London Fashion Week Recap

Two fashion weeks down, two more to go! Let’s take a look at our top 10 favourite trends from across the pond.

Under my Umbrella

If there’s one thing Londoners know plenty about, it’s the rain. To make sure the weather doesn’t dampen your style, bright vinyl raincoats as well as transparent embellished ones give your old windbreaker a run for its money.

Ruffle Your Feathers

Delicate and fluttery, this trend is the perfect way to show off your femininity. Paired with sheer fabrics or cutouts, you can master the edgy yet feminine look.

Pastels

If I could wear baby pink, or better yet, millennial pink head-to-toe every day, I would. Enjoy your dark knits while you can, because come this spring, stores will be filled with these sorbet shades.

DIY or DI-Buy

The do-it-yourself look of panels and patches is hot for this season. Lucky for us who are craftily challenged, this one is already made for you.

Silver is the New Black

Is there a more iconic outfit than Paris Hilton’s silver ‘dress’ she wore to her 21st birthday? Now you can recreate her look as come spring, there will be plenty of ways to make a statement in silver sequins.

Valentine’s Day

Drawstrings

Athleisure isn’t going away any time soon (not mad about it), but this season we’re introducing a new element: the drawstring. Added to waistlines and necklines, it brings a new element of comfort.

First Cut is the Deepest

Deep slits and cuts are the perfect way to edge up an outfit and add some breeze to your outfits while we’re surviving Kingston’s scorching hot fall weather.

Sheer Me Down

If you want to show skin, yet still keep everything covered, then this sheer trend is perfect. Sheer outerwear is the perfect way to cover up and show off that fire outfit underneath.

White T-Shirt Contest

Use that plain old white t-shirt in your closet and re-invent your wardrobe. These outfits use layering to turn plain pieces into perfection.
