Rosettes/ Ruffles
Although the return of rosettes gives us severe nostalgia we must admit this 80’s styling choice is going to be one of the hottest trends of the year. At NYFW many different designers showcased the rosette in different forms, at Christian Siriano appliqués were front and centre. With rosettes down the sides of dresses, accentuated cut-outs and crowded together on wide-brimmed hats.
Balletcore
Dancers have always given inspiration to designers over the years but the recent resurgance in popularity of practice clothes and leotards has coined the term ‘balletcore’. It is not surprising since there has been such a rise in athleisure wear and with covid people are dressing more casually.
Maxi/skirts
Denim is an all-American classic go-to. So, it is no wonder that every season it is a favourite for designers on the runway and they find different ways to re-work it. This season it was all about the denim maxi skirt, the best ones just tracing the floor. They are an easy way of elongating the body.
Cargo pants
There has been a lot of noughties nostalgia in the last few seasons and there is nothing more noughts than cargo trousers. A staple streetwear style beloved by All Saints and Aaliyah. Originally rooted in utilitarianism they have had a high fashion makeover and make for a comfortable and practical style.
