International fashion circuit is buzzing with action, as A-listers and social media influencers are setting the trends for the New Year with clothes that are anything but minimalistic
Check out what to wear and not to wear in the New Year and rock the trends that are easy to adapt in your everyday affairs.
Art-infused clothes
Art has paired up with fashion to create the exotic art-infused trend, which feature clothes with screen prints of works by popular artists. This trend, which hit the fashion world during the Spring 2018 shows, demonstrated the power of this colourful fusion.
New denim
Although jeans has continued in its present avatar for several long seasons, it is now getting into an all new denim with designers seeking to turn it into the loose and comfortable cargo pants. While the regular denim shade has received a dark wash in every form of jeans – even the structured dresses – it is its cargo pant status that will see the fashion industry creating pants in camouflage, khaki and even army green variety.
Flower power
Think floral, think retro. Fashion takes inspiration from the 60s styles to add a fresh new appeal to the regular floral. Whether it is a pretty dress or a two-piece set, flower prints will be a rage.
Lavender love
Ultra violet – that’s the pantone colour of the year. But with pastel colours in shades of lavender finding an eternal connect with all those who crush on pastels, it is set to add that special touch to fashion pieces, even pantsuits.
Plaid talk
Pastels and plaids… Right, plaid is back in style and designers have given plaid a big vote to inspire fashionistas to check out plaids in street styles. Plaid accessories are also trending, ensuring that the print is everywhere.
Plastic approach
Fashion wear in clear plastic may not find a footing in this part of the world, where summer heat can make one wonder if it could fry an egg on the sidewalk, but the international fashion domain is buzzing with clear plastic outerwear, as top designers have gone all out to give it a new welcome.
Dress up
Evening dresses in dazzling shades and designs have all the right touches to make a beautiful fashion statement this year. Whether layered or ruffled, sporty or knitted, romance is made of dresses that have been stitched to match your personality.
Pant forever
Pants are staples of every wardrobe, but 2018 will dictate newer cuts and looks to give it a new feel. Watch out for skinny pants and palazzos in varying sizes, even extra long.
Retro athleisure
Workout clothes are taking inspiration from the 80s and 90s, taking athleisure gear to everyday wear.
Mini appeal
Read that as micro mini. It is, apparently, back, but it hasn’t managed to oust the midis and maxis. The cuts are more creative with soft lines giving the look a comfortable feel. The focus is on making it functional with minimum details.
Stay trendy this winter with this fashion advise.
