Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body, or furniture. Fashion is a distinctive and often constant trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behaviour and the newest creations of textile designers. Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the term “fashion”,
The Use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while “fashion” generally means clothing, including the study of it. although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynour.
8 Fashion Trends to Look Forward to in 2017 Off-the-shoulder tops and velvet everything may have dominated our closets this year, but what can we expect in 2017? Here is your complete guide to the top fashion trends we’ll be indulging in next year. 1. Pink Will Reign Supreme While pink has certainly made its presence known among our favorite beauty products and accessories this year, we’re willing to bet that the bubblegum shade will continue to reign supreme in 2017. 2. Activist Chic Wondering what to wear to the Women’s March in D.C. next month? A slew of designers have you covered. Slogan tops with empowering messages were all the rage on the spring 2017 runway. Designer Stella McCartney, best known for her sustainable ethics, sent down versions that read “Girls Thanks, and No Fur, No Leather,” while Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri received praise for her “We Should All Be Feminists” tee. 3. “It” Cases Are the Next “It” Bags Why lug around a heavy tote when you can just carry your handy dandy cell phone? Next year, we’re all for streamlining our daily essentials. 4. Reach for New Heights Don’t get us wrong, we love the comfort of sneakers, but it’s time for a new footwear style to take over our shoe closet. For 2017, designers are proposing sky-high platforms, like Proenza Schouler’s spotted sandals and Gucci’s lofty loafers embellished with studs.
5. Statement Earrings Are Still Going Strong Why mess with success? Statement earrings have been a favorite of the fashion set and partygoers this year, and it seems the trend will continue to dominate in 2017. 6. Stripes Galore Who doesn’t love stripes? Fashion’s favorite print is timeless and totally wearable. Next year, get ready to see stripes in all sizes and colors on everything from chunky sweaters to knit dresses and oversize shirts. 7. Strong Shoulders Next year, get ready to cover up in voluminous sleeves and architectural shoulder pads reminiscent of the ‘80s. Balenciaga, Jacquemus (shown here), and Saint Laurent sent various options down the runway for spring 2017, marking the end of this year’s much beloved (and overdone) off-the-shoulder silhouette. 8. Ugly Shoes Are Making a Comeback A trend we never thought will see the light of day: Crocs, the footwear of choice for nurses and chefs around the world, finally got a sartorial makeover thanks to Christopher Kane. The designer introduced bedazzled versions of the homely shoes, inciting a wave of shock and fascination among the fashion set.
