Who creates the initial images for new trends in the fashion world? Of course, ourselves! Fashion depends on the events that happen in the world, so we can influence it. There are no new concepts in the fashion world. These are all transformations of old traditional ideals. Nevertheless, women's fashion spring-summer 2017 will be able to surprise girls.
It's hard to find a person who doesn't listen to the fashion industry. Whether you keep up with modern innovations or not, you are still influenced by fashion.
Designers and fashion designers are in no hurry to reveal their new secrets. However, it is already possible to predict what awaits us in the spring and summer of 2017. Thus, all fashionistas can prepare in advance for the coming season by stocking up interesting ideas and make profitable purchases.
Main trends of the spring-summer 2017 season
The most important trend that will be seen throughout the entire line of clothing for this season is the cruise style, better known as “resort”. Its features and unique details are as follows:
1. Focus on the back area. This can be observed not only on evening dresses, but also on casual wear. Using massive fabrics that cover the back, you will emphasize the silhouette of the shoulders and give them expressiveness. A large neckline will add sexiness.
2. Stripes in a variety of combinations. Large vertical and horizontal stripes can be present on dresses and skirts, as well as on trousers. It is especially worth noting that diagonal stripes, when used correctly, can help visually hide all figure flaws and remove extra pounds.
3. Graphic print, however, not on materials familiar to everyone. Printing on fur fabrics and woolen products is very popular this year. A clearly defined graphic pattern is always relevant for street fashion.
4. Light colored jumpers. Many designers believe that such a thing should be in every wardrobe. A light sweatshirt will be an excellent basic item in any ensemble. It can be decorated with various accessories, which will further create a unique and inimitable image.
5. Loose folds. Designers once again surprise us with unusual solutions. This time, wedge-shaped and straight folds are in fashion, which in principle should be located in the most unusual places and be, as it were, unplanned.
6. Volumetric flounces. The main feature of using this innovation is the discreet style in the remaining details of the image. Only then will such a bow be able to make the proper impression. Shuttlecocks can be round or spiral-shaped. They can be seen on both light-textured clothing and heavy materials such as leather.
7. Color – tea rose. Here he is, main color season. Fashion is gradually moving away from rough shades and returning to feminine colors. Therefore, this time all pastel shades will be popular in combination with a marine palette and a mustard palette.

Thus, based on the above rules, you can try to make a list of things that will be popular in the new season. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the expression of femininity will be embodied in ethnic oriental motifs, elegant chic and a combination of shapes. The prototype for creating new collections is the androgynous type, which attracts the eye with its smartness and uniqueness when applying absolutely any style.

These trousers can be easily combined with large tops and long jackets. For those who are not afraid to take risks, you can try combining culottes with a fitted jacket, which is decorated with an extensive peplum.

In the spring-summer season, jackets will become more feminine. They will have grooves added, and they will also become noticeably longer. Note:

Dresses spring-summer 2017
Fitted dresses are always popular this time too. A neat aristocratic collar is added to them white. Dresses must contrast with it. The color scheme is very pleasing: various shades red and brown, as well as purple and turquoise.
The length of the dress varies from medium to floor length. If you are wearing a midi size dress, then you should choose shoes with different ties and laces to emphasize the shape of your legs. A long dress floor length traditionally remains the most popular evening dress.

Main trends of 2017
And now, briefly about the 8 most important trends of the coming season
1. Ruffles and frills. In the new season, designers chose to pay attention to huge waves and delicate ruffles, which add expressiveness to the figure and emphasize sexuality. There are so many ruffles and flounces in the collection that it undoubtedly becomes clear that fashion is trying to become as feminine as possible. Some fashion designers liked this decision so much that they even decorated formal office jackets, sportswear and traditional rough men's leather jackets with frills. Thus, even the most evil and aggressive outfits at first glance turned out to be gentle and airy
2. Transparency. From year to year, the fabrics from which new clothes are made become thinner and thinner. They are already almost completely transparent. Silk and chiffon take leading positions on the catwalks. Designers have reached the point where lace tops and trousers barely hide underwear. It is important to note that such clothes can be in demand not only on the catwalks, but also in everyday life. The main thing is to understand how to wear it correctly. If you wear a bodysuit under such a dress, the image becomes complete and causes exceptional admiration. It can hardly be called vulgar or vulgar.
3. Open shoulders. Traditionally, it is believed that open shoulders look much more sophisticated than a deep neckline. This trend has swept all fashion catwalks. There are a couple of options for how to open your shoulders. Firstly, you can lower them to the armhole, but this is not recommended. Secondly, an asymmetrical cut will create a seductive neckline.
4. Fringe and feathers. Fringe has become one of the most commonly used materials this season. It is present both on clothes and accessories and even on shoes. Some designers have even created an image where fringe is the main outfit. Ostrich feathers even complement business office suits. The opinion of designers agrees that fringe can bring a small spark of life, energy, and brightness to even the most boring image.
5. Metallic. The new season will be filled with sparkle, because its main color is metallic. Pants that look like they are made of foil, trouser suits that look like a mirror, dresses that look like they are made of real metal - all this, metallic and its various variations and manifestations. He became the inspiration for much of the new collection. It is worth noting that if previously it was difficult to imagine that such things could be worn to work, now this is absolutely not the case. Many models are made quite modestly, which allows them to become part of the everyday wardrobe.
6. Pantsuits. The 2017 season is dominated by informal models traditional clothes. The famous trouser suits, distinguished by their severity, have long gone out of fashion. They were replaced by options with “predatory” coloring, a bodice instead of a blouse, and many other changes. Fashion designers advise wearing new trouser suits not only to the office, but also for a walk with friends or even outdoor recreation.
7. Overalls. The origin of this outfit is usually considered to be from a typical robe, but today everything is absolutely not the case. This gorgeous combination of trousers and blouses can give a head start to even chic evening dresses. The overalls can be worn even to work, the main thing is to choose a more formal style, without various decorations.
8. Dress over pants. The trend from the 90s is back with us. A dress worn over jeans is a representation of layering in clothing. As it may seem at first glance, these items do not go together, however, if you choose the composition wisely, you can get a chic look. The most interesting thing is that the dress does not have to match the texture and material with the trousers. It may also be completely different in color. Designers advise playing with contrast.

Floral prints in spring-summer women's clothing collections 2017
There are a lot of different floral prints. That is, of course, it’s understandable - floral patterns are always present in spring-summer collections, but we have never seen such a variety of patterns on fabric - large, small, bright and barely noticeable, embossed on fabric.
Flowers of all sizes and shapes were seen on dresses, blouses and sundresses in the collections Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Gucci, Christopher Kane, Emilia Wickstead, Dries von Noten, Alice+Olivia,Barbara Tfank, Fendi and Max Mara.

Romantic and feminine ruffles were in fashion last season and will be in fashion next season.
Fashionable looks of Blumarine spring-summer 2017
Collection Gucci spring-summer 2017 seems to hint at the connection between the past and the present - judging by the clothes of the girls and the general atmosphere of the show, the action takes place either in a nightclub of the 70s, or in a luxurious boudoir of the Renaissance era. Ruffles and frills are an almost obligatory decorative element in the clothing of girls from different times.
Brand Creative Director Alice + Olivia Stacey Bendet said she started working on the spring-summer collection after a trip to Italy with her friend. A friend was working on a tarot card design while traveling. The romantic atmosphere of Italy combined with the mysticism of caro cards was sought and reflected in the collection.
Puffy sleeves on blouses and dresses
This trend, beloved by street fashionistas, is also not going to give up its position.
We saw voluminous sleeves in the collections Dries von Noten, Marc Jacobs, Simone Rocha, Saint Laurent, Erdem, Kenzo, Jasquemos and others.
Fashionable dresses and blouses with bare shoulders spring-summer 2017
80s style jackets with shoulder pads
Grace Jones, a popular black singer and actress of the 1980s, had a square haircut and was known for her love of androgynous style and angular clothing. Her meticulously thought-out style was imitated by millions, and even in the Soviet Union in the eighties, a coat without “shoulders” was not considered a good coat at all.
Why Grace Jones's style was imitated and why it is back in fashion - we don't know. But there is something in it, at least in its modern interpretation, isn’t it?
In spring and summer, fashion houses offer coats and jackets with shoulder pads Michael Kors And Chanel.
Fashionable wide trousers spring-summer 2017
Talking about the fashion trends of the past and the seasons before last, we wrote about the popularity of wide trousers in wide circles. The fashion of wearing them has migrated to the spring-summer season of 2017.
The photos above and below prove that modern fashion so flexible and democratic that even within the same trend you can create completely different images.
Lace and chiffon spring-summer 2017: transparency of intentions
Almost all the main trends of the autumn-winter season are intertwined. For example, the sleeves of the bomber jacket in the photo on the right are an intricacy of ruffles made of lace (and once upon a time these same ones were worn exclusively by military personnel! But now they are decorate, Karl!!!), the jacket itself is striped, on the jacket there is decor in the most fashionable color of spring and summer 2017 - fuchsia. In total, we have 4 fashion trends in one image.
Chiffon and lace - fashionable fabrics in spring and summer 2017
Of course, we also came across dresses that were completely see-through. Let's say in collections Christopher Kane, Alexander McQueen, Sonya Rykiel, John Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Jason Woe Jiambattista Valli…
We don’t know if you will wear this, but just in case, let’s say that all the models at the shows wore panties under transparent dresses like “shorts”, no thongs or even “lambadas”.
Bustiers / well, very short tops for spring and summer 2017
They are worn over shirts, blouses or directly on the naked body.
Even the most modest options, such as a bustier from the collection Miu Miu SS 2017, make the images much sexier.
Fashionable denim clothes spring-summer 2017
Denim clothing was traditionally seen in the collection Marques Almeida. By the way, presenting their debut collection in 2011, the married couple Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida in 2011 relied on denim. In five years the brand Marques Almeida became recognizable, and designers stopped limiting themselves to it alone. At the same time, denim suits, dresses and jackets are invariably present in all their collections.
In fashionable denim-based looks from Alice+Olivia retro 70s style and ethnic style are tied together. How? The skill of the designer, of course!
“Yes”, “No” to say, black and white - to call
Most likely, it was precisely because of the abundance of colors and colored prints that many designers wanted to balance their collections with the help of neutral and at the same time stylish basic colors - white, black and beige.
Black and white outfits spring-summer 2017 Celine
The creative director of the Moscino brand traditionally turned the show into a show, turning the models into paper dolls, which many of us played with as children. By the way, like the fireplace in Papa Carlo’s closet, the gold chain on the model’s skirt on the right is painted!
Many images from Prada were in a sporty style, and ¾ of the total were decorated with ostrich feathers.

Cool
From season to season, famous fashion designers keep the public busy and create new and exciting trends on the catwalk. Some fashion trends of 2017 remind us of the fashion of the past, of course they appear in a new interpretation, but the connection with a certain time period plays an important role. Others impress with their innovation. In any case, each season becomes exciting and unique thanks to the diversity of fashion and the desire of designers to leave their mark on history.
So, what will surprise us with the new fashion trends spring-summer 2017? It is worth noting that some fashion trends have successfully moved from last season, changing only slightly. For example, the style of the 80s era remains relevant for the second season in a row. And if in the fall designers relied on brightness and catchiness in the clothes of that time, this time the emphasis is on voluminous shoulders. This element was present in both business and evening style in the 80s. Just remember the main characters of the cult TV series “Dynasty”, and you will immediately understand where brands drew inspiration for the fashion trends of spring 2017. Also from last season, designers still have a love for military style, fringe and frills.
Well, the new fashion trends of 2017 are also attracting attention. So, unexpectedly for many, the corset was once again at the peak of popularity and “baby doll” style dresses came back into fashion. Let's take a closer look at each trend for the spring-summer 2017 season.
Fashion trends spring-summer 2017: current styles
Today there are so many styles in fashion that, without inventing something new, designers successfully experiment with existing trends, offering current solutions. The style of the spring-summer collections 2017 is very diverse - from romantic boho to flashy 80s.
80s style
80s style continues to inspire designers for the second season in a row. This time, the main feature of this spring-summer 2017 fashion trend is wide shoulders. And if this famous silhouette of the 80s is also combined with bright color, then this is an accurate hit on the target. However, not everyone will dare to return jackets and dresses with wide shoulders to their wardrobe. Well, let's see how it looks on the catwalk. The style of the 80s in the spring-summer season inspired the fashion houses of Balenciaga, Kenzo and Saint Laurent.

Military style
If in the autumn-winter season the military style was gloomy and harsh, then in the spring of 2017 everything changed. The fashion trends of 2017 included formal military wear, as seen at the Dolce&Gabbana and Dsquared2 shows. Moreover, these fashion houses decided to make military more feminine by combining “uniforms” with miniskirts and sheer fabrics. For those who are more attracted to the brutal military style, the Fay collection has been created, where you can find several looks in khaki colors and a laconic cut.

Boho chic style
In contrast to the military style, free and relaxed boho chic has come into fashion. This spring-summer 2017 fashion trend may become a favorite for creative and bright people, since it was created just for them. Embroidery, loose fit, flowing fabrics - all this characterizes boho chic. Features of this style could be seen at the shows of Alberta Ferretti, Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen and others.

Fashion trends spring-summer 2017: current items
Sometimes it’s not a whole trend that comes into fashion, but a specific thing. It is not surprising, because many wardrobe items at one time made a revolution and became symbols of the era. Designers are always interested in the idea of rethinking such things. But the spring-summer 2017 fashion trends will definitely surprise you, because one of the trending things of 2017 came from the very distant past.
Overalls
Overalls have long been transformed from workwear into evening dresses. Celebrities appear on the red carpet in overalls, and all because designers have been fantasizing about different variations of this wardrobe item for several seasons in a row. Fashion trends spring-summer 2017 allow you to wear absolutely any overalls: seductive ones with many cutouts, like at the Balmain show, or denim ones with zippers, like during the Vetements show. The choice is yours.

Baby doll dress
And if we practically did not forget about the jumpsuit, then charming dresses in the “baby doll” style left the catwalks for some time. But in the spring and summer of 2017, doll mini-dresses are more popular than ever. They can be seen at the shows of Fendi, Anna Sui, Chloe and many others. The fashion house Fendi decided to develop fashion trend on a doll theme and in an advertising campaign. Gigi and Bella Hadid and other models dressed as dolls pose in a “toy” house.

Corset and wide belt
Amateurs thin waist can rejoice, and all thanks to the fact that the corset has returned to fashion. Wide belts will be no less popular. No, this spring-summer 2017 fashion trend is not a return to the Middle Ages, but a new way to make a fashionable emphasis on the waist. How to wear a corset in the spring-summer season 2017 can be seen in the collections of Dolce & Gabbana and Tibi. And wide belts are impressively presented in the Balmain collection.

Fashion trends spring-summer 2017: details
The most fashionable features are always hidden in the details. After all, by and large, we wore dresses two centuries ago, and we still wear them now. But these dresses are completely different. So, if you want to accurately fall into the fashion trends of 2017, pay attention to the details - the shape of the sleeves, cut, decor.
Long sleeve
The elongated sleeve, we must admit, is not the most comfortable fashion trend of 2017. However, a similar detail in looks can be seen at the shows of Prabal Gurung, DKNY, Michael Kors and many others.

Volume sleeve
We continue to closely monitor changes in sleeves in the spring-summer 2017 collections. And for those who are not ready to wear long sleeves, designers are offering a more wearable fashion trend for spring-summer 2017 - pay attention to the volume. Voluminous sleeves appeared in the images of the fashion houses Dolce&Gabbana, Kenzo and others.

Fringe
In most cases, fringe makes the image more dynamic and memorable. Fringe was present in the collections of Elie Saab, Rodarte, Anna Sui and many others. It is worth noting that this spring-summer 2017 fashion trend is increasingly attracting celebrities. For example, Prinyaka Chopra charmed photographers in a dress with fringe from Sally La Pointe at the People's Choice Awards 2017, the same event was attended by Blake Lively, the actress also could not resist the playful fringe and preferred a cocktail dress from Elie Saab.

Fashion trends spring-summer 2017: fabrics and textures
Transparent fabrics
The fashion for transparency is only gaining momentum. So in 2017 we can expect even more naked dresses on the red carpet. But "transparency" isn't just offered for celebrity appearances. As part of the spring-summer 2017 fashion trends, designers offered a huge number of options for transparent dresses for different cases, but their adaptation to real life still remains a difficult issue. Transparent fabrics can be seen in the collections of Dolce&Gabbana, Fendi, Dior and many others.

Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Saint Laurent
Leather
Designers use leather in almost every season. This time, leather items are more aggressive and brutal. Designers often opted for total looks made of leather: leather dresses and suits appeared on the catwalk. To adapt this 2017 fashion trend to your wardrobe, let’s pay attention to looks from the Versus, Tibi and Jeremy Scott collections.

Metallic
We continue to sparkle in the new spring-summer season 2017. The trend for “Metallic” in gold or silver is still relevant, and this is proven by numerous collections, including Elie Saab, Balmain, Kenzo, etc.
From season to season, fashion becomes more spectacular and spectacular. The spring-summer season 2017-2018 will not bring us any dramatic changes. The same dresses and raincoats will be popular, but in a slightly different interpretation. More daring mixes and more complex multi-layered images will appear. Popular trends will be sporty chic, military and uniforms, ethnic motifs and even hippie style. All this will be mixed into unimaginable combinations and served with a sauce named after extravagance.
The main trends and features of fashion for the spring – summer 2017 – 2018 season
- Sporty chic
Many designers, creating their collections, combined sports and high fashion. In the coming season, many fashionable and comfortable things will appear in our wardrobe. It would be quite appropriate to wear it with your favorite sneakers or flip-flops, a warm sweater can be combined with a skirt made of metallic fabric, trousers made of light fabrics with stripes will also come into fashion. Look at the photos from the new collections of Anna Sui, Boss, DKNY, Gucci, Lasha Jokhadze Tbilisi, Max Mara, Paul Smith and Moschino for fashionable looks 2017 in the sporty chic style.
- Oversized dresses
The concept of oversized has long been included in the lexicon modern girls who follow fashion. However, until this season, sizeless clothing was mostly outerwear. In the spring of 2017, long dresses will come into fashion, hiding, perhaps, all the features of the figure. Many girls may not like this street fashion trend, but sometimes it’s worth adding something new to your wardrobe. Oversized dresses are suitable for evening and Sunday walks in the park or trips to the supermarket. They are undoubtedly comfortable. They are best worn with sneakers or slip-ons; you can tie a light scarf on top. Some models will look good with cropped leather jackets.

- Pleating
The pleated skirt itself is not new. What matters this season is what you wear it with. And you need to combine a pleated skirt with a voluminous oversized jumper, sweatshirt or sweatshirt. This stylish street look will be complemented by shoes or ankle boots with stable heels or fashionable plain leather sneakers. Don't forget to take an envelope clutch in your hand or hang a small backpack on your shoulder.

Last year was the year wild cat. Leopard print was present in many clothing collections. Spring-summer 2017 fashion will also not be complete without animal prints, but they will be somewhat different. Products made from reptile leather will be very popular.
Clothing made from the finest snake skin looks impressive, respectable and adds some aggressiveness to the image. And in order not to go broke, but to be fashionable, you can come up with a stylish monochrome look and complement it with a clutch or snakeskin shoes.
- Perforated leather
We all know that fashion is cyclical. Forgotten by everyone, perforated leather will regain its former popularity this spring. Interesting models clothing and accessories made from perforated leather are widely represented in the Salvatore Ferragamo collection.
- Strip
Still haven't purchased your striped trousers or dress? Then it’s worth updating your wardrobe, because stripes won’t go out of style for at least a couple more seasons.
- Abundance of metal fittings
The now popular military style implies dark shades, an abundance of zippers, rivets, straps and other details that attract attention. Shoes will also be studded with rivets; wide leather belts with thin straps and small sparkling buckles will become popular. Rivets and zippers will also be relevant for clothing in the now fashionable sporty chic trend.
- Volume sleeve puff
This fashion trend is not for everyone. But if you are a lover of unusual silhouettes and shapes, then try on dresses with puff sleeves unusual cut. The sleeve can be semicircular or lantern-shaped, which will add volume to your shoulders. However, it is worth remembering the correct proportions. To make your figure look harmonious, choose a tapered skirt or trousers with a voluminous top.
Fashion for shoes, hats and accessories for the spring-summer 2017 season
- Comfortable shoes
Spring-summer 2017 fashion means comfort, which means that stiletto heels will be replaced by sneakers, flip-flops, low-top shoes with stable heels.
- Fashionable bag models
Fashion for the spring-summer 2017 season will delight us with a variety of accessories. There is one for every occasion fashion bag. For an evening out, a small clutch made of reptile skin or a miniature handbag for a mobile phone is suitable. For everyday use, you will need a spacious bucket bag and a business ring bag. If you prefer sport style, then you will like a backpack for the city and a fashionable belt bag.
- Volumetric decorations
An image without accessories can be called incomplete. This summer, accessories not only complement the look, but in some cases are the center of attention, such as the massive stone necklaces in the Givenchy collection. If you like more elegant accessories, then pay attention to such details as chokers. Such an accessory would be appropriate even with a business suit. The romantic mood can be emphasized by wearing a bracelet or brooch with large flower. The material from which the decoration is made can be any, be it silk or leather.
- Caps
This season, fashion designers invite us to pay attention to caps. Even the conservative fashion house Chanel relied on this seemingly purely sporty headdress. The unusual combination of a light dress and a cap makes the look more relaxed and bold. But important point is that the headdress should be in harmony with the rest of the things in color and style.

Delicate black lace is a feature of many spring-summer collections
Main trends of the spring-summer 2017 season
Summer fashion 2017 will bring us many surprises. Although, in general, designers adhere to the trends of past years, they have made them as “convex” and even controversial as possible - tenderness and lace, contrasting color combinations and a huge variety of shapes rule the roost, which fully corresponds to the dynamics and variability of modern life.
At the same time, fashion in 2017 is more than ever characterized by integrity and harmony, which is especially emphasized by soft fabrics that envelop the figure. Among the main trends are:
- a reference to the Victorian era with its feminine looks, lace, ruffles and numerous frills;
- popularization of ethnic patterns of the most different cultures and nationalities. Typically, this trend is embodied in a huge number of floral prints, covering the entire fabric with flowers and leaves;
- a variety of electric shades, geometric patterns, inscriptions, catchy logos, spectacular transitions and mixing colors and prints like a kaleidoscope.
The thigh-high slit is another favorite feature of most designers. The main stylistic trend in the spring and summer of 2017 is considered to be the cruise style of clothing (resort style), which includes:
- accents on the back (which are most often decorated with various cutouts, like at Maison Margiela) or graceful female legs (a dress with a thigh-high slit can be found in almost any summer collection);
- the craziest combinations of stripes - a mix of multidirectional lines and prints is welcome in clothes;
- graphic prints with bright, clearly defined blocks, like Michael Kors;
- a jumper, bomber or sweatshirt in pastel shades is real must have new fashion year, as Adam Lippes tells us;
- a lot of creative loose folds arranged in a completely unexpected way, which has already been demonstrated by Alexander Wang and Joseph Altuzarra;
- a lot of voluminous flounces even in heavy clothes made of leather or drape fabrics, which Toni Maticevski and DKNY successfully used;
- delicate shades Pink colour in combination with brown, mustard and rich blue, as demonstrated in their shows by Narciso Rodriguez and Jason Wu;
- an abundance of flowers decorating outerwear, dresses, trousers and even shoes.
Let's take a closer look at the most iconic trends in resort collections of 2017!
Trend #1: Flower Children
Floral print by Alice + Olivia, Moschino, Phillip Lim, Warm, Alexis Mabille Floral print helped designers decorate the already blooming spring-summer period. Among the peak trends of 2017, one can note both the floral total look and individual details in the form of large pink buds, watercolor flowers and appliqués reminiscent of children's drawings.
Floral romance has embraced all fashion segments - flowing skirts, formal suits, handbags and shoes, creating a truly spring mood. The magical flower garden is dominated by both delicate shades of pink and lilac, as well as rich reds, yellows, blues and greens, which was successfully demonstrated at shows from Oscar de la Renta, Alice + Olivia, Dolce&Gabbana, Moschino, Etro and Marc Jacobs.
Trend #2: Belts
Belts from Elie Saab, Oscar de la Renta, Lorenzo Serafini, Sonia Rykiel, Missoni A stylish design solution that completes any look are belts and sashes. They are the ones who pay attention to a woman’s thin waist. In 2017, belts became the most sought-after wardrobe item. Wide and deliberately pretentious, they practically replaced narrow straps with invisible buckles from the catwalk, in some cases taking the form of a corset belt.
Among the most popular materials remains patent leather and natural suede. Some designers have gone further than others, suggesting wearing several contrasting belts at once, moving them from the waistline to the neck, or even fastening them with a buckle back. By the way, the buckle itself has ceased to be a significant element, acquiring an increasingly minimalistic look, as stated by Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Sonia Rykiel, Alexander McQueen and Missoni.
Trend #3: Bombers
Bomber jackets from Cynthia Rowley, Alice + Olivia, Fendi, Coach, Yigal Azrouel Cropped bomber jackets, embroidered with appliqués and decorated with all kinds of prints, have become an absolute must-have of 2017. Almost no collection could do without them. Bomber jackets dominated the fashion shows not only of luxury houses such as Elie Saab, Anna Sui, Louis Vuitton, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Coach and Gucci, but also of the democratic brand Zara.
This jacket is so versatile that it can be paired with anything - from airy floor-length dresses to trousers and jeans. At the same time, bombers are an example of a personalized wardrobe item, because such a bright jacket, decorated with fancy embroidery, prints, logos and badges, is quite capable of demonstrating to the world the character of its owner. The trend is in delicate satin models, knitted variations presented in minimalist looks, and even leather bomber jackets in current style military.
Trend #4: Military
Military fantasies from Chanel, Antonio Marras, Valentino, Erdem, Marc Jacobs It seems that clothing in military style has firmly occupied the fashion Olympus. Military became a popular casual style back in the late 60s, when designers got tired of decorative looks and turned to strict military uniforms for inspiration. However, in 2017, this trend received a new interpretation, joining the ranks of fashion trends in a completely new quality.
Of course, the main features of the military style remained unchanged - jackets and coats similar to overcoats, a large number of pockets and camouflage colors are here to stay. However, the spring-summer collections added a little brightness to this traditionally masculine type of clothing. Not only swamp shades are allowed, but also bright hues khaki, camel and numerous multi-colored stripes, flowers and fringe.
Military jackets look especially attractive in combination with miniskirts and shorts, further emphasizing the fragile female figure. The inspiration drawn from the soldier's uniform is best expressed by the collections of Antonio Marras, Dior, Valentino, Dolce&Gabbana, Rachel Zoe and Chanel.
Trend #5: Flares
Flared trousers from Versace, Rachel Zoe, Moschino, Marco de Vincenzo 2017 was the year of sudden “comebacks”. It is rich in long-forgotten trends that have unexpectedly returned to fashion catwalks. These include the fashion for flared trousers, which has flared up with renewed vigor. Of course, it is impossible to label bell-bottoms revived by designers as “old school.” You can no longer find the excessive expansion typical of the 70s and overly catchy decor in the form of fringe or stripes.
They have a shortened length and slight extension from the knee. Mid-season collections from Versace, Cinq a Sept, Calvin Klein, Marco de Vincenzo, Sonia Rykiel, Alexander McQueen and Rosetta Getty presented fashionistas with flared trousers of a minimalist design, made primarily in monochrome colors. Exceptions are floral suits in a catchy white and burgundy combination from Cinq a Sept.
Trend #6: Bell Sleeves
Flared sleeves from Fendi, Temperley London, Roberto Cavalli, Rachel Zoe, Holly Fulton Bell sleeves were an iconic trend in the '70s, when boho and ethnic styles ruled the runways. Recent decades dispensed with this pretentious but noticeable element of decor - the designers admitted that the trend had become obsolete. And in 2017, flared sleeves became a feature of many fashion collections, loudly experiencing another birth.
Designers from fashion houses Alexander Wang, Fendi, Joseph Altuzarra, Roberto Cavalli and Holly Fulton have tried all the options for this sleeve - from neat cut-off sleeves with light flounces to exaggeratedly wide shapes. This solution looks especially catchy in dresses made of airy textures and decorated with stylized ethnic embroidery.
Trend #7: Dusty Rose Color
Dusty rose color from Apiece Apart, Delpozo, Emporio Armani, Bally, Roksanda The shade of dusty rose has become one of the trendy colors in resort collections. This delicate, infinitely feminine and elegant color, like no other, harmonizes with ease spring days. Delpozo, Bally and Roksanda decided to make the most of the possibilities of this girlish tone, making almost any clothes from it - the catwalks are filled with pink dresses, suits, light short coats and jumpers.
Trend #8: Logomania
Clothing with logos from Gucci, No. 21, Moschino, Chanel, DKNY To segment high fashion The logomania trend burst in, which for several years has been not just a sign of a lack of style, but even bad taste. Kenzo was the first to take the path of reviving this trend, placing the logo of the fashion house on a collection of sweatshirts. Gradually, younger brands joined in and decided to use street aesthetics in their collections, sincerely loved by street style fans.
A clear interest in the trends of the late 90s led to logomania in new shows from Missoni, Christian Dior and DKNY, which decided to rely on archival items. The dominant trend of 2017 was the use of your own logo, prominently placed in the most visible place of a dress, T-shirt or jumper, like Gucci, Chanel, Moschino, No.21 or DKNY.
Trend #9: Red + white + blue
Stylish tricolor from Gabriela Hearst, Sass+Bide, Dsquared, A. Marras, Osman The colors of the French tricolor are considered one of the most win-win summer combinations and refer us to the timeless nautical style. In the spring-summer 2017 season, the harmony of red, white and blue again found itself on the crest of a fashionable wave. Designers use this color block in literally everything - from bags and shoes to dresses, sweaters and suits.
Such things are completely self-sufficient, so they did not require any additional frills in the form of decorations or flashy fittings, as stated by Gabriela Hearst, Donna Karan, Sass + Bide, Valentino, Sonia Rykiel, A.F. Vandevorst, Antonio Marras and Osman. The main rule is well-chosen colors. Thus, cold shades of red prefer proximity to cobalt and blue, and warm ones require proximity to blue-violet.
Trend #10: Striped Print
Striped prints from Christian Siriano, Milly, Phillip Lim, Edun, Moschino It seems that modern fashion has used up all the original prints, forcing designers to turn to classic stripes. There are a great variety of such experiments - the stripes differ in color, width and orientation on the canvas. The trend is both longitudinal and transverse lines, monochrome and all shades of a wide range of colors.
One of the most iconic trends of 2017 was diagonally located stripes and a mix of multidirectional lines, as well as classic even stripes, located so as to visually elongate the figure. This trend is widely represented in shows from Christian Siriano, MSGM, Milly, Alberta Ferretti, Edun and Adam Lippes.
Trend No. 11: Tiered dresses and sundresses
Dresses in the collections of Giamba, Marchesa, Kate Spade, Sachin+Babi, Emanuel Ungaro In parallel with masculine military, designers presented a completely opposite trend. Feminine ruffles, numerous frills and exquisite lace have become the undisputed leader in the segment of dresses and skirts. Outfits from Giamba, Prabal Gurung, Gucci, Kate Spade New York, Burberry, Sachin&Babi, Moschino and Zac Posen are more reminiscent of multi-tiered cakes rather than traditional items of clothing, taking us back to the Victorian era, but at the same time maximizing the modern interpretation of this trend.
