Top 10's

IN

Bejewelled outfits and everything that shines! The key inspirations from collections at Milan fashion week derived from traditional Mediterranean garments from Spain and Italy. The toreador inspired looks were based on black, white, gold and yellow. Whilst usually a masculine style, designers such as Balmain and Moschino produced ranges that were young, feminine, extravagant and unique. The style is taking to the streets in a big way with everything from jewelled jackets, vests, embroided sleeves and hardcore accessories.

A flare for peplums. A fad thats taken the market by storm and everyones doing it. It wont last long but while it's here it's a must get.

Patterned wedges, loafers and heels. Not only are wedges taking over the stiletto, they are becoming more colourful and patterned every season. Shops such as Topshop and Asos have shoes on the market that have incorporated vintage style loafers with wedges to create an all new shoe fetish.

Bright hair! If celebrities are doing it, everyones doing it. In whatever shade they desire.

Pastel nails and pastel clothing is the fresh new look on the runways from the previous bright block colours. Except now it's blocked together as an entire pastel outfit in every shade, and it clearly works.

Stripes forever making a big impact on the catwalk as fashion is getting back to basics. Runway collections are leading the way in jailhouse bold stripes, and it's taking to the streets due it being one of fashions more accessible trends. 

Dark lipstick has emerged on the catwalks to create an edgier look against bright collections.

Sweet whites come up every season and Valentino continuously repeats amazing lace dresses, coming up with a new look every season. Strong large lace prints have been found by multiple designers trying to embrace the look.

Collaged bold prints, and alot of it! Art has been paving the way for designers collections including Katrantzou's 10 piece collection for Topshop, which is having a major impact on street fashion becoming brighter, and a lot more interesting with colourful patterns and bold collaged prints. 

Neon accessories are perfect for those who aren't brave enough to wear an electric outfit. They can keep it simple with a bright accessory to liven up a dark outfit. 

NOT SO IN

Denim overload has been done and it's been done enough. The celebrities took it to the streets but the trend has long passed.

Slogan t-shirts and the 80's trend has gone out for the time being. While it keeps re-appearing on catwalks the current trends are alot more classic and fashion forward.

Hippies

Bumster low flared jeans are definately out. While the wide leg pant and and flare jean have come back to the catwalks they are all very high waisted and don't drag on the ground like these would !

The gladiator sandal in whatever height, colour or pattern is a trend that has definately passed.

Jeggings are not only the most unflattering item of clothing, they are the worst trend to have hit the streets in a long time. Unless worn with a long oversized top they look dreadful, but then again that's what normal leggings were for. They are not jeans, so they shouldn't be worn like jeans. Or worn at all!

While the colour selection was beautiful the shoes were definately not beautiful. Some loved crocs, others hated them, and now the trend has passed and they are sitting in shops untouched. 

Burnt orange, burgundy and khaki tones have all been excessive in stores from clothing and accessories to bags, shoes and furniture. The colour trend is over, and pastels and other brights have moved in.

Everyone became obsessed with macaroons. The colours and range of flavours is absolutely amazing and sure makes for a beautiful picture but the treats as a dessert aren't that great. There's plenty more delicious desserts that are around that look just as good !

The mullet hair style for women.
