Spring is finally here and after a crazy, yet rather dull year, 2018’s spring / summer trends are hitting back with bold and rather beautiful statements.
These trends will make you excited to revamp your wardrobe and welcome in the warmer weather.
Pastels
It appears that this season, ice cream is a major trendsetter with pastel hues taking this season’s limelight. This spring / summer you can expect your wardrobe to be transformed into a vintage sweet shop with shade inspiration from Palma Violets, Love Hearts and Strawberry Bonbons.
Sequins
This season, sequin lovers are no longer restricted to displaying their love for all things sparkle on the dance floor, as the trend makes its way to the more casual corners of the world. Sequins can be seen adding excitement to even the most basic of wardrobe essentials and you can now throw on a sequin sweater for your trip to the local supermarket.
Sheer
One way to beat the summer temperatures is to keep your fabrics as light and airy as possible. This trend screams elegance despite its risqué nature. It may leave little to the imagination and feel like you’re adding complexity to your day to day, but with the right pair of full coverage knickers and a dainty bralette this trend is easy to pull off.
Stripes
This is probably the most wearable trend for anyone and everything. Stripes have always been very popular, but for spring / summer 2018 they have been taken to a whole new level; from basic pinstripe to bold rainbows, there is something on offer for everyone. Stripes are a very versatile pattern. Be it a dressy night out or a casual coffee, stripes will be your best friend.
Denim
Denim has always been a wardrobe essential, but in recent years it’s been more urban and grunge inspired. With spring / summer 2018, the early 2000s have given inspiration and tailored denim is on its way back. Say goodbye to your stonewash as dark denim is going to become your new favourite.
Plastic
Calvin Klein is to blame for this trend, after debuting the looks in autumn and setting the bar for spring / summer for other designers. This trend can be displayed in every way possible from plastic shoes, to plastic coats and bags. This trend has a futuristic vibe, but the transparent material will be tricky to pull off as the temperatures begin to rise.
Trench Coat
This trend is the perfect crossover for any trends that have already been mentioned. The trench coat can be found in a range of forms; be it in a pastel pink, a transparent plastic or denim, there is something for anyone with any style goal. The trench coat is the perfect addition to your spring / summer 2018 wardrobe.
