One of the unifying trends this season( apart from bermuda shorts) has to be a burst of the neon colour palette. Bright, over-thetop neons could be spotted everywhere, right from simple cotton and polyester fabrics to heavier PVC, and gabardine materials.
The trend showcases vibrant, neon colours that are usually not worn together. Mostly paired with washed out, earthy tones or dark complementary colours such as black or grey, designers jumped on the happy bandwagon, unleashing a surge of popping bright excitement just in time for Spring 2019.
Blue and highlighter yellow emerged as the most common neons.
Denim Daze
Denim emerged as a winner in the silhouette space with an assortment of styles taking the lead. Harem styles, dungarees, cropped jackets, and trucker jackets, were the norm. Even lighter varieties such as the chambray, presented themselves over light wash shorts and dresses in anti-fit silhouettes.
Features, such as distressing and localised details, appeared on the front and back of jeans, whilst patch and repair effects such as rips and repair, and fraying techniques remained popular. Vintage washes, acid updates and extreme‘ negative’ colour effects, sat well against authentic mid blues, pale lilac cast blues and the growing trend of neutral palettes that offer a natural vegetable dyed look. www. apparelresources. com | AUGUST 1-15, 2018 | Apparel Online India 35
