Game-Changing Runway
Trends
The latest runway trends
are hot off the presses! If you want to stand out, here’s the must have trends
you need to change the game, and turn heads this season.
Captivating
and Carefree Colours
Colour is the easiest way
to incorporate trends into your wardrobe. Capture attention this season with
the brightest and boldest of the pantone colours: Peach Echo, Snorkel Blue,
Buttercup, Fiesta, and Green Flash. Lay back with muted tones such as: Rose
Quartz, Serenity, Limpet Shell, Lilac Gray, and Iced Coffee. Colours that pair
well are rose quartz, peach echo, serenity, and lilac gray. Serenity satisfies
with buttercup, snorkel blue, and peach echo. Snorkel blue splashes with
buttercup, iced coffee, and peach echo. Buttercup blooms with snorkel blue,
serenity, and lilac gray. Limpet shell adheres with iced coffee, peach echo,
and rose quartz. Lilac gray clusters with fiesta, green flash, and iced coffee.
Fiesta flares with snorkel blue, green flash, and limpet shell. Iced coffee chills
with rose quartz, serenity, and lilac gray. Green flash fuses with snorkel
blue, serenity, and limpet shell. Colour your world at, Hudson’s Bay, Joe
Fresh, Aritzia, Simons, Aldo, Nike, Old Navy, GAP, Tommy Hilfiger, and American
Eagle.
Fab
Fabric Revolution
Shiny fabrics shimmered
on the runway, think silks, satin, sateen, taffeta, organza, and charmeuse.
Designers are using sequined fabric, or adding adornments of bling, glitter,
and sparkles to their creations. Another new trend this season is knits for
spring! Marled/multicolored knits are a hit on the runway and are a must have
for consumers, think heather fabric and chunky multicolored knits. Knits are
comfortable for everyday and can be dressed up or down. Ladylike lace and
naughty net fabrics are making a huge appearance on the runway. Designers aren’t
just using these fabrics to add subtle touches but to create entire garments. Find
fab fabrics at H&M, Forever 21, Express, Nordstrom, Le Chateau, Hudson’s
Bay, Guess, Laura, Urban Planet, Gap, Old Navy, Zara, BCBG Max Azria, Free
People, Anthropologie, Simons, David’s Bridal, Saks Fifth Avenue, CHAMPS
Sports, Hot Topic, bebe, and Adidas.
Pinpoint
on Pattern
Popular patterns this
season are stripes, plaid, and florals. Striking stripes spanned the runway and
you can rock them vertical or horizontal. Prodigious plaids are still in.
Fanciful florals flourished the runway in many colors and sizes, think poppies,
roses, and daisy’s. Traditional English garden patterns with ladylike, roses,
lilacs, and wildflowers are making a huge comeback. Pinpoint your pattern at
H&M, Forever 21, Brandy Melville, American Apparel, Tommy Hilfiger, Garage,
Aritzia, GAP, Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy, Topshop, Topman, Zara, and
Hudson’s Bay.
Reinvented
Classics
That 70’s look is still
in with the fringe, suede, and lightweight denim. Bomber jackets have been
given a modern look or oversized for comfort. Classic white shirts are
completely redesigned with cut outs, puffy sleeves, ties in the front,
oversized ruffles, and prodigious pockets. Designer’s looked to the past to
give us Victorian and Spanish inspired garments, with puffy sleeves, high
collars, bright reds, wraps, and vintage feels. Reinvent your classics at Hudson’s Bay,
Nordstrom, Free People, Forever 21, H&M, Anthropologie, Club Monaco, and
Saks Fifth Avenue.
Stylize
Today style is all about
shape, structure, and movement. The laid-back, comfortable, oversized, gender
neutral look is in and here to stay. Trendy cut out shoulders, flowy dresses
and skirts give us a sexy sultry look. Oversized ruffles and petite pleats
command attention. Perhaps the most comfortable trend yet, lingerie, slip
dresses, and daywear pyjama sets are totally in. Stylize yourself at Yorkdale Mall, Toronto
Eaton Center, Bloor-Yorkville, Queen St., or Yonge and Eglington.
