Fashion Trends Fall/ Winter
2014-2015 were the subject of
our post last week. On it we talked about the four key elements to take into
account to consider when we buy fashionable clothes every season: the colors,
patterns, fabrics and key pieces. Now we will investigate the ways in which we
can combine these seasonal fashion garments, resulting in different styles for
women.
But first, as always in our trilogy, we must
understand what we are talking about: when it comes to style, we refer to the
image we project in terms of how we dress and behave. Each season, designers
mix clothing in different ways, proposing different "styles" of
women, which somehow also become trends to imitate fashionable consumers.
Being aware of the different styles of each season is
essential to know how to use fashion trends, and as we always suggest in AF Moda, we must study in detail these
styles, choosing that or those with whom we feel more identified, adapting our
wardrobe, our possibilities and our personal taste and our economic potential
to it. As we always say, in this fashion "not everything is for
everyone," and as consumers of fashion must be fully aware of it in order
to handle it in our favor.
That said, let´s analyze briefly the styles that will
be clue in these Fashion Trends Fall/
Winter 2014-2015:
MILITARY STYLE:
A repeated style of cold weather, which makes an interpretation
of the dress of the soldiers and militia "in fashion code". In this
style we can highlight the aviator jackets, coats and upper garments mimicking the
button fastening and cuts of military suits, khakis and green colors, high
boots, military print and gold details. A style for determined and strong
women, who want to show power without losing their femininity.
FOLK STYLE:
It is characterized by its bohemian and ethnic mood,
featuring lightweight fabrics, long skirts, furs, variety of boots, the ethnic
or tribal prints, and leather accessories. It is a style for women of free
spirit, which connect to the various cultures of the world and want to
communicate it on their dress.
MASCULIN STYLE:
Another style that always comes in cold weather, which
seeks to "feminize" the cut and the clothes of the men. We can
highlight the large or "oversize" coats, double breasted also, the straight
pants, neutral dresses, borsalin hat, the blazer, the pumps and also the
slippers. In a world dominated by men, this style is for functional women with
a strong character, but who never lose their femininity.
60'S STYLE:
A style that evokes rebellion and style of that time,
imitating its retro air. It is a style wherein contrast are important, for
example acid colors and hounds tooth print, very short skirts imitating Mary Quant and pencil skirts to the knee,
flats and high boots, dresses with geometric shapes, retro air shoes with width
heel, short coats and op art or geometric patterns, as well as details on vinyl
or plastic. It is a nostalgic style that mixes innocence and mischief, with a
nod to retro.
MINIMALIST STYLE:
As its name suggests, is a style where the dress is
brought to a minimum expression, avoiding the trimmings. It is sober, refined
and crisp. We can highlight the restrained and austere garments in blocks of
one color, and the clean and loose cuts. It has some remembrance to the fashion
of the nineties. It is a functional style for women seeking absolute neutrality
in their dress, and making of this a form of expression.
ASPEN STYLE:
It is inspired by the world of skiing, taking from it
garments chunky knit, trench coats belted at the waist, ponchos, fretwork
prints, mountaineering boots, the knitted caps, and generally the combination
of several layers of clothing. It is a sporty air style, but without losing its
point of glamor. It will help to combine it with basic neutral clothes so you
will not look overdone.
FANTASY STYLE:
It is a style that is inspired by the world of fairies,
nymphs and princesses, taking their romantic and sublime air and transmitting it
in sheer dresses, dream embroidery, floral prints, delicate accessories, use of
lace and transparencies, and all the visual universe of nature and butterflies.
A style totally for princesses of the XXI century!
SPORTY STYLE:
This style has become recurrent in recent seasons,
making reference to sports clothes, but taking it to the field of fashion.
Notable are the high-waisted trousers, sport shirts, baseball jackets, the
pleated skirts, the skaters shoes, satin sweaters, mini shorts, headphones and
sneakers in all its variations. A style for energetic and active women, who
have a fitness but glamorous spirit.
The wonderful thing about fashion is that always
offers us many opportunities to be the "Woman/Style" we want to be,
depending on our personality, the occasion, the place we go and our physical
type. In magazines and fashion blogs, you will find during all these months
many proposals relating to combine the Fashion
Trends Fall/ Winter 2014-2015, with many tips and advice to dress in these
styles. So we have to pay attention.
As usual, from
AF Moda we invite to play, to try
all styles and have fun with fashion, adapting them to your own vision and
resources. It´s all about exploring the many faces that can have our
personality and essence, and harness the potential that fashion trends offer us
for this.
In our next week post, and for the closing of our
trilogy, we'll make specific proposals for each type of morphology, with own outfits
that blend the Fashion Trends
Fall/Winter 2014, being the last part of our trilogy. So don´t miss our meeting!.
See you!
