As you will have seen from my previous blogpost, last week I went to London Fashion Weekend and I saw two shows. One was Amanda Wakeley (next blogpost) and the other was a trend show put on by the OUTNET.com. The show was made up of four main trends that the OUTNET.com think will be popular for AW14.
TREND 1: ONE AND ONLY
This is trend all about choosing one colour and basing your whole outfit on it! This can be in the form of shoes, accessories or different shades of the same colour. The look is from head to toe and because it is quite a minimal trend I saw a lot of different textures on the catwalk, from faur fur to lace, anything to make this minimal trend anything from boring!
TREND 2: CANDY CRUSH
Normally a trend for spring and summer but it has now transferred over to autumn and winter! Think light shades, think sweets from an old sweet shop, think baby versions of every colour. From baby pinks to blue to purples! The pastels should be fairly tailored but loose at the same time. Think casual workwear with an edge and a grown-up look to it. I have already seen a lot of muted pinks around the shops recently so I think this will be quite a hot trend until even next spring/summer.
TREND 3: JUNGLE FEVER
This trend is bright but classic safari colours. With leather and prints and as Angela Scanlon said about it before the show '...go for anything that looks like it's real enough to crawl off your back'. This trend ranges from loud prints to muted jungle colours of beige, brown and black. Earthly tones mixed with leather will be the perfect thing to wear this season, mixing the almost boring with edge.
TREND 4: FAIRY TALE ENDING
Who is the fairest of them all? The Fairy Tale Ending trend of course! This was a real wow trend to finish off the catwalk show. It featured large ballgowns, flowing frocks and A LOT of embellishment. Most dresses very feminine and floaty but some darker pieces added for more of an evil villain type look.
A lot of chiffon type of material was used, ranging in all colours, from the very bright attention seeking ones to the muted colours fit for a princess! Put on your tiara and join in on this trend and it's perfect for Christmas time!
The show was incredible and left me really inspired to see what I can do with this season's upcoming trends in my own wardrobe! What trend is your favourite?
