While the runway presents what’s coming next in fashion, the streets showcase not only the future but also what’s on-trend right now. So, if you’re looking to keep your wardrobe up-to-date with lust-worthy looks for spring/summer, I’ve rounded up the top trends from the season for you to add to your shopping list.
Short Suits
Short Suits have taken a fresh approach for spring, co-ord sets are a must. One of my favorites this season for sure.
Structured Statement-Makers
Handbags are taking a unique, more structured approach for spring. To add some interesting notes to your look and go from drab to fab, add a statement bag.
Nothing But Neutrals
It doesn’t get easier, or more accessible, than the omnipresent beige trend for spring, but that’s not even why we obsess over it. The neutral possesses the ability to elevate any outfit thanks to its luxe-looking nature and easy-to-incorporate tone. You will definitely will be seeing this trend for a while.
Loving Leather
Leather? For spring? Yes, you read that correctly. In both real and faux, leather dresses, outerwear, and separates were seen on more fashion week 19 runways than we could count. From light colors to neutrals, aside from being seasonally unexpected, it’s also one we can start wearing now and hold on to for years to come thanks to its timeless nature.
Biker Shorts
The biker shorts worn with blazers are offering a fresh blend of sportswear and tailoring, the look was both striking and chic. Of course, while it may not be appropriate for either the office or the gym, the outfit is perfect for strutting the streets or attending Sunday brunch with your best friends. So, don’t be afraid to try it for yourself. Total attention getter.
Sneakers
Sneakers have long been the footwear of choice for many industry icons. After all, comfort is a must when you are on the run. This season, however, the usual cast of comfortable, lace-up shoes took a turn towards the more chunky sneaker style. From metallic and multi-colored designs to super sized styles with sleek curves, this season’s sneaker selection is fit for the space age. Not everyone is a fan of this trend, but it has honestly grown on me.
Boiler Suits
Utilitarian designs appeared in all the major fashion cities throughout this year's fashion weeks. Of course, one particular style stood out from the pack. Originally designed as a one-piece protective garment for manual labour, boiler suits are now as fashionable as they are practical. To rock the look for yourself, just pick the cut and color that suits you best. Can't wait to buy one, asap.
Puff Shoulders
The minimal trend is over, bold ruffles, oversized silhouettes, and statement puff shoulders on both dresses and blouses are trending. Simultaneously striking and stylish, these puff sleeves added a fun ’80s twist to modern outfits. Try the look yourself if you’re after a powerful and fashionable daytime style. Just be sure to keep the rest of your look subdued, so you don’t appear over-the-top. Can't get enough of this one.
Jewelry
Accessories are critical for a stylish and polished look. By adding a nice mixture of jewelry with a variety of textures and colors, you can easily turn a very basic outfit into one that looks exceptionally chic and well styled. This spring it is all about contemporary and full of attitude pieces. To wear the trend yourself, embrace an assortment of jewelry pieces, such as statement earrings, layered necklaces, hair barrettes, and bracelets.
