Must-have international fashion trends 

Oversized stripes

Bold and oversized stripes are everything this season. A massive hit on the spring\summer runways around the world, such as the Christian Dior Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear collection, colours have become bolder and more daring. Navy? Red? Gold? Go for it! Oversized stripes are best paired up with a plain garments when going to work. By night, it can be paired up with bold and contrasting colours. Go big or go home.

Off-the-shoulder neckline

Off-the-shoulder detail is super-sexy. Unconventional sleeves and cut-out detail on off-the-shoulder tops and dresses has added a new dramatic twist to it. Feeling a bit self-conscious about your collarbone? Wear a statement necklace to cover it up. If you're not self-conscious, wear a subtle necklace. Going on a date or painting the town red? A subtle necklace and chunky arm candy will have you looking super-stylish. Off-the-shoulder necklines was a major favourite on international spring\summer 2016 runways. Designers Chloe, Giambattista Valli and Erdem Moralioglu aced the trend.

Slip dress

Daring enough to wear a slip dress? Dating back to the 1920s, the slip dress is sultry and playful. It is said to be one of the must-have times to invest in. Yes, fear not, It can be worn by day and night. Designers such as Burberry Prorsum, Emilio Pucci and Celine aced the trend at their 2016 spring fashion shows. Slip dress textures vary from traditional satin to see through chiffon. Low slip dress necklines are very popular on the runway. The slip dress can be paired up with bold or simple accessories. It is best worn with sandals or pumps.

Lace

Leading labels such as Topshop, Preen and Simone Rocha pulled out all the stops to ensure that the lace trend does not fade away on the runway. Givenchy on the other hand, brought back romantic floor-length lace. They've added a stylish twist to the romantic trend by combining it with sheer fabric.

Must-have local fashion trends
The head wrap                                     
                                                               

A wrapped head scarf is super-chic, regardless of how you prefer to wrap it up. It has become more than just a symbol of tradition, it's now a powerful fashion statement, which adds powerful feminine finishing detail to an ensemble. It's really fun and playful, as it can be dressed up or down. Popular styles are the bandanna, turbine, top knot, short tie back and full head wrap. Scarves to invest in are plain and bold colours, as well as printed and embellished scarves. No matter what the texture or size of your head wrap or how decide to wear it, you are shure to turn heads.

One colour ensemble


Sticking to one colour was previously considered to be basic. Today, if you do it right, you can pull it off in style. When wearing one colour, spice it up with chunky jewellery, such as a metal cuff and sparkly earrings or a statement embellished handbag or clutch bag. For extra pizazz, wear bold lipstick. An embellished stiletto or sandal is sure to glam up your ensemble instantly.

Statement arm candy

A bag was previously considered to be a basic accessory. Today, it's about more than that. It's about making a statement. Your handbag should speak for you. It could transform your ensemble from casual to chic instantly. From your oversized turnlock handbag, structured bag with metal detail, leather tote, fringed handbag, metallic sling bag to a sequin purse. It's also about reflecting your personality and telling the world you not afraid to push boundaries and stick to the norm. The fun part is that statement arm candy can be worn by day and night, depending on the occasion.

Oversized eye candy


Oversized sunglasses has added a new dimension to the average size sunglasses. It provides a sense of mystery to curious onlookers in the street. It can funk up any ensemble and can transform your ensemble from being the girl next door to celebrity. From your thick-rimmed sunglasses, round sunglasses to heart-shaped sunglasses, go for it. Wearing oversized eye candy also provides more protection from the sun. Make sure you fit sunglasses on before buying it and also make sure it fits the shape of your face.


Street Style

This LBD paired up with stockings and ankle boots is super-chic and makes this fashionista appear slimmer instantly. The vintage lace gloves adds the perfect amount of sophistication. No need for accessories. Blue lipstick is the ultimate bold lip accessory here. Not many can pull it off, but this fashionista aces it.



Love this yellow Ethiopia-inspired dress. It oozes boho-chic vibes. Bringing back the 90s in style, the jelly sandals is seriously cute and funky.



This fashionista makes looking good seem effortless. The shirt paired up with a vest and denim shorts makes it flirty, yet stylish. The round sunglasses is super-daring, along with her wearing only one earring and a chocker. Her hair tied up strategically shows off her accessories perfectly. Her black sling bag is super-sassy.



Doubling up on fringe is the way to go. The camel suede skirt and 60s inspired turtleneck top complements her body shape perfectly, along with embellished tan sandals. Her red braids adds the perfect pop of bright colour to this ensemble.



                                          The heart detail on this jumpsuit is super-funky paired with black takkies
.

The white shirt dress paired with navy leggings and brown ankle boots is super-trendy. The head wrap adds the perfect chic feminine touch. I love the fact that the ensemble is versatile, as it can be worn by day and night.



Here is proof that when you hit the streets, it is possible for a maxi stripe dress, to do all the talking. No need for fancy accessories. Less is more, definitely pays off with this look.



This sheer black top adds the right amount of sexiness to this loose fitting latex pants. The peak cap and white sneakers finishes off the look perfectly. Can someone say funky?


Dare to show some leg? This white dress with thigh-high slit detail is not for the faint-hearted fashionistas.



Popping power of purple speaks volumes in this high-neck maxi dress.The nipped in detail under her bust, along with the flowing pleats shows off her curves perfectly. Love the ear cuff.
