You might have already noticed, but there are a lot of men with beards lately. Just take a look around, especially during the fashion weeks, and you see them everywhere. Like they all decided to let it grow.
It seems like a beard is becoming more and more of a style statement for men. Like a good hat or a graceful pair of glasses, a beard can do the same thing. It often gives a man more attitude and character and it signifies masculinity and confidence. Sometimes that rough edge can make him look very interesting too. They all look totally different when it comes to their personal style, but they all share this one remarkable style element: a beard.

A cool hats is the perfect finishing of a trendy look. It will make heads turn in the streets and if you wear it during the international fashion weeks you will definitely get your picture taken by the fashion paparazzi. In Milan and London we spotted Olivia Palermo and Rachel Zoe sporting their signature hat looks, but we saw many more cool headpieces. Like a cap with bunny ears attached to it, a leather aviator hat and let’s not forget the leopard cherries on Anna dello Russo’s hat.
Out of all hats we spotted this season, we selected our Top 5.

If you ask us, studs and leather are the best combination of things since macaroni and cheese. And we’re not the only ones. Leather and studs have been a big hit for decennia. You can spot them anywhere in the streets. It doesn’t even have to be fashion week.
Yet if you wanna see some true treasure examples you’ll have to go to Milan, London, Paris and New York. During the latest fashion season we’ve seen the tough trend popping up everywhere. We saw some cool examples on shoes, bags and leather jackets worn by women as well as men.
Anna dello Russo wore her studded leather Versace for H&M dress as one of the first in the world. And since that collection has just been launched, we expect the trend only to get bigger.
In bloggerland there’s even a serious trend of Do It Yourself studded fashion items. So next season we’re sure going to be seeing many more studded styles on the streets.

For years they were assumed to be dull and old fashioned, but thanks to designers like Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney polka dots are top notch again. A year ago wearing a polka dot dress might have been a woman’s worst nightmare, now all girls want to get their hands on this fabulous print. Dresses, skirts, bags and even tights with polka dots on them have become the it-items of this fall/winter.
The good thing about it is: you will never have enough. Besides the blouse you’ll need a skirt, tights, scarf and even shoes with polka dots. Plus, after you’ve collected all the classic shades (blue, black, white, red) you can always start to collection the less obvious colors like neon, purple and orange.
Once surrender to this trend you’ll discover it’s Way Fun!
Just check our gallery below for some extra Polka Dot inspiration.
Streetstyle Trend: Show some skin

Sexy and daring or subtle and sophisticated: transparent fabrics, we’ve seen them everywhere during the fashion weeks and now the fashion crowd is taking over. From see-through tops and blouses to chiffon dresses and long tulle skirts.
Transparent fabrics often have something delicate en soft, but the good thing is you can do everything with it to give it a whole different look, which results in many diverged and interesting looks on the street. For instance Olivia Palermo. She knows how to nail a trend and always does it in her own elegant, lady-like way. Like this black dress. The little print on the sleeves make her look like a sexy, almost Italian woman.
But transparent doesn’t always need to be very chic. You can also go for a more cool downtown look, like the neon colored dress. The black bra en skirt underneath give it an even more edgy and playful feel to it. Or go like Giovanna Battaglia for a sporty dress, like the one from Ohne Titel.
Off course there is only one person who rocks this trend on full force: Anna Dello Russo. As you can see she is wearing a beautiful Stella McCartney dress, which reveals almost half of her body. She’s definitely not afraid to show some skin.

Tonight we celebrate Dutch Fashion with the Dutch Fashion Awards here in The Hague. The shows starts in almost one and a half our, and we can already feel the tension and excitement backstage. Everyone is working very hard now to make this evening a great success. Stylists, hairdressers, models, assistants and designers are running around to get everything and everyone ready in time. A final touch here, some little detail there. Everything needs to be perfect.
While a bunch of models are already getting dressed and practicing their walk, others are waiting and waiting, while listening to their favorite music, until it’s their turn to get dressed. And it’s looking good so far. We see some big, poofy hair and mysterious red lips. The rest you’ll find out soon…

Streetstyle Trend: Fancy Pants

The brighter, the better. The shinier, the chicer. And the funkier the prints, the bigger the chance some streetstyle photog took a picture. Fancy pants were a big hit in the streets of the four fashion capitals.
We spotted them with stripes, tartan, animal prints, the American flag, flowers, sequins and ethnic prints. Mostly combined with a simple uni-color top or shirt and some cool heels. And that’s really all you need for a showstopping streetstyle look.
Besides being noticed by the fashion paparazzi there’s another big advantage to those trousers; they’re ultra-comfortable. They’re loose, airy and some of them even feel like your finest pj’s.
The hottest labels already showed them in their catwalk shows and we’re pretty sure this trend is going to stay around for a while.
Streetstyle Trend: A Touch of Neon

It was one of the biggest streetstyle trends of this season: neoncolored fashion items. The bright and funky colors popped up at every fashion week. We saw fluorescent lime, eclectic green, bright orange and neon pink everywhere.
The daredevils wore neon in their actual clothing, others opted for bright accessories like bags (satchel bags, clutches) and shoes.
A smart choice, since a touch of neon is the easiest way to pimp your whole look and go from dull to daring.
Especially on a sunny day those neon shades make a great fashion statement.

In 2006 she decided to let everyone in on her ‘fashion bubble’, she started her own blog and has become one of the most popular fashion bloggers ever since. Susie Bubble doesn’t miss any fashion week and is a hard to miss streetstyle personality.
Her outfits are as bubbly as her name suggests. There’s always a nice pop of color and funky sunnies and cool bags make her stand out from the crowd.
Her cool bangs and her friendly smile make this blogger one of our favorite streetstyle ‘projects’.

An Ode To Anna..

She is, without a doubt, the most photographed person at every fashion week. Whether she’s doing a little dance, holding a dog painting, talking to Kanye, wearing Versace for H&M, taking a picture of us or just strutting the streets in another crazy outfit, the vibrant Anna dello Russo keeps on fascinating us (and the rest of the fashion industry).
She changes at least three times during a regular Fashion Week day (oh my, is she traveling heavy), and every single one of her outfits is spot on. She dresses head to toe in designer items and keeps all of her looks in her archives.
No look is ever over-accessorized with Anna and More is More is definitely her ‘thing’.
Anna is completely crazy and great fun. You just gotta love her.
We shot like a zillion pictures of her during the latest fashion weeks. We just can’t get enough of you Anna!
