A new fashion season is above us, bringing it to a huge range of styles and trends. The colour, shape and material will bring you experimentation. Are you feeling inspired? Below are some expert tips on runningway highlighting and how to update your wardrobe this spring and summer.
What are the trends in women’s fashion this season?
Diversity will be the center this season. Boho Chic has made a major comeback and has been seen at many runway shows. “The patterns of frills, flounces and florals define this romantic look. Pure fabrics, such as cream and lilac, and pastel shades emphasize a playful aesthetic,” explained Style consultant Dunja Hess. Masu.
In addition to this dreamy style, beautiful lines are also very emerging. Carl Thilsen of the German Fashion Institute (DMI) talks about “a new and timeless thing” featuring minimalist designs, soft drapes and subtle color palettes. He says, “This minimalism differs from previous iterations in that it appears soft, warm and more human.”
What really striking this spring/summer is the extreme silhouette, ranging from straight cuts to huge details like wide shoulders and wide collars. “There’s plenty of room to test the shape,” Hess says. The interaction of wide and narrow elements within the silhouette creates stimulating visual effects and provides opportunities to play with the shape of the body.
Which colors and patterns are particularly popular this season?
This season’s colour palette is just as diverse as the style itself. Delicate pastels such as mint, light blue, lilac and pink bring a fresh atmosphere to fashion. “These colors perfectly complement the romanticism of the free ho bullet’s appearance,” says Jasmine Link, a consultant in color and style. In addition to these soft colors, bold shades such as tomato red and burgundy continue to be ubiquitous. According to Hess, anyone looking to add exciting colour accents in the summer can do particularly well in pink, green and orange. It stands out especially well along with highlights of minimalist looks.
The pattern also reveals tensions between tradition and reinterpretation. From leopards to brown and white cow spots, alongside animal prints, polka dots and pinstripes have experienced revivals. “Pinstripes are now being worn more and more by women,” says Thilsen.
Which materials and fabrics are used in women’s fashion this spring/summer?
Women’s fashion focuses on flowing lightweight fabrics that combine movement and elegance. Materials such as Viscose, Modal and Satin offer airy, lightweight comfort. Thin fabrics are also an important theme. “Thin fabrics are often layered on each other to create subtle effects, particularly reinforcing pastel colors,” explains Carl Thilsen. And what about denim? It remains a perennial favorite in all its variations. Suede is currently prominent in handbags, complementing the trend of free ho bullets.
Which cuts and silhouettes are trending in dresses and skirts?
Dresses and skirts this season are primarily flowing and are irritating. While maxi skirts in the free-ho style still exist, you can also see a huge silhouette with wide puff sleeves and wide collars. According to style consultant Hess, there is a tendency to combine wider pieces with narrower ones to play an important role in skirts, trousers and tops.
What trends do you see in pants and tops?
Palazzo pants, Marlene trousers and wide-leg jeans were seen on all runways. Not only are these cuts comfortable, they also look particularly elegant due to the flowing material. According to Jasmin Link, many designers have incorporated original details such as fringes and asymmetrical shapes to make the pants more versatile.
In the case of tops, the appearance is often classically “feminine.” The thin fabric, refined drapes and lace give the look light and elegance. “The women’s blouse with a flower print complements the chic style of Free Ho,” says Danja Hess.
What are the absolute must-have shoes and accessories?
According to Claudia Schulz of the German Shoe Institute, footwear trends include Mary Janes, retro suede sneakers, ballerinas decorated with studs or rhinestones. Another highlight is delicate sandals with jewelry details, perfect complement to your airy summer outfit.
According to Dunja Hess, the colors and patterns of shoes and accessories match the common color trends of the season. Animal prints continue to be prominent, especially in bold accents used as highlights in bags and shoes, as well as pastel shades and accessories.
Charms, or eye-catching handbag pendants, are particularly popular this season. For example, little bears can add playful accents, Schultz says. Bows, scarves in all variations, and pearls are also trendy accessories.
