Eva's Picks from the Runway-What's Hot and New
Runway shows are captivating to watch, but not all designs translate well into our everyday lives. I've curated a selection of trends that can easily integrate into your existing wardrobe. Remember, you don't need to embrace every trend - choose what works best for your personal style.
1. LEATHER - Leather is making waves in all colors, appearing in accessories and clothing across various styles and price points. While some may shy away from leather due to warmth concerns or cost (like this stunning Moto jacket from Neiman Marcus at over $300), jewelry offers an affordable way to incorporate this luxe trend.
2. CROCHET - This trend is everywhere! While it might not always suit office environments, it's perfect for pool or beach attire as a swimsuit coverup. Complement the look with crochet-inspired jewelry.
3. TROPICAL PRINTS - While traditionally reserved for vacation wear (I call them "vacation camo"), why not bring these vibrant patterns into your everyday life? These comfortable and beautiful outfits from joyshoetique.com and lulu.com are perfect for lounging. Pro tip: Sign up for their email lists to receive first-order discounts.
4. COLOR - The runway palette this season is extraordinary. Scarlet red emerges as a powerful statement color, challenging the traditional Little Black Dress. Other trending colors include Mint Green, Pink, Yellow, Classic Blue, and Neon. While neon might not be for everyone, consider incorporating it through accessories like shoes or a clutch to enliven neutral outfits.
If bold colors feel overwhelming, jewelry offers an excellent way to experiment with this trend.
5. SHORT SUITS AND SEQUINS FOR DAYTIME - These trends bring excitement to everyday wear. Working from home? Embrace that sequin top! Having a virtual happy hour? A chic short suit will make you stand out.
Remember, you don't need to overhaul your entire wardrobe each season. Many trends, like statement sleeves, polka dots, crisp white, and animal prints, continue to endure. For those hesitant about full animal print outfits, LookLove Fashion Jewelry offers affordable statement pieces that incorporate these timeless patterns.
Polka dots and white epitomize summer fashion. Pair LookLove jewelry with this stunning jumpsuit from nyandcompany.com for the perfect warm-weather ensemble.
Fashion should be enjoyable and personal. Not every trend suits everyone, and that's perfectly fine. The key is to adapt trends to your style and comfort level. Remember - YOU do YOU!
