While a handful of the spring 2019 collections operate on the ‘see now buy now’ system, most of them we will have to wait until spring actually arrives. However, there is absolutely no harm in going through some of the most poignant yet real-life wearable looks that caught the attention of not only bloggers and fashionistas but also us mere mortals; looks that we can pull off on a daily basis, whether we want to look professional yet stunning at the office, date night, a casual lunch or even running errands. We all deserve to be on trend and on point, so let’s just cut to the chase and discover the looks that will make us shine in the season that can’t come soon enough.
A Burberry spring
Burberry has for a long time been known for its classic and timeless earthy pieces and sleek design that’s always in style. This year, even though the creative reigns have been given over to designer Riccardo Tisci, is not much different, aside from the fact that the pieces have become just a tad more modern and alluring to the younger audiences. One of the looks and there are 135 total, that is absolute spring perfection for almost any occasion, professional or personal, casual or polished is the one featuring a nude leather pencil skirt, which will be all the rage in the coming season, softened by a patterned bow-neckline blouse and a gorgeous embroidered jacket and open-toe nude brown pumps. As far as versatility and chicness go, very few outfits can trump this one, especially for spring.
Glam and vamp
Every now and then, a woman wants not only to look good but to stop traffic with her level of stunning-ness. When that is the case, a mixture of black, lace and satin is an unbeatable combination, and that is exactly what Tom Ford has brought us – the new little vamp black dress. You can choose to wear it alone or with a cozy and chic black coat that will serve as a ‘cover-up’ not only for the shifty weather but also for the concealment of the wow factor, because once that coat is off, and the dress is in full plan, you will definitely slay whoever you intend on sweeping off their feet. All hail the mighty black dress that’s always here to our rescue.
Upon close inspection
One show after another, there is one thing that seems to be a commonality among all designers and that is the emphasis on the almost bare flawless skin. Of course, supermodels are pampered all-year-round, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t follow the skincare trends and make our skin look and feel impeccable. All we really need is diligence and commitment to extensive, both morning and evening skincare routine, and most importantly, we need to determine the best skin regimen for our skin type and concerns, because without that, all our efforts will be fruitless. Therefore, take a good hard look at your skin, figure out what it needs and make sure you provide it for it, and once you choose the best products, stick with them like they’re your Holy Grail and you will have achieved the trendy supermodel skin.
The suit takes a breather
The power suit won’t be going anywhere so if you have one, or intend on purchasing one, worry not, you will still look astonishing and on trend. However, if you grow a bit tired of the classic suit and want to ‘casual things up’ a bit, take a cue from Chanel’s spring collection which, among many similar looks features what seem to be simple black tops and under-the-knee black leggings topped off by the brand’s signature jacket in poignant bright pink, this time in a slightly oversized version that still takes nothing away from its chicness. You can choose to rock this look with a designer bag and loafers or take a more relaxed route and opt for millennial pink sneakers and exude some seriously chic athleisure vibes. In either case, there is no chance you won’t be noticed, but in a good, couture yet approachable everyday way.
Let the face do the talking
Even though the impeccable skin is paramount, there is absolutely no need to leave it without a smidge of makeup, especially when there are so many new trends on the horizon. When you feel bold and experimental, adorn your lids in eyeshadows in single poignant and bright colors – a look that will definitely be rocked during those crazy clubbing nights. For those who prefer more traditional looks such a classic smoky eye, we have Kaia Gerber for Tom Ford as the perfect example. This look can be rocked at work, drinks, date night and even clubbing, so those of you who have always had a soft spot for it, carry on as you were. Make sure to incorporate some light strobing for healthy and luminous skin and leave the lips bare so the eyes pop even more. For those of you who love nothing more than their red lips, you are completely safe because everything from bright orange to deep burgundy has been spotted on the runways. Just keep the rest of the face clean – sheer foundation, a touch of mascara, the returning touch of the blush and you are good to go.
New beginnings
Burberry isn’t the only one with a new creative director. Wes Gordon has taken the burden and the honor of being the new creative director of Carolina Herrera, and he certainly did the former director proud. There are numerous looks we would all like to snag, but if we had to pick one, it would definitely be the one that represents a combination of school girl preppy and professional. Namely, the entire collection follows a similar theme, but we can’t help but picture thousands of women rocking appropriate checked miniskirts, bedazzled-collar shirts and almost ethereally beautiful blazers that are the same length as the skirts. The biggest selling point are the rims on the jacket in a contrasting color that bring even more vibrancy to the look, and we can’t wait to see woman of all ages and professions rocking it.
Keep your hair clean and tidy, sleek, polished, face well nurtured and outfits on point. Spring will come and you better welcome it in style.
