What's Trend-In?

Around the globe in 4 weeks? New York! London! Milan! Paris! 
Yes, a jam packed fashion calendar indeed. 
Had the fashion capitals unanimously accepted the idea of 'see now buy now', I would've been documenting spring/summer trends, but I have no regrets not doing so.  Following the 'when-you-see-three-count-it-in' rule, and juggling between high school obligations and catching up with the global fashion month,here is a compilation of the trends that have got me hooked . 


Cropped Trousers




Hands down one of my personal favourites. Not to sound too bias, but certainly bags the top rank in the most workable trends list. Yes, this trend is so chic and its here to stay! Defying all seasonal factors, it can be carried well all year round. And the best part? There's a perfect fit pair for everyone; have fun discovering yours! 


Ruffles



Sweet. Sensitive. Sensual. Fancy. Nothing speaks more feminine than our beloved ruffles. And its no more restricted to spring/summer. Ruffled hems, ruffled necklines, ruffled sleeves, ruffled skirts, ruffled pants even! A trend too busy ruling the runway this fashion season. Season after season, ruffles are being reinterpreted. We can safely say that its not fading anytime soon. 

Bomber Jacket




Want to pull up your sport-luxe game? This is the trend for you! I did have my share of doubts about this one, but with it being increasingly spotted being worn by street stars around the globe, it was bound to find itself a spot in the list. The good news is that it now comes in a wide range to choose from; from embellished to embroidered, you name it , you have it.

Metallic

                        

Certainly not for the faint hearted wanting to play it safe. Nobody wants to be seen as a knight in shining armor, which makes this trend kind of risky. It is better to under-do it than over-do it; this calls for a strategic mix of dressy and casual. The runway played witness to subtle hints of metals, in just the perfect amount. 


(Faux) Fur




Its no secret that Autumn/Winter is synonymous to fur! Faux fur, yes please. (Winter sans fur, is that even a thing?) Since London, Milan and Paris put down their foot and clearly declined the idea of 'see now buy now' which was invading the traditional idea of fashion seasons, the fur had its role to play acting as the fall/winter element in most of the runway shows. This time over, the fur was seen strategically being placed along the neckline. 




...and thats a wrap! Till next time!
