What to expect in 2014

March has already made its deliverance and we have gathered for you the current trends of fashion and what is hot in the coming months.

PVC Materials

Plastic garments have penetrated into the luxurious fashion world. Materials that once were only used for raincoats and umbrellas are now fashioned to make timeless outer wears and skirts. PVC garments are ideal for risk-takers as they blur the lines between timeless elegance and graphic futurism.

Tip: Feel free to accessorize your style as there aren’t many options to go wrong.

Floral prints

Bright big flowers are always a beauty and to put them on fabric is just an add-on. Floral prints have resurfaced and this time to stay! The usage of pastel and neon paired with bright floral prints only brings out the elegance in the garment. Simplicity is the key for which a heavily printed attire needs lesser accessories to bring out the outfit. Dare to explore the flowery side of your personality.

Tip: Pair your florals with velvet, embellishment or even denim. Select contrasting shoes to be wild or simple strappy stilettos. You can also mix your florals with checks to give an outfit that boost.

Aztec and psychedelic prints





The plethora of psychedelic prints is expected to raid 2014. They can mix-match with neons, monochromes and embellished silhouettes to transform from casual to edgy risk-takers. These prints can also be laid down in formal shirts and suit jackets. Take the high-low tops as a souvenir from 2013 and couple them with Aztec printed leggings and pointy pencil heels.

Tip: For a subdued look, use a delicate fabric or opt for a more conservative design when wearing the psychedelic and Aztec prints as they spell fierce.

Outerwear

Long coats, boxy and kimono jackets, fringed and fur coats have all been cover-ups that redesigned an entire look. Wear your leather with fur, florals on boxy short jackets and neons with fringes…it all works! Outerwear has not only changed the face of winter but summer and fall too.

Tip: Button and unbutton your outerwear based on your entire look. Sometimes going for a traditional button up outerwear is all that’s needed.

Fringing

Risk-takers can experiment with fringe jackets or short dresses. For cautious fashionistas, pastel fringe tops with pencil skirts could be the epitome balance. Bright coloured fringed outfits tend to speak out more, but a basic fringed LBD would be perfect for day and night time. Leather fringed belts could also be the ultimate accessory to switch to a cowboy look.

Tip: Fringes can be very tricky. Wear them only if it suits your body type and personality.

Sports wear

The sports theme is unstoppable and keeps getting reformed to mould itself into the current trends. Sweatshirts are no longer caged only within the gym. Wear them in different prints with fancy bottoms and platform heels. Bring in tennis shorts and playsuits to be paired with golf hats. The sports theme gains a highly sophisticated perspective for the near future.

Tip: Use signature sports accessories and elements to be replaced with solid platform heels and elongated silhouettes.

Word play

The era of statement t-shirts have extracted all the juice out of the hipster style. Now is the time for one word disasters, the era of word play. The idea is to catch one’s attention with a word or a short phrase.

Tip: Word play tees are only for casual wear. Formalizing it would only be a fashion faux pas.
