The runways have spoken: These are the season’s top six trends. Check them out below – then learn how to make them yours.
Latin Spice
Runway: Modern lace creations in a host of fiery hues were all the rage at Proenza Schouler.
Real Way: Stick to a black, white, and red color palette, and look for signature details like lace and embroidery.
Victorian Romance
Runway: Alexander McQueen sent out a flurry of old-world charm in the form of elegant dresses splashed with micro florals.
Real Way: Ethereal maxis aren’t just for romantic evenings – pair ruffles and small-scale floral prints for a flirty spin on the everyday.
New Nautical
Runway: All-American power house Ralph Lauren took sailor-chic literally for spring, with stripes and maritime-inspired hues.
Real Way: Modernize the look by combining crisp, structured tops and multidirectional lines – horizontal and vertical are both a go.
Fashion Carnival
Runway: Oversized bows and clashing patterns had the Gucci show feeling like a funhouse.
Real Way: It’s all about being yourself. Inject a bit of quirk with bold, mismatched prints, and finish with shimmering accents.
California Dreamy
Runway: Patchwork prints and crochet details made the looks at Tommy Hilfiger totally wearable.
Real Way: Take your cue right from the show and mix patchwork, crochet, and fringe to evoke music-festival vibes from anywhere.
90s Minimalist
Runway: Rag & Bone was all about simplistic shapes and urban-inspired accessories – a.k.a. fashion’s answer to grunge.
Real Way: Nineties revival is still going strong. Try funking up a slinky slip dress with utility chains and a whole lot of leather.
