hese last seasons we’ve

been seeing trends that

seem not to go away

anytime soon even though we’ve had enough of them. That is the case for off the shoulders and the 'sport chic' vibe that took our closets by storm. Keep them for 2017, but remember to use them carefully. However, there are new additions to your style that you might want to check out. Bonorum et

BOLD STRIPES

Stripes are classic, but not always a trend. And as much as you may have some striped pieces in your closet, it’s always good to take a look at this trend because trust me, we haven’t seen stripes like these in a long, long time. This new trend comes with big bold stripes that will take over your wardrobe, which is the reason why you should choose simple accessories to pair them with. Go for the big kick: a colorful dress or a skirt, maybe with your favorite sneakers.

RUFFLES ALL THE WAYI told you, some of the last seasons’ trends will still be a big deal in 2017. Ruffles are one of those trends, but they seem to multiply for the spring, becoming the main feature in some of our favorite pieces: tops, skirts, even pants, and jackets. Like with the stripes, here is better to go big or go home. However, one of the best tips when it comes to wearing ruffles is to pay attention to the size of these. If you’re short, try small ones. If you’re tall, the big ones are for you. This is all so you don’t look like the fabric is swallowing you.

2017 TRENDS

Every year has its own thing. 2016 is definitely a year to forget when it comes to the world situation, and there’s more than one of us wishing this few days go away really quickly so we can put all that behind. And it happens the same way in the fashion industry, of course.

METALLICS

We’ve been always in love with gold, reaching the point where we would love to wear it head to toe. But metallic for the next year is different. Starting in fall 2016, our favorite colors started to turn into the metallic so they could become more jewelry like. That’s how we have ruby, emerald, sapphire and more. Of course, gold and silver are still going to be everyone’s favorites, but these other options are excellent for the ones who’d like to keep thing interesting and look like a million dollars with just putting on a top or skirt. Oh! And one more thing: this trend will help us defeat a cliche: just wear bright items at night. Try to incorporate these pieces and colors into your everyday wardrobe, the world will notice and you will feel like you’re part of the royalty.
