Top FASHION TRENDS TO EXPECT IN South Africa
Top FASHION TRENDS TO EXPECT IN South Africa
Now that we’re all (hopefully) in the full swing of things and gearing up for a Top FASHION TRENDS .
there’s no better time to update you on some of the major trends we’ll be seeing in 2018, so that you can start making some room in your cupboards.
Some we saw emerging last year, but will be making their big impact this year.
Culottes
Wear it with: Tuck in your fave blouse or throw on a tight vest, add a pair of stilettos and you’re good to go!
TIP: If your pants are high-waisted, it’s important to wear a cropped top to balance out the length.
Off-the-shoulder neckline
This trend is all about flaunting your bare shoulders – it’s the perfect subtle and sexy look for this season.
Wear it with: Accessories for days.
Opt for a statement necklace or stack on same arm candy for that boho-chic effect.
Print Clashes
Prints are never going to go out of style, and now the next big thing this summer is print clashes.
For true fashionistas, clashing is a head-turning fashion statement and a fun way to transform outdated soloist pieces into revived ensembles.
South African fashion designer, Rina Chunga, says it’s time to spice things up this summer and break the rules by mixing different patterns and prints.
“Rather than wearing prints with a plain color, we are now mixing prints with more prints.”
Pattern-clashing is not an entirely new dimension to fashion.
It is definitely one that keeps re-emerging on the runway.
Chunga showcased her African print collection at Top FASHION TRENDS Week last month.
She says her collection was inspired by her deep love for Africa.
Matching sets
From the runway to the streets, this trend hit the ground running.
Recently, we fell in love with fashion blogger Aimee Song’s all red ensemble – and she didn’t even look like a tomato!
Matching is tres chic this year.
Wear it with: Heels for work or nights out, and sandals or flats for a chic daytime ensemble.
Bomber jacket
We already told you last year that the bomber was going to be a major hit in 2018, and this year it’s all about playing with fun colors.
Wear it with: A pair of skinny jeans for balance and killer heels, or opt for sneakers for a fab sports-luxe vibe.
Either way, make sure you keep the jacket the main attraction.
