5 trends to fall in love with this season
As we anticipate the coming of a new season, we think of new wardrobe inspiration. After all, what would spring be if not that time of the year when we can indulge in color, break out of the routine dark monochromes and experiment with interesting silhouettes?
Spring 2015 brings an array of fabulous proposals with endless possibilities, from the touch of light but rich fabrics, new colors and the most interesting prints. Needless to say, the most exciting trends come in all shapes and sizes and can be adapted and played with. All meant to turn heads. Here are the top 5 trends:
Flowers
Flowers have definitely blossomed as a spring essential. This season they adorned catwalks both boldly and subtly. Flower patterns as seen at Fendi and Michael Kors were both loud and demure when placed on classic and flowing silhouettes. Some used embroidery and appliques to create an even richer botanical experience. No layer or further embellishment is needed as these spring icons can pop up in any attire to boost an outfit or simply make you feel more into the season. As an ever joyful and spring print, the flower trend might have just turned into a classic that everyone needs.
Denim
A resilient denim made a full force comeback this spring, giving character to runway ensembles. Full body denim suits at Stella Mc Cartney, fitted jackets, oversized blouses, military inspired dresses, mini-skirts, and even embellished jeans at Dolce and Gabbanna were incredibly refreshing. Light-tinted demin and darker, more classic ones offer the chance to take out the old, try on the new and pick the most flattering shade for your skin tone. It’s all about mixing, matching and revamping your style with new denim pieces. Forget what you learned about denim; this season, let it take on a full expression as it returns as fearless and versatile as it can be.
Gingham
These tiny checks once considered a vintage print are certainly one of the biggest buzzes for spring. Seen everywhere, gingham is the statement of the season taking shape into different shapes and shades all leaving a sense of refinement.
Impeccable big pastel checks such as that of Oscar de la Renta showed soft preppy looks. More daring designers sculpted the print in younger silhouettes enhanced with pops of color. Even the most sophisticated brands made the cut with easy, light dresses to wear everywhere. This new energy given to gingham has gone positively stylish. Redesigned into crop tops, pencil skirts, relaxed button-down dresses and even charmingly feminine fitted blazers makes it one of the most covetable prints this season. The ladylike print has never looked better, we recommend it not for picnics but to play with, for it can be subtle, daring and fascinating.
Romantic Bohemian
Romantic light prints on vaporous fabrics made for beautiful maxi dresses this season. Designers such as Valentino, Erdem and Altuzarra offered sheer and busy-patterned collections with a bohemian flavor. A medieval hint graced deep V-necks in all sorts of dresses both long and short. Earth tones and intricate appliques allowed feminine variations of this summery and lusty trend, perfect for this time of year. If you want to steal gazes and inspire deep sighs, bring this trend to your wardrobe.
Fringe
This season’s fringe is all about standing out. Powerfully embellished pieces that ranged from dresses to skirts and bags highlighted runway outfits of all styles and sorts. Made up of a variety of fabrics and materials, fringe is the potent season must-have most designers stood up for. These small, medium and long strands have given a new sense to basic pieces, adding amazing texture and movement. While often thought of as bohemian, fringe shows sophistication and elegance.
