Searching for some new year style inspiration ahead of the madness of fashion month? Look no further. From skirts over dresses to outsized sleeves, here are eight unexpected street style trends to keep you ahead of the it-crowd this season.
-
Terracotta
This warm orange hue is the street style shade of choice for the coming season, and looks especially good when paired with easy neutrals like camel and navy.
-
Top-to-toe florals
Floor length florals will put a spring in your step, whatever the weather is doing. Choose retro, Seventies style blooms or smaller ditsy prints.
-
Extreme fringing
It’s been kicking around for a while, but the Seventies trend isn't going anywhere. Channel it in the most stylish way possible by upgrading your outerwear to a fringed style in warm jewel tones.
-
Layer upon layer
There’s more to this trend than wearing everything in your wardrobe at once, in the style of Joey from Friends. The coolest way to layer this season is to pair a midi-length dress or skirt with a shorter, wrap around version.
-
Statement stripes
Whether you go horizontal or vertical, pin-striped or graphic, the humble stripe is an easy style update for spring.
-
Twinning
It may not be a trend that you can buy into, per se, but 2016 looks set to be the year of 'twinning' - wearing a matchy-matchy ensemble that compliments your best pal's outfit, a la Kendall and Gigi. If it works for Mary-Kate and Ashley...
-
Super-sized sleeves
Yes, having sleeves that extend way past your wrists is a little (OK, extremely) impractical, but it's the best way to play with proportion in 2016.
