They worked incredibly well in the streets of London: chic checks! And especially in a skirt + blazer kinda context. A pleated or ruffled skirt and an oversized blazer, that is. Oh and let’s not forget the kitten heel booties and cowboy boots. Below a little London streetwear gallery on how to look cool, chic and collected.
Who wants to wear navy blue shorts when you can sport a pair of colorful printed ones? Van Beirendonck, Kenzo, Prada and Louis Vuitton show you how it’s done. Tie dye influences, retro prints or some good old Hawaiian inspired patterns will do the trick. Tone it down with a basic with tee or, even better, top it off with a statement hoodie or a vibrant summer jacket. The summer is yours!
From a simple silk scarf to layers of tule; wearing a head wrap is the chicest thing this summer. Just ask Dolce, Etro, Tom Ford, Gucci, MaxMara, Versace Rick Owens and the rest of the long list of designer labels who joined in on this trend (Marc Jacobs and Rodarte turning things up a notch). It creates a super sophisticated look, although it’s actually the most effortless summer look to turn to. Gone are your worries of bad hair days, plus you’ve got your hair protected from damaging UV light. Simply add a big pair of sunnies and some statement earrings and you’re ready to hop from the beach to the bar. No need to wrap things up. You’ll be the last one standing at any summer party.
Dior, Prada and Stella McCartney all predicted it; the comeback of the tie dye print. And not just on surfer girl Tees, but on denim jeans, boiler suits and airy dresses. Kaleidoscopic colors too, especially at Dior, that turn this hippie inspired print into a delicate one. Who knew tie dye would ever look this chic, right?!
Pockets on pockets, bags on bags. No need to worry where you’re gonna put all your stuff this season. Jumpsuits, waistcoats, tools belts; the utility trend is in full wing. We’ve selected some effortless utility style streetstyle looks, especially outside the Fendi show, which is all about functional fashion this season.
If there’s any no brainer, ever greener, musthave, ss2019 necessity we had to point out it would be this one. The trenchcoat is back, although it never really was out of style. Pair it with some wide legged trousers, a pair of heels and some statement sunnies for a classy, classic dressed up spring look. And if you’re struggling just click through our trenchcoat streetstyle gallery from last London Fashion Week.
Paris Fashion Week may have been a little less busy this season. We still left the French capital with our fashion hearts and heads full of inspiration. Some highlights naturally were Chanel’s Winter Wonderworld by the late Karl Lagerfeld and Slimane’s new but old Celine collection. We loved Nina Ricci by the new Dutch design duo as well as Valentino’s (slightly younger) dream collection. Not to mention the gorgeous colors at Dries van Noten. Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior were guaranteed hit collections. And in terms of trends the City of Light brought us statement shapes, dazzling patterns and funky accessories. Click our galleries below to see what we’re talking about. Here are the biggest trends for fall/winter 2019 straight from Paris.
