Ever since the birth of the corona virus, the fashion industry and its once in a life time in-person shows/gathering/runway and so on have been put to a halt but just like everything glorious and necessary, the fashion industry has significantly accustomed itself to the use of great technological devices and applications to help champion virtual fashion shows, meetings and so on. This article is going to be a summary of top ten most significant bold and stylish spring/summer looks culled from major fashion runways/exhibit this year.
Oversized shoulder pad boyfriend Jackets: Create a long line silhouette and play with shapes with an 80s inspired oversized boyfriend blazer. With the help of shoulder pads, this out wear cinches in your waist and elongates your legs. Rock this with a pair of straight-leg trousers or leather shorts for an ultra-modern style. Colors that suit this trend are; powder blue, charcoal and neutrals. You can easily dress this up or down for an effortlessly chic aesthetic.
Black Face Mask: Tis the season of protecting yourself, black nose masks help you do it beautifully. Black nose masks match almost any outfit you wear and they offer great coverage for your nose and mouth.
Head Scarfs: Taking inspirations from the 50s and 60s, this sleek fashion trend is coming back in a big way. Headscarves protect your hair and add a finishing touch to your outfit without overdoing it. Choose from a silky design with floral motifs or intricate patterns or keep it simple with bold colors and block letters. When styling this accessory, you can wrap the fabric under your chin in a loose knot or have it hanging off the back of your head or let it dangle from your bag.
Sorbet Pastel Tones: Another trend that has continued to dominate this year has been pastel tones. These Sorbet inspired colors are perfect options for summer and they suite a wide variety of skin tones. Suits and separates in the soft and buttery hues elevate your overall aesthetics and will remain one of the chicest styles for seasons to come.\
Yellow Bags: This piece of fashion item has taken over the runways and streets. It is easy to replicate and timeless – choose a small clutch to spice up an outfit or find a mustard tote for your daily needs.
Folk Inspired Coats: Go all out this season with these beautiful and intricate folk-inspired coats. The intricate Tapestry on each piece of outerwear looks great with a monochrome black or brown ensemble or you can choose it in a series of other colors for a bright and interesting choice. This trend is easy to style and looks fantastic on every body type.
White Knee-High Boots: This look definitely screams 60s! The classy gogo dancer inspired boots, is a chic way to elevate your outfit. Wear it with a patterned mini dress or skirt, rollneck or a funky pair of leggings. White Knee-high boots are the sleek and sexy touch you need for your clothing items this season.
Yellow Camel Color Styling: Keep it natural with yellow and Camel color styling. This trend taken from the 70s has gotten a serious facelift. Mixing and matching these shades adds dimension and depth to your ensembles. No matter the clothes you prefer to wear, try a light brown suit or coat with a mustard turtle neck for the cooler months or a sleek tan T-shirt and camel pair of flare pants. This subtle yet flattering combination is the hottest look to try this season.
Pop Blue Accessories: Why blend in when you were born to standout? Add a pop of blue to your monochrome outfit to give it a bit of pizzaz. The beauty behind this trend is the unlimited number of options you can try throughout the season – from a duck egg blue handbag from Dior to a chic Marine Serre bucket hat, you can try it all. When styling these items, opt for all black or grey outfits. The bright hue will standout amongst the deeper shades.
Fringing on the Bags: Although this logic is quite unpopular among the masses in Nigeria, sometimes, your handbag can do the talking for you (most especially if it’s one of those days when you don’t feel like wearing any heavy clothing). This season, one of the biggest looks we’ve seen is the fringing on the bags. You can make this piece work for any event: For a classic feel, choose dark hues like brown or black, but if you want to stand out from others, take a dip into bold shades like red or green. If you’re ready to shake up go to style, this is the item to pick.
