resembling couture gowns. Here, Ayeza Khan champions the art of wearing the voluminous gown. The actor keeps the rest of her look minimal with dainty jewellery and dewy makeup.

Want to style your pleated gown? Add a belt to it – whether it’s skinny or more chunky – to step up your look. Also, to add pizzazz to your otherwise drab look, go for a bohemian jacket and give your outfit that pop of colour it needs.

Satin and silk gowns are going to stay for a while with us during the colder winter evenings. These gowns get even better if the fabric has a trend colour that you are guaranteed not to have had enough of: green. This combination of the soft pastel shade, the glossy fabric and the A-line silhouette is certainly our current favourite.

This gown is giving us some major vintage vibes. It looks as if it has come straight out of the 60s. The skin-fitted silhouette, the hair accessory, the makeup, the waves, everything is absolutely retro chic.

Update your festive wardrobe with an embroidered mesh gown. The detail looks especially fête-ready and styles nicely with bejeweled pieces and statement heels – all that's left to add is some glowy party makeup.
