Okay so I’m gonna try to tell you about these Savana dresses that are kinda trending these days. Honestly, before I googled them, I had no clue what they even were. I thought maybe it’s something to do with savannah in Africa or some safari thing? And yeah kinda right lol.
What Are Savana Dresses?
So basically, these are dresses that are loose, flowy, and mostly made with light fabrics like cotton or linen. They usually have earthy colors like brown, green, beige, or even some tribal prints and stuff. They look super comfy and chill, like you can wear them anywhere but still look a bit stylish.
Sometimes they’re maxi dresses (like really long) or midi (middle length), or shirt style with buttons. Some have boho vibes too, like tassels or fringes. Honestly it’s a bit confusing cause there’s no one style called “Savana dress,” it’s more like a vibe or theme.
Why Are They So Popular?
I think it’s coz people want comfy clothes nowadays but also wanna look trendy on Insta lol. And Savana dresses give you both. They are easy to wear, don’t cling to your body, and you don’t sweat in them.
Also, since many use natural fabrics, some peeps say they are better for the environment. Idk how true that is, maybe some brands, some not.
Plus the colors and prints kinda give you this nature-wild vibe which is cool if you like that kinda look.
Different Types
There’s so many types that are called Savana dresses now:
-
Maxi length ones that drag on the floor or just above
-
Midi length that end below your knees
-
Shirt style dresses with buttons and collars
-
Boho style with extra stuff like tassels or embroidery
-
Wrap style that tie around the waist
Each has its own look but all are comfy and flowy.
How To Style Them?
Honestly, you can just wear sandals or flip flops and be done with it. Or if you wanna be extra, wear some big earrings or bangles. A hat makes you look like you’re ready for safari lol.
If it’s cold, throw on a denim jacket or shawl. Makeup should be light or natural so it matches the earthy look.
Where To Buy?
Online stores have tons of them now. But be careful some are cheap quality or super expensive for no reason. Always check reviews or pics from buyers.
Etsy is good if you want handmade or unique ones. Local boutiques might have them too.
Who Should Wear Savana Dresses?
Everyone!! They suit almost all body types and ages. But if you’re short, maybe skip the super long maxi dresses coz they can overwhelm your frame.
If you want something comfy but stylish, go for it.
Care Tips
Since they’re mostly cotton or linen:
-
Wash in cold water
-
Hand wash if you can
-
Don’t wring too hard
-
Hang to dry, no machine dryer
-
Iron on low heat or steam
Otherwise your dress might get ruined or shrink.
My Thoughts
I got one recently and it’s so comfy. Like pajamas but you can wear outside and people won’t judge lol. The print was nice but a bit loud for me. Also, it was a bit see-through so had to wear something underneath which was annoying.
But I really liked how loose and free it felt.
Some Cons
-
Some fabrics are thin and see-through
-
Prints can be too loud or weird for some people
-
Not good for super formal events
-
Need special care washing
-
Maxi dresses might not suit everyone
Conclusion
Savana dresses are perfect if you want casual, comfy clothes with a bit of style. They’re great for summer or vacations.
If you want a chill dress that looks good without much effort, give these a try.
Fashion should be fun and comfy, and Savana dresses get that.
