Sometimes fashion week can be a little too much; over-the-top clothing, cartoon style make up and hair you wouldn’t be caught dead with, all take to the runway and celebrities, editors and on lookers love it! Are they crazy? No, not most of the time!
They just look at the collections with a different eye. Selecting key pieces and trends that are transferable to everyday life. They look at the show, as just that, a spectacular, that has the key (even if it is hard to find) to what we will be wearing this season.
Rescu. picked our top 5 favourite runway trends that are utterly gorgeous and realistic, for real life…
Great New Lengths At Karen Walker
Definitely not shorts, and not quite long pants, the ¾ trousers (and skirts) on display at Karen Walker are sure to be an A/W staple in the not so cold, Australian climate. A tomboy look, paired with loafers and a crisp blouse, this will be one for the office and every day.
Sheer has never been so sexy at Michael Kors
Popping up at more than one New York Fashion Week show, this trend is feminine and flexible. At Alexander Wang we saw half sheer, half fur sweaters and at Karen walker, cream sheer skirts. But, noting beats, this high neck, little black maxi, with ribbed knit waist and neck detail (pictured) from Michael Kors. We don’t all have to be as daring either, a slip or bandeau under this, would be a little more modest and still look great.
Big And Beautiful Hats At Marc Jacobs
Festival goers and Sunday session regulars will be rejoicing over the Akubra style hats at Marc Jacobs. Simple and chic, it isn’t as daring as the over sized floppy hats that we have favoured this summer. Its structure and colour; they appeared in dark brown, light brown, navy and black, make it perfect for everyday, protecting against the sun or the cold once the temperature drops.
Super Stylish Capes At Alexander Wang
We have all dreamt of being super heroes at one point and with Alexander Wang, this dream can come true. Always at the forefront of garment innovation, the capes on display, came in leather, silk, knit and fur varieties and were a cross between a poncho, dress and jumper. Sound confusing? Not for the faint hearted, this look is for a girl who likes to take risks and stand out from the crowd.
Pretty Pleats At Vera Wang
Pleats are no longer restricted to netball skirts and granny’s wardrobe. They are back in a big way, especially in the maxi variety. Uber chic and super feminine, (we just can’t get enough of the nude Vera Wang dress pictured) this trend is already taking off in real life. Our guess is, pleated floor length skirts in black, khaki, nude and floral will be a staple in every girls A/W wardrobe.
