If we missed anything.... let us know! Savvy Style's A to Z Fashion Trends Spring Summer 2014  Colour Me Beautiful Athletic stripes have been spotted on trousers! Look out for smart, tailored trousers featuring a dramatic, elongating stripe down the outside of the leg. Blush hues are soft and delicate, look out for powdery pinks and corals to be on top of the trends. Cropped, boxy jackets are popping up all over the runways! Look for a jacket featuring a fantastic intricate pattern to thrown on over a simple summer shift. Double denim is all the rage, just be sure not to wear two pieces of denim in the same hue! Mix and match with different shades, washes, and textures of denim this season. Embellishments on blouses are very S/S 2014, whether it’s leather, lace, pleating, quilting, beading, fringe – anything goes as long as it’s lovely! House of Fraser Florals are everywhere! Spring is all about new life, so whether you wear an oversized flower broach or in patterns, make sure to pay tribute to the coming of the new season! Gilded in gold. Opulent lame’ fabrics have been seen on this season’s boxy jackets, shift blouses, and even on super tailored trousers.  Higher hemlines have been making an appearance this year, pair them with Spring’s conservative boxy tops and jackets to bring the focus to your legs! Intricate graphic prints are all over! They’re bold, so pair these dramatic clean prints with simple, solid pieces to let them stand out. Jump into a jumpsuit, they’re fun, funky, and a must have item for this summer. Look for a jumpsuit in a soft, elegant material, and pair it with your hottest heels for a smouldering evening look! Kate Spade Knotted up. Twists, folds, pleats – they’re everywhere! From clothes to accessories knots can be seen all over. Leather is not longer reserved for bags, shoes, or jackets! Look for buttery soft leather on a high waisted skirt, or for something subtler a blouse with leather detailing. Masculine shapes. From blazers to utility coats, a masculine cut is very S/S 2014! Nude nails featuring coloured tips are a fun way to freshen up a French manicure! Whether you choose a nude nail paired with black for absolute elegance, or funky neon tips for something fun – your nails will look fabulous! Over-the-top details abound. From romantic ruffles to jewels to liquid silk to sparkling sequins, Spring and Summer are your time to dazzle and shine! Pleats are back! This season they can be found anywhere from pants to blouses and dresses. Quaint and humble fabrics are soft as can be. Watch out for these fabrics in the dusty shades of summer featured in the oh so popular ladylike looks of the season. Radiant Orchid is the shade of the season, but a red dress works too! Whether you wear it in a garment or in an accessory form be sure not to miss out on this season’s hottest hue! Shift silhouettes have been seen in the form of short blouses (to be paired with tailored trousers) and summer dresses. Wear this elegant cut in a solid pattern and dress up with fantastic accessories! Tea-length skirts so ladylike, be on the lookout for this skirt in a soft fabric in one of this season’s featured hues. Up in the clouds! Welcome in spring by sporting soft, cloudy, white hues. This season white is big and featured in head to toe looks. If you’re not ready for something so dramatic look for a key piece like a jacket or trousers for this season. V is for one of the most unexpected fashion accessories of the season: visors! The athletic trend is going strong, so protect your face from the sun and sport a visor.  Wide leg trousers are perfect for summer, they’re loose, breezy, and so chic. Look for higher waisted trousers that don’t feature a dramatic flair for the most flattering silhouette. Hobbs X is for x-ray vision. Layer a delicate tank under a sheer blouse to take advantage of Spring’s beautiful sheer, draping fabrics. Y is for yellow, from something bright and sunny to a pale primrose, this cheerful colour screams “Spring is here!” Zoo prints are still all the rage, from zebra to leopard to tiger, these ferocious prints are here for another season!
