2. Predicting the Future of Fashion: Exploring Editorial’s Predictions
From beret hats to Bermuda shorts, fashion is a rapidly ever-changing landscape, shaped largely by trends and the industry itself. But where does the fashion industry itself look to predict what the next big hit pieces will be? Editorialists, or fashion gurus as they’re sometimes known, play a role in forecasting the sartorial future.
Why do Editors Matter? Editors help to maintain the exuberance and dynamism of the fashion industry, highlighting and predicting which trends are in, and which ones are on their way out. They have a knack for analysing the fashion realm, establishing new styles and predicting what we should watch out for. So what are their predictions for the coming year?
Environmentalism This year and beyond, it looks like fashion trends will increasingly be driven by environmental concerns. From eco-friendly materials to the “slow fashion” movement, viewers are seeing the fashion industry take steps to shrink its carbon footprint and reduce its consumption of natural resources.
The Return of Prints and Patterns Prints and patterns are gaining traction as the fashion world continues to seek ways to express individuality. From colorblocking to mix-and-matching, people are wearing their personality on their sleeves! The confidence to mix up prints and find the right types to suit a person is the cornerstone of fashion.
Accessories and Hairpieces Fashion-forward hairpieces, like headscarves, headbands, statement earrings and necklaces, are sported among the trendiest fashion-goers.
Accessorising can help to redefine an entire outfit – sequins may not be suitable for every occasion, but when utilized the right way, small details can elevate any outfit.
Tonal Whites Style experts argue that “tonal whites” like beige, cream, and ivory are the new black. Many high-end fashion houses are introducing delightful yet tasteful whites into their clothing collections, helping to further simplify fashion choice and reduce the decision-making process.
3. Tactfully Timeless: Defining the Classics for 2017 and Beyond
As the saying goes: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. To this end, the styles and trends that have stood the test of time have become classics. 2017 is the perfect opportunity to update our favorite classics to give them a fresh twist that keeps them alive and relevant.
Fabrics Choosing natural fibers such as cotton, silk and linen will ensure the look will always stay timeless, although don’t forget we can also mix up textures and fabrics for interesting effects. Faux furs have become big news, often used creatively to replace winter jackets, or even as a modern accent on blazers and coats.
Colors The classic colors such as navy, black and white, will always look chic and modern but why not go bold and daring with more contemporary hues? Bright pinks, emerald greens and purples will help inject a bit of life into our winter wardrobes.
Garments
- Overcoats: You can never go wrong with a classic tailored in wool overcoat – it will last you a lifetime.
- Blazers: Show off a bit of personality with tartan, stripes or plaid in sumptuous colors.
- Trousers: Skinny or straight leg trousers are always a safe bet.
- Accessories: A scarf can instantly add interest to any outfit, but leather gloves, hats, and sunglasses will help to complete the look.
Although determining the classics for 2017 and beyond may at first appear daunting, it need not be. With a pinch of creativity and the right styling techniques, it is possible to create a look that is timelessly modern.
4. Embracing the Unconventional: Breaking Rules and Making Trends
Breaking away from what’s comfortable sometimes causes fear and uncertainty, but it can also be a great opportunity to find something new. Unconventional thought is often what drives progress and brings people closer to solutions to problems. Here are a few ways to embrace the unconventional:
- Become an observer, instead of a doer. Step back and observe new approaches and methods without blindly accepting them. Evaluate different perspectives, and recognize the value in them.
- Challenge the status quo. Ask “why?” instead of “what?” Evaluate current theories and ideas, then question their usefulness. Diverge from common thinking and probe new angles.
- Combine ideas. Don’t be discouraged by criticism; use it as a guide to create something new. Get creative; mix-and-match old ideas to form new, innovative ones.
Implement The Unconventional. After gathering information and data, take the plunge and start implementing ideas that challenge the status quo. Accept failure as a part of the process, and don’t let bad experiences or naysayers keep you from attempting the unconventional.
Be Passionate. Passion will drive you to achieve something remarkable. Once you’ve identified an opportunity to make a contribution, focus on taking action in a way that excites you, thus propelling you to make progress.
Define Your Impact. Once you’ve made progress in breaking rules and making trends, define how your work is changing the field. Document the impact you’ve made as a result of your unconventionality, and revere in the knowledge that someone took a risk, and it paid off!
Bid adieu to old-fashioned styles and welcome in a brave new world of fashion possibilities. The Chic Chronicles is the perfect platform to explore the length and breadth of the runway, making the next fashion statement an unmissable one.
