2013 Spring Fashion Trends
As usual, the runways were full of trend-setting pieces for the spring/summer 2013 season. From attention-grabbing eyewear to unique plays on color and detailing, designers debuted looks that will shake up just about every wardrobe. Not sure what can translate to your personal style? Check out a roundup of this spring’s most wearable trends and find the must-haves for your closet.
Statement glasses
You might not think of eyewear as something that would show up on a fashion runway, but that’s exactly what some designers showcased in their spring/summer 2013 lines. But, we’re not talking about just any old glasses or sunglasses, this designer eyewear makes a statement. Featuring eyewear with oversized frames, unpredictable geometric shapes, metallics and bright, bold colors and designs, these on-trend accessories are a sure way to spice up your everyday repertoire.
Cutouts & Sheer
Clothing with cutouts is another big standout in this year’s spring and summer lines. You’ll see peekaboo details on the shoulders, sides, midriffs and backs of dresses and tops. If you’re comfortable baring a little skin, this trend is for you. Another see-through trend this season is sheer fabric. Whether in the form of sheer panels on a dress or a completely sheer top, this look may seem intimidating, but it’s easy to pull off without risking any wardrobe malfunctions. Simply choose pieces with thicker fabric, strategically placed pockets, or wear a matching cami underneath. With plenty of options to choose from, don’t let a little modesty keep you from rocking this look!
Black & White
While spring probably makes you think of pastels or bright, sunny shades of pink and yellow, designers showcased plenty of strong black-and-white looks as well. From graphic checks to thick stripes, black-and-white was everywhere on the runways this season. Some of the more exaggerated patterns give off decidedly 60s mod or 90s throw-back vibes for a very bold statement. But, this trend can also be incorporated in a more minimalistic way to make it wearable for the everyday girl.
Cap-toe shoes
A shoe style that’s trending this season is the cap toe. Characterized by toe boxes with a contrasting color, you’ll find this popular look in both heels and flats. To really get in on the trend go with cap toe shoes featuring an updated twist such as mixed materials like patent leather paired with suede, or extra embellishments like rhinestones and spikes.
Interested in capturing some of these trends for your own wardrobe? Don’t think you have to mimic them exactly the way they were shown on the runway. You might not want to go all out in a revealing sheer dress or funky geometric sunglasses, but you can still capture the essence of these looks in more subtle ways. The key is to customize the pieces to better represent your personal style. Do that and you’ll be on-trend all season long!
