Let me jump right in to the topic because the headline needs no explanation.
Top 5 trends of the season:
1. Lace up Gentlemanlies
Goodbye New Balance shoes, hello lace ups!
The season has taken a liking to this trend of laced up gentleman shoes whether or not they have a chunky heel or platform, it is definitely a choice for many.
In this busy country we call home, i recommend low cut gentlemanly oxfords, simple and versatile.
Pairing it with a skirt or cropped jeans(also in this season) it can look both casual or dressy.
To bring it up a notch in the fashmosphere (fashion atmosphere), pairing it with frilled socks or high knee socks would be a cute option. That is, if you can stand the heat, then again, as i always say, No Pain No Gain, woman. Far East Plaza would be a great place to get some of these trendy kicks if you are on a tight budget.
2. Cropping it Up
Girls, it's time to show off those toned tummies! As always, crop tops are a particular favorite in Singapore because of the humidity here. Especially in the Spring and Summer when it gets intensively warmer. Crops are in again this season, pairing it with anything from skirts to pants to jeans. For the more conservative dresser, a high waisted bottom does wonders to cover up while helping to show off your silhouette. For curvier girls like me, don't be afraid to take part in this trend! High waisted anything helps so much to show off your curves and lengthen your legs. A note to those with shorter torsos, a high waisted bottom will do your beautiful bod no justice, it will instead shorten your torso even more, an alternative option is to wear a jacket over if you need to be a little more conservative.
3. Culottes
Gah, that word probably reminds you of the uniforms we wore in schools doesn't it? Well, it isn't as horrific as it sounds, these culottes are more sophisticated looking and are much longer. More suited for the dressier or formal workwear, and the more daring Singaporeans. Beware of the length of the culottes, the length could shorten your legs or look awkward if cut off at the wrong places. The ideal is for it to fall lower than the mid-calf and a little higher than your ankle.
4. Midies
Last Spring we saw maxi skirts of all kinds, this Spring the skirts have been shortened. Cinched at the waist, volumed skirts, that fall eat mid-calf/ mid-ankle lengths are seen so often on the runway this Spring 2014. Going a little back in time i have to say, the time of Audrey Hepburn has returned. It could be a sweet, or vintage ensemble, of course a leather midi would definitely add that edge if you are looking for one. Pair it with heels of any kind to lengthen you legs or boots would work if you like the extra edge. So cut that old maxi skirt into a midi and hem it up girls and have fun with this sweet midi trend.
5. Checked out
Last but not least, Tartan. The past seasons have seen plaid garments everywhere, this season is no exception. Tartan is back in ladies, pairing it with denim is always grunge worthy. whether or not it is layered together or a statement piece the plaid is definitely out there. Check in at any high street store to get a tartan ANYTHING and you will easily take part in this trend. I personally love a tartan garment a thousand times more if it is frayed at any end, it makes it edgier and more outstanding.
