Fashion Trends 2013

Fashion is commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. A fashion remains popular for the period of time that a large segment of society accepts it; that could be for a few months or years. However, it is normal for the fashion trends to change according to the seasons. For instance, during summers the common colors worn are the pastel shades and lighter fabric. Come winter and the preferred color ranges are the darker and brighter ones and the fabric is heavier. 
Fashion is something we deal with everyday. And one thing certain in the fashion world is change. The collections in Paris, New York and Milan, and now London, typically set the stage for the industry one-year in advance. Fashion stylists too get new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, television and even movies. Even the street is the real barometer of style. More and more designers are drawing their inspiration from life on the street. If a particular clothing or accessory is depicted by famous personalities, it definitely becomes a trend for the people to follow the same. Films have become catalogs and people are copying from the particular style of actors and icons.
What we wear and how and when we wear it, depicts our personality for changing situations. It is from the clothes a person wears that we get our first impression of personality. They provide mental clues to a person`s status and occupational role, as well as being a means of conforming to peer group expectations. Fashion is important to us because it`s a means of self-expression. It helps to identify ourselves with a group of others like us--whether it`s a lifestyle, a religion, a profession, or an attitude.

Summer Trends:

As the summer season is at its peak it's time to start thinking about the warm summer months. Thankfully, many of the trends that were in style for spring are still going to be in full force through the fall -- all it takes is a little modifying. If you want to give the luxe leather trend a go, make sure you try the material in a mini skirt or a tank top. Instead of sporting overalls, why not opt for a pair of shortfalls to let your legs breathe while the temps rise?
To celebrate the start of summer, I've compiled a list of the top ten trends of the season. It's never been so easy to be in fashion! Happy summer everyone.

 

 

Leather

Leather might seem contradictory in the summer, but this luxe fabric will make any outfit look expensive (just make sure you don't go head to toe in the material).

 

 

 

 

Power Clashing

The trick to wearing mismatched prints is to make sure the sizes of the patterns are different so the clashing looks intentional. 

 

 

 

 

Overalls

Overalls aren't just for kids anymore. They have been seen all over the runways, and the latest take on the jumpsuit is the easiest (and most comfortable) piece for summer.

Holographic Clothes & Accessories

If your accessory blinds you, then you've got it right. Anything mirrored and shiny is perfect for the warmer months. 

 
 

 

 

Bold Stripes

Stripes are always in fashion, but this year try something bold a prison uniform.

 

 

 

Midi Skirts

Forget maxi skirts, this season is all about the midi skirt. This new, slightly shorter length is perfect to wear around the office.

Crop Tops

This '90s trend is out in full force this season -- if you dare to try this bold look we suggest you pair it with loose fitting bottoms. 

Sporty Clothing

Even if you're not headed to the gym, throw on a sporty dress or a pair of sneakers this season. Not only is this trend comfortable but your mesh garments won't require dry cleaning.

Pastels

Toss your black suits and grey sweaters, it's all about light, soft colors.
