Plaid Party
What?
Plaid was a big deal for Fall and winter 2018, as the various types made their way down the runway in every form. From coats to blouses, pants to skirts, every garment was saturated.

Colors for this season include classic red, burnt summer yellow, purple, and gray checks. Plaid this season can be seen in whole skirt and blazer sets, patchwork shorts or bustier type tops. You can even swap a plaid button-down for one
with tartan shoulder trimming. Plaid tartan and check give ample choice of colors, patterns, fabrics and styles to choose from proving that this trend can flourish even in warmer months of the year.

Wide Leg Pal
looza
What?
One of the key items seen for Spring 2018 specifically are wide leg pants. After years and years of skin tight pants dominating the market, pants are now following a wider and more voluminous silhouette. Long women’s trousers cute with a loose, extreemly wide leg that flares our from the waist. Usually created in the flowing fabrics that are breathable in hot weather. Wide leg pants or palazzo pants first became a popular trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The style was reminiscent of the widelegged cuffed trousers worn by some women fond of avant-garde fashions in the 1930s and 1940s, particularly actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. These style of pants are a great way to give a little taste of the 70s coming back as a style. These silhouettes were first seen with the culotte
style that everyone was wearing this past summer. Lately the fabrics are becoming more structured which completely changes the look. Denim is also a popular fabric used to make this style more casual and give it a more street style vibe. An easy way to style these is by pairing them with a slim top to offset the wide silhouette of the pants. Also a differentiation in length is coming into play. Some pant styles are more cropped and others are floor length. Many designers from different price points are all jumping onto this trend and creating pants in a wider silhouette.
