Stock up on apple-green pieces, as Pantone named Greenery the Color of the Year 2017. It's perfect for wardrobes and home decor alike. For styling ideas and the color's deeper meaning, check my article 'Greenery fashion color 2017 Pantone'.
Shoulder pads, an '80s staple, return bigger and bolder for Spring 2017. Square-shouldered suits dominated Paris Fashion Week runways—the bolder, the better.
Pink reigns supreme this spring in every shade: neon, baby pink, light pink, or fuchsia. Designers catered to all tastes, making it versatile and fresh.
Go bold with striking stripes in red, blue, black, and white—a nod to the '80s. Pro tip: vertical stripes elongate, while horizontal ones widen.
Make a statement with slogan tees and graphic prints dominating Spring 2017. From feminist messages to personal philosophies, pair them with chic jackets for that fashionista edge.
Ditch the beach-only rule: swimsuits and bikinis transition to street style. Try a one-piece with trousers or a bikini under an open blouse.
Layer lingerie under sheer outerwear for impact, as seen on the runways. While eye-catching, this trend may not suit everyone.
From clinical white to ivory and off-white, neutrals get a stylish twist with pouf sleeves and bold accessories like standout shoes.
Embrace utilitarian-inspired oversized looks: big pockets, wide trousers, XL overalls in green and brown tones.
Raid the '80s archives for ruffles, puff sleeves, and over-the-top details. Think Dynasty 2.0—pure glamour.
Floral prints evoke spring's charm, refined and versatile for any occasion—far from hippie stereotypes.
Shine bright with sequins, glitter, and embellishments for party perfection. '80s influences add elegance to the sparkle.
Athletic styles linger with trendy updates, though this may be their final season in the spotlight.
