Fashion Trends come and go but some styles never really leave us. The mini skirt, for example, is considered one of the most iconic fashion trends in history.
Pair a long cardigan with a blouse and jeans for a pulled-together look. Alternatively, layer your favorite jacket over a sheath dress for a dressier look.
Oversized Blazer
Among the modern women’s clothing trends that are currently taking over the fashion world is the oversized blazer. This is the perfect fashion piece to add a chic touch to your outfit. It is also great for spicing up any casual look.
Oversized blazers are the ideal outerwear for spring and summer. They can add a sophisticated vibe to the smallest sundresses and crop tops. They can also tone down a dress that feels too formal for casual wear.
You can pair an oversized blazer with jeans and combat boots for a more edgy style or a midi skirt and chunky shoes for a more feminine look. A blazer also looks great with a bodycon dress for a sexy ensemble. This look is perfect for anyone who loves to take risks with their fashion choices. You can also opt for a long blazer to add a formal touch to your outfit. This is great for office wear or a date night.
Midi Bodycon Dress
A modern classic, the midi bodycon dress is a wardrobe must-have for any forward-thinking woman. It’s perfect for casual luncheons, baby showers and dates nights thanks to its demure, ladylike length and bold attention-getting pattern.
A midi bodycon dress looks particularly chic when you pair it with a stylish belt to cinch your waist. This will create a flattering silhouette that will accentuate your curves and elongate your torso.
Another way to cinch your waist is by pairing your bodycon dress with the daggy dad runners or chunky street kicks trend that’s been dominating both runways and high-street fashion. You can also wear a black bodycon dress with a white shirt or t-shirt to create a clean, polished look.
Sleeves have been ballooning on both the catwalk and the high-street, with ruffles, puffs and frills taking centre stage. A more mature version of the oversized sleeve is the cut-out, which offers a sexy alternative to the sheer dresses that have been dominating the fashion scene (think Alessandra Rich and LoveShackFancy).
Wide-Leg Pants
After years of skinny jeans, the wide-leg trend has settled into a mid to high-rise, slimming silhouette that’s flattering on every body type. Pair yours with a leather biker jacket (smooth or distressed, it’s your call), sneakers, a fitted turtleneck, a tee or a bodysuit for a look that feels modern and on point.
Roomy khakis that fall above the ankle are also making a statement this year. Whether they’re decked out with zip details and rope belts like in the NonChalant label version, or have an easy-going coolness like in the Y2K cropped version, style them with sneakers or flat sandals to create a smart casual vibe.
If you’re looking to elevate the style with a dressier touch, try out flowy wide-leg pant jumpsuits as seen at Proenza Schouler and Jacquemus, or channel Annie Hall with a mint green ribbed knit matching set. The key to a flattering silhouette with baggy trousers is playing with proportions, so be sure to pair yours with a tighter top like a ribbed cardigan or fitted turtleneck.
Faux Fur
Faux fur is a highly versatile fashion fabric that strikes the perfect balance between durability and softness. It works perfectly for everything from shaggy faux fur coats to fuzzy winter blankets and can also be used in accessories with intricate embroidered designs and heavy threading.
Initially used as a cheaper alternative to animal pelts, faux fur has now become an indicator of modernity and responsibility. It’s no surprise that several of the biggest luxury brands such as Givenchy, Gucci and Fendi have completely ditched animal fur from their collections.
To wash your faux fur piece, make sure it’s made of a high-quality polyester and set your washing machine to cold water on the delicate wash cycle. Use a laundry detergent with odour control technology like Comfort Intense Fuchsia Passion to help neutralise malodour in fabrics and keep your clothes looking and smelling their best. Once washed, gently squeeze the excess water out. Be careful not to wring or twist your faux fur coat, as this can cause the fibres to become misshapen and lose their softness.
