1. Bold Colors:

  Think highlighter yellow and hot pink. Especially neon yellows which are set to be one of the hottest hues next summer.  This trend is definitely for all the daring hirls out there.

  Spotted at: Prada, Versace, Halpern, Valentino.

2. Micro/Mini Skirts:

  Micro skirts are all the rage in the upcoming season. Inspired by 90's supermodels and the 1960's where mini skirts first took its popularity.

3.Big Bags:

  Remember how micro bags were the hottest item, now it's the complete opposite. Ultra big bags are in for Spring with various finishes and textures.

4. Super Sheer:

  Sheer fabrics can be layered with blazers and jackets to be more wearable. Think fabrics like tulle, mesh and organza.

5. Underwear as Outerwear:

  This trend have already paved its way the past year. Can be layered with open blazers, waistcoats, shirts, or on top of white shirts for more of a modest look.

  Spotted at: Tom Ford, Fendi, Coach, Michael Kors, Ganni.

6. Fresh and Clean (All White):

  Spotted at: COS, Erdem, Sandy Liang, Rejina Pyo..

9. Low waist:

  The return of the 2000's is here with low waist and mini skirts. To be honest I don't think this trend works for everyone,  as it's not the most flattering and comfortable.

10. Cutouts and Straps:

  Strapped accents have been gaining popularity recently as well as cut outs. It can appear as top with multi-straps, waistbands, crisscross..
