Trend Report SS2018: If It Suits You

Forget those grey/back/tweed office proof, business chic suits. This summer you’re going all out, if it suits you. Bright colors, boxy shapes, strong shoulders, cinched waists; options are endless. Remember our catwalk trend report on colorful summer suits? Well this business meets casual trend has reached the streets too. Pair your summer suits with a sexy top or a turtle neck, with a classic cross body or a little waist bag, some Dolce & Gabbana heels or a pair of Balenciaga trainers. Whatever you do, have fun, don’t hold back, keep it cool and colorful.

 

Trend Report SS2018: Bring your bag

No matter the coolest chain, handles, rings or shoulder straps; you should be carrying your bag in your hand this season. Of course you can wrap or tie those chains around your hand or wrist, but make sure not to use any of it’s functionality. The most practical way to wear something simply just isn’t always the coolest way. So for that picture perfect don’t stuff it and carelessly hold it in your hand (or slightly push it against your hip. The midi bag (Valentino, Balenciaga, Balmain) serves this trend perfectly although Miu Miu, Valentino and Michael Kors proved it works with bigger (almost completely empty) bags too. Now try shopping 😉

 

Trend Report SS2018: Showstopping Streetstyle Sunnies (London)

If you thought last year’s Le Specs sunnies were a little odd, think again. This year’s sunglasses trend is even more statement making! Of course in our catwalk trend report we’ve discussed big & bold sunnies too. But we’re talking about those tiny glasses that are all over Instagram at the moment. To be honest we’re not sure if these glasses actually make anyone look better, but they simply and suddenly just are a trend, so we’re seeing them everywhere. Especially in London, during fashion week, the sharply shaped, bright colored glasses popped up on all the familiar streetstyle icons. Tiny and pointy is the style, although a little heartshaped pair of sunnies in the mix never hurts either. Sunny side up ladies!

We’ve enjoyed working with the Kingpins Amsterdam Team the past five years – it was a warm welcome in the crazy world of denim.

Trend Report SS2018: Kingsday

Kingsday is just around the corner. But before you start stacking up on ill-fitting orange T-shirts, shorts, cheap ass plastic caps, headbands and glasses, we’d like to give you a different idea on how to wear orange. You see, it doesn’t have to be bold and bright all over. As our favorite streetstyle stars have shown us recently just a jacket or coat can make enough of a color statement. And an all black outfit with a touch of tangerine works just as well. Want to celebrate the King’s birthday in the most subtle way? How about an orange colored pair of those arty ‘cat-eye’ glasses worn with a sharp looking on trend look. Queen Maxima will certainly approve. Chances are she is not even wearing orange the 27th.

Streetstyle Trend Report SS2018: Supporter Scarf

If we’d have to name the ultimate way to sport the logomania trend (besides that Gucci headband we saw this winter) it would be by joining in on the current soccer scarf hype. And yes, you can keep your Manchester, Real Madrid or AC Milan accessories at home. Vetements, Off White and other current trend should have their logo up there. As far as rules apply: the bolder, the better. Yet wear it with a careless attitude. Spring might have sprung, but there will still be those night where you’d wanna tuck in and wrap up against the cold. Now which fashion club are you supporting this season?

 

Backstage Trend Report SS2018: Summer in the City

Let’s take a step away from the catwalk and take a look behind the scenes. So we can focus on the details a little more. The fabrics, the embroideries, the accessories.

Trend Report SS2018: Sheer shoes

So we’ve talked plastic and see through fashion, now let’s talk of transparent and sheer shoes; another big trend! With mesh and plastic being the most used materials you really need to make sure you get that pedicure appointment done in time. From Alexander Wang and Balmain to Dior and Valentino proved next to nude shoes are a ‘thing’ for SS2018. The perfect detail to top off that mini skirt or downgrade that sexy dress. From sandals to pumps, to booties and boots; time to show off those perfectly colored toe nails. Or did you get cold feet?

Trend Report SS2018: Show stopping Shorts

A good skirt or dress can surely impresss, but this season the sex appeal of a good pair of shorts is getting some extra focus. Right-above-the-knee shorts as seen at Balmain and Chanel or ultra short like the ones we spotted at Chloé and Saint Laurent. Relaxing shorts (Alberta Ferretti), denim shorts (Coach), boyish shorts (Prada), sporty shorts (Louis Vuitton) and the absolute chicest shorts (Dries van Noten). With so many styles around, stating shorts aren’t your ‘thing’ is just not an option. From plain and comfy to luxurious and sparkly there’s a matching pair in store to match just about any clothing style. And let’s not forget the possibility it gives you to show of your stunner legs. Go shorty!
