Dare
to Be BOLD
From galactic graphics, dainty
delicates, to pretty polka dots, we’ve seen it all. This time around, prints take on a bolder,
louder feel for the season. An organic
mixture of fresh, flirty prints and vibrant hues were emphasized down the runways of
many designers’ spring-summer 2014
fashion collections. Simplistic, geometric prints are one of the top
2014 trends you should be wearing right now, as seen on the runways in Valentino
and Carolina Herrera collections. These designers opted for strict
geometrical patterns in neutral shades for an autumn-winter trend, and migrated
to colourful, unique patterns for spring-summer. In addition to geometric prints, plaid,
stripe, and houndstooth patterns are also trending for summer. Love prints?
What better time to indulge yourself into this season’s most popular and
playful trend?
Garden Fresh
That’s right, it’s florals once again! Camouflage
yourself with tropical textiles and the elements of nature around you.
Brilliant bundles of floral patterns have all been featured on the runways of
D&G and Oscar de la Renta for the spring. Inspired by European folk prints,
floral prints are the perfect way to complement the budding beauty of spring in
your wardrobe. In fact, a must have for
the season is a basic floral print skirt. Take note ladies! The key to pulling off any
print is with confidence is to know your body type. When selecting
a floral print, remember that light colors and small patterns are best for a
petite body type. On the contrary, if
you have more of a curvaceous body type, you should pay attention to the large,
bolder patterns and focus on the darker shades.
Fierce & Feminine?
Animal print also
continues to be quite trendy for spring. Stirring away from traditional,
natural coloured prints, this spring takes an innovative approach to neon brights
and unusual tones. No matter what animal print you chose to rock, keep in mind the
features of your body shape. For
instance, a light pastel or vibrant coloured leapord print instantly attracts
attention, and emphasizes the body. However, realistically we are not all a
size two runway model...This being said, if you are the average real women with
feminine curves, it is better to select a print in classic dark colours and
pair it with a bright or light coloured
top, creating a feel of balance for the overall outfit. Without a doubt, the
animal print trend is sure to keep you fashionably fierce this season.
Mixin’
N Matchin’
What used to be a fashion
DON’T is now a fashion DO! Mixing stripes with plaid? An absolute YES! Or what
about cheetah print with floral? Why not? It’s an eccentric take on prints this
season with a daring message. Create your own dynamic style and feel free to
combine all of this season’s hottest prints. Done the right way, fashion
blogger Olivia Palermo who wore her leopard print
heels and floral trousers took a chance and hit the mark. Ladies, don’t think that trousers must always
be basic black or beige. The all over print motif is definitely not an easy look to pull off, but the
spring-summer 2014 runways showed us exactly how it can be done. Many people
may find mixing and matching quite a natural thing to do, but worn
the right way can look oh so chic! Horizontal stripes and
patterns will suit women with petite figures providing emphasis on their
delicate frame and vertical patterns will create a long and lean look for a
fuller figured woman. Add a little bit of contrast and incorporate your
favourite prints into your wardrobe. Stay fun, flirty and fashion forward this
season.
