So let's continue to look at some of the top trends from the runway for this summer. As I said before, I know we are currently all cosy and snuggled up in doors at the mo as it's cold outside. So why not bring a bit of colour into our cold and grey days and lives and check out the bright, bold and sunny looks for this coming Spring Summer 2015? There is enough here to brighten up any day. STRIPES STRIPES STRIPES Everything is looking down! ....or is that up for that matter. Who knows, but all focus is on stripes. This trend is not so much nautical, but more bold and lavish. Stripes are the best way to catch attention this coming season and they are being used in a way like never before. There has been a large variety within the different collections. Stripes have been mixed and integrated well into other parts of garments or been combined cleverly. The idea of varied lines in different fabrics within different parts has featured in some pieces within the collections. Above all..... the stripes and lines are all merged with something else in a creative and exciting way. So, what do you need to look out for in order to achieve this seasons new trend? ELEGANT PATTERNS THAT FEATURE STRIPES: Think of gowns that feature a mermaid tail with bold stripes at the bottom. Look out for lace that features horizontal stripes as well. STRIPES FEATURING MIXED FABRICS: Look out for stripes that have been put together using a mix of fabric instead of a mix of colours. For example the Mui Mui skirt below. STRIPES IN ALL DIRECTIONS: Stripes combined together both horizontally and vertically in one outfit brings a fresh idea to the concept and trend. Check out the Louis Vuitton dress below. MIX STRIPES WITH OTHER PATTERNS: Colour blocking is out and pattern blocking is in! Think mix & match. Look for items that feature both stripes and other patterns. For example the Louis Vuitton jumper dress below.
LEATHER SHINES THROUGH! Considering it's the summer collection, a little bit of Autumn fabrics creeping in is not so much of a bad thing I guess. I mean, hey, that's what mixing and matching is for. Leather is featured in a few of the spring summer collections and even has whole leather coats. But as we know, there is such thing as light weight leather or even a good leather effect. A lot of the leather featured could be worn easily as leather effect. Mainly skirts were featured this year. There were some designers who stood out and set the bar for this trend, this includes the amazing Mui Mui , Alexander McQueen and Givency. How to achieve this trend and what to look out for Leather Coats: Look out for a light weight leather jacket, sleeveless jacket or Gilet for extra air. BREATHABLE LEATHERS: Try find garments that are light and airy. Alot of the leather skirts have higher slits then usual this summer. For example the skirts featured in the Nina Ricci collection. LEATHER AS AN ACCESSORY: You can still use the leather trend in a minimal way. Maybe add a interesting belt to your outfit or find something that has leather straps or cuffs but not complete leather. Look at some of the items in the Alexander McQueen Collection below for ideas.
