Five spring trends to try right now

 

I am a firm believer of following the fashion trend that suits one's body and personality, and not being a fashion victim. But this season, I am seeing some trends anybody and everybody can follow, and if done tastefully, everybody can pull off.

1. Pastels - Spring is the season of color. And bright colors are always in vogue during this season. But if you are not yet ready to explore the color wheel in all its deep shades, try delicate pastels. Try a single hued pastel dress or color block with two or more different shades for a day to night look.

2. A Hint of Neon - Neon is 'the' trend for Spring 2012 and is going to stay here for the good part of the summer too. A head to toe neon is difficult to pull off- unless you are Nicki Minaj - but a hint of neon in your outfit, accessories even in nails can liven up your look. I love neon handbags and necklaces for their color and style impact.

3. Peplum - Peplum is the style where an extra flounce is sewn into the waistline of a fitted sheath, skirt or a jacket to create an hour glass figure. This old Hollywood glamour style has taken the fashion world by storm this year. No matter what size or shape you are, peplum style outfits always flatter the body.

4. Colored Denim - This trend has been there for past couple of seasons, but this Spring, colored denim is everywhere- from celebrities to fashion bloggers to the sidewalks of the City. Even Duchess of Cambridge came on board with this trend during her visit to London's Olympic Park!

5. Print Mixing - Print mixing this Spring/Summer is what color blocking was last fall/winter! There are no rules and no limits. Mixing tribal patterns with botanical prints, polka dots with florals and stripes with abstract prints create unique, fun styles that will leave you looking fresh all season long!

Which trend(s) are you currently sporting/most likely to try?

2012 Fashion Trends: Neutral Shoes

Nude shoes are one of spring's biggest trends.





SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES

Nude shoes as worn on Malin Ackerman (left) and Kristin Davis are one of the biggest 2012 fashion trends.

Suddenly, it's chic to go nude. In shoes, that is.

One of the biggest 2012 fashion trends is neutral shoes and they are flooding stores and red carpets alike.

The allure of neutral-colored shoes is that they mix back wonderfully with citrus brights (like Kristin Davis is wearing) as well as look modern when worn with red (instead of wearing black shoes.)

Another big benefit of neutral-colored shoes is that they make your legs look longer. Strappy nude sandals (photo, left) give your entire outfit a breezy, barefoot look so they are a natural for sundresses, white, lace and eyelet this season.

Although you may be tempted to go with a bright polish on your toes to play off the neutral, keep your toes neutral also to keep the whole foot in neutral territory (there are lots of beige polishes, as well as light metallics that will work.)

Fashion Trends: Taking it to the streets

How do you navigate the minefield of this winter's key style trends without treading on a fashion bomb? Melissa Kent guides the way.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so, too, is fashion - an adage to bear in mind when contemplating its offerings this winter. Take the penchant for clashing prints, a retina-searing look that throws together florals, stripes and polka dots in a riot of colour that is one part crazy, two parts fabulous. Some will find it a refreshing rejection of the fashion rule book; others will take one peek and retire to a darkened room with a migraine.

And what about the latest catwalk craze, the pyjama suit? Yes, that's right. PJs. Jim jams. Jarmies. Pyjamas - or matching shirt and trouser suits, to be technical about it - are having a fashion moment outside the bedroom, a look that is undoubtedly one of this season's wackiest, but welcomed nonetheless, by those too lazy to get dressed in the morning. So, let's get this winter's key looks off the catwalk and into the real world.

PYJAMA SUITS
How, indeed, does one wear an outfit that looks like it belongs under a doona or teamed with uggs for an emergency dash to the shops? Unlikely as it may seem, the pyjamas-as-leisurewear trend is shaping up as a bona-fide look this winter, featuring in collections from Stella McCartney and Dolce&Gabbana to Gorman, Limedrop and Bianca Spender. While those in the know may realise you're wearing a Stella McCartney paisley-print shirt and trousers - worth the price of a small car - to everyone else it looks like you've forgotten to get dressed.



White Suede peplum dress, $360.

So how do you wear a pyjama suit without feeling like Hugh Hefner? According to Kristy Lawrence, whose label Flannel includes a floral version in creamy silk, a certain swagger is required.

"There is a danger of looking like you're wearing pyjamas, and you do need to carry it with confidence," she says. "I would keep my hair and accessories very clean and neutral so the outfit spoke for itself. Simple but glamorous." Designer Amanda McCarthy, who included three shirt-and-pants suits in her Leonard St. range this season, says a pair of killer heels or ankle boots can take the look out of the bedroom.

Stylist Franco Schifilliti, however, is worried. "Look, Sofia Coppola looked really chic in Dolce&Gabbana's pyjama suit in Vogue but unless you have her pedigree, it's something that should stay in the bedroom," he says. "I don't think we will be seeing this on the streets too often. It's for your diehards. I could be wrong, but it does look like you've just woken up."



Arthur Galan Mongolian fur vest, $449; tie-side slouch blouse, $279; stretch leather pant, $698.

Stylizit.com.au's Caaren Hulme concurs. "It looks great on models on the catwalks but it requires real attitude for everyone else," she says.

If you're not brave enough to carry off the top-to-toe matching shirt-and-pant suit, you may like to dilute the look by pairing statement-making pants with neutral accents or a block-colour blazer for a more wearable, everyday approach.

PEPLUMS
What, you ask? Good question. A peplum, for the sartorially ignorant, is an extra swathe of material around the waist in the form of a structured frill or flounce, usually attached to the bottom of a bodice or jacket.



Jigsaw orange sleeveless dress, $299; Harley leather bag.

When they began popping up on the European catwalks last year, few would have guessed they'd be taking the high street by storm this winter. After all, a trend that makes your hips look big is hardly every woman's dream wardrobe addition. But that's fashion for you and thanks to directional designers such as Louis Vuitton's Marc Jacobs and Balmain's Christophe Decarnin, this 1940s silhouette is back in the spotlight and destined to be a big trend. While high-street chain stores and designers have embraced the peplum, Schifilliti says it should be approached with caution.

"I'd call this a tread-carefully trend," he says. "This is not a look for pear-shaped figures or anyone with heavy hips. It works best on slim shapes and gives a defined waist to a rectangular body shape."

Yeojin Bae, whose winter collection features elegant cocktail frocks with streamlined peplums, says it works best for most figures teamed with a pencil skirt. "I think they're a really flattering way to give women shape, especially the waistline," she says. "I've done peplums before and one of the reasons I've come back to it is it's really beautiful on the female body. And there is a level of comfort when you have a peplum on your waistline, especially when you're sitting down. I'm always looking for ways to create a really beautiful feminine silhouette, while at the same time, making women feel comfortable."

A trend that does not require us to suck our tummy in has our vote.

COLOURED FAUX FUR
Just when we thought fashion had finally cleaned up its act and ditched fur, here it is again, making a comeback on international catwalks. Last season Louis Vuitton had kangaroo, Marni had hamster and Wooyoungmi had beaver. When Gucci showcased a luxuriant collection of furs in burgundy, mustard, camel and teal, it was only a matter of time before local designers followed suit and trotted out their own ranges. Fortunately for all involved, it's mostly of the faux variety. At the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival last month, coloured faux fur was everywhere from Arthur Galan and Manning Cartell to Joveeba and Arabella Ramsay. You can embrace this trend wholeheartedly with a fur coat or gilet, or just give it a small nod with a scarf, collar or fur trimmed-coat. While it can add warmth and a touch of luxury to an outfit, Hulme says petite women should be wary. "It's very theatrical and adds real depth but small women can be overwhelmed," she says.

"They're fun," Schifilliti says. "They're obviously fake but it proves that shaggy faux fur lives on long after the hippie look has faded from the spotlight."


Tony Bianco Kavana Magenta kid boot, $199.95.

And here's another fun faux fur fad to watch out for: ear muffs are tipped to be big this season. You have been warned.

LEATHER
As with most trends, less is more and you can get the leather look this season without committing to a black leather jumpsuit (although Ellery is doing a particularly sophisticated version, should it take your fancy). If you'd prefer to mix a smaller leather element into your outfit, look for a skirt, jacket or even a dress. Some of the best this season include Flannel's patchwork mod-style tunic dress, Gorman's soft pencil skirt and Joveeba's canary-yellow mini with suede geometric details.

Flannel's Lawrence is renowned for her use of neutral leathers in simple, flattering cuts. "Flannel really is about using a variety of textures each season and one is leather," she says. "I love leather because it ages beautifully, it smells and feels wonderful. It's a lovely, clean fabric that goes with just about everything."



Schifilliti says leather should be treated as an investment. "Quality leather is not cheap, so forget that it's going to cost $800 and think of how many times you'll wear it over the years," he says. "Go for a beautiful classic leather blazer because there are so many ways you can wear it. I really have a reservation about leather pants.

Unless you have a figure like Jennifer Hawkins or are a faded rock star, then don't go for leather pants." Hulme suggests layering your leather with winter woolies such as a knitted scarf or textured opaque tights for a softer, cosier look. "Or if you want to be really dramatic, team it with leather boots," she says. "It depends on your mood."

PRINTED BLAZERS
Best don your darkest sunglasses: last season's dalliance with colour blocking has given way to its crazier cousin: clashing prints. And the wackier, the better. This winter you can get away with a floral jacket over a spotted blouse over striped pants and no one will laugh in your face (although they may snigger behind your back).

Printed blazers are the key to this look and there are plenty to choose from. Lisa Ho blazers are festooned with elegant floral patterns and tiger prints; Zara has polka dots, animal prints and zebra stripes; Moss and Spy's 1960s-inspired floral-print coat dress could be direct from the Mad Men wardrobe department. While it can instantly add a dash of sophistication to a cold-weather ensemble, if you do choose to team your printed blazer with clashing prints, stick to one colour scheme, Schifilliti warns.

TANGERINE
If ever a colour was going to divide a nation, it would be orange. Some love it, some hate it. Sadly for those who believe it belongs in a vegetable patch, it's everywhere this season. Pumpkin hues preside at Cue, Veronika Maine and Country Road, carrot-coloured dresses adorn the racks at Jigsaw and Sportsgirl, while designer labels from Manning Cartell to Bianca Spender are aglow in every shade from mandarin to neon tangerine. The problem with orange, according to Hulme, is that only 17 per cent of the population can wear it: redheads. It's all to do with skin tone.

"They're the only ones with enough vibrancy in their palette to carry it off," she says. "Tangerine is a really warm vibrant colour and if you don't have vibrancy in your own palette - in your hair colour, your eye colour and your skin colour - you really struggle with all these strong, vibrant fashions."

Rather than follow the perennial "just buy an orange scarf" rule, try calming down the effect with some accessories such as gloves, tights or a leather bag. Or even a coral lipstick, says The Circlefashion presenter Anthea O'Connor. "If the idea of orange is just too frightening, that's a great way to try the trend without overinvesting," she says. Schifilliti adds: "Many people may not want to fork out for an orange coat or jacket, but just add it in a scarf to make the whole outfit zing."

COLOURED WEDGE BOOTS
Ugly shoes are having a moment and it's best we step aside, lest we get our toes squashed. Aside from Prada's snigger-inducing "flatforms" and Acne's clumsy-clown high-heeled brogues, on a local level the footpaths are being abused by myriad coloured wedge-heeled boots.

With an aesthetic displaying all the grace of a Lego brick, these clumsy-looking shoes seem deliberately designed to cut off the ankle at the least flattering point. Hulme agrees: "You're putting yourself all out of proportion because the eye is drawn down to your shoes," she says.

"If you must wear them, it's better to go with a nude- or caramel-coloured one that doesn't cut the leg off at the ankle."

Thandie Newton: Trends make me anxious

Thandie Newton's "palms sweat" when she thinks about following the latest trends.

The actress is famed for her natural beauty and understated style, and prefers to steer clear of fad fashions. Thandie thinks people should chose clothes that suit them, rather than sporting pieces just because they're in fashion.

"The idea of following trends makes my palms sweaty," she explained to People. "I think that we have all these wonderful things available, [and] you have to find whatever speaks to you in terms of style - something that allows you to then speak to the world."

Thandie is a mother of two. The 39-year-old star says her daily beauty routine is very low maintenance due to her chaotic schedule.

"If I'm getting ready for the school run and I look in the mirror and I just look exhausted, I will get some Julie Hewett cheek rogue," she revealed.

"I'll put that on the apples of my cheeks to make it look as though I've had a wonderful run in the morning - even though I haven't!"

The raven-haired star's no-nonsense approach to style and beauty also extends to the red carpet. Thandie sometimes does her own make-up and hair for public appearances.

"If my favourites are busy, or I'm in another country and they're not around, I'm doing my own," she smiled.

New York Fashion Week: Trends in women's wear

A new generation of fashion designers comes into its own with fall looks that are stylish, wearable — and affordable.
With mid-priced collections as upscale-looking and lavishly detailed as those on the New York runways for fall, who needs to pay top dollar for fashion?
So much of the excitement during the New York Fashion Week shows that wrapped up on Thursday was about the so-called advanced contemporary category of labels that cost less than high-end designer collections without sacrificing style. Among those creating a buzz: Rag & Bone, Tory Burch,Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim,Helmut Lang, Theyskens Theory and even theJ. Crew Collection. (The entry price for advanced contemporary collections is about $295, and the most expensive pieces are around $1,000, which is closer to the entry price for high-end designer collections.)
"These are the designers of the future," says Stephanie Solomon, fashion director of Bloomingdale's. "When you think of the old guard, ofKarl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren, as much as I respect them, they are not spring chickens anymore. These designers are going to usurp them. And they are making clothes with beautiful quality, innovative fabrics and silhouettes. In the future, I envision an entire level of our store based on these up-and-coming, talented designers."
These more affordable, accessible lines offer head-to-toe dressing, with accessories and outerwear. And they hit on all of the trends seen this week, including sleek, minimalist tailoring; Asian influences; black-and-white graphic schemes; and bright color-blocking. Key pieces for a fall wardrobe? A pair of statement pants in a colorful jacquard or print and with a tapered silhouette, worn over a pair of pumps (Manolo Blahnik forJ. Crewperhaps?); a shift dress or a pencil skirt that hits below the knee; and a fun swing coat or fur accessory in an eye-catching texture and hue.
We saw the return of the suit (albeit a nontraditional sort of suit), including the camel and cream color-blocked karate jacket belted over trousers at 3.1 Phillip Lim, the wrap-front blazer and black jeans at Helmut Lang, and the pink schoolboy blazer and pants atJ. Crew. In addition, sweater dresses made a comeback at Kimberly Ovitz and the Rachel Zoe Collection.
TheJ. CrewCollection, which is slightly more expensive than the basicJ. Crewofferings, is the chain store's version of advanced contemporary. And it is looking darn good.
Creative director Jenna Lyons and head woman's designer Tom Mora have ratcheted up the sophistication level, offering more tailored looks in edgier fabrics. Nordic sweaters topped tinsel tweed, python or pleated-leather skirts, and pants in metallic jacquards or scarf-print silks were paired with the pointy-toed Manolo Blahniks. Color-blocked clutches and totes trimmed in curly lamb fur rounded out the picture.
Burch's collection was more polished than ever, full of ladylike, embroidered tweed jackets and skirts, tulle and chiffon dresses with organza flower appliques, crinkled leather jackets and structured frame bags with plastic paillette and tortoise details.
There was a lot of eye candy — rows of pearls on the collar and cuffs of a cardigan jacket and matching pencil skirt with organza eyelet hem, jeweled flower buttons on a gold lamé coat and sequins dusting a houndstooth plaid skirt.
Rag & Bone designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville are also proving to be a formidable force on the New York fashion scene. Their fall collection was English countryside-meets-the-Raj, with layers upon layers of rich-looking pieces, including motorcycle jacket-tailcoat hybrids, jersey dhoti pants, tweed wrap skirts and coppery Lurex knit sweaters, plus all the must-have accessories (such as herringbone platform riding boots) that keep fans coming back to the brand.
Stylist-turned-designer Rachel Zoe was inspired by the London rock 'n' roll scene of the late 1960s, and her collection was a balance of the glam and the wearable, with all the Hollywood entrance-making maxi dresses and shaggy faux furs that fans have come to expect from Zoe, alongside flared trouser suits and velvet tuxedos, gaucho jeans and melange sweater dresses.
Zoe's line is barely a year old, but is well on its way to being a success. Come fall, it will be in 300 stores. Another advanced contemporary star is born.
