Fashion trends
Fashion trends can be defined as gradual changes in fashion styles. The fashion trend differs in many factors like season, region and occasion. What to wear this season, which clothes fits you to the occasion, tips to match up the trend lets ponder over all these. We have different style statements for different occasion like Work style and Weekend style lets check them one by one.
Weekend Style
Are you at a loss for what to wear when the weekend arrives? Do you have trouble getting ready for a formal event or are you looking for informal styles? In this section we’ll tell you about 4 ensembles for weekend style.
We’ll begin with two formal styles.
- Black pants
- Black blouse with brown reflections
- Party purse
- Black shoes
In this photo we see black straight-leg pants and a sleeveless blouse with little flounces in the chest area. The bag is small, for parties, with satin decorations. The shoes are closed and with high black heels.
• When can I use it?
This ensemble is ideal for going out at night. It’s very elegant. We can use it for going to dinner, a show, theater, performances, etc.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
The blouse gives volume to the chest due to the flounces. It stylizes the abdomen since it is narrower (without clinging) and uses dark tones. It’s ideal to augment the bust and stylize the abdomen. All similar pants to those in the photo stylize our legs; they are a good option for looking taller. The high-heeled shoes complement the pants. The purse is appropriate for going out at night, and it’s flattering since it is small and doesn’t add volume anywhere.
• How can I adapt it?
We can change the color of the pants to brown as in the blouse, but we need to remember that black has more combining potential. The blouse can be any color since there are myriad colors that will look good. With this type of blouse we don’t recommend adding a belt since the flounces already give it enough shape. We can add some earrings, a ring or bracelet to give a more sophisticated touch. The shoes can be black, brown, gold...
- Black tube skirt
- Black shirt
- Green scarf
- Black shoes
This ensemble is composed of a knee-length tube or pencil skirt. The blouse is semi-fitted in black. In this photo we see a green pistachio scarf and black shoes.
• When can I use it?
This is a formal style for night-time; classic yet current. The touch of the scarf is attention-getting and breaks the monotony of the black color, countering seriousness. It is appropriate for formal events or leisure events that are somewhat serious.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
The pencil skirt augments the feminine figure, giving the effect of a narrow waist and shapely hips. If you have wide hips you can use a darker black color. The black top is flattering as it is a dark color which does not add volume; in fact it has the opposite effect. The black shoes stylize the figure since they have high heels and for a purse, a small or medium-small size in black will be perfect. A monocolor ensemble in black stylizes the figure in general, and visually it makes us look thinner.
• How can I adapt it?
The ensemble without the scarf is a very classic and elegant style. You’ll know for sure you’ll look terrific. We can combine the skirt with any color top or blouse. If we wear a monocolor ensemble we can play with the style of the scarf to give a more dynamic touch. The shoes can be the color of the ensemble or of the scarf or even the bag. If we don’t find the scarf flattering we can use a necklace, remembering that the ensemble will become more informal.
Now that we’ve seen the formal styles, let’s look at a couple of more informal styles.
- Jeans
- ustard shirt
- Black belt
- Black beret
- Black bag
- Black shoes
The jeans are dark in color, with a low waist and straight leg. The shirt is cotton with three-quarter length sleeves and a mustard color (very in fashion this season). The belt is slightly wide and black like the shoes, which are close-toed and high-heeled. The purse is “Maxi”, ideal for going shopping.
• When can I use it?
This ensemble is very fashionable and comfortable. It’s great for going shopping, picking up the kids from school, going out for a drink, to the movies...
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
The shirt with three-quarter length sleeves lightly shortens the arms. Since it is made of cotton it’s flattering because it shapes without clinging. It’s an informal ensemble but with a sexy, fashionable style. The jeans are flattering because they stylize the lower part of the body.
In this case if you use high-heeled shoes you give yourself more height.
• How can I adapt it?
We can use flat boots or flat shoes. A jean jacket would be ideal for making this ensemble complete. We can change the color of the shirt to any other, since the jeans will go with anything. Another option would be to combine a black shirt and a best and a beret of another color, to give a fun and daring touch.
- Brown pants
- Dark orange cotton shirt
- Brown shoes and bag
- Gold and brown necklace
The cotton shirt in dark orange is another of the most fashionable colors this season. It’s long sleeved and round-necked.
The pants are brown and are made of a mix of cotton and lycra that doesn’t bind. They have a straight line.
The shoes are open-toed and have medium-high heels and the bag is medium-large with small gold-colored buckles.
The necklace is gold and brown and medium-length.
• When can I use it?
Just like the first ensemble it’s appropriate for leisure events, going to eat with friends, shopping, movies, etc.
• How do I know if it will flatter me?
The straight-leg pants stylize the legs as do the heeled shoes. The cotton shirt is very comfortable and practical for many activities. It’s a flattering piece since it doesn’t bind but shows a feminine figure. The necklace is flattering since it has a round and oval shape which break the homogeneity of the clothes.
• How can I adapt it?
There are many colors that flatter the brown color, and if the orange is too daring for you, try beige, gold, or another brown tone. And if you like, you can match the ensemble with yellows or even reds. With this option we can add a black belt or another color combination with the shoes and bag. We can replace the pants and use jeans. If you wear a long necklace, son’t use a belt since it will overload the image. You can also wear flat boots or shoes to be more comfortable.
Style for Work
We often have doubts about what we should wear to work. The appropriate work style depends a lot on the type of workplace, what looks good on you, and what you can combine to get the most out of each ensemble that you have.
Next we’ll show you four ensembles for work. We’ll start by telling you about two formal styles for work.
- Black pantsuit with jacket.
- White shirt.
- Black shoes with heels.
The first option for work is a black pantsuit with jacket. The jacket is semi-fitted with a simple button and the pants are straight. The shirt is smooth and white and the shoes are black and have medium-high heels.
• When can I use it?
As we’ve said before, it’s a formal style for work. It’s appropriate for any environment, since it is a classic formal ensemble. We can use it in jobs where we interact with the public, in offices, etc.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
A formal suit gives a very elegant and professional look. The straight leg pants stylize the legs and if it’s black it gives you a very sharp and appropriate image for your professional environment.
• How can I adapt it?
The pantsuit has different variations, and we can find it in various colors such as brown, beige, etc. We can play with the color of the blouse and adapt it to the style and workplace of each person.
- Brown pants
- Striped shirt
- Brown shoes and purse
Here we see brown pants with straight legs and a high rise. The shirt has vertical brown stripes that match the color of the pants. The bag is medium-large and earth-colored, with gold buckles and the shoes match and have a medium heel.
• When can I use it?
We can use it for work, and if we complement it with a brown jacket we have a formal look with a dynamic touch created by the vertical lines.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
The straight leg pants with high rise stylize the lower part of the body. To compensate, the vertical lines are ideal to stylize the torso as well.
The medium-heeled shoes (5 or 6 cm) will go well for work, since they are more agile and permit more range of motion for comfort, without losing the figure-stylizing effect of heels. The bag is perfect, since it is of a medium size and is practical for holding everything necessary.
• How can I adapt it?
To adapt this ensemble to make it more formal, we can change the shirt color and combine everything with different colors. We can use a small scarf around the neck in a gentle color like pale rose which is very popular this season, and break the homogeneity of the browns.
Now that we’ve seen the formal ensembles, we’ll move on to the more informal styles.
- Black pants
- High-neck black sweater
- Black shoes
- Necklaces
This ensemble is composed of knit black straight-leg pants, a high-necked black sweater of fine wool, and necklaces to break up the dark color. The shoes are medium-heeled and have a closed toe.
• When can I use it?
This is a more informal style since we replace the shirt and jacket for a sweater. We can use it for work with an elegant style but not so formal.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
This ensemble makes you look thinner, since it uses black and the pants are straight-legged. The necklaces give us dynamism and reduce seriousness. The shoes with heels, as we know, stylize the figure!
• How can I adapt it?
If we want to project more accessibility, we can change the color of the sweater for any other, since the black pants will accept many color combinations. We can also replace the necklaces for another accessory such as another kind of necklace or a scarf and match them with the shoes. This will give a feminine and fun touch to your image.
- Jeans
- Blouse
- Black shoes
- Necklace
The jeans are straight and have a low rise. The blouse is roomy and in a cream color, with a closed neck and a little button on the chest. The shoes are black and we combine everything with a black and silver necklace.
• When can I use it?
You can use this ensemble for going out on weekends as well as for working in an informal location. It’s very flattering since, although they are jeans, they are dark and they stylize the legs like black pants do.
• How do I know if it will look good on me?
As we’ve mentioned before, the pants stylize the figure, and furthermore we complement them with medium heels, which are easy to wear. The blouse is a good alternative to using a shirt or t-shirt. It gives a feminine touch since it has puffy sleevs and the neck is adjustable however we prefer (more open or closed). The use of a necklace gives a more fun touch to the ensemble and goes perfectly with the color of the shoes.
• How can I adapt it?
We can change the color of the blouse for any other, since we’re using jeans which go with anything. We can also match the shoes to the color of the blouse. The appropriate bag will depend on the color of the blouse or shoes. Since this color is full of flattering colors, dare to try a dark orange or mustard color, which will give you a different and noticeable touch!
