Top trends for Winter 2015/2016

Divided mainly between four major style trends – Rock, 90s, Preppy and 70s, the top trends for winter 2015/2016 are all set to pep up dull, cold evenings. From classic winter trends like layering and boots to crossover summer trends like pleats and khaki, here are the top 10 trends for this season.

Print on Print

While all over prints will continue to rock throughout the winter, the key trend is prints mixed with other prints in the same outfit. The Burberry Prorsum runway was filled with a mix of florals over camo. Pretty much anything

Winter Whites

White promises to be present in every part of your wardrobe.  It is paired with camel accessories, as with Victoria Beckham, and even with ivory, like Nina Ricci.

Rich and Luxe Fabrics

Seen on more than one runways, velvet is key trend to take note of, for winter 2015-16. Go for an all-over look with suit pants or coveralls like at the Sonia Rykiel show or for inserts as in Christopher Kane. It also looks beautiful combined with satin (Balmain) and in crimson (Emilio Pucci).

Silk and sation are two other fabrics that will be seen everywhere this winter.

Khaki

bootiesKhaki continues to stay in trend even after summer. The hues change slightly with the most popular shades being army  green and bronze. Less flashier than gold, it is worn all over, like H & M, or paired with black.
Booties
Booties are the new winter boots. From plexiglass square heels by Dior and Roberto Cavalli to velvet booties by Dries Van Noten and tapestry versions by Stella McCartney, booties are at their peak this season.

Outerwear Trends

The classic peacoat made a comeback on the runway. While it retained the sailors look at Michael Kors  Tommy Hilfiger  added preppy stripes to give them a more sporty while Saint Laurent made them rock chic by using leather.

Fringes

Fringes remain in the spotlight for another season but the look is less folk and more refined.  From  being superimposed at JW Anderson and at the wrists at Nina Ricci, they have come a long way from their original boho look.

Flowing Dresses

pleatsAnother trend from summer, dresses and skirts are going to be long and flowy.   Not just that, they will also be floral, pastel and in plain chiffon fabrics.

Pleats

Summer trends continue to star this season too. Lacoste, Balmain and Roberto Cavalli used a lot of pleats in their skirts and dresses and you are sure to see them a lot this season

Layering

Vests, shirts, sweaters, dresses, pants … you can keep multiplying the layers this winter. Pairing flowing tops with tight bottoms is very much in.
