A few weeks ago, many of you joined me at the 5th Annual Little Black Dress Fashion Show and Luncheon. It was a spectacular day, filled with shopping, good food, and of course…a great fashion show.
If you were one of the lucky ones to be at this must-attend event, then you saw some of the season’s top trends on the runway. For those who weren’t able to be with us, I thought I would share a spinet of the fashion show with you, and show you what some of the season’s top trends are.
COLORS
Pantone tells us that the year’s color is Radiant Orchid. You will see purple everywhere this season, as an accent to prints and as the statement hue in many looks. Because purple is hot, you will also see colors that are logical ‘matches’ to that trending (for example, orange and yellow).
Bold black and white is back and is BOLD this season. This season, step out of your “color comfort” zone, and add a pop of an unexpected color to your geometric black and whites.
SHAPES
Structured shapes are also a big trend this season. Short, boxy jackets over shirt-dresses, traditional trench-coat styles in whimsical prints.
Full skirts are also something for us to consider adding into our wardrobe this season. Think 1950 housewife style. Longer is more on-trend, but can be hard to wear.
INSPIRATIONS
It seems every summer, we see a nautical feel in trends. This season is no exception. Stripes, strong hardware…all nautical inspired details.
FABRICS
One of the fabrics we are seeing a lot of this season is a heavy lace. Personally, I am in love with this look!
STYLE
The maxi dress is back and bigger than ever!
PRINTS
Prints this season have a distinct artistic tribal feel.
