TREND REPORT SS13

THE MONOCHROME MADNESS

-its all black and white baby.

WHAT IS BLACK, WHITE AND SET TO BE HUGE THIS SEASON? .. MONOCHROME. I FOR ONE ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE MONOCHROME MADNESS THAT HAS HIT THE CATWALKS! IT IS SOPHISTICATED YET EFFORTLESS, TAKING INFLUENCE FROM THE 60S MOD TRENDS. SO MUCH VARIETY MEANS FOR ONE THING.. EVERYONE CAN INJECT THIS TREND INTO THEIR WARDROBE. 

FEELING PLAYFUL? TAKE LIKE MARC JACOBS AND OPT FOR GRAPHICAL PRINTS. IF, LIKE MANY, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PENNIES TO SPLURGE ON MARC JACOBS, DO NOT FEAR. THE HIGH STREET HAS SOME STEALS TO BE FOUND FOR EXAMPLE LIKE 2. TOPSHOP DRESS IS JUST AS EYE CATCHING AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE.

WANTING TO WORK A MORE SIMPLISTIC LOOK? THEN LET THE SHARP CONTRAST DO ALL THE WORK. TRY A CLASSIC CUT BLOUSE WITH COLOUR BLOCKING FEATURES (I.E. COLLARS, CUFFS, SLEEVES) OR PERHAPS A STRAIGHT TO THE POINT STRIPED DRESS?

KEY PIECES TO PURCHASE:

-TAILORED CROPPED JACKETS

-A-LIVE SKIRTS

-SHIFT DRESSES

-JERSEY SEPARATES

-TAILORED OUTERWEAR

STYLE NOTE:

OPTING FOR VERTICAL STRIPED GARMENTS AS THEY ARE MOST FLATTERING, SLIM LINING YOUR FIGURE! HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A MORE BOYISH SHAPE OR PEAR ON TOP THEY TRY A HORIZONTAL STRIPE TO WIDEN YOUR BODY, CREATING A MORE HOURGLASS SHAPE.

WANTING TO FLATTER THOSE THIGHS? 

TAKE FOR A STRIPED TROUSER OR LEGGING (THE TOPSHOP LEGGING '!' MARK IN THE TITLE) ARE HIGHLY SLIMMING CREATING A THINNING EFFECT TO THE LEG. (DEFINITE PURCHASE FOR ME!)

HOW WILL I ROCK MINE?

WITH A CUTE BOWLER HAT AND SOME KILLER CHUNKY BOOTED HEALS.

Muchos Smiles,
