2013 – 2014 Spring and Summer Trends Australia

Here are some of the new trends I’m most looking forward to this spring/summer and ideas on how to wear them:


METALLICS

Metallics

I absolutely love metallic accessories. They can add so much glamour to an outfit and are effortlessly chic and modern in their simplicity.  My favourite finishes are silver and pastel colour. I’m not so sure about a full on metallic skirt or jacket for me but a clutch, shoe or an embellishment is something I’m really looking forward bringing into my wardrobe more.

I see myself wearing: 
  • A pink lace skirt with an orange top, a silver belt and silver necklace.
  • A simple black dress with a cropped red blazer and metallic pastel pink clutch.

MONOCHROME
Monochrome

I’m a big fan of black and white. It’s been so exciting for me to see the start of the monochrome trend coming into the shops. Stripes, patterns and blockings are all prominent.
I see myself wearing:
  • A black and white patterned skirt with a black t-shirt and some cute neon pink earrings.
  • A black and white striped dress with a wide black belt and electric purple eyeliner.

CALF-LENGTH SKIRTS

Calf-Length Skirts

I’m super excited about this trend. I absolutely adore longer skirts. I think they the absolute prettiest things to wear.  It’s been quite a struggle to find (nice) longer skirts the last few seasons so I definitely plan on making the most of these being around!
I see myself wearing:

  • Heaps of different and wonderful skirts all season!

DIGITAL PRINTS
Digital Prints
I love bold, graphic prints so I’m hoping to find a couple of great unique pieces within this trend… hopefully ones with lots of black and bright colour in them!
I see myself wearing:
  • A fun geometric print skirt with a black top, black ballet flats and silver jewellery.
  • A large photographic floral print pendant necklace with a neon yellow tee and dark capri jeans.

WHITE ON WHITE
White on White

I’m a big fan of the minimal look. I love white too. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to go all white out just yet but pure white is definitely my favourite neutral over spring/summer.

I see myself wearing: 
  • A white summer dress with white sandals, a white bag and an orange cardigan.
  • A white tee with a white necklace and an icy blue skirt.
