Fashion trends 2018 are a continuation of the already known ones, but in an original interpretation. By analyzing the popularity of emerging trends, mystylex.techinfus.com/en/ came to the conclusion that most designers preferred the following directions: loose fit, oversized style, negligence, and with it the incompleteness of products, asymmetry, linen style and at the same time minimalism ...

But let's look at everything in order. What are the fashion trends of 2018?

Main trends spring-summer-2018 - style and silhouette

What are the main silhouettes in modern fashion?

Loose fit is an important fashion trend in 2018

At the show of spring-summer collections, a silhouette in a free cut was among the leading ones. Designers suggest dressing in oversized dresses and sundresses. This is not to say that this cut appeared from a wardrobe that has not been looked into for a long time. No. Loose-fitting clothes in different interpretations have appeared before.

The widespread distribution of such clothing was facilitated by "freedom" in the 60s of the last century, which was widely advertised in the youth movement. The popularity of loose dresses has increased even more recently. Indeed, in modern fashion, one of the important criteria is comfort. A free-cut dress is suitable for women of any age and for different life situations.

Oversize spring-summer 2018

Oversize Style - to some extent, this is also a loose fit. But in this case, broad shoulders, an elongated sleeve, voluminous coats, trench coats and jackets are emphasized. Oversize implies such freedom in a cut, which looks on the owner as if it is great for him. This style is characterized by a blurred silhouette and lack of lines in the cut. Men's shirts in women's wardrobe take on a midi length and become dresses.

Lingerie style

Lingerie style slowly won a place on the catwalk, and finally, the time came when in each collection there was a place for a number of models in this style. However, the choice of your model should be taken with the utmost rigor, because you do not want to look on the street as if you just woke up and got out of bed.

Asymmetry in women's clothing

Asymmetry can be different, that's why it turned out to be so tenacious on the podium. You can see not only dresses with one strap, but also just continuous chaos, which can not be called in any way as “designers mock at stupid women of fashion”.

In the coming season, risk is possible for the most daring fashionistas, especially if they agree with the most desperate designers who have brought the asymmetrical cut to a disgrace. We will not dwell on such models in order to comprehend the insane inner world of artists. In any case, asymmetry will be one of the most important trends in the new season.

Style Minimalism 2018

Elegant minimalism is not so common. But minimalism, which looks boring and even too miserable, fills many collections. And which one is better, you decide.

Wide puffy sleeve

Truth be told, there are a ton of sleeve styles in the new season, and each of them can turn your outfit into a work of art. The style of the sleeves can affect your image, and, both to emphasize your advantages, and to spoil, it can hide flaws or, conversely, point out them. Therefore, his choice must be taken seriously. Puffy sleeves are still leading the way for the 2018 spring / summer season.

Unusual sleeves in women's clothing

Sleeves tied at the waist, neck or hips have long been known - mostly echoes of the grunge style of the 1990s, when sweaters or shirts were tied this way. Now the sleeves can be taken from nowhere - a sweater will not always be needed for this, the main thing is to tie them up and show that they are.

In previous seasons, many designers began to separate the sleeves from the shoulders by making cutouts. But gradually the sleeves began to separate from the shoulder lower and lower, while no one was going to sew them to the shoulder line. Now they have turned into falling sleeves. Thus, in the spring-summer season of 2018, some designers decided to simply tie the sleeves around the neck, chest or waist, while others did not consider it necessary to sew them on, let them fall down. Choose which one you like the most.

Large patch pockets

Clothing pockets are nothing new. They are especially needed on outerwear. Here they perform not only a decorative function, but also a practical one. In the new season, the main thing is not whether there are pockets or not, but what are they? Pockets for the spring-summer season, designers offer patch, large sizes. And one more, no less important aspect - their location not only in a place where it is convenient to use them, but anywhere, if only there was something new and unusual.

Ruffles and ruffles

To give your clothes a unique charm, it is enough to decorate them with ruffles or flounces. Therefore, designers use these decorative elements quite often. In the new season, in addition to the neckline assembly, original lace assemblies appeared, forming a beautiful drapery.

Ruffles can fill the entire skirt, like in the J Mendel collection, or individual elements of an outfit, and, in any direction, like Badgley Mischka. In the new season, you can find such models in many collections. If the ruffles and ruffles are delicate handicrafts, then your outfit promises to be unique.

Pleating 2018

Pleating creates a loose, flowing silhouette. And since a free cut is the most popular in the new season, pleating is necessary.

Drapery spring-summer

The drapery has never disappeared from the collections, but in the summer season it is used in all types of clothing, and looking at individual models, you notice that the draperies remind us of various styles. In some silhouettes, a trace of the heyday of bustles is visible.

True, you will not see those bustles in the new models, but there are hints of them. There are also draperies that resemble the fashion of the late 30s and early 40s of the last century. From whatever era the draperies are taken, many models are simply stunningly beautiful….

Long fringe

Fringe is bohemian or country style, but must be long or very long. Better yet, create a dress entirely out of fringe. Fringes in the spring and summer of 2018 are indispensable. Where is it located? Simply put, she finds a place for herself everywhere - maybe, like in Calvin Klein, - the whole outfit consists of fringe, or maybe just - on the hem of a dress or skirt, like in Jacquemus.

Fringe can become a full-length skirt or dress. Check out the collections of Calvin Klein, Nina Ricci, Paco Rabanne or Balmain and you will see for yourself.

Fashion Trends 2018 - Feathers

If there is fringe, then there is a place for feathers. Basically, these are smart kits, although the designers assure us - wear it everywhere - both on everyday outfits and on holiday ones. But let's stay reasonable fashionistas, and in order not to look like a bird with drooping wings and a backpack behind our back, we will leave feathers to decorate festive outfits.

Even in ancient civilizations, people adorned themselves with colorful feathers solely for the sake of beauty or to denote status and power. Therefore, we will use the wisdom of our ancestors and decorate elegant dresses or costumes with feathers.

Shawl in the warm season 2018

The scarf has been and remains the most popular accessory at all times.In the Temperley London collection, the headscarf is used as a turban, while in the Christian Wijnants and Dries Van Noten collections, headscarves adorn dresses and can be part of the dress. With the help of scarves, you can create a beautiful combination with other materials of the outfit, and thus reveal your individuality. Therefore, a dress entirely made of shawls or a partial combination speaks of your style and taste.

Buttons

Buttons in the new season decided to remind themselves seriously. When was it for the clothes to be buttonless? Probably, this is only when the designers replaced them with other fasteners, such as zippers, laces, etc. But in the new season buttons, in addition to their practical function, also perform a decorative one. And it turned out not bad at all.


Let's just say about those materials that on the catwalk made delight, surprise, or simply too often declared their presence in the new season. Since the season is spring-summer, the presence of light and thin tissues is mandatory. Silk, chiffon, satin, cotton fabrics are not surprising.

Denim

Denim is a denser fabric. And all the same, you will not be surprised by it either in summer or in winter. However, the number and variety of denim clothing makes you convince fashionistas to buy an original new denim outfit for 2018. Choose from jeans, jackets, dresses, skirts and many other items of clothing, right up to party outfits. Really and festive, you say. Then take a look at the Brandon Maxwell, Stella McCartney or Unravel collections.

Plastic

And one more material that has repeatedly declared itself earlier. But now plastic things are becoming commonplace in the new season. The Chanel collection has plastic raincoats and boots, Valentino has a jacket, and there are other original looks.

Striped print 2018

For the spring-summer period, the strip is again relevant, especially the vertical one. And this pleases, since horizontal stripes are suitable only slim women... If you prefer to stay fashionable and stylish, you can opt for a striped outfit in different directions.

Cell print

The checkered print, which can be said equally with the stripe, won the runway at the spring-summer 2018 shows.

Landscape print in women's fashion 2018

Do you think that only photomurals with a landscape of mountains, forests or the sea are possible? Not at all. Designers, in their ideas, go far into the mountains, into the Alpine meadows and even into some jungle, placing them on clothes. The new trend of the original print will be relevant in the spring-summer of 2018. Designers invent, but we should think about where, on what and what to place on their clothes.

One thing is clear - most of the ideas of fashion designers are for relaxation and for the young. And everyone else who wants to dress in "landscape design" will have to seek help from stylists so that they can help place extravagant novelties on our clothes. The choice is rich, as is nature itself and the world around us, but urban subjects have gained particular popularity among designers, which are often found in the form of images of famous architectural monuments, fantastic landscapes and many other picturesque elements.

Animal print

Wild animals, their aggressiveness once again inspire designers to create daring images. For example, in the Versace brand, designers chose a leopard print, and for the Roberto Cavalli collection - black and white zebra stripes, designer Elie Saab liked python skin. Now the choice is yours.

Floral print and simple flowers

Flowers are a favorite theme of many designers. If you also love floral prints or décor, you can find such outfits at Valentino, Zimmermann, Badgley Mischka, Dolce & Gabbana, Marchesa and many other designers who love flora.

Eclecticism

Eclecticism remains in fashion trends and not only in the kit as a whole, but also in prints. Peas and checks, checks and stripes, patchwork and leopard, floral prints with comics ... Be careful, you can turn into a clown.

Pop Art

This trend in the visual arts has long been in vogue, it conveys the taste and mood of the middle of the twentieth century. In the images in the style of pop art, on the one hand, there is a sense of youth and sexuality, on the other - dreaminess and even some naivety. Nowadays, pop art is back in vogue. Bright and unexpected pop art color combinations appeared at Versace runway shows.

Pastel

There are many pastel shades. It's summer after all. Delicate, warm, soft and cool shades will bring a bit of femininity into our look and, perhaps, some kind of sweet helplessness…. To avoid looking pale and overly insecure, pair them with bright little details or accessories.

Colored total bows

Monochromatic looks have shown themselves seriously and for a long time already last season. There were many of them, but most of them were bright and rich. In the new season, monochromatic images continue to master the conquered spaces. For spring-summer 2018, designers suggest composing them from pastel shades. In any case, the best looks came out in the collections of Max Mara, Valentino, Lemaire, Jacquemus.

Black and white 2018

In modern fashion, designers prefer to use different colors, as well as their combinations. But, you see, there is always a combination of black and white. Black and white is a classic. And in new collections, she is welcomed by many designers. Some of them are considering the usual option - "white top - black bottom", someone is a combination of black and white in prints, and some are introducing white elements into the main black background, or vice versa.

In any case, by combining contrasting color shades, you can get images with elegant simplicity and strict sophistication.



Continuing the conversation about fashion trends for spring-summer 2018, one cannot fail to note the popularity of sundresses, dressing gowns, bright saturated colors, shine of sequins and metallic fabrics. Short shorts have bypassed many trends in popularity. Of course, this is understandable, because the summer season is a vacation at sea, so new shorts, like a swimsuit, should definitely appear in your wardrobe.

Considering that the weather must be necessarily warm, even in spring, the designers offered original trench coats for your choice. In the collections there are many light coats with beautiful pastel shades and floral prints.

In the warm season of 2018 many brands will advertise their products themselves, as large lettering-logos are returning on products, especially of a sporting nature. Bright paints, color blocks, lettering and comics remain as popular in the summer as ever.
