Fashion Trend

The high contrast, black and white trend for this spring is easily my favorite. Vogue featured black and white checks seen on the runways at Balmain, Ralph Lauren and Rodarte. While Harper’s Bazaar showcased the sportier side of black and white on the runways at Narciso Rodriguez and Rag and Bone, among others.

I try to keep an eye on fashion trends, and one easy way I stay updated is knowing the new 2016 Pantone color of the year. For 2016, there are two colors: Rose Quartz and Serenity. The blush pink and the periwinkle blue are quite a departure from the 2015 Marsala color.

Have you watched HBO’s Vinyl yet? I’ve only watched it a couple times and it’s already taken me back to a 70s frame of mind. I’m sure you’ve noticed the fringe style so popular in the 70s is back in a big way, and for spring 2016, we are seeing 70s inspired sunglasses everywhere.

Plaid prints are a major spring fashion trend. Women’s Wear Daily talked about plaid clothes for women as part of the Resort 2017 collections. I’m loving the plaid spring fashion trend because it doesn’t feel emo or grunge this season. It feels a lot more elevated and modern.

Bright orange often reminds me of fall — pumpkins, hunter jackets, our president-elect. But seriously, I can’t quite get over the fact that bright orange is one of the hottest spring color trends for 2017. I noticed orange popping up everywhere lately.

Now that I live in Boston, I actually have to think about fall clothing. Living in Phoenix, I didn’t break sweaters until November at the earliest. But our first week in Boston, it was only in the 60s (40s in the AM!), so let’s just say I need to hurry up and get some new fall clothing.

Have you checked out all of the fall handbag trends yet? If not, you’re in luck. I did a bunch of research and found the best picks for 6 of the major trends this season.

One of the biggest fashion trends for 2018 is dressed-up track pants. I’m pretty excited about this trend because I rocked track pants nonstop back in college. The main difference is that I wore them like pjs, with baggy college sweatshirts and sneakers. The track pants look for 2018 is a lot more elevated an chic.

Do you remember Rainbow Bright? I do. I had a doll and I even had a Rainbow Bright costume one Halloween. Rainbow striped things have been my thing ever since then. In college, I even rocked a rainbow striped bed spread that was from deliA*s (do you remember that brand? I was obsessed in late HS and early college).
