Streetwear Trend: (Take it) to the floor

Maxi dresses, maxi skirts; they’ve been around in fashion for a while now. But since fashion is always evolving even these maxi pieces are slowly changing. First it was all about the floral prints, then we only had eyes for the pleated skirts and now it’s all about showing some skin. Be fully on trend in a transparent maxi dress or a skirt with a high slit and don’t forget the hi-low trend, which is actually a mix of mini and maxi. Many of the streetstyle sensation in the gallery above master the art of revealing while keeping things classy. Other just look stylish, long and lean in their floor sweeping pieces. Unfortunately it’s not a very practical trend, but it sure makes a up for a beautiful image.

Streetwear Trend: Fasten your waistbelt

For the guys who are in touch with their feminine side or the lads who are man enough to handle it the accentuated waist is all the rage now. Trench coats, winter coats and even long sweaters now look their best when their ‘belted’. A small leather belt or just a tied robe will do the job.
But there are other ways to focus on the waist, of course. We shot some  hipster boys sporting high waisted jeans and bermudas (with their shirts tucked in) looking quite refreshing as well.

Not only on the streets, but on the catwalks too this waisted look was hot. Will you try it?

Streetwear Trend: Graphic Gallore

MiuMiu, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Versus all had the same kind of seventies suits in their fall collections. Suits with bright graphic prints that are now all over the place. Just like the bold and colorful ones Giambattista Valli presented on his runway. A look that takes some guts to pull off. Guts and a strong pair of shoes that keep everything in balance. Velvet ankle shoes perhaps? Or a pair of suede peep toe beauties? Just keep it strong and outspoken, ‘cause this just is not the trend for wall flowers.

Streetwear Trend: Touch Base

Every season sportswear is one of the big influences in fashion. And this year designers seemed inspired by baseball. The signature high school jackets not only popped up on the international runways (Alexander Wang, Dsquared, Opening Ceremony), there were as big a hit in the streets. Now of course you can go all preppy with the baseball jacket, yet the trick is to turn it into something grown up, feminine and surprising. Like pairing it with a little black dress or wearing it on top of a tight pencil skirt. Wear it oversize (steal your boyfriend’s) and show some leg to pull this sporty look off. Perhaps add one of those cool caps we’ve been seeing a lot? Looking sporty without hitting the gym. It’s so easy.

 

Streetwear Trend: Turtle Power!

Not able to choose between a turtle neck, a bow tie and a shirt? Just wear them all at once. According to our latest streetstyle shots it’s the latest trend. The best dressed street chic men wore thick colorful turtlenecks under their suits and overcoats. While those thin basic black (and even red) turtlenecks popped up from under fully buttoned shirts (Ermenegildo Zegna, Neil Barrett and Roberto Cavalli too introduced their version of the layered turtleneck + shirt look)Not a bad idea at all. Especially on those cold days when just a cotton shirt is not enough. It gives any look an instant sense of style and sophistication. So study our gallery and go try this trend for yourself!

 

Streetwear Trend: My beanie & me

During those cold winter days, who’s there to keep you warm and comfort you? It’s your beanie! Not only fashionable, but also quite functional. No wonder this knitted pieces of headgear seem to be everyone’s best friends. American Apparel is doing some goood business selling their beanies in every possible color. Yet a good old knitted one can be just as good looking. Even those big logos are back. So if you still kept that Nike or that Chicago Bulls beanie in the attack, go and get it while it’s hot. No worries about your hair and a instant streetwise upgrade to go.

Trend Fall/Winter 2012/2013: Screaming suits

Ever thought menswear was boring and men never have a lot of outfit options? Well, view this eclectic suit gallery. It proves even with good old suit there are so many ways of makes a statement. Go for vivid colors in a Moschino suit, bright and printed like Versace or maybe a pastel shaded version like the ones we spot at Cavalli and Van Beirendonck. Even during winter time you can opt for color. They brighten up those dark days a bit. Looking for ways to jazz up your suit or tux? Just add headbands, hats or sunglasses and take it to the next level.

Streetstyle Trend: Rise of the Oversize

Designers weren´t exactly thrifty with their fabrics this season. Huge, oversize pieces were presented onto the runway and made their way into the streets. Loose sweaters, coats and pants were all true streetstyle hits.
Now don´t think the ladies sporting this trend were size XXL themselves. No, the tiniest frames were hidden from under those creations. Skinny legs popped up from under those big coats and waists were accentuated in the wide legged pants.
Looking larger than life was never this cool. Plus, you´re chances of getting noticed in the streets are.. tripled!

Streetstyle Trend: 50 shades of burgundy

Just when you thought everyone was going for purple this fall, Burgundy seems to be autumn´s hit color #1. A huge trend, even more on the streets than on the catwalk, and it goes well with just about every style. Sportive, dramatic, minimalistic or posh; everyone is craving for Burgundy. We spotted models, bloggers, editors, photographers and designers in the color that seems to look good on everyone and anyone. Choose your favorite shade (there are at least fifty different tones) and wear it with class. Burgundy might just be this season´s black.

Streetstyle Trend: Take a Bowtie

You don´t have to wait for an invite to some fancy ball to put on your bow tie. You can easily rock the streets, the nearest supermarket or your Friday afternoon lounge cafe in it as well. Just have a little fun with ´em and choose casual designs to fit your easy going looks. Do it like these streetstyle lads and opt for stripes, dots or checks. Pair ´em up with a shirt and shorts and perhaps a woolen cardigan. No need for a suit jacket: you´ll even look top notch without it.
