Now that Spring/Summer fashion weeks across the globe are officially over, here’s the verdict on the top style trends for this year:
1.Bucket Hats
Originally a true 90s accessory we hoped to leave behind, bucket hats are back with a vengeance since they’ve been in style for the last few years. This is great news, considering how all of us need a good hat for sunnier days anyway. Now you can keep a cool head and add some effortless style to your wardrobe with a bucket hat.
It doesn’t matter if you like them with a logo, pattern, or solid colors, these edgy brimmed hats are the perfect summer carry-on if you want to stay trendy.
2.Leotard
An essential for ballet dancers and performance artists, leotards are now becoming a summery staple that covers up without adding too many layers. You can pair a printed or solid-color leotard with contrasting pants or a skirt. Wide-leg trousers create a perfect silhouette if you want something lightweight without showing too much skin.
If you’re looking to invest in a leotard to mix and match different looks, opt for quality over quantity, because a well-fitted and designed leotard can go a long way.
3.Puffy Shoulder Sleeves
While winter brought about an era of statement jewelry, like earrings and chunky bracelets, the summer of 2019 brings back statement puff shoulders on blouses and dresses. The new designs are a distinct touch of flair to the 80s fashion.
Perfect for a day look, make sure to keep the rest of your outfit subtle, so you don’t look overdone. While blouses match perfectly with jeans and fitted skirts, try a bodycon dress with puffy sleeves for a dynamic look.
4.Tuxes and Tailoring
At this year’s spring/summer fashion shows, brands like Celine and Givenchy suggest that you drop the evening dress for something more functional and nonchalant, like a tuxedo. A chic and modernist tuxedo can do wonders to accentuate your figure while helping you stand out from the rest.
On the other hand, your day look can be tailoring-inspired as well, as suggested by Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Burberry. Designer brands displayed a shift from fluid styles to clothes that delivered sharper lines and a smooth silhouette.
For instance, Burberry showed off a pulled-together look that was less edgy as compared to a full suit but got the message across with tailored trousers and a tucked-in shirt.
5.Boiler Suits
This summer, drop fashion for functionality with a staple one-piece boiler suit. Nonetheless, fashion brands like Celine and Giambattista Valli amalgamated the two aspects to create show-stopping yet effortless closet staples.
How should you pull it off? It’s simple; just choose a specific cut that highlights your body shape, and a color that complements your skin tone. With long sleeves and multiple styles, there’s no limit to the options for you to choose from. Not to mention, since it’s a classic and simple, design, you can easily find affordable options at high street brands.
6.Animal Prints
Who said wild prints were out of fashion? Okay, maybe we all thought that the 90s saw the end of animal prints, but let’s just say they’re back, and they look awesome. Although wild and animal prints made a comeback a while ago, this year’s spring/summer fashion shows saw plenty of bold leopard prints as a favorite.
Paired with bright colors and stylish outfit choices, such as jumpsuits, dresses, and pants, these prints can bring out your inner wildcat. Combine printed staple pieces with solid color options to retain a balance.
7.Ruched Dress
If you’re going to spend money on a dress this season, make sure it’s a ruched dress, which adds beautiful detailing to the traditional bodycon style. When carefully designed, ruched dresses have a unique potential to accentuate one’s figure.
If you have a slim body type, it’ll add more curves and if you’re on the curvier side, you’ll like how the dress stretches and fits well in all the right places. Brands like Givenchy did it right by balancing ruched detailing with rich, accordion pleats. On the other hand, brands like Calvin Klein add a cinch to the waist with ruched detailing.
8.Shorts
Who knew that shorts would make it back to the runway, especially as the leading look for formal apparel? This year, luxury brands combined athleisure with formal attire by adding biker shorts under blazers for a postmodern vibe that amalgamated the importance of a good fit and fine tailoring.
Not only was the look chic overall, but it was captivating as well. Brands like Regina Pyo, Prada, and Chanel showed off their takes on the distinct trend. If body-fitted biker shorts are too bold for you, trying something with a slouchier style or satin finish can help you get away with the skimpy summer trend.
9.Tie-Dye
Although this year’s fashion shows saw plenty of comebacks, there was also a revival of a DIY-esque summer fashion trend: tie-dye clothes. It was deemed a favorite for fashion influencers this year. Previously, the style was an element of a classroom art project, but brands like Dior, Prada, and Stella McCartney are taking it a step further with distinct artisanship to create dynamic and symbolic kaleidoscopes of Avant-Garde design.
While Dior showed off the trend with artistic flowing dresses, Prada offered simpler lines and primary shapes. Comparatively, Stella McCartney stuck to basic tie patterns and subjects with T-shirts and baggy trousers.
Now that fashion week season is over, it’s time to give your wardrobe an upgrade with all the latest fashions you think will complement your personality. Carefully scour out affordable versions at high street fashion brands to find what expresses your sense of style the best.
