Women's fashion and fashion trends 2016-2017

In the cold fall-winter 2016-2017 season, let's pay attention to fashion trends that have taken pride of place in the collections of many designers. Among them are those that have already shown themselves more than once in past seasons, but they should be reminded of, since some of these trends have been interpreted by designers and presented in a new guise, so this cannot be kept silent.

In the past season, seemingly unisex style and sheer misery of ripped skirts took the most advanced positions. But any fashion is temporary. And although these fashion trends are not going to retreat, because there is still more than one year ahead when the economic crisis will create financial problems for many of us, we are pleased to note that femininity has appeared in outfits.

Many designers remained true to themselves, that is, grace and elegance, while others stopped and decided not to tear off part of the skirt, or rethink how to make it more attractive.

Fashion fall-winter 2016-2017 - fashion lines

Asymmetry and open shoulders

Asymmetry continues to open shoulders, break cut lines, use cuts not only at the seams, but also on any part of the garment. The most graceful and feminine are the slits in the leg area, which focus the eyes on their beauty. Many designers open seductive women's shoulders, and in all garments, not excluding coats, but most of them try to bare one shoulder.

Often there are models with the absence of one sleeve. Exposed shoulders, apparently, fell in love with the designers, and they do not want to part with this cutting technique even in autumn - in winter. In Paris, they were carried away by nudity so much that the line of the shoulders went far down, casually unbuttoned things appeared, for example, they are dictated by Fenty x Puma, Balenciaga and other brands.

Volumetric models

The focus is on volumetric models. Various textures and styles emphasize the shoulders and even the hips, which almost every woman tries to disguise. But the designers suggest not to hide anything, even if it is not so beautiful. Of course, there are brave people among us who will not want to use an elegant disguise, but, on the contrary, will emphasize their indifference to what others think of them.

And so, voluminous stretched sweaters, extended shoulders and hips are waiting for you ...

Long sleeves and fashion 2016-2017

Long sleeves. And why not, because it was already in national costumes? For example,? Khaben or opashen in Russian folk costume of the 15th - 16th centuries. Long sleeves are becoming an important detail, they are added to the exaggerated volumes of sweaters, sweatshirts and even dresses. Perhaps it will please someone, because in winter you need warmth and comfort.

Fashion trousers - slightly cropped

Trousers - slightly cropped and flared from the hip, or trousers-skirts, in the fall-winter season 2016-2017 - a must-have thing in the wardrobe. Warm and comfortable enough, they make up suits or just sets with sweaters and sweatshirts. All this has already happened more than once, however, in the new season, many designers offer the most interesting images that are easy to repeat.

The military style does not age, designers release models pulled into uniforms every season. Check out the trendy military uniform with its feminine silhouettes and creative innovation. From the color of khaki and noble black or dark blue, you can see extremely feminine things - fitted overcoats, duffle coats, sea jackets, one cannot fail to notice the designers' hobby for hussar uniforms.

Tommy Hilfiger focuses its collection entirely on the navy, London Fashion Week - on military overcoats and pea coats. To put it simply, the sea pea coat took the catwalks of London to board.Hence the decorative elements: cords, braids, sailor ribbons and braid, rows of shiny buttons and other military elements.

The military style in 2016-2017 looks unusually feminine. Elegant skirts decorated with cords, blouses with sleeves-lanterns, bows and even a sheepskin coat in the style of a sea pea jacket fit into the military style. And the hussar dolomans in the Dolce & Gabbana collection get along well with lace.

But the fashionable collection Dsquared2 looks unusually picturesque, it has a lot of military elements, among which there are those similar to Russian anarchism during 1918-1920, in which freedom is expressed in everything. But, of course, the images are warlike.

Oriental themes in fashion

The rapid development of China and India, the richest culture of the countries of Asia and the Middle East inspire designers in the fall-winter 2016-2017 season, and we cannot but admire the oriental theme, which has been exciting designers for several seasons in a row, and along with them, us. A special feature in the new season is surreal prints - sweeping and slightly blurred lines and graphic elements that create fantastic images.

Basic materials - wool, leather, fur, chiffon, lame, velvet, velor, suede, tweed, a combination of woolen knitwear with transparent chiffon. As for glitter, designers have presented a lot of glittery looks in the new season. Watch and admire how silver and gold shimmer in different shades, and fabrics embroidered with sequins and crystals reflect light to the maximum and create shine in all three coordinates.

Shine is also created by patent leather, which the designers of Paris are talking about with enthusiasm. We should not forget about the old warm tweed, Karl Lagerfeld took care of this. In the Chanel collection, you will see stunning suits.

As you know, denim, which once entered our life, will never go away, you can simply experiment with it, creating different images, using original decorative elements and materials of different textures.

Velvet and lame. They should be discussed separately. These fabrics regularly visit the catwalk. And in 2016-2017, especially often. In velvet in autumn and winter, it is not at all necessary to go to a gala reception, to a restaurant or a theater. Royal fabric is rapidly taking over the everyday wardrobe.

Velvet used in different ensembles and with all kinds of decorative elements. This has never happened before. And in the new season, experiments are just beginning, your business is to continue them in your wardrobe.

Different texture of materials

Different textures have been used in each season for a long time. But in the new season, this technique brings originality in combination with monochrome. It turns out that the more different textures in one monochrome set, the better.

Transparency no one cancels, on the contrary, even in winter time she tries to cross the boundaries of what is permissible. However, modesty in a woman is precisely that beauty that has clearly been forgotten. But mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ may show some of the trendy designs suggested by famous designers.

Here shades of brown claim the palm, fuchsia, beige shades, blue and all shades of autumn. Black does not enter the fight for the championship, because this color, especially in the autumn-winter season, is so confident in its superiority.

Fashionable outfits from the Ralph Lauren collection are painted in the colors of army uniforms, but everything here resembles the hot land of the Wild West.

Monochrome looks in 2016-2017, along with bright looks, look advantageous, for example, models from the collections of Antonio Berardi or Anthony Vaccarello.

Fashionable prints in the fall-winter 2016-2017 collections

Even if you “passed” geometry at school without delving into the beauty of this science, today designers unanimously repeat its theorems and axioms.True, there is no need to prove them, just learn to wear outfits with geometric prints of all the peoples of the world.

Ethnic geometry is found in many collections. For example, African geometry by Stella Jean, oriental prints in the collections of Gucci, Leonard, Laura Biagiotti.

Flowers always remain the most coveted print for women of all ages and any shape. We are already accustomed to all the inscriptions and slogans, not only on clothes ... And it would seem that we have already read, but reading in the new season can be continued.

And yet, all the prints had to make room and make room for the cage.

Cell - a print that always deserves attention. Large or small - the choice depends on your shape and preferences. The cage does not leave the catwalk, it just sometimes fades into the shadows, leaving the right to other prints. In the fashion of 2016-2017, the cell declares its existence louder than the strip.

Mixing prints

In the fall-winter 2016-2017 fashion collections, many designers tend to the trend of combining different patterns in one look. While the fabric intertwines elegant flowers with a check or stripe, there is a mixture of prints that take place on different garments. Everything seems incompatible and completely opposite to each other, and not all designers succeed in this technique. But this does not mean that you will not succeed, you need to experiment.

It seems that all decorative elements have been used for a long time. But here, as in a mixture of prints, chaos reigns, in which original and sometimes fantastic ideas have been embodied. Perhaps some of them will not cause admiration, but nevertheless, you should look, compare and "try on" yourself.

Amusing applications. In fact, cartoons have been on the podium for a long time, but more often they were seen on children's and youth clothing. In the fall-winter 2016-2017 season, designers offer to use adult ladies as well. Dolce & Gabbana, who have mice and cats, teapots and bowls, are especially zealous in this. On sports sweaters Gucci - cartoon panthers, Stella Jean, next to the geometry, settled the soldiers, which, in general, did not take root badly.

Mentishket. Let's return again to the Dolce & Gabbana collection, in which a mentichket with two rows of buttons flashes on many jackets. Mentishket - a catchy detail, and is used by designers in different versions, hinting at the military style (Hungarian or hussar dolomans). True, sometimes this element does not carry its functional features, but only performs a decorative role.

Tassels, cords, fringes. Unusually beautiful decorative elements that are in some way associated with the military style.

Bows

Bows decorate not only fashionable romantic blouses. In 2016-2017, a bow can be tied or pinned to any clothing and in any image.

Note that no one cancels rhinestones, sequins and embroidery, they remain in our wardrobe.

Abundance of frills

Fashion from past and before last seasons. Ruffles, flounces and ruffles are sometimes remembered, and sometimes they come seriously and for a long time, especially since ruffles help enhance the effect of layering. And dresses with ruffles from the neckline to the very hem will allow you to experiment with different materials. Fendi designers allow ruffles to take place on a dress, boots, and bags.

Fendi, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini

Boas, long gloves and a boater hat, abundant necklaces with pearls and over-the-knee stockings, colored tights and knee-highs, bags decorated with flounces and chains, patch pockets and colored fur. All these items will create a very effective look in any style.

Lanvin, Chanel

In addition, remember that in 2016-2017, voluminous down jackets, denim and patent leather are relevant. Dress-shirts and linen style remain in fashion. Many fashion brands show luxurious coats and sheepskin coats made from natural fur, where most of the models have midi lengths or cropped versions - from the waist to the hips.

Fur coats can be bright - colored, or one-color with a long pile, sheepskin coats.Among the many models, there are fur coats with sleeves and without sleeves.

In conclusion, we will outline the most important fashion trends for autumn-winter 2016-2017 - femininity, in which the silhouette emphasizes all the advantages of the figure, military style, glitter, luxury and poverty .... Want to stay feminine, focus on the style of Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn…
