Fashion trends spring-summer 2014 are a complete lack of boundaries between the two seasons: spring and summer are almost mixed with autumn and winter. And now in collections for sunny days, you can easily see warm sweaters and even fur coats.

What is this connected with? A massive whim of designers? Rather, this is a consequence of global climate change, which is reflected in the fashion world. Check out our selection, you might like it.

Trend - open belly

In the summer collections shown at New York and London Fashion Weeks, the almost forgotten crop top is quite common. Are exposed bellies back in fashion? At least that's what they think: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Balenciaga, Rebecca Taylor and Alexander Wang.

And Michael Kors is absolutely sure of this, whose luxurious collection is replete with models that gracefully expose this part of the body.

On a naked body - fashion trend of summer 2014

Romantic seventies, stable heels and wide-brimmed hats, loose fit and jackets worn directly on the naked body. Freedom of female sexuality and confidence in the future. Paul Smith was clearly inspired by all of this. Appreciate all the chic fashion trends of summer 2014.

Entertaining inscriptions

Inscriptions on clothes: with the names of cities, your favorite sports team, or just a couple of sonorous words, are in great fashion today! But DKNY didn’t limit themselves to some banal phrase, but immediately printed all the clothes with their logo.

In the same spirit, but not so radically, the designers of fashion houses acted: Paul & Joe, Moschino and Alexander Wang.

Perfect white

White is the most perfect color for a hot summer day. Flawless and light, it evokes a feeling of peace and tranquility. Moreover, it reliably protects from scorching sun rays. In the photo: Lisa Perry, Derek Lam and Alexander Wang.

Designers of fashion houses also think: BCBG Max Azria, Creatures of Comfort and Diane von Furstenberg.

Fashionable red

Red is the most versatile color that will suit any woman with any hair color. A favorite classic, without which it is difficult to imagine a modern wardrobe. An outfit of this color is beautiful both during the day and at a party. We were shown interesting solutions in this color scheme: a dress made of red plastic from Saint Laurent, summer fur from Fendi and nail polish from Dolce & Gabbana.

Flowers in black and white

Black and white is a classic combination that is always in fashion. It is perfect for casual and evening fashion. It also looks great on floral prints. It is worth noting that the floral theme has been extremely popular on the catwalk for several seasons in a row. However, in black and white, flowers look new, bright and romantic. In the photo: Ralph Lauren, Giambattista Valli and Oscar de la Renta.

Cloud blouse - a bright summer fashion trend

The cloud blouse deservedly takes the most honorable place on the podium. After all, it is feminine and luxurious. The most daring and interesting models, in our opinion, were shown by: Christian Dior, Giambattista Valli and Delpozo. It is worth recognizing that this is the brightest fashion trend.

Noble shades

The trend is noble shades of pink and green. Don't be afraid of pink, it can be quite serious and even aristocratic. This was perfectly proven by Araks, Preen and Burberry Prorsum.

A very fashionable soft green shade from: Jil Sander, Marni and Bottega Venetta.

African drawings

This summer, African designs are at the peak of popularity. Bright multi-colored patterns will definitely appeal to lovers of ethnic style. Photo: Givenchy, Hermes and MSGM.

Fringe is a fashion trend

Fringe, as an element of clothing decor, is increasingly seen on the catwalk. And this is not an accident, this is a trend. A wonderful example of all this can be seen in the collections: Chanel, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Miu Miu.

Futurism. Metal era

Rapid development high technology and the constant attempt to predict a bright future inevitably found its way into the fashion world. Luxurious models that take us into the transcendental distances of the future were shown: Lanvin, Gareth Pugh and Altuzarra.

Punk is alive

If you like to be “not like everyone else,” then bright and unusual solutions in the post-punk style are just for you! Photo: Saint Laurent, Rodarte and Fausto Puglisi.

Outlandish denim

Denim is always in fashion. This universal material deservedly bears the title of the most convenient and practical. And now he is also the most beautiful. Generously covered with outlandish prints, with complex unusual workmanship, it will definitely appeal to lovers of denim clothing. Apparently, designers think the same: Balmain, Barbara Bui and Holly Fulton.

The color scheme will be much brighter and more spring-like in comparison to last season. Absolutely new models of previously known trends await us. They will allow you to look at already familiar things with a completely different look.

Bright range of colors

When starting to study spring-summer fashion trends, you first need to decide on a fashionable range of colors. If you trust the Pantone color forecast, the main color of the season will be blue, and to be more precise, calm blue and bright blue shades. In addition, the trend will be all shades of purple (from orchid color to soft lavender), yellow freesia, orange, sand, red pepper, green (the color of Canadian spruce) and a soft shade of gray.

Retro chic

A favorite technique of many designers is to go back many years. In the coming season, designers invite fashionistas to turn their attention to the fashion of the sixties. This trend can be seen most clearly in the Miu Miu collection - vinyl miniskirts, candy-colored coats, webbed shoes, knitted leggings, and high lace-up boots.

From the 80s, you can see party looks - minidresses and asymmetrical tops, skinny trousers, jackets, and biker jackets.

At the same time, designers could not do without the 90s, which introduced minimalism and denim into outfits.

Futurism

The fashion of the future is on the agenda of most designers. What fabrics will be found in the distant future? Will the cut of the products change? Or perhaps everyone will start wearing only clothes with metallic shades?

Minimalism

Discreet and sophisticated cut, architectural drapery of fabric, pure color, a combination of opaque and transparent materials, decorative trim along the edges and optical prints - all this can be found in the collections of many designers.

At the same time, the main emphasis was placed on a calm range of colors: graphic black and white colors, peach, and there is also a play of dark and light tones. The design expresses complete asceticism and a laconic silhouette.

Overdressed

In world fashion there is such a thing as overdressed, which means “overdressed.” This definition implies a heap of details and prints, layering of various shades and textures of fabrics, as well as complex Baroque motifs - kitsch in its best manifestations is back in fashion.

African motifs

In the spring-summer 2014 period, the ethnic theme will become one of the most popular. True, in the new season the designers decided to focus on complex prints, from which it is very difficult to guess where they got their inspiration from.

Sports theme

In the spring-summer season, designers will be carried away by sports style. Regardless of where they got their inspiration from, they try to create things that are as feminine as possible. Many styles of shorts will be taken from basketball players. Visors, cozy sweatshirts and leg warmers together with dresses - such an unusual combination is present in the collections of Emilio Pucci, Gucci, Marni and Prada.

Translucency

Show underwear? What's wrong with that? One gets the impression that the designers decided to seriously engage in “undressing” the girls, exposing everything that was previously hidden from prying eyes.

Until spring, not the calendar one, but the real one - when the sky is blue, the sun not only shines, but also warms up, tulips bloom in puddles and, according to a well-known version, even tree stumps bloom, we still have a couple of months. During this time, you can think about a new hairstyle, make repairs, get married or divorced, and definitely, without fail, buy several new fashionable dresses. Exactly the style, color and length that will be fashionable in the spring of 2014. And to make your journey for new things successful, first read what kind of dresses fashionistas will be wearing very soon.

Classics of the genre

Little black dresses will probably never go out of style. At least in the spring of 2014, designers propose not only to wear them with or without an occasion, but also to complement them with small white collars, shirtfronts and yokes. As a set, this will provide you with an image that is graceful, elegant, refined and a little shy. An opportunity to touch and break more than a dozen hearts, isn’t it? And if you were bored with white collars and cuffs back in school, pay attention to the collections where dresses are not just black and small, but also made of the softest genuine leather. What could be more classic and fashionable at the same time than a little black sheath dress made of delicate leather?

Pleated

Fine pleating of long and short skirts and dresses has become another spring trend that did not want to be limited to the relevance of one season. We wore pleated last fall, and now there is a new color scheme, new accents and accessories, but the delightful small pleat, as if encouraging us to flutter and spin, remains with us.

Innocent and transparent, like the best intentions

Long transparent dresses, skirts and even blouses - no true fashionista will pass by this spring 2014 trend! Chiffon and organza, the finest cotton and linen, silk, lace - you just have to forget about possible embarrassment and be sure to take care of achieving an ideal physical shape, so that light airiness will come in handy.

Dresses A silhouette

Exquisite a-line dresses were given to us by fashion designer Christian Dior back in 1955, and since then they have not gone out of fashion, changing only a few details from year to year. The name of this dress follows from its shape, it resembles the letter A, in addition to this, Christian Dior himself named his collection A Line in the same 1955.

Why does this type of dress never go out of fashion, hardly changes, and many people like it so much? The answer is simple, for the majority, say 95% of girls, a-line dresses don’t just suit them; they look like they were made for them.

Thanks to the A-shape, the girl’s waist seems very thin, and her legs are very thin, due to the A-shaped shape, this is why girls in such dresses look like “thumbelinas,” which is what guys like.

In the spring-summer 2014 season, a-line dresses will undergo virtually no changes in terms of shape and cut. But still, stylists will not sit idle and will try to make the dresses more sophisticated, and in some cases bright and emphasizing the natural beauty of the girls. Most likely, stylists will play with:

• waistline height
• color
• fabrics
• skirt width
• decor

Case

The sheath dress for the spring-summer 2014 season will have the concept of an ideal dress for a woman, because thanks to its cut it emphasizes all the curves of the female body and focuses attention on a thin waist. But if you don't have an ideal figure, then you shouldn't worry. A sheath dress with a textured print and the right color will hide all your flaws and reveal all your advantages.

There will be no fundamental changes compared to 2013; the following will be added to the arsenal of fashion designers in 2014:

• Various prints and textures
• Buttons
• Collars
• Patterns
• Beaded patches
• Pockets

Lady, your collar!

Whatever dresses you wear this spring, to be at the peak of fashion, you will definitely need to carefully button the collar on them. Yes, yes, almost every fashionable dress of the season has a small shirt-cut collar made of a contrasting color and contrasting fabric texture. And, even if you wear your shirtdress unbuttoned from top to bottom, the collar will certainly hold up the defense while remaining buttoned tightly.

Fashionable tea length

Yes, this is not a mistake - it is tea-length dresses, the length that real ladies choose, that will be super popular this spring. Not a harsh maxi or an uncompromising mini, but something in between, just below or just above mid-calf. Let it be a tight-fitting sheath dress, a relaxed cut shirt or a delightfully feminine dress in the fashion of the 50s - but its length should emphasize the grace of your ankles, forcing others to imagine the beauty of the hidden. To understand what we are talking about, take a look at the collections of Proenza Schouler or Alice+Olivia... And in order not to disturb the proportions, experiment with the length and volume of the upper part. Let's give you a hint - a high waist helps lengthen your legs...

Short and very short dresses have been and will always be in fashion

Flowers, colors, shades

Spring 2014 - pastel and soft tones, originality and absurdity of prints and patterns. The shades of your spring outfits can be as subtle as you wish. For some reason, high fashion and ready-to-wear designers especially loved the colors of the spring sky and blooming leaves and flowers. Lilac, blue, yellow, mint green, orange - so delicate and smoky, as if your dress had been thoroughly rinsed in cream or mist.

But people working at the Pantone Color Institute have identified the most fashionable clothing colors of 2014, let's look at them:

• "Radiant Orchid" - scientists consider this color to be the most trendy this season
• Light Placid Blue - calm, gentle color, will emphasize your self-confidence
• Violet Tulip - this color will emphasize your good mood
• Coniferous Hemlock- this color, the color of nature, will give you energy and vitality
• Sand color - a neutral shade that will suit every girl and highlight her bright appearance
• Gray Paloma- neutral shade, this color will give you rigor and restraint
• "Cayenne pepper" - this color will make you sexy
• Amber yellow tone Freesia - this color will emphasize feminine tenderness
• Orange Celosia Orange - this color will emphasize feminine brightness
• "Dazzling Blue" - this color will set you apart from others with its unusual shade

Prints and patterns, on the other hand, are fun and aggressive at the same time. Animal art is still popular, but experiments with geometric zigzags, cubist motifs, spirals and vortices look much more interesting. Especially if they are made in black and white. Yes, achromia lovers haven’t been forgotten this season either; they won’t have to force their nature with soft pink dresses.

You don't like pastels, but the black and white palette is boring to the point of yawning? Well, at Chanel and Marc Jacobs, models at the spring fashion show showed either flashes of the brightest neon tones, or the dramatic, truly royal saturation of bright purple-violet colors. You may not want to wear this every spring day, but any of us can afford royal arrogance from time to time.

We will not be prophets if we say that this spring you can be as gentle, light, airy, and at the same time as strict, strong and aggressive as you can afford. Or rather, as far as the fashionable dress you choose will allow you!

Fashion 2014 is multifaceted and diverse. Classic basic items easily coexist with avant-garde accessories; grunge style and outfits on the verge of kitsch have emerged from the underground to world catwalks. Today it is fashionable to combine incongruous things and experiment with styles without fear. We propose to study the main trends of the spring-summer and autumn seasons of 2014 and now decide on fashion preferences.

Features of fashion 2014

This year's fashion trends combine surprisingly harmoniously with each other. Femininity has been declared the main trend of the year. Designers have created many outfits that highlight your assets female figure. Feminine fitted silhouettes, as well as loose and A-line silhouettes, predominate on the catwalks.

Fashionable prints - a wide variety! Floral prints combining inflorescences of different shapes and sizes have been seen by many designers. This season's floral designs are the most original. Hand-painted patterns of flowers, deliberately faded and dried buds, and voluminous bouquets were presented. In addition to floral, polka dots (size and color do not matter) and abstract prints (with a mirror effect and reminiscent of paint strokes) will also be popular.

Among fashionable materials, denim is the leader. This season, denim is presented with various effects - metallized, rubberized, with a shiny degraded effect, with an intricate “boiled” pattern! Materials that imitate luxurious mosaics also deserve attention. Some seem to be made of thousands of stained glass pieces. Stylish dresses, tunics, trousers, and even boots are made from such fabrics.

Fashion spring 2014

An atypical trend for the coming spring will be fur! This season it will decorate even the most seemingly inappropriate items of clothing - evening dresses, tops and trousers.

This spring, a must-have purchase should be a fashionable coat - in delicate caramel shades with a playful A-line silhouette or stylish loose-fitting options. In addition, cape coats in the brightest shades (blue, pink, etc.) will also be popular. The original coats with short sleeves are also worthy of attention: leather coats with various geometric elements as decoration, voluminous oversize coats with an uneven hemline and futuristic coats made of translucent plastic.

The sporty chic style will also be relevant - fashionable shirt dresses with sporty elements, bomber jackets, sweatshirts in bright colors and stylish ones - all this will harmoniously combine this spring with purely girlish outfits (dresses and skirts).

Fashion summer 2014

Playful and feminine dresses with full skirts and a belt at the waist, made from translucent materials, are perfect for summer.

A bright trend - layering - will also look harmonious against the backdrop of summer. Choose dresses and blouses in delicate pastel shades - they will highlight your tan especially effectively.

The most fashionable dress model will be a lingerie-style model, which will be worn on a naked body and combined with sophisticated sandals with long thin heels.

Dresses with a low waist and decorated with long fringe in a retro style are ideal for the evening.

Fashion fall 2014

To welcome autumn, purchase one of the fashionable coats presented in the fall 2015 collections. Especially, pay attention to non-trivial coat models: cropped, with unusual sleeves or without them at all. Coats with original geometric decor will also be relevant.

The brightest trend of the fall, perhaps, will be incredibly feminine maxi dresses, which will be worn both in the evening and as part of everyday sets. The only difference is in the accessories - during the day a discreet and simple bag will be enough, but in the evening you should change your shoes to chic heels and replace the bag with a clutch.

This season, according to Pantone, 10 shades will be relevant. This year the focus was on pastel colors, but there were more than enough bright contrasting shades.

One of them was rich blue - a favorite of many designers this year (DKNY, Chloe, Christian Dior). The remarkable thing about this shade is that it goes perfectly with all the colors that are fashionable this season. Another shade is pale blue Placid Blue. He was preferred by Emporio Armani, Barbara Bui. A rich lilac shade, also fashionable this season, seems to be created for bright and bold natures. Designers suggest dressing in it from head to toe (Max Mara). The complete opposite is a discreet lavender shade. This year, this color can be seen on the most feminine outfits - evening and casual dresses, skirts and blouses (Zac Posen, Giorgio Armani). Among the bright shades, it is worth noting the color Cayenne (the color of red capsicum), bright orange and bright yellow freesia. Many designers have chosen these colors for their collections (Alberta Ferretti, Ralph Lauren, DKNY). And finally, not a single fashion season is complete without restrained and noble shades. This year they are sand and powdery gray shades, which will balance and elevate any flashy tone.

Current styles 2014

Urbanism

Practical urban style is at the peak of popularity this year. Designers offer both sets that are restrained in style and color scheme (Bottega Veneta) and colorful looks with intricate ethnic prints (Valentino). Particularly chic are prints depicting vegetation or an exotic landscape.

Minimalism

Clear cut architecture, clean lines and simple silhouettes - all this can be found in fashion collections designers. The color scheme is calm - black and white predominate with the addition of light and dark shades (pink, peach, gray, etc.). Laconic silhouettes are offered by Alexander Wang, Jil Sander, Victoria Beckham.

Overdressed

This season, being dressed to the nines is incredibly fashionable! The current catwalk looks feature both a variety of prints and the brightest accessories (Rochas, Moschino). This season it’s common to dress in such a way that you get noticed, but even in this case it’s important to know when to stop.

Fashion accessories 2014

The hottest accessories this season are different bright design. Punk style jewelry is trendy: all kinds of necklaces, chains, earrings in the form of massive nails and handcuff bracelets. Retro style jewelry is also in fashion. Pearl sautoirs, cameos and crosses are presented on the catwalks. Absolute must have– large rings with stones, candelabra earrings and massive cuffs. And finally, royal-themed accessories became one of the brightest trends. Headbands-crowns and tiaras (D&G, Lanvin) were seen on the catwalks. When it comes to fashionable bags, this year we can expect a pleasant variety. Designers offer bags with both a hard frame (Christian Dior, Emporio Armani, Ralph Lauren) and soft shapes (Carven, Celine, Chloe). Neat miniature clutch bags of unusual shapes (Chanel, Roberto Cavalli) and fringed messenger bags (Gucci, Karen Walker) are also in fashion. Backpacks have not lost their relevance either. This season they are presented in bright colors (Rebecca Minkoff) and unusual textures (Chanel).

Fashionable hairstyles and makeup 2014

All current hairstyles for 2014 are distinguished by simplicity and sophistication. And if last season fashion show stylists tried to demonstrate complex hairstyles and voluminous hair designs, then this season the main trend was laconicism. Buns, low smooth ponytails and openwork simple weaving - all this will be popular this year. Among fashionable haircuts, it is worth highlighting the classic bob and avant-garde asymmetrical haircuts with shaved temples.

When it comes to current makeup, the entire fashion community is divided into two camps. Some advocate for nude makeup, which involves simulating the complete absence of decorative cosmetics on the face. Others suggest going all out and experimenting with your appearance to your heart’s content: a varied color palette (from pastel shades to bright neon colors), fashionable makeup application techniques (ombre, bright smokey eye, highlighting) encourage creativity in every possible way. For eyelids, makeup artists suggest using the widest range of colors, applied simultaneously to the eyelids (Chanel), and in the evening try on noble golden shades of eyeshadow.

Various arrows are relevant. In this case, the most daring experiments with color are possible. Both bright neon arrows and classic sophisticated ones are in fashion. This year you can also draw arrows with shadows - the main thing is to stock up on the necessary brushes and practice a little!

For lips - only bright lipstick and certainly matte (classic red, coral, plum, cherry, pink). This year, it’s worth trying fashionable lip makeup in the degrade style - the outer edges of the lips are painted in a rich shade of color, and the inside is lighter.

Among the key trends in men's fashion 2014, it is worth noting elegant restraint and comparison with the times.

Sober gentlemanly looks in retro style, but with a modern interpretation, are relevant. This year, classic suits in subdued colors are usually combined with bright shirts, turtlenecks (Costume National) or multi-colored polos (Billy Reid). Summer fashionable images seem to be imbued with creativity and a vacation mood - it’s not without reason that many brands presented many sets in a relaxed style (a glamorous Ashish denim suit, deliberately washed jeans and a Chanel shirt decorated with “strokes of paint”). Casual style looks will also be relevant. Any man will appreciate stylish well-fitting trousers (Michael Kors, Lacoste), a comfortable camel pullover or a fitted blazer (Elie Tahari). For autumn, fashion brands presented bright multi-layered sets in a sporty style (Dsquared2), elegant two-piece and three-piece suits in checks and stripes (Etro, Ermanno Scervino), as well as fashionable looks in the style of the 60s (Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo).

As for fashionable men's shoes, this year shoes made from unusual materials, with bright decor or original shapes will be popular. High boots with laces and thick soles are still popular. Designers offer both options with contrasting soles (Maison Martin Margiela) and rather impractical, but incredibly stylish models light shades (Bally). This year, sports chic looks will also be unthinkable without sneakers. We suggest choosing models with bright colors (Bally, Prada) and unusual designs (Rick Owens, Raf Simons). Don’t forget about classic shoe models and give preference to shoes made from unusual materials. One of them is raffia or woven leather. These shoes look incredibly stylish (Dolce&Gabbana, Emporio Armani) and give the whole look an original touch.

This year, fashionistas and trendsetters will have plenty of opportunities to try on new looks, play with colors and tones, and perhaps find their own unique style!

New fashion trends are almost completely consistent in some ways fashion trends last year's spring-summer season, and in some ways are completely new original finds of designers, in which they paid special attention to the most inconspicuous, at first glance, little things. All this made it possible to create a unique image of a seductive modern woman, close to natural sources and, at the same time, not devoid of typical features modern urban fashion. On the other hand, in the new spring-summer season one cannot help but notice the influence of the couture style of the 1930s-1960s, which can be seen in evening dresses, suits and such feminine wardrobe elements as blouses and skirts. The influence of men's style is also clearly visible, as many designers have included in their collections various clothing elements that are traditionally considered the prerogative of strong half humanity.

So, let's take a closer look at the main trends that set the tone for the entire spring-summer 2014 fashion season.

Slogan inscriptions on clothes

One of the most creative trends of the new season is applying all kinds of inscriptions to T-shirts, blouses, T-shirts, dresses and other wardrobe items. The inscriptions are made using appliques, prints, embroidery and are, in fact, not just a set of letters that form words, but real slogans designed to emphasize a particular mood of the person wearing such an outfit, as well as to piquantly highlight the hooligan, rocker or street style . Quite unusual inscriptions in delicate spring shades are presented in the Kenzo collection. The bright and daring DKNY collection perfectly fits the inscriptions and logos of the designer brand, reminiscent of the fashion of the 1990s. The logos were also used in the Moschino collection, which also distinguished itself with very provocative inscriptions not only in English, but also in Italian. Christopher Kane, compared to other designers, presented to the public dresses and blouses with more delicate and feminine inscriptions “Flower” and “Petal”. Various inscriptions can also be found in the collections of Christian Dior, Alexander Wang, Ashish, Tommy Hilfiger and Markus Lupfer.

Fringe

Such a spectacular element as fringe, which can turn any outfit into an enchanting evening or simply an extravagant dress, is also found in the current autumn-winter fashion season, but in very small quantities. In the new warm season, fringe has taken pride of place in the collections of many designers, becoming a symbol of chic outfits, like a magnet attracting admiring glances. One of the most extravagant duos of modern fashion, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, presented to the public bright, rich red and orange outfits, consisting entirely of “chopped” fringe with clear edges. In the Emilio Pucci collection you could find cute black and white ponchos with edges that smoothly turn into fringe. In the new collection, Alexander McQueen paid a lot of attention to outfits with the most incredible silhouettes with unusual small fluffy fringes. Jean Paul Gaultier decorated his outfits with large “geometric” fringes of different lengths, harmoniously complementing his shocking style. Various skirts, dresses, blouses and even jackets, decorated with fringes from various fabrics, were also demonstrated by such designers as Bottega Veneta, Altuzarra, Miu Miu, Rodarte, Moschino and Dries Van Noten.

Stylish tuxedo

It seems that the designers are seriously planning to leave the stronger sex without the fashionable items historically assigned to them, since every season they introduce more and more masculine components of the wardrobe into the elements of women's outfits. Thus, in the current cold season, many designers mixed typically feminine and masculine items in their collections, and in the new spring-summer season of 2014, most designers paid increased attention to such a stylish wardrobe element as a tuxedo, making it one of the most fashionable glamorous and bohemian trends style, as well as a democratic casual style. The most spectacular models of women's tuxedo jackets in various shades with classic satin black lapels are presented in the new Emilio Pucci collection. An original white tuxedo with yellow lapels, harmoniously combined with flowing yellow tapered trousers and light white boots, presented in the Blumarine collection, are the ideal choice for creating a stylish summer look. Recognized fashion hooligan Vivienne Westwood demonstrated spectacular satin black tuxedos with a loose fit, decorated with voluminous flower brooches. Other models of a similar wardrobe element, as well as jackets very similar in cut to tuxedos, can be found in the collections of Haider Ackermann, Burberry Prorsum, Jason Wu and Chanel.

Wide trousers in men's style

The next trend of the new warm season, also borrowed from the stronger sex, is wide trousers with pleats, pintucks and thin leather straps at a slightly high waist, which are a classic element of the men's trouser suit of the 1930s. Most classic options trousers in a men's style, made in neutral shades, can be found in the Hermes collection. Voluminous trousers with pintucks and wide cuffs from Marni are quite unusual, but no less attractive, and look in combination with tight-fitting long-sleeve blazers and flip-flop sandals on a high platform, made in the Japanese style. Extravagant versions of wide trousers, slightly tapered at the bottom, are presented in the collection of the timeless fashion legend Vivienne Westwood. Men's trousers made from lightweight fabrics with sporty elements from DKNY are perfect for creating a fashionable urban look with a slight touch of casualness. Other models of wide trousers can be found in the collections of Jason Wu, Calvin Klein, Trussardi and Etro.

Abundance of blue and blue shades

One of the most “iconic” trends of the new warm season, echoing the fashionable colors of spring-summer 2014, is the abundance of all kinds of outfits at fashion shows, made in trendy blue and blue shades.

Slightly casual shirtdresses, high-waisted skirts and satin blouses from Christian Dior; stylish suits with cropped jackets from Trussardi; Flowy chiffon dresses from Zac Posen and elegant 1960s-inspired suits from Holly Fulton in a soft placid blue will create a feminine look, perfect for the warmer months.

Another, deeper blue fashionable color called “dazzling blue” showed itself perfectly in the design of spectacular sports dresses and light raincoats from DKNY; satin suits, jackets and dresses from Emilio Pucci; unusual trouser suits from Kenzo; dresses, skirts and jackets from Fendi; strict, laconic suits from Stella McCartney; unusual chiffon dresses from Vera Wang and a bright satin A-line coat from Issey Miyake.

Cropped top

In 2012, cropped clothing for the upper body was at the peak of popularity, but in the spring-summer season of 2013, designers decided to ignore such a seductive trend as an open tummy. In the new warm season, blouses, tops, T-shirts, bustiers, T-shirts, blazers and even jackets in a shortened version have returned to the fashion catwalks, allowing you to show all the beauty of a woman’s tummy and demonstrate the navel. The most seductive tops and bustiers, made of aggressive patent leather or translucent lace and guipure, are presented in the collections of Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen. Short stylish jackets with lapels, jackets with retro-style elements and laconic fitted blazers can be found in the collections of Chanel, Trussardi, Salvatore Ferragamo and Blumarine. All sorts of variations of cropped outfits for the upper body were also presented to the public by Kenzo, Fendi, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Moschino and Vivienne Westwood.
