Staying Trending
Keleabetswe Narenti
Feeling good in what you are wearing is the best feeling
in the world and trending fashion items make it easy for
us to play around with different styles and materials to
make them suit each and every day and mood.
After basking in the summer trends 2014 and realizing
how expressive and challenging they are to one style.
It’s almost time to bid farewell to the bright flip-flops and
breezy cotton dresses and welcome the spring summer
2014-2015 trends.
The trends
Denim rocks
“Leggings are not pants and yes denim still exists.”
This summer we see a lot of denim vintage styles; you
can pull of this style by blending in any items of denim
together to make up an outfit adding a canvass boot or
sneaker will give you a more classic street look.
Flirting with Prints
We seeing a lot of bold African and tribal prints from
skirts, tops and head scarfs, these prints can be worn
with materials like denim and cotton. Nicely done head
raps complete a simple outfit. Ladies are rocking long

maxi skirts with tribal prints and coordinating them with
white, yellow and light brown tops. Floral or tribal prints
are making rounds this summer.
Lace n’ leather
The leather look has been revolutionised by celebrities
and designers like David Tlale and Gert Johan Coetzee,
by mixing you leathers with a bit of lace and soft materials like cotton, lace and polyester gives it a soft look and
take away the edgy rock star look. The leather and lace
gives it a more feminine and soft touch.
The colours
Colour block is still trending but with more warm settle
and warm tones of colours
For a more colour you can go for colours like lime, canary (yellow) tangerine (orange), orchard, bubblegum
blue and pink and anything coral
For a more neutral look you can go for colours like your
khaki, ivory, honey, cocoa, rust and grey.
Adding colour does not always have to be loud you can
tone down by always adding some black or whites to
your outfit.
Accessories

Beaded jewellery
Huge cuff bangles

Handbags, can never go wrong with one
