Statement stripes
These stripes definitely make a statement! Stripes were always in, but this year they are bigger than ever. Vertical, horizontal, black, white, colored, thick and thin, just choose the ones that highlights your figure. During New York fashion week, this trend was the star on many runways from a simple striped shirt to complicated zigzag patterns. Marc Jacob created a jailhouse look in the 1960′ using shades of black and white. Michael Kors rejuvenated the stripes with bright emerald green, red, yellow, and navy colors applied on bathing suits, dresses and sweaters. Dior presented a pink and black striped formal outfit.
Monochrome
Black and white might seem dull, but this season you can’t go wrong with monochrome fashion trends. Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga brought this style to life and now it is back on the runway. Two weeks of fashion proves that opposites attract and there is no ending to this classic, elegant look. If you already have some black and white items in the back of your closet combine them to create a chic outfit. Carolina Herrera fancies a white top matched with black trousers or a black skirt. Coco Chanel is known for her preference for a white blouse under a black Boucle Chanel suit. Carolina Herrera paired a black boxy jacket with a harem-esque pant.
Flower powers
All women should know how to highlight their femininity. As such, the best fashion advice for women who wish to look more feminine is to befriend floral prints. Holly Fulton decorated her dresses, skirts and tops with over sized posies and paraded her impressive floral outfits. Viktor & Rolf preferred to adopt a bold look with metallic flower prints. Floral fashion trends on the runway were presented on blazers, accessories, skirts, pants and tops. Prints, metals and embroidery adorned unique designer creations and quickly became viral. Celebrities embraced the new fashion bouquet and chose a simple hip look. If you want to create a floral outfit, try matching a dress with a vintage floral pattern belt. A floral skirt and lace top will highlight your features.
Cobalt blue
The most daring of all 2013 fashion trends, the cobalt blue is a bold statement made by designers like Kenzo, DKNY, Lacoste, Victoria Beckman, Paco Rabanne and Moschino. This electric color is perfect for a summer night and looks great on fair skin tones. You can choose a pair of cobalt jeans, blouse, dress of sweater and if you don’t want to spend too much money go with a scarf or a handbag.
Women’s jewelry trends
Fashion must always be complimented with accessories and we all know that the best accessories are the precious ones. Since cobalt is the color of the year, try to look for statement necklaces with cobalt stones. This year’s women’s jewelry trends focus on extravagance and exuberance so don’t be shy to combine different precious metals and always choose statement pieces in detriment of small jewelry.
