SUMMER 2016 TOP 10 COLOURS

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

SEASON THEME #1

• Minimalism (Macro theme) Sleek design and simple understandable form – is the main determining minimalist style. It is not necessary to overload the image, there should be more clarity and definition lines. Combine them with solid or graphical things to create the actual image. Despite, its apparent simplicity, this style requires perfect execution of the entire image, and special attention to detail, hairstyle and makeup, too, must comply.

• Naturalness (Macro theme) Many designers have abandoned the luxury in favour of natural materials. For the creation of jewelleries and accessories were used fur, wood, leather, natural stones and minerals. Include in your everyday wardrobe earrings and bracelet of wood or woven bag, and you can add a little bit of southern sentiment in your image.

SEASON THEME #2

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

• Caramel (Macro theme) Pastel shades are relevant again. Lover of marshmallow combinations can enjoy all summer drawing in a gentle way. And the more muted colours in the dress, the more difficult and interesting. Do not forget about contrast – if you choose a sleek silhouette, tough shoes or bag, briefcase, then more will emphasize their femininity, subtlety of style and taste.

SEASON THEME #3

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

• Massive (Macro theme) Forget the invisible studs – they were replaced by large bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Megalomania in jewellery, more than ever relevant. Choose chain with large links, earrings in several tiers and massive clips. Materials may be different from precious metals to plastics. Petite girls should be careful with large decorations, better to bet on bright colours and unusual design.

SEASON THEME #4

• Yellow (Micro theme) The colour of the sun, one of the first associations in the summer and heat. This season, relevant almost all shades of yellow, from pale yellow to bright lemon – it is important to find one, that is right for you. You can safely put on the yellow from head to toe, but if you are not ready for such a bold decision, the colourful accents in the form of accessories – it’s a great way to give a touch of brightness to their everyday image and show that you are aware of fashion trends.

Thanks to Prada , Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana , in new summer shoes trends the clog trend now also be found on our roads .

The look from Alexandra Golovanoff ( 44 ) with beige sweater , knee-length skirt and matching colour bag makes the clogs even office-friendly .

A new trend catch increasingly more contour: snapback cap. The floral prints or cartoon characters no matter, just be creative and you will look very chic and trendy. The snapback became very popular when American baseball players adopted the cap as part of their uniforms in the 1950s. Then the 90s hit, and the snapback officially became a part of pop culture and popular fashion. At that time it was the beginning of the snapback cap rise.

LADIES SUMMER SUNGLASS’S

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

• Colours are the first things that you need when thinking of summer. And that couldn’t but find its reflection in the eyewear trends for spring 2015 forming some really catchy and noteworthy exemplars of stylish and fashionable sunglasses. For instance, check out the yellowish options from Acne Studios, the plum sporty glasses of Lacoste, or the bluish alternatives from Charlotte Ronson, both of which come with some really interesting and noteworthy combinations with the garments they are matched with. We are speaking both about the combos of styles and shapes and about the colour combinability. Such were the options suggested at the show of MSGM too, in case of which bright orange tones were the key of the looks.

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

1. BRIGHT SUNGLASSES

• The following trend we would like to note here is the one having been formed by the colourful frames and creative design solutions applied to the frames of the sunglasses. For instance, you can discover the all-black sunglasses with yellow and black patterns like it was in case of Dries Van Noten or the darker eyewear options from Charlotte Ronson, which also added a little bit of mystery to the image of the lady.

2. BRIGHT FRAMES

• However, if you are for the classics then there is nothing better than white-framed sunglasses for you. You can confidently pick one of the cool and creative white-framed sunglasses we saw among the fashion shows of very many designers, such as Kate Spade or Christian Siriano being the provider of one of the most spectacular and luxurious alternatives. Matching it with the sassy cat-eye forms and combining all with the sizzling white dresses the designers really managed to create some absolutely stunning looks. Erin Fetherston came up with a slightly different interpretation of the trend again creating classy and chic looks eventually, which were well noticeable due to the elegant forms and shapes that the pieces were generally adorned with.

3. CLASSIC WHITE FRAMES

• In addition, we should speak about the practical and comfy oversized sunglasses, which comfortably cover the eyes and the areas around them thus coming as beautiful and quite noteworthy alternatives for creating classic and feminine images, which will accentuate your personality and will make a perfect final touch for the rest of the stylish clothing combinations. In order to find inspiration you may have a look at the spring 2015 fashion collections of Roberto Cavalli, Moschino, Guy Laroche, Julien MacDonald and others, each of which managed to come up with something new, fresh, and creative. Especially cool were the shield sunglasses of Prabal Gurung, Suno’s and Matthew Williamson’s creative oversized eyewear options and the daisy patterned oversized sunglasses of Maison Martin Margiela.

4. OVERSIZED SUNGLASSES

• This is another spectacular and interesting comeback we noted for the coming season marking the renovation of absolutely glamorous and chic pieces being the retro styles of sunglasses. It looks like the style of the feminine and glamorous ladies of those times has been put in a totally fresh and cool way here, presenting experimental shapes, oversized motives and, of course, stylish and fresh design interpretations. Such were the retro sunglasses from such fashion houses as Temperley London, Emilio Pucci, Stella Jean, Gucci, Valentino, and Chanel, as well as Bibhu Mohapatra and Derek Lam with the tea tones of the glasses.

5. RETRO ‘60S AND ‘70S SUNGLASSES

• Oval sunglasses form the following catchy spring 2015 eyewear trend we would like to note, focusing on the peculiar and quite creative design interpretations and looks, which are all united in the general group of retro-inspired yet absolutely stylish and cool oval eyewear options. This is what we spotted during the fashion show of Dries Van Noten that came up with the combo of yellow and black tones, Burberry with the frameless reddish options, Rochas with the classic forms of both frames and the glasses putting all in dark tones, Nicole Miller and many others.

6. OVAL SUNGLASSES

• Colourful is not enough to describe the trend we are going to present now. In fact, what makes this trend so unique is the difference of tones selected for each glass out of the two. To put the thing more clearly we may discuss the example of red and blue glasses for the same white-framed sunglasses by Rebecca Minkoff, in case of which the resemblance of these pieces with the traditional 3D glasses was unavoidable. However, this is a unique and quite spectacular solution for fresh looks and you can give it a try if you are bold enough. Colourful were also the glasses at Nina Ricci, Preen and others.

Maximum impressive!

7. COLOURFUL GLASSES

• Squared forms of sunglasses form the following trend we would like to note, talking about the most diverse and creative interpretations that these looks could ever acquire. For instance, we may speak about the diversified interpretations from Prada coming adorned with some wood and leather accents for the tea toned glasses and the nicely designed frames, Salvatore Ferragamo with the animal-print resembling hints for the mirrored sunglasses presented, Giorgio Armani with the cool duo of matte toned frames and dark glasses, or Kenzo with the frameless transparent blue sporty alternatives with some neo-modern touches embedded in the look. We especially loved the square sunglasses of Tommy Hilfiger.

8. SQUARE SUNGLASSES

• Apart from square, other geometrical solutions were also present for the shows, rounded forms being one of the most noteworthy options here. Thus, along with the retro inspired rounded options here we also have the modern interpretations with the diversified designs of the frames, the curious combinations with the tones of the glasses, and much more. That’s what we may note about speaking of the option suggested by Emporio Armani coming with the darker toned glasses and narrower frames, Versace with the brownish accents and the oversized looks, Roberto Cavalli with the half-framed ombre toned options, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and many others.

9. ROUND SUNGLASSES

• The tendency of framing only one half of the glasses or leaving a gap between the two lines of frames going above and below the glasses is another quite fresh and new direction for the spring/ summer 2015 eyewear trends. Some incredible alternatives of the trend can be the reddish lower framed sunglasses from Miu Miu, followed by the interesting suggestions from Roberto Cavalli, as well as the curious rounded forms from 3.1 Phillip Lim, the youthful models from Opening Ceremony, and the creative solutions from Rodarte, Stella Jean and others.

10. SEMI-RIMLESS SUNGLASSES

• #11: Ombre Effect Sunglasses Ombre effect seems to never leave the runways always coming back with some new and really catchy interpretations, involving new shades and new design solutions and always combining that with a new form of sunglasses. So you may have a look at the collections of Viktor & Rolf to discover the purplish ombre with the light purple frames, Roberto Cavalli, where the darker shaded ombre was presented, and Miu Miu, which stunned with the reverse ombre going lighter from bottom to top.

PUMP SHOE

• Going even more experimental and creative the designers decided to come up with some crazy and at the same time glam looks at times even reaching the extent of leaving the sunglasses actually without glasses at all, focusing on the glittery frames surrounding the space of the glasses and inventing nice new shapes for them. This was the case of Chanel, which had created the glasses exactly this way. Interesting was also the option from Jeremy Scott bearing a hippie style, adorned with more massive glittery rhinestones for ultra-glam looks. On the other hand, Oscar de la Renta showed a more subtle and feminine version of the trend, bringing classy glasses with delicately embellished frames.

12. GLITTERY FRAMES

• To be the sexy feline of the season, you’ll certainly love to experiment with this eyewear trend, as cat-eye sunglasses are the most fabulous accessories capable of granting your looks with a high dose of mystery and glamour. Butterfly and cat-eye sunglasses were the says of Michael Kors, where we spotted a more retro version of the style, Matthew Williamson, where butterfly shapes met oversized motifs, Thomas Tait, where the delicate uber-transparent designs of the sunglasses instantly caught the eye, and Fendi, in case of which we saw sharp geometric silhouettes.

13. BUTTERFLY AND CAT-EYE SUNGLASSES

• When it comes to styles adorned with modern sporty allure, nothing can ever compete with the traditional aviator sunglasses. It’s no surprise that each season eyewear trends bring this already timeless and classic style, each time spicing it up with innovative vibes. This season, we especially love the mirrored aviator sunglasses of Christian Dior and Acne Studios, the unique versions of the style by Valentino and the slightly rounded retro aviator designs of Felder Felder.

Compiled by Kerry Hildyard

14. AVIATOR SUNGLASSES

• Still, if making a big fashion statement and standing out in the crowd is your aim, you can go for any of those extravagant and unique eyewear styles that popular fashion houses presented for the new season. Funny were the Barbie-inspired sunglasses of Moschino and the colourfully beaded designs of Libertine. For the modern sporty look, you can opt for those rounded sunglasses of Nicholas K, the shield glasses of Kenzo or the interesting eyewear + headwear options from Chalayan. Prada’s interesting wooden and leather sunglasses are also maximum impressive!
