Runway to Reality: Fashion Trends for Summer 2017
June 9, 2017
Statement Sleeves
Sleeves as a focal point had a few decade hiatus from the fashion world and now they are back and bolder than ever. Spring/Summer runway shows of 2017 showcased plenty of variations of this newest trend. Many of these looks may be fierce for the runway, but could be construed as hard to pull off in day to day life. These high fashion looks have of course come with the onset of their more affordable and more manageable counterparts to rock this summer trend.
Mesh/Sheer
Mesh tops and dresses have been a hit as the weather starts to heat up. It’s easy to see why… the natural breathability and the style encompassed in one make them a sure summer favorite. Off the runway try using it to cover up your bathing suit, to make an athletic look more chic, or to your favorite summer concert.
Oversized Trousers
Flowy pants were big (literally) during the summers past, but coming on the scene this summer are the oversized trousers. This twist on the classic trouser can instantly make any outfit look dressier. In addition, the comfort is unbeatable in this big summer hit.
“Flashdance” Inspired One Shoulder Tops
First it was the cold shoulder and now the off the shoulder tops. Get one step ahead with the “what’s old is new” top with a one shoulder top. Flashdance is leaving its mark today with the legacy of the one shoulder top. Bring back the trend this summer in a variety of colors and patterns.
Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits are hitting the scene following the emergence of the romper. Jumpsuits make an easy outfit look chic without the hassle of picking out a full outfit. Go for a more casual look with a bohemian flowy jumpsuit or go for a dressier look perfect for a night out or even a summer wedding.
Yellow
Show your love for summer by reflecting the sunshine in your fashion. Yellow appears to be making a big splash on the runway for Summer 2017. Make a statement by standing out in a crowd in this vibrant color choice. It is sure to complement your summer tan.
