Welcome to the new world of fashion, where the hottest trends of the season are both bold and stylish. If you’re looking to make a statement with your wardrobe, you’ve come to the right place! Let us take you on a journey to discover the must-have looks that will set you apart from the crowd.
I. Stepping into a Season of Style
Getting Ready
The days are getting shorter, the leaves are falling, and the temperature is dropping. This can only mean one thing – it’s almost time for the winter season! Each year brings its own unique style – a season to become inspired by the trends of its colour palette, fashion, and materials. With the shift in trends, the incredible change in style can be overwhelming.
Before diving in head first, take a look at your wardrobe. Assemble what you need and examine the pieces that need to be replaced. Keeping your favorite pieces from last year and refreshing them with a few trendy items can save you money and still make you look stylish.
Look For
Think of layers. Start with a base on the inside – perhaps a long-sleeved lightweight top and keep it trendy with a trendy pattern like leopard prints, or a muted colour you love. Adding on a thin cardigan or jumper may be your favorite look when the temperatures drop. You can also add some elegant accessories, like a trendy headband and a neck scarf.
- A Wool Coat for chilly days
- A Scarf to stay cozy
- Thick socks to keep warm
- Warm and fuzzy boots
A well-tailored coat is the best way to make a statement, while a thin blazer can add structure and edge. Black, navy, and grey are sure to keep the look timeless and versatile. Throw a patterned scarf and wool-mix hat into the mix to make the look more interesting.
Conclusion
Moving into a new season is always an exciting time. It’s a chance to be creative and express your personal style by incorporating tones and fabrics that you love. As you think about winter essentials to add, remember to keep it fashionable but practical – and have fun with it!
II. All Eyes On: The Hottest Trends
The Ultra-Violet Jewelry
Ultraviolet –the Pantone Color of the Year for 2018– has taken the jewelry world by storm. If you’re ready to add some serious sparkle to your jewelry collection, stay up to date on the ultra-violet combo pieces dominating Instagram feeds. Ultra-violet earrings have made an appearance, from dangling pieces to shorter statement styles in shades of both pastel and deep purple. Bold chokers are also popular, and some pieces even have eye-catching accents of gold, silver, and pink.
Statement Rings
Move aside, classic diamond rings – statement rings are the new “must have” for every jewelry box. Big and bold, statement rings combine the best of two worlds, featuring muted-colored gems and intricate patterns. Take your pick between large, monochrome jewels or mix-and-match multiple-colored stones for an eye-catching effect. Stack a few together for a daring look, or let your statement ring stand alone.
Pearls
Say what you will, but pearls are here to stay. This timeless classic just keeps on giving, with endless options of simple and intricate pearl pieces. From delicate studs to dramatic chokers, there’s a pearl piece out there to captivate anyone. And don’t just limit yourself to pearl earrings or necklaces – some of the season’s biggest trends come in the form of cuffs and rings, too.
The Delicate Chains
Dainty and delicate, chains are back in full swing for 2018. From thin gold chokers, to bohemian-style layered chains, you can keep it minimalist with a single strand, or go for the truly daring layered look. Some of the most popular trends include:
- Chains with charms
- Stone pendants
- Lightweight anchor chains
Whether you’re pairing your favorite pendant with a dainty chain, or investing in a deluxe piece with multiple layers, there’s no denying this trend’s staying power.
III. Making a Statement with Color
- Choosing the right colors can add visual interest to any space. It’s the quickest way to make a statement, changing the mood and atmosphere of any room depending on colors used.
- If your space feels a bit drab and boring, inject some color and texture to give it a completely new feel. A bright, vibrant space can be achieved with just a few pieces of furniture and accessories in the right colors.
Incorporating Color
Using color wisely in any space is essential. Different colors naturally correspond with different feelings – bright and cheerful colors will lift a dull space, while more neutral shades provide a calm and airy atmosphere. Experiment with different textures to create depth and contrast, bringing the colors together in the space.
Using Accents
Accents are a great way to add a little bit of color to any space. A few pieces of furniture or decorative accents in different colors can add texture and interest to a room without overwhelming it. Use accents to highlight certain features of a space or create visual interest.
Balancing Colors
When using color, there must be a balance. Too much color can make the room feel cluttered and cramped, while too little can create an empty atmosphere. Choose colors that work well together and create an eye-catching color palette, while also keeping in mind the purpose of the room and the mood you’re trying to achieve.
Creating a Statement
Using color is a great way to make a statement in any space. Whether you’re going for a bright and vibrant vibe or a subtler atmosphere, using color can transform a room into whatever look you’re aiming for. Experiment with different colors and textures to find a style that suits you and your space.
IV. Accessories: The Finer Details
- A well-dressed man is distinguished, not just by his clothing, but by the accessories he wears.
- From the quality leather cowboy belt he wears with his jeans, to the pocket square that accents his blazer, the finer details make all the difference.
The Watch:
A watch immediately speaks to the good taste of the wearer. A classic gold timepiece gives off a distinguished vibe, while a colorful, silicone-banded sports watch makes a statement and has a more casual look. No matter what style you choose, the best watches come with quartz movements and sapphire glass, giving you something that will last.
The Ties and Socks:
Two seemingly simple accessories which can really make or break an outfit. Cumbersome woven ties with contrasting collars need not be overly adventurous, but should be vibrant to add subtle color to the face. A colorful pair of socks or patterned stockings can inject life into an otherwise ordinary look.
The Shoes:
The true mark of sophistication lies in the shoes. There’s nothing quite like a pair of pristine black leather dress shoes. Cap toes are the most classic style, but you can also have fun by adding different textures, colors, and materials – like suede, patent leather, or exotic skins.
The Wallet and Card Holder:
A luxurious wallet expresses both your refinement and your individual style. Get something with all the necessary amenities and that speaks to your personal aesthetic. Whether leather, material, or rubber, find something that not only gets the job done, but looks great doing it. To keep you looking your best, opt for a luxury card holder to store your cards and other small items. Keep it neat and slim for an understated look.
V. Get Ready for the Latest Looks
It’s time to get bold and boastful and make a statement with the latest looks. No matter your style, you can transition into the new season fearlessly and find an outfit that speaks for you.
Never settle and make sure your style game can’t be beaten with these sizzling trends:
- Head-turning Hairdos: From dramatic-hued wigs to fun updos, keep your look fresh and full of energy.
- Grunge Gone Glam: Get ready to mix and match bold patterns and materials and create a grunge look with a touch of glitz and glam.
- Chic & Classy Chic: Put a modern spin on classic silhouettes and find a style that screams sophistication.
For an eye-catching outfit, pay attention to your accessories. Break away from the same old go-tos and experiment with statement earrings, fun shoe designs and bold prints.
There’s wonderful little things you can add to your outfit that give your look an unmistakable flair. Animal-print buckles or chains and cow-print material will make you stand out from the crowd in a fun, fashionable way.
Depending on whether you’re looking for informal, formal, edgy or classic vibes, turn to different textures for a complete look. Satin, fur and velvet will add a different level of interest to any outfit.
If you’re looking for a high-impact outfit for a night out, pair monotone pieces with striking pieces in bright colors. A sparkling dress, chunky heeled boots and an eye-catching handbag will get people noticing your best look yet.
No matter the fashion trend, make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your outfit. Wear fashion with your own flair and strut your stuff with pride.
The upcoming season brings with it a great opportunity to show off your own unique style through the hottest fashion trends of the season. Follow the latest looks and embrace your creativity – it’s the perfect time to express yourself with fashion!
