Hipster dresses come in various styles and lengths, but they typically have loose fits and flowy fabrics. Popular types include long dresses with spaghetti straps, sleeveless dresses, flutter dresses, shirtdresses, and jersey dresses. These dresses can exude a vintage look and are often worn with sneakers or boots and beaded jewelry for a more hipster effect.
There are various types of hipster dresses, with different styles and lengths. Two common features that run through many of these dresses is the flow of the fabric and the looseness of the fit. Fashion, even with hipsters, tends to be cyclical, so some dresses can even exude a vintage look from the 1970s and 1980s. This casual look somehow echoes the laid-back personality of a hipster.
Long dresses are a popular choice not only for hipsters, but also for all women. These hipster dresses are usually ankle length and feature the spaghetti strap design. The triangle neckline conservatively covers the chest but shows enough cleavage, and the waist is also loose. Patterns are usually colorful and vibrant, from flowers to abstract images. Some maxi dresses are available in a halter style, which has straps that can be tied around the neck.
Another type of hipster dress is the sleeveless dress, which once again features a loose fit. The sleeveless dress has thick sleeveless straps with a low-cut neckline around the chest area. Hipster dresses like these are usually knee length or several inches shorter, which can easily be worn during the summer. Casual sleeveless dresses can feature a striped pattern or a simple solid color, while dressier sleeveless dresses can feature monochrome patterns and bright fabrics.
For a more casual effect, a hipster may choose to wear flutter dresses. Hipster dresses like these usually have loose sleeves just above the elbows and a pointed waist, usually below the chest area. Flutter dresses have a more flowy look because the fabric is usually ruffled to resemble ruffles. The V-neckline of the dresses also adds a touch of femininity.
The hipster’s preference for loose clothing has also developed a trend called shirtdresses. These dresses include many elements of a man’s button-down polo shirt, but are reinterpreted in a feminine way. Such details include a collar, long sleeves with cuffs, and probably a small pocket in the chest area. These hipster dresses do not have an accentuated waist, just like the men’s version of the clothing. A belt can be worn around the waist to show a more feminine silhouette.
Hipster dresses also include the jersey dress in the trend. Also called an apron, the jumper dress is similar to the tank dress, only with a squarer neckline. This type of dress is usually worn over a shirt, but can also be worn without the shirt.
Many hipster dresses are not that uncommon in mainstream fashion and trends. What makes them an iconic “hipster” outfit is how these dresses are worn. Wearing sneakers or boots instead of heels, wearing beaded jewelry instead of metal, and having a loose hairstyle will give the dress a more hipster effect.
