Curvy trend report autumn/winter 2016
The autumn/winter season has begun, and already you're standing in front of the wardrobe at a loss, not wanting 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 get your winter wardrobe back on a fashionable track in no time with just two or three new pieces!
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 an eye-catcher. You just need to keep the following in mind:
With velvet, less is simply more! That means, please no all-velvet outfits... better to choose a statement piece, whether 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 unfortunately mostly look like curtains from the theater's prop room.
Smooth, flowing velvet flatters and conceals small bulges... on the other hand, stay away from crushed velvet & co, these add volume and emphasize every little irregularity.
And if velvet is still a bit too much overall, how about starting with an accessory first?
Point
Right away... we simply think this trend is 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, draws attention to the featured body part and yet conceals it at the same time.
Simply sexy! No wonder it's 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 everyday-friendly, whether on trendy pleated skirts or as glitter knitwear... "Shine bright" is the new motto.
Combine the highlight piece with chunky knit sweaters and boots for an elegant look that 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 characters, this trend belongs to you!
Check
Forget about being petty! This season is all about big checks... actually, they're less checks and more like grids, 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 a check is still a check, this season they just look different... more graphic, more abstract, cooler... simply trendier.
We're dancing in squares, we're dancing in rectangles!
And the trend goes on... <3
