All you need to know about 2018 fashion fads
Nearly half of 2018 is already gone. By now, we know what's the latest fad in fashion, what's working and what's not. But if you haven't been following trends, don't worry. We have cherry-picked a few, for you. Learn how to pick the hottest trends, and how to set your simplest looks on fire. Women and men, here's your complete style guide for this year.
Women, here's what you should have in the closet
Though Pantone declared 'Ultra Violet' the official color of 2018, pastel shades like lavender and baby pink have dominated the international runways and style-streets this year, and so have colorful artsy designs and monochromes. Fashionistas are bringing back styles from the past too. Sequins, fringe and florals are everywhere you look. If you're confused, go chic with a pair of dark denims. Always works.
Men, some effort can go a long way
Fashion-conscious men, vintage checks and military wear are in trend. Start off with a one-piece before combining more than one. Brown is the new black. Experiment with different shades. Flared pants are back too. Think 1970s. Vertical stripes can add to your fashion quotient. If you are lazy, go for the all-time classics: suits, loose garment shapes and athleisure are style plus comfort.
Show some love to your eyes and feet
In the world of sunglasses, each is a winner. But the hottest picks of this year are the new (or old) tiny sunglasses from 'The Matrix.' Choose from cat-eye (narrow, angular face), rectangle (round, oval face), or circular/oval frames (heart-shape, square face). For fashionable feet, buy some pairs of cowboy/mesh boots, futuristic trainers, and high '80s-style stiletto pumps. Hot-hued shoes are a must-have.
Turn the simplest looks hot with an accessory
You can fire up your simplest look with the right accessory. Carry a huge bag, wrap a scarf around your hair or put on some elbow-length gloves to up the oomph. See-through bags and shoes are trending. Or simply top it off with a hat.
Here's what you should be giving up right now
Here's what you should definitely NOT wear anymore, at least for now. Shun your chokers, skater merch, and corset belts. Off-the-shoulder tops and silly statement tees are done and dusted. Comfort has never been as important as now, so get rid of your painful shoes and heavy jewelry. Reminder: Knockoffs aren't, and have never been, trendy.
