With back-to-school just around the corner, shopping for the newest looks can be a challenge. Having an idea of what to look for helps, along with knowing your little girl’s style. For fall/winter, 2017/2018, WeConnect offers some key trends that will influence girls’ looks in fashion, footwear, jewelry and eyewear.
Explore luxury looks that re-examine and redefine your style this season. Think about old-world charm merging with modern boldness. The look is humorous, quirky and unexpected. There are wool capes that feature a cartoonish bow. Find a bold message that pops out on a preppy sweater. The brocaded blazer looks great with jeans. Girls who favor these looks often dress to impress. Their combinations will be off-centered, yet casual. There will be dressy pieces that play with patterns and colors.
All of the styles are reminiscent of girls visiting their mother’s closet. Remember the game, “let’s play dress-up?” There are lots of pretty prints, patterns and great graphics. Pick design details that include insect appliques, mix-and-match appliques, beaded flowers, magical appliques, novelty charms, cartoonish trompe l’oeil, clusters of bits and bobbles, felt bows, intricate beading and plastic tassels.
In women’s clothing, an indie folk look has emerged. It’s all about the new bohemian woman. The look is sophisticated with an alluring Gypsy spirit. Here, you can pair tailored with more fluid and relaxed styles. Mix white pieces with a little color. There are paisley prints and florals in this group that look good when they are mixed and matched. For a simple accessory add-on, there is a love for scarves that can flow from your belt to your bag. Scarves soften the silhouette. Layering rich pieces and tactile pieces remains important. In patterned and graphic details, there are scarf add-ons, layered fringe, contrast stitching, metallic trim, multi-colored tassels, cap toes, black and white appliques and frayed edges.
In footwear, look for high-heeled sandals with stacked heels, Ghillie strap pumps with tasseled ankle straps, Mary Jane high heels with contras cap toe. In handbags, the belt bag is back. The short shoulder strap bag and the cross body bags are in style. Eyewear shapes that include circular, updated aviators and cat-eye shapes are news.
