The top 7 must-have trends from Paris fashion week that you don’t have to wait until spring to wear
Fashion peeps never play by the rules. Just because the calendar says fall doesn’t mean you can’t get a jumpstart on your spring wardrobe. Here’s your shopping short list. Game on!
1. Fringe, fringe, and more fringe. Barbara Bui showed shaggy cropped jackets with row upon row of the swingy stuff.
2. Midnight blue. No, it’s not navy, people. It’s midnight blue and it looks fabulous paired with black à Nina Ricci.
3. Lace effect cutouts. Whether you choose lace or leather (like Balmain’s tough n’ tender take on the mini) this romantic accent has leapt out of the costume history books and onto spring’s hottest finds.
4. Mixing brights and prints. Carven painted a pretty chic picture for spring with its candy coloured explosion of graphic lines, florals and more.
5. An impeccably tailored jacket. Dries did magenta, Rochas opted for sky blue with a subtle sheen and Carven went for the wow-factor in white. However you choose to wear yours, it will be a great investment for seasons to come.
6. Something sheer. Ok, so you’re not going to prance around town wearing a see-through skirt (although you really ought to consider it based on the extreme gorgeousness of Nina Ricci’s ethereal ballet skirts) but you can work this trend into your wardrobe without getting arrested. Look for peek-a-boo panels on tops and dresses that still leave lots to the imagination!
7. Bright trousers. Take your cues from Balenciaga who showed a fiery pair of high-waisted trousers fit for any modern day fashion goddess.
