While we’ve all been marveling at the F/W trends on the runways of
various fashion weeks, let’s take a moment to not set our sets too far ahead
and peep what we’ll be wearing if spring OR summer finally decide to grace us
with their presence. Here are a
few trends explained with options from local stores that are a little more in a
normal person price range. And hey, if there are any items to skimp on quality
with, it’s trendy items. Cause if Project Runway has taught me one thing it’s
that one-day you’re in, the next you’re out.
Crops
As Erin mentioned, if you’re not already, you should be doing crunches.
Gym? Crunches. Grocery shopping? Crunches. Eating bacon? Crunches. You’ll need
your abs to be toight if you’re planning in partaking in the crop trend
happening this summer. Everything from blouses to basic t-shirts are shrunken
to show off your muffin top. So start up Kanye’s workout plan ASAP.
90s
Grunge
Been hiding your Nirvana fangirl tendencies since 1991? Don’t fret. 90s
grunge is back. Seen in subtle prints and cuts, it’s not full on Kurt Cobain,
but you’ll be able to infuse a few badass pieces into your flowy summer
wardrobe.
Lace
I feel like this trends has been around for a while. I guess its classic
appeal lends itself to most seasons. I love the idea of pairing something so
delicate and feminine with say a 90’s grunge piece or even a burglar stripe.
They say contrast is the spice of life, right?
Burglar
Stripes
With mod influences seen in every store, it’s not surprising the black
and white motif has morphed into a fashion favourite - the stripe. Horizontal,
vertical, maybe even diagonal, you’ll be seeing these everywhere with every
girl hoping that they will help her resemble Coco Rocha. If only I could rock a full strip pant suit (sigh).
Perhaps this post will have the opposite effect of Murphy’s Law and
spring will arrive tomorrow and Erin will be able to wear different shoes. And
we will all rejoice by fashioning an on-trend ensemble combining 90s grunge,
crop tops, lace, stripes, and cutouts in the most formidable display of power
clashing.
