Three fashion finds for the New Year
(03) January 2012 by: Urban sista
Trends this summer favour the fashionista with confidence and edge. This season’s look is all about body hugging lines and bold colours, for a style that says ‘look at me’.
Maxi skirts are on their way out and they're making way for miniskirts in a pencil style that emphasises long legs and curves. High, fitted waistlines remain hot this season, to emphasise every line and curve. Summer is the best time for baring skin, and the on-trend fashion scene this season is all for it. This classic black mini-skirt with wave pattern detail will give you a look that's classic but just a little playful, and can be worn at work or for a night out.
Every ensemble needs to have some neutral pieces, and you can be playful with neutrals this summer when putting together an outfit. Blocks of solid colour are a great way to emphasise each piece and basic pieces are great as a base for layering. This white halter top is a great basic piece with just a little edge. The halter neckline adds shape to your outfit and white is the perfect shade for showing off your well-developed tan.
The blazer is one of the most versatile and flattering layer items to emerge in recent years, and with boyfriend blazers getting an infusion of colour and even prints, this look is no longer classic or conservative. This red blazer can be worn with jeans for a casual evening look, or with a skirt and blouse for a touch of professional cool.
Merchandise is available in stores between the 20th of January and the 28th of February, subject to availability.
