This season, it seems a lot of the latest fashion trends are making a comeback, either from the 70’s with the wide leg pant, or the 90’s with the yellow tinted sunglasses worn by Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child.  It’s all about bringing the old and revamping it with new accessories, bolder prints and more about bringing out the uniqueness and style of each.

1. Oversized Striped Top

4. The Floral Statement

Florals, floral prints, roses and more flowers are all the hype this season.  Oversized coats and kimonos embellished with colourful floral prints add femininity and style to any outfit.  As a fashion trend on its own, it can be worn with simple black leggings, a solid colour or striped top and a pair of heels.  The good thing about this look, is that it can be worn all year round, paired with a chunky knit sweater during the colder months, or worn with a tank top, it’s an ideal for all seasons.

A work of true craftsmanship, this embroidered skirt is like wearing a piece of art, featured on the Gucci cruise 2017 runway show.  Tailored from multicoloured silk and cotton blends, this mini skirt can be worn with a simple tee and heels; or for a full on Gucci style look, clash with patterned colourful top and statement style booties or heels.

6. Tinted Sunnies

Yellow Tinted Sunnies

Last 2016 season, it was the oversized sunglasses setting the trend, perhaps some fine detailing as well, dark lenses or the irregular shape sunnies.  This year, it’s more about the yellow tinted lenses that are creating all the hype.  Celebrities such as Gigi Hadid,Kylie Jenner and of course Bella Hadid have been spotted wearing the latest trend.  Basically transparent, and not really blocking out any sun, they can be worn late into night, as they won’t be blocking out your vision.  What’s great about these, is they can be worn with an all black outfit, as a colour accessory, or combined with a colourful and full of attitude outfit.

7. Straw Purses

These are not the straw purses or beach bags you know of, we’re talking about the round, rectangle or oval little purses, perfect for this summer.  To be worn with a pair of espadrilles, jeans, ripped or not, and your favourite comfy tee.  This Bali style trend is walking its way down the runway, and has been part of the Dolce & Gabbana and Charlotte Olympia fashion shows.  A perfect little purse to remind us of summer picnics in the park and long beach days spent at the beach.

8. Embroidered Denim Mini Skirt

Denim on denim, or embroidered denim, denim is still a big part of fashion these days.  Back come the mini skirts, a trend from the early 2000’s, only this time revamped with more intricate details and fine stitch work.  More for the street style trendsetter, denim skirts are best paired with either a simple tee or striped off the shoulder cotton blouse, for a perfect out of the town look.

Staying trendy and adding new pieces to your wardrobe can be overwhelming sometimes.  Choosing from a few of these pieces will keep you in the loop, and you can always combine with your own style by adding a few of your staple pieces.
