Fashion Trends 2015

Being fashionable is not about copying what you see on the runway, it’s about taking elements of what the designers create and conforming that to your own style. It seems the designers have decided to take a look back and celebrate the 70s and not in a subtle way. As they say, fashion and trends go in a circle, old ideas are being presented in a new way with a nice twist to bring together the old and the new.

Fashion Trends 2015 – Style

This summer bohemian-styled dresses are going to be the hit, letting us relive the hippy style with light dresses perfect for the summer. Designers chose to create jumpsuits with big buttons adding statement jewelry and defining the waist with a belt. Delicate black and white lace pieces are still in style, revealing a bit of skin while still having a romantic aura to let your feminine side shine. Also, ballerina-inspired fashion, with long tutu skirts and dresses will grace the stores with their presence. Alternatively, nautical and military styles are also in the game having a baggy fit and powerful voice.  Some designers like Giambattista Valli created minimalistic pieces toning down femininity and offering a more dominating stance. One-shoulder dresses and tops will be joining us this year as well.

Fashion Trends 2015 – Patterns

Fashion likes to broaden our horizons and push the boundaries with many designers choosing to mix different patterns and materials leaving the pieces looking like patchwork, but still have a magnetic appeal. Polka dot will never be out of style, pieces will play with layers giving a bold statement. Though not a new combination, black and white designs will play with our eyes because of the interesting and complex patterns they form.

Fashion Trends 2015 – Colours

Khaki is the big hit this year with many designers creating pieces with this timeless color. Good news for girls who like being the stars in the club because the shine is still in and going strong. A loud red will get you noticed this year with many models working the distinctive color on the runway. If black and white are too much of a contrast for you definitely go for stylish blue and white outfits. Bold color combinations and eye-catching patterns will be a must this year.

Fashion Trends 2015 – Accessories

Obi belts are the go-to accessory this year leaving you effortlessly chic with a well-defined waist. Comfortable footwear like flats and sandals are your feet’s good friends this season. Also, since there was such a spotlight on pieces inspired by men definitely look for menswear flats. Going back to the old days, the pendant necklace will be your go-to choice.

Fashion Trends 2015 – Makeup and Hair

Accent your eyes with bright blues or dark browns drawing all who pass by. If this isn’t your style a natural look with light shadows like pastel, also it seems that the lower liner is coming back with a bang. The refreshingly organic look with pinkish cheeks and a bit of rosy lipstick will make you seem fashionable without spending a lot of time in front of the mirror. The Spanish look with long dark hair and cherry lips will be a big hit, as well. Also glitter is still in so use it to bring focus to your eyes while making them look bigger with black eyeliner. As for hair it’s all about looking like you didn’t make much of an effort with low ponytails and wavy soft curls framing your face. The wet hair look seems to be coming back; you could let it loose or style your bangs while tying it in a low ponytail. Another way to go is to take inspiration from the 40s with a long bouncy hairstyle.

This year’s fashion seems to be playing with our views on femininity going from one extreme to the other. Though some may find it hard to pick a road to travel, you mustn’t limit yourself to one choice. Fashion is about playing with your look and using different styles to express your individuality.
