Wedding dresses, there are those who even in summer prefer not to show even an inch of bare skin

Floor-length wedding dresses with long sleeves, often quite high-necked. The models spotted on celebrities who got married in Italy (and not only) in this scorching period, we would not have expected them to be so, let’s say, covered.

From the end of June and throughout the month of July, temperatures from north to south of the country have been in the red. This, of course, has certainly not stopped the weddings that have always been celebrated in great numbers in the summer. But, as we were saying, the ones who were surprising when observing the many VIP ceremonies of the period were the look in white.

A common and unsuspected style denominator has united many of them, in fact: from Diletta Leotta’s dress to that of Cecilia Rodriguez, from put Of Domitia Castagnini, wife of the Moto GP champion Pecco Bagnaia, to that Lucia Bramani, the new bride of Juventus footballer Federico Chiesa, from the dress of the food influencer Carlotta Peregor to theensemble by Simona Ventura. All of them, beyond the different fabrics, have opted for wedding dresses bordering on the chaste.

In the USA also the model Olivia Culpo for her most beautiful day, at the end of June, she opted for sartorial austerity, all (re)dressed in Dolce&Gabbana

An unusual choice, that of moderation, especially in a period in which the heat is a real test, let alone on the wedding day, and the temptation to strip is strong. Will there be a change of direction? Perhaps it is that after years of wedding dresses bordering on the skimpy, even with nipples on full display (and which especially in summer, thanks to the heat, left even more than necessary in terms of centimeters of skin visible) we want return to greater composure on the most beautiful day with put much less compact but (definitely) much more chic?

Of course, the question remains: long sleeves, a floor-length dress, a high neck (to boot), a maxi veil, sometimes covering. It’s nice to get married under this sun, but how do you still remain flawless? with 40 degrees in the shade? First of all it should be emphasized that choosing a dress with long sleeves even during the summer remains a elegant and at least contemporary decision in its classicism (that of the sleeves extra long that even go beyond the fingertips, is one of the strongest trends of the last few seasons).

There are strategies to consider, in fact, to ensure that the dress is comfortable in any case. Primarily the choice of fabric: silk, for example, natural yarn that can be surprisingly breathable, as well as chiffon, fresh and airy. The light lace gives a romantic touch and is not heavy, offering coverage without compromising breathability, while the tulle, usually used for skirts, it can be the protagonist of long but still airy sleeves.

Another aspect that allows a summer bride to cover up in style (without feeling bad) can be some dress design detailssuch as an open back. A long-sleeved garment with an exposed back can balance coverage and keep you cool. This is what Lucia Bramani, wife of Chiesa, Cecilia Rodriguez, chose.

Also strategic openings on the sleeves they can improve overall ventilation, allowing you not to drip with every step towards the altar.

After all, the seasonal wedding trends they take us towards romantic atmospheres and vintage which go well, to stay on topic, with clothes that are not too daring but equally sensual. We know that mid-seasons in fashion have long since passed. So let’s welcome the seasonless even in the world bridal And a return to chic austerity which is absolutely not unpleasant. At least to those who admire it from the outside.
