Trends in fashion in 2018 are new and exciting for women. Runway looks range from almost ordinary yet interesting to somewhat bizarre. If you want to keep up with the seasons style it may be best for your unique palate to have a taste of what's in store for fashion this year.
Cosy Knits
That shawl or knitted sweater may not just be for comfort anymore. Cosy knits are making a stylish comeback. No longer dull or only for the rocking chair, the style on the runway features saggy, baggy wool sweaters and fringe reimagined in a whole new way.
Polka Dots
The fad for 2018 is black and white polka dots. It seems as though the polka dot can never be dressed down. Cute and girly spots stand out or fade into the background with the addition of muted frills. Maybe polka dots on a swing dress fits you. No matter what they almost never go unnoticed.
Prints from Outer Space
Science and technology seem to be overtaking the future. This may include the fashion world. A sleeveless black dress with white astronauts seeming to float on its flowy galaxy paired with sparkly silver boots? A double denim piece with silver studs. These unconventional outfits are 60's style and provoke futuristic thoughts. The space age could be slowly taking over every aspect of the universe.
Pretty in Plastic
Plastic, see-through raincoats are the thing in 2018. Try wearing blocks of bright colors like orange, yellow or bright pink underneath for a striking effect. Plastic provides a new kind of pretty now.
The 1920's Are Back
White ostrich feathers made an impression by bringing the Roaring 20's back. Beautiful feathered dresses embroider and cling to the body. Coats of the big bird variety look better on models than the Sesame Street character. Fringes and sequins are the style to embrace while you can in winter 2017. Prada, Giorgio Armani and Alexander McQueen are a few notable designers to watch.
Folksy Goes Untraditional
Hipsters and new age types have a chance to come back with the folk look. Mix and match with colorful, fringed, long skirts and a long-sleeved jacket. The runway throws yellow socks with long, hippy-style hair. Or go sleeveless in a dress with matching folksy-inspired shoes with heels. Folksy traditions made modern at the moment. Fashion designers are now utilizing their skills to make a difference.
Fashion with Words
Express your views with bold lettering plastered across your top half. The protest officially began with slogans showing blatant messages. One said,"I Am An Immigrant" while another shouted,"People Are People". Paired with a pink skirt this message on a black t-shirt made a clear statement. "We Are All Human Beings" was plastered casually on a blue, long-sleeved top. A powerful and genuine way to show emotion without speaking. Fashion with a different kind of beauty coming from the inside that speaks to everyone. It could stir almost anyone to want to take action in a cruel world.
Art-Inspired
Art is often misunderstood and this sometimes comes out in fashion sense. The runway gives this a whole new twist with dresses and skirts that have the appearance of an abstract painting. Upon observation, the pieces look out of place. One woman looks like she came from the Mona Lisa era with her dark, parted hair, striped dress and work boots. Someone may have gone wild with the scissors while styling a woman's buttoned top.
Style may not always be conventionally beautiful in the modern world but gains a new meaning with the messages conveyed. It says that sometimes looks can be deceiving or plainly but proudly show an individual's true colors. Its when fashion doesn't make a statement that it can disappoint.
