It’ll be a fun spring!

Fashion Trends Spring 2019

Volumes

As colors are what the eyes register first when seeing an outfit, it’s logical that colors are an essential part of fashion. How colors can be matched is something I’ve talked a lot about too, as in my series of awkward color combinations. Next season, we should work with volume according to the designers. The trend is about the oversized blazers, shoulders, voluminous sleeves, skirts and airy pieces. Both covering the 1980s office style we’ve been seeing for some seasons now and also include the loose and flowy clothes of the 1970s. The trend of statement sleeves will continue as well  and was often paired with flared pants on the runway. Working with different volumes in one outfit can be tricky, but I’ll make sure to do do some posts on the topic before spring is here. Marc Jacobs, Christian Siriano, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti are some designers that played with volume.

Blazers

The blazers are the it-jacket next season too! The fitted clothing piece has been a staple for decades, but increased in popularity when the 1980s fashion made a comeback some seasons ago. The blazer that’s been trending and still will be in trend is the one that’s slightly more oversized and done with padded shoulders. The blazers have often been done in colors of grey, camel and black with the check pattern being the most trendy print. Balmain, Acne Studios and Isabel Marant are three designers that showed the office piece!

Artsy Fashion

This might be the trend I’m the most excited about next year. Artsy fashion is perhaps the most impractical and unrelatable part of fashion, but one that’s the most challenging, innovative and explorative too. It’s anything but basic. Next year all layers of the artsy fashion is explored with prints being mixed, colors being statement, silhouettes being exaggerated and styles being overall ridiculous. It’s difficult to summarize this to more specific trends than that, as ‘artsy fashion’ is more of a general expression of fashion that’s a statement. With that said though, it’s pretty easy for you to try the trend yourself as there are no laws. It should be “more is more”, look a bit all over the place and often embrace that ugly fashion look I’ve talked about earlier this fall. Welcome to the playground of fashion! Prada, Valentino, Versace, Moschino, Delpozo, Marc Jacobs and Richard Quinn all demonstrated what fashion can be about.

Crazy Colors

The fashion world keeps on embracing colors and next season is an explosion of statement-making colors. Pink, yellow, orange and red are all colors that were shown separately during fashion week. A lot of neon colors was spotted as well, done in the sporty and energetic context with minimalistic and functional clothes. A lot of the colors were done monochromatic, which been trendy for a few seasons, and other colors were mixed and matched together. The very idea though is to embrace a colorful fashion, where the popping shades are in focus. Christian Siriano, Prabal Gurung, Anna Sui, Giambattista Valli, Ulla Johnson and Brandon Maxwell are some designers that went statement!

  1. It seems that the next season is going to be a delight, specially for volumes and cool-unexpected textures and prints! When it comes to blazers I’m always in, lately I feel like I want all the blazers of the world haha

  3. I definitely look forward to your article on styling pieces with different volumes. It can definitely be hard to pull off and if there isn’t a bit of a tailored balance somewhere, it can easily look like a hot mess, haha! I know you’ll share some awesome tips that I’d want to implement, so I can’t wait. That said, I love the fact that oversized pieces and all the exaggerated details are still going strong. I’ve been obsessed with balloon sleeves for some time now, so I’m glad they’re not going anywhere. As I’m getting older, I’ve noticed that I’m more drawn to pieces that are basic in theory, but with details that elevate them and make them so much more eye catching! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great start to your week so far!

    1. But aren’t those the best pieces though? Fun simple basics but with interesting statement details. I think H&M is great at this through COS and & Other Stories. So many fun basic clothes done a bit differently. Thank you for all the love as always Jalisa! Xx

  8. Ohh, I love padded shoulders. It’s something I love every year regardless of trends. lol I really prefer a bold shoulder since it’s so figure flattering for me. The billowy pieces are all so beautiful. I love the way they move when you move. 🙂 Such a great round up! Enjoy your week Mia!
