Top 10 Trends Bringing In 2013

Top 10 Trends Brining In 2013

Article By: Rome White

While 2013 may have only just begun we are already seeing some of the hottest trends to invade women’s fashion for this year. While a lot of the trends may not be my favorites they are hott, and adorned by a majority of female fashionista’s everywhere. Take a look at some of the fashions below.

Boudoir Beautiful

Loving the lace and leather look for a variety of reasons (a lot of which aren’t PG). Leather is hott this year and lace is well always hott if in the right amounts, and in the right places. All three of the looks have the leather and lace placed just right, and all three looks are simply amazing.

Bright Leather

Well, I told you all last year that leather would be huge and sure enough it is. This time though taking away from the darker side and making room for a more spring friendlier brighter colors. I love the look by Isabel Marant. It’s a simpler look, but sometimes less is more and I believe this to be especially true if you are going to wear leather anytime except in the Winter.

Black Blazer

The black blazer is a MUST have for any true fashionista. I mean how can you go wrong with it? It goes with virtually anything that you have in your closet so it’s a safe choice on those chilly nights you want to want to dress up and look cute, but stay warm at the same time.

Bold Stripes

I like the bold stripes, it’s different. The pinstripe has been around for some time now and although it has its benefits and can be quite sexy when worn correctly, I think the bolder look gives the classic “stripe” a bit of an edge (at least with the right garments).

Ruffles

Ruffles are back. I have mixed emotions about them though. I mean on one hand they can be a bit excessive (The turquoise Gucci ensemble for instance), on the other hand they can be quite playful and sexy. Like the black and white Balenciaga skirt in the middle; it’s very playful but sexy at the same time.

Crazy Shades

Shades have always spoke volumes for those who choose to wear them. You can tell who prefers a safer look, and who dares to be different. 2013 is the year of the crazier shades (which I love Lady GaGa for always pulling off), and I can’t wait to see some of our favorite celebs stepping out in them.

Flats

Okay, so the picture about, wasn’t maybe the best to advertise the flats for the season, but it’s their in a more of a metaphoric sense (if that makes any sense). Flats have always been hott, it just seems that 2013 will be the year that they get their shine. I personally love to see a woman in heels, and for those who love to wear heels I always advise them to carry a portable pair of flats in their bag so they can switch out when need be.

Chokers

Wow, talking about bringing back the 90’s. I thought we saw the last of these seems like decades ago, but I guess everything will have a time to revive its reign. Don’t know what to really say about them, except they do add a different look to any outfit.

The drop-waist line

Hmm…Well I don’t exactly know what to say about this style. It does take away attention from where your waistline is, and draws the attention elsewhere, but some of the looks for this style aren’t as appeasing to the eye.

 

 

Baggy Bermudas

Not a big fan of the baggy look. It kind of throws off what could be some pretty amazing looks, but at the same time it adds sort of a masculine edge to an otherwise feminine look. The baggy Bermudas are in for 2013 and I will be interested to see just how fashionistas will dress this look up…or down.
