Fashion has spoken: this year will be dominated by a variety of natural, artistic, and curious looks, all the way from wardrobe and accessories to skin care and hairdos. Whether it’s a cool pair of designer sneakers, a colorful flowy dress, or a pair of odd earrings, the approaching summer is going to be a collection of raw, refreshing and rebellious.
The Boho Bloom
As one of those styles that never go out of fashion, bohemian beauty is at its very peak this season. Some of the world’s renowned brands such as Desigual, Tigerlily, Simone Camille or Raquel Allegra boast a diverse selection of wardrobe items and accessories that are a perfect basis for any boho fan. Inspired by Eastern Europe Bohemia and with some French influence, the modern bohemian-chic style revolves around freedom, creativity, and untamed beauty. That is why this year is also all about wild waves, elaborate loose braids and ornamented braids with inserted rings and cuffs. Jewelry designers follow with beaded layered necklaces, bold statement pieces with natural stones and unrefined shapes, to complement your entire look.
Go Natural
Although tattoos will always have their place in individual expression, this season shows a remarkably large number of people opting for clearing their skin. In fact, ink regret has skyrocketed in the past year or two around the globe, and Australia is no exception.
The growing popularity of tattoo removal in Sydney is a clear example of this year’s greater tendency towards a more natural appearance and a desire to literally wipe the slate clean. Painful but safe, effective laser tattoo removal requires several visits to a clinic that has experienced professionals, to ensure that the experience is as healthy and harmless as possible. This trend is also obvious in less drastic, but increasingly popular makeup-free styles that encourage you to boost your pure, unembellished look through natural skincare.
Artsy Patterns
Delicate stripes, enchanting flowers, and playful prints offer a versatile selection of original outfits that will enhance your authentic personality and perfect this season’s wardrobe. Combined with vividly colorful fabrics that allow for a breezy summer feel, these patterns are ideal for a casual midday walk and for an elegant evening out, especially when combined with the right footwear and hairstyles. Inspired by free art expression, this trend lets you create your own spring and summer palette of hues, shapes, and textures, with very little to no boundaries. The sky’s the limit as far as your imagination is concerned so you can explore even the most unexpected combinations of shades and patterns that will complement your persona.
Snazzy Streetwear
Talking about unexpected combinations – fashion has brought us some of the most daring ideas for this season through mixing a glamorous glow with basic street simplicity. Try matching your basic hoodie with futuristic-looking jewelry, a fancy fedora hat or your go-to high-heeled shoes. It takes some getting used to, but you will quickly learn to appreciate this refreshing trend. Sneakers come in many shapes and forms and they can be your favorite comfortable and statement footwear this year when you find a pair with a fun print, a glossy finish or raised heels. Actually, you will probably end up with more than one pair, as the supply of imaginative sneaker designs will be many on every corner.
Asymmetry and Geometry
Shoulder cut-outs, a single earring, sharp tinted sunglasses, uneven hairdos, shapely curls, they all have a special place in this year’s fashion preferences. Shorter flowy dresses with a single strap, combined with loose hair and ballet flats are a simple solution for your everyday casual coffee, while longer ones can be matched with the perfect stilettos and make for an evening outfit, just some eyeshadow away from fabulous. Jewelry and accessories this season will also flaunt a bold tendency towards prominent, eye-catching design and you will be able to pick from an endless selection of statement pieces that will go equally well with that evening gown and those torn jeans and a wild braid.
