An article long in the making that will help you find your way through the huge flood of trends. I "love" statements like everything is in fashion, the mix of materials is important, or this spring announces the return of the 90s. For the average person these are meaningless clichés, and that's exactly how it then looks on our streets. A-DIS-AS-TER! So it's not only important to know the trends, but also to know how to wear them and fit them correctly into an existing wardrobe. Since I assume that you, my dear readers, don't work in high fashion and don't work at Vogue, I'm bringing you trends adapted to our Slovak conditions and suitable for a woman's everyday wardrobe. So that you are trendy and well dressed, but just right. Because we all know that pumps or sandals with a square toe and cycling shorts are in fashion, but I can already see you going to work in those mini-short leggings and square sandals. Ouch! And that's why every upcoming trend that I think is interesting I'll introduce, and in further articles I'll also show how I fit them into a wardrobe. For now I think it's enough to introduce these 4 must-have things that you should get!
Trend no. 1: Neon
Bold, glowing neon is exactly what we need to add to our wardrobe after a long and sad winter. It combines very well and easily with neutral colours such as grey, black, or white in spring and summer. It will be worn on almost everything, from coats to swimsuits, but believe me, you don't need a loud pink suit or a neon yellow coat. Although for spring I expect an Instagram flood of exactly such inspirations, don't be tempted. If you are among the more rational consumers of fashion, or more conservative characters, definitely pick something from the neon accessories, such as trainers or a handbag (in the picture Pinko), and you have the trend "in the bag". I also chose a neon polo neck from Lindex in the collage, which I'm also wearing in the opening photo of the article, and I'll see what else will "tempt" me before summer... You'll find more inspiration for neon fashion in the article "Neon trend: How to wear it?"
Top spring cut: Puff sleeves
Who doesn't remember the series Dallas and its unforgettable padded-shoulder blazers?! Sleeves that visually slim your waist and hips are making a comeback. Don't wear them only if you are really tall, or a former swimmer with broad shoulders. They suit the remaining 98% of the population. I recommend getting a blouse or blazer with such sleeves and you'll have the status of a fashion connoisseur among your colleagues ahead of the pack. The illustration photos are from Zara.
Which handbag is in fashion?
Well, the belt bag or a round one, of course. If you still don't own a belt bag, it's high time. The practical and very fashionable "belt bag" is a must-have, and if you are brave, get it in a maxi version and you can wear it crossbody, i.e. diagonally across the body. I'm completely blown away by the beautiful and affordable models that I discovered at Mango. What do you say to them?
If you still resist belt bags despite this and are totally resistant to this trend, round handbags also play a leading role. They are worn by day and by night. Here is an example of which ones and how:
Shoes? Rubber and PVC
If you have the feeling that there is a lot of PVC on the streets, it's only the beginning of the fashion. It started last season with rubber slides costing several hundred euros, offered by fashion brands such as Givenchy or Balenciaga, but for the coming season absolutely every brand has them in its collection, from Zara through CK to Gucci. So if you see ladies in town in slides as if they had just come out of a sauna, those are the "trendsetters"
