1 of 8Click Through For The Top Trends of the Season
2 of 81. Fancy Florals
Supercharged posies, tattoo blooms and 3D blossoms – for S/S 2014, florals have had a serious makeover. Do mine the herbaceous boarder but forget about chintzy prints and frumpy frocks.
3 of 82. Fondant Shades
Pastels, and pumped up fondant shades were seen across countless runways in all four fashion cities. Wear head to toe for an off-kilter take on girly.
4 of 83. Shine On
Satin and metallics in every colour of the rainbow brought a heavy dose of glamour to proceedings this season. For a cool shiny vibe go for a satin suit or else work sheeny fabrics for day to night – these piece are far too pretty to be saved for best.
5 of 84. Logo-Mania
Next season we’ll all be wearing our style on our sleeve as that 90’s staple makes a marked comeback. Whichever message you choose to transmit, make sure it makes a subversive statement.
6 of 85. Sheerly- There
Transparency is key once again this season as designers continue to persuade us to flash the flesh. Tops, skirts, dresses, shirts – basically anything goes as long as its see-thru.
7 of 86. Pleats Please
The corrugated skirt is the star buy of S/S 2014 – indeed no wardrobe will be complete without one. Luckily all sensibilities from upscale lady to grungy hipster are catered for with mini, maxi and midi hemlines.
8 of 87. The New Silhouette
Long-line tunics teamed with skirts have created a modern take on the classic flapper silhouette while simple dresses have been updated with dropped waists. It’s a marmite trend, for sure and certainly trickier the bustier you are on top.
As the world’s fashion editors get their feet back under their desks after a month on the road, the time is ripe to reflect on the season’s biggest trends. While we will have to wait a few months for the Spring/Summer 2014 collections to drop into store and there are countless additional micro-trends that we will be obsessing over in weeks to come – think orthopaedic shoes, skirts over jeans and strings hanging from everything – in the gallery above we have whittled down the most important looks of the season.
