Our Favourite Silhouette Trends for
Formal 2025
The Formal season of 2025 is shaping up to be a snapshot of bold, unforgettable moments and silhouettes that exude confidence and allure in their plenties. Whether you’re searching for an ode to old-school glamour, planning to embrace your inner modern muse, or haven’t even begun your journey into this realm of dressing yet, then we’re here to help you find a style suitable for every Formal queen. At Club L, we’ve hand-picked a Formal collection of trend-driven shapes and fits that will not only command the room’s attention on the night of all nights but will also leave your wardrobe with a new event staple that can be worn again and again.
STUNNING & SCULPTED
THE PUFFBALL GOWN
For those out there who are destined to make a dramatic and impactful Formal entrance, the puffball meets mermaid silhouette is our ultimate showstopper. With a fitted bodice that is intricately corseted through to the hips and drifts into a flaring detail that kicks out at the knees, this design helps to accentuate your curves and leaves an undeniable hourglass figure. Crafted from rich fabrics of shimmering satin, sumptuous velvets or premium scuba crepe, this gown becomes even more striking than before. Explore a palette of deep jewel tones, midnight black or creamy ivory to find the style that lasts long after the Formal night and becomes your new go-to gala look, dinner attire or red-carpet-worthy moment.
CHIC & TIMELESS
A-LINE MIDI
If you’re looking for a style that’s the epitome of effortless elegance at Formal, then an A-line silhouette is your answer. The flattering shape and fit are universal and timeless, equipped with a gentle flare that lines the body to create a beautifully feminine shape. The trending midi length is a style that embodies themes of versatility and modernity for Formal season, and even post-party, you can wear the dress to a plethora of events like weddings, brunches and even upscale dinner dates in the city. Choose between solid, bold hues like cherry red or chic neutral metallics for a minimalist look to wear time and time again.
FAIRYTALE GLAMOUR
DRAMATIC BALLGOWN
If a fairytale Formal look is all you’ve ever dreamed of, then the voluminous ballgown look is made for your moment. With layers upon layers of creamy tulle or organza to make a dramatic effect, the full skirt is the perfect way to make a statement from each and every angle at Formal. While such a prominent look may seem exclusive to this event, it’s actually a certified go-to for many formal occasions such as black-tie evenings and charity night galas. Opt for a design with contemporary details like bows or monochromatic colourways to give your look a bit of edge this Formal season.
MINIMALISTIC MAGIC
SLEEK BACKLESS GOWN
For those craving a sleek style with refined lines at Formal this year, then a backless gown is the one for you. With a figure-tracing satin silhouette, you’ll present a vibe of sophistication whilst elongating your body for a statuesque look. This style is elegant to a T, and ideal for anyone who’s seeking an understated glimpse of glamour. It’s also the perfect option to be re-worn after the Formal night, especially for any upscale events like black-tie dinners or boujee cocktail parties with the girls. Keep an eye out for styles that carry romantic detailing like drapery or lace, as they can add that extra wow factor to an open-back design.
VERSATILE & PLAYFUL
HIGH-SPLIT HEMLINES
If you can't decide between something short or long, then using a high-split feature for Formal can solve that. It’s the best of both worlds! Revealing one leg not only adds a seductive vibe to your look but also makes it easier to dance that night away in. If a silhouette that is the greatest blend of drama and free movement sounds right up your street then this is the dress for you. Be sure to keep this one in the wardrobe as it can be the ideal wedding guest look even as the seasons go by, once again transitioning easily from Formal night to any future celebrations.
For Formal season 2025, the focus is to wear a silhouette that not only flatters your body but reflects your personality and keeps you looking chic long after the main event. With our carefully curated edit, you’ll find the perfect dress to make the best lasting impression in no time.
