People choose to express themselves in many different ways, and fashion is definitely one of them. However, it can be hard to find your own style and individuality with so many different trends out there. Just remember that all trends have taken inspiration from somewhere so don’t be afraid to take inspiration from others as you form your unique style. Here are some trends that can help you find your style in what you wear.
Loosening the Pants
Pants have long been tailored to slim the body and hug it in ways that flatter curves. However, that skinny look is finally starting to move out of the limelight. Designers are starting to return to a relaxed silhouette. This look does not mean that the pants are not tailored at all. Instead, they are made to flatter the body, just not with ultra-tight fits. This style pulls from the lounging fit of athletic wear, but it is done with much more class and style.
Belting Coats
The belted coat of the 1970s has once more become popular among designers. This style is no longer popular and restricted to just trench coats. Shorter coats and sports coats are starting to reflect this style once more. It adds a layer of sophistication to an outfit that harkens back to older years with a timeless elegance that can hardly be beaten. This style also goes against the popularity of oversized coats that originally came about in the 1950s. They slim the body and accent curves in the right places to flatter a silhouette gracefully.
Cover those Eyes
Wearing sunnies is a great way to express your individuality. There are many styles to pick from, and they are made to frame and flatter the face’s natural shape. Some traditional types of sunglasses that remain continually popular are the round, vintage sunglasses and oversized aviator sunglasses. These shapes serve to be the most popular in today’s fashion, and they can easily accessorize any wardrobe.
Vivacious Shades of Red
One of the most common colors that showed up on European runways this season was red. It represents so many things, from passion to aggression. It also makes for a standout color that can hardly be missed anywhere else. Red is being found in all kinds of clothing articles, from fiery pops in shirts to darker shades in coats and pants. It is also common now to combine shades of red together instead of leaving one shade to stand alone or to accent it with other colors. For example, a dark cherry shade might be the backdrop for a bright red paisley print. This color will also serve to brighten up any neutral wardrobe that is full of black, gray, and navy tones.
Splicing Together Types of Shoes
Once more, the trend of sportswear has made a comeback from its hay day in 2015. However, it has not become popular in all articles of clothing. Relaxed-fit pants might harken back to this style, but shoes have taken it to a whole new level. Hybrid shoes are becoming ever so popular. A hybrid shoe is one that functions both as a dress shoe and has athletic overtones. Running sneakers have long been known as business casual fare, but these new shoes are taking the cake and becoming more than just business casual. They are extremely comfortable to wear and make any outfit pop with class and style. These shoes are also a great way to add some color to an otherwise dreary outfit pallet.
Conclusion
European fashion is leading the way in 2017 with some of the best, on-trend styles. These styles pull from historical favorites and make statements that can hardly be beaten anywhere else. They make people stand out from the crowd with class and elegance that another fashion season has not yet been able to compare.
