Today my first post! As you've read in ''About me'', to find in the tab above, you'll already know that I've always been fascinated by the dynamics of the fashion world. These dynamics are expressed in trends, which continuously change. Most trends are coming back from the past and some trends are entirely new. For example: the stripes trend, whose origin is in Paris, created by none other of Coco Chanel. Or the neon trend, which was hotter than hot in the eightees and ninetees, makes now even two years his comeback! But the galaxy print, which was a resounding success at the beginning of this year, has in my opinion never been such a trend as now.
But by these dynamics, it can be quite confusing if a garment, an accessory or a pair of shoes is well in or out. Some pieces are ageless (the LBD, a pair of jeans, a leather jacket), some are often back in fashion (pieces with animal or stripes print, the lamberjack blouse or color blocking), and some are a type of impulse buying, which are in my opinion not bad at all to buy them (they are nice for the alternation, i just bought such a garment!). But dividing your wardrobe in this three types of purchases is very important to not hit the track through all trends and opportunities out there. This works well for me, because I like to go along with trends, but don't want that, after a half year, my wardrobe is full of clothes that I might not wear, because it's no longer in fashion or I don't like the trend at all. Therefore, following selected trends is very important (and not buying all those clothes that are in fashion, while they might not suit you).
Enough about that, spring is coming (even though it's still extremely cold here in the Netherlands), which means that new (or recurring) trends are ready! I made an overview of it and these five are my favorites:
Last spring were pastel colors not indispensable and this year it won't be different. You can wear pastel colors on all garments! Jackets, pants, tricots, shoes, purses, you name it! I find that the pastel has more effect, if you wear multiple garments with pastel tones. But in order to not too look like a sweet little girl, you need to combine your pastel pieces with a cooler jacket to break the cuteness. That's the reason why I love the look what she's wearing on the left, because of here brown leather jacket.
Every year, the black and white tones appear, but last show season it's never seen so massive. Marc Jacobshowed his ode for black and white with stripes and fashion houses as Chloé and Céline came with whole black and white silhouettes. The combinations with black and white elements are endless, but my favorite way to wear it is an black and white striped legging (I'll show them later off in an OOTD) with a black long sleeves (high-low) shirt or a white blazer with black pants.
This is a trend where we can no longer around it. Leather is for a number of years in the fashion picture and it's almost impossible to renounce! For this weather, it's nice to wear leather jackets or leggings (which I love), but when the temperatures will rise, leather is also then fine to wear! I should go for a high waisted leather short (in combination with a simple top) or a leather top of very thin material.
Flower print is hotter than hot this season! In the 1930s, designer Nina Ricci made her debut with this print. Through the decades, we've seen it coming back several times, but not that massive as now. And of course, by wearing floral garments, you may well express your desires to summer, and lucky for us, they're so trendy right now! My favorite way to apply this trend, is to wear a floral pants with a light blue denim blouse/vest or a flower printed co-ordinate.

Grunge, also called anti-fashion, was formed in the seventees, when women wore just too small dresses with below black army boots. Women were exactly the opposite of what they had supposed to be: rather than focus on success and femininity, they opposed the social rules. Now, the grunge trend is not applied to offer resistance, but to show that this style is absolutely fashion! Think about bleached denim, many layers, army boots, beanies, vintage jumpers: there are many possible items that can create a grunge look. Need inspiration?
