It
is August, half of the year is already gone and by now, the fashion trends of
the year have been clearly established. From the runway to the red carpet,
inspired fashionistas in Nigeria have been rocking each season’s hottest
trends. In fact, some are already starting to upgrade their wardrobe for 2017.
The
truth is, learning about new styling ideas is what keeps the fashion wheel
spinning. Aside from all things hotel and travel, we at Jumia Travel like to
keep up with all the latest trends, and we keep a record of inspirational looks
from celebs and fashionistas alike. The 5 chic fashion trends below offer
descriptions of fresh silhouettes that every fashionista in Nigeria is rocking
now.
1.
Cold Shoulders
Off-the-shoulder styles were huge last year
and it looks like it is still going strong. However, designers seem to have
taken a creative spin on the trend by creating an upgrade which not only
exposes the shoulder but cuts out the stress that comes with the need to
constantly readjust the off-the-shoulder top. This new trend has been referred
to as “The cold shoulder trend”. Basically, the trend secures at the neck and
elegantly exposes your neckline and shoulders with ease. Most of the pieces
feature cutouts meant to highlight just the shoulder. The trend is so easy to
wear and universally flattering.
2.
Micro-pleats
It
appears micro-pleats are not just for school girls anymore! From retro styles
and plain old classic, the trend is everywhere now, from the catwalk to the red
carpet to the street. The attractiveness of pleats lies in the fact that the
style can express an elegant look as the unique feminine details make the body
look more beautiful and slimmer than any other clothes. Razor sharp and bang on
trend, the trend is on every fashionista’s list.
3.
Romantic Ruffles
Ruffles
are no longer old school or “church”, they are now presented as chic and sexy.
Fashionistas have been spotted wearing soft and loose ruffles, cascading in
tiers and falling in gathers. Whether in suede, silk, or raffia, let the fabric
dictate the shape of this ultra-feminine detail. Aside from the fact that this
trend ensures the wearer looks as though they belong in a modern day fairytale,
it has a way of making any piece look positively feminine and utterly delicate;
particularly when created from flimsy, swaying fabrics. The trend is definitely
a must-have for anyone with a predilection for luxury and drama.
4.
Voluminous sleeves
If
you have been wondering why the sleeves on celebrities and fashionistas have
been seemingly getting longer and bigger, relax, it’s not just you. It appears
designers have taken a stronghold of the voluminous and bell-sleeve silhouette
and fashionistas are going with it. A trend with an Old English spin, they are
fun, dramatic and perfect for making a fashion statement. Though there are
slight variations in structure and style, they are infinitely romantic.
5.
Chunky-heeled sandals
After
years of towering heel heights, Fashionistas in Nigeria seem to have deviated
to rocking Chunky block heels. The trend which makes the feet happy as they are
super comfortable is fresh right now. Whether in suede, printed snakeskin
paired with traditional batik fabric, polka dot or designed with studs, they
are the perfect way to make a statement too.
