Autumn is burgeoning and embracing new heights of styles, textures, and inspiration. This time around, we take stirring insights from earlier trends, and carry them over to the present.

Here we have Zee’s Top Five Trends to look out for:

 

The Turtle Neck

Yes it is back and it’s looking more chic than ever! I know it isn’t the easiest style to pull off since it is not for everyone. However, with the right choice of fabrics, and proper pairing; a full skirt or a wild print, you will definitely have eyes gazing and heads turning.

 

 

Pleats Please

Pleated Black Maxi Skirt, Topshop, PHP 3,098, www.topshop.com

Accordion pleats, box pleats, knife pleats, these babies are staples! Pleats are at the fore this year and even more so in the next seasons. Wear it softly or with an edge and you’re all set.

 

 

The IT Pants


Wide Leg Pants continue to reign! Sophisticated yet relaxed, mid to high waist are what’s in-fashion. Balance it out with a slim-fitting top or a billowing blouse with a waist-cinching belt to complete the look. The objective is to look elongated; therefore, heels will definitely play to your advantage.

 

 

Sheer Factor

Sheer Neon Pink Button-Up, PHP 700, and Sheer Yellow Button-Up, PHP 700, all from Stitch In the City (+639228237346)

The emergence of this trend took many by surprise. Rarely seen in the streets, things changed, and fashion lovers embraced the new trend. Now we see more people sporting sheer maxis, skirts, and tops. It has captured the imagination of fashionistas all over the world!

 

 

Killer Heels

Double Padded Silver T Strap Sandal, PHP 3,500,  Double Padded Ankle Bootie L Shaped Heels, PHP 3,500, and  Double Padded Tiger Wedge-Platform, PHP 3,500, all from DAS (www.dasmyshoes.multiply.com)

Shoes add a whole lot of character to an ordinary outfit. They can either make or break your entire look. Shoe styles that are becoming relatively popular are platforms, wedges, and chunky heels!
