Trends
Looking forward to a long bank holiday weekend it’s time to start thinking about what I’m going to be doing, where I may be going and who am I going to see, and of course what I may be wearing when I do so!
I thought I’d visit some of the current must have trends that are doing the rounds at the moment, you may already be sporting the, you may not, if not then take a look and see if one takes your fancy.
Ripped jeans. Yes this style has come and go more than Tina Turner’s career but it’s now back with a vengeance and everyone including celebs are doing it. I myself own a customised pair as I write this. You can buy them pre-ripped pretty much everywhere now, in preparation for the summer months. Or if you’re very brave and un afraid of experimentation, do it yourself! It’s simple! Start by skagging the knee and thigh area (or wherever you choose, just be aware that flesh will be shown!) with a razor blade or sharp knife, put in the washing machine on a very high temperature and voila! You have yourself a distressed pair of jeans! No idea how it works but it does (we are not responsible for any damage to clothing or injury inflicted from use of blades).
Stripey t-shirts, yup! For those of you with a fear of stripes making your lumps and bumps appear larger, look away now because they’re back! Look in any store or at any fashion conscious celebrity and the horizontal stripe is a big presence at the moment. Check out GAP, H&M and more traditional casual retailers for this cute and inexpensive addition to your daily ensemble.
Checked shirts, yet again this eighties and nineties has reared its (sometimes) ugly head. For the summer boys there’s the short sleeved fitted shirts in all manner of bright and neon colours paired with a variety of small and large (and in some cases over the top huge!) checked designs. For the girls the lumber jack shirt is most definitely a high player, partnered with the jeans and casual jacket and prerquisite heals and you girls are fast on your way to becoming a high street fashionista.
Anyway, enough of my rambling observations. All in all the looks are coming back so those of us that saved those monstrosities from long ago, well done because you can just grab them from the drawer from whence they came and let them have the comeback they deserve!
