Curvy Trend Report Fall/Winter 2016
The autumn/winter season has begun, and you find yourself standing in front of the wardrobe, unsure and not in the mood for the old wool sweaters and the same old black winter coat...
That's why we've put together a little trend guide for you with the hottest trends for the season, with which you can refresh your winter wardrobe in no time with just two or three new pieces and get back on a fashionable track!
Velvet
This material divides opinions, but we'll say it right away... we love velvet! It's simply a matter of the right styling, and then velvet is modern, elegant, and simply eye-catching. You just need to keep the following in mind:
With velvet, less is more! That means, please no all-velvet outfits... it's better to choose a statement piece, whether a dress, jacket, or accessory, and combine it with other materials. After all, no one wants to end up looking like a sofa in the Queen's palace ;-)
It doesn't always have to be black. Velvet can also be chosen in colors, but then muted tones like pine green, olive, burgundy, or dark blue... these look elegant. Bright colors in velvet usually look like theater curtains.
Smooth, flowing velvet flatters and hides small bulges... on the other hand, stay away from crushed velvet & co, as these add volume and emphasize every little irregularity.
And if velvet still feels a bit too much overall, how about starting with an accessory first?
Lace
Right away... we think this trend is simply great!
And the nice thing is, basically the same rules apply as for velvet...
Lace details in the right places turn the simplest piece into an exciting eye-catcher and look wonderfully feminine and elegant!
Lace plays with the effect of showing and hiding, directing the gaze to the featured body part while simultaneously concealing it.
Simply sexy! No wonder it is so often used for lingerie...
Metallic
The festive season has begun! Time for shine & glory! The great thing this winter is that you don't have to wait for Christmas to wear the metallic trend... the effect has become suitable for everyday wear, whether on trendy pleated skirts or as glitter knitwear... "Shine bright" is the new motto.
If you combine the shiny piece with chunky knit sweaters and boots, it becomes an elegant look that also works in the office during the day. And after work, add heels and lipstick and head to the after-work party!
So get excited, party girls and flamboyant birds, this trend belongs to you!
Checkered
Not at all petty! This season is all about big checks... actually, they are less checks and more grid patterns, but how would that sound as a trend?! Of course, it wouldn't... and because yesterday's trend can't be tomorrow's trend, but checkered is checkered, this season they just look different... more graphic, abstract, cooler... simply trendier.
We dance in squares, we dance in rectangles!
And the trend goes on... <3
