Fashion is always closely linked with the latest in the world, but lately it has become easy to see that some trends have the power to come and go often. Others don't even come out of shop windows and dummies.
Thrift shops also became popular precisely because they sold pieces that became timeless. Items that can be worn by women of any age. Best of all, they can be kept for decades and remain current.
Image and lifestyle expert Cláudia Piantini explains why this phenomenon happens in fashion. “When we go back to using a certain look, it's like we're looking for some ransom in history, but it's something that always comes with more innovation,” she says.
The fact is that there are trends that never go out of style. Here's a list of the top ones and what's worth investing next time you shop.
1. Animal print
The animal print is already a classic in fashion. Jaguar, zebra and leopard appear on clothing in any season. This type of design has been part of clothing for a long time, as animal skin was the first fabric used by man to cover the body.
Gifts on shirts, shoes, bags, scarves and a host of other items, wearing animal print is no longer synonymous with exaggerated fashion. The style consultant, Ana Vaz, gives the tip how to create a look with animal print and remain discreet. • For those who don't want a more eye-catching look when sweating this pattern, it's worth choosing small formats in more discreet colors and applying to smaller pieces. The opposite goes for those who want more boldness.
It is also worth remembering that to use this trend it is good to avoid very short or tight clothes, thus attenuating the appeal to sensuality. When in doubt, strive for balance by combining the animal print with neutral colors such as brown, beige, black and white.
2. Black and White
No use, both colors are wild in anyone's closet. They match each other and look good on any body. You can use this mixed trend or opt for totally white or completely black looks. With these shades, you can create different styles.
You can be romantic, sexy, classic or trendy and make sure that B&W is a trend can easily be part of your clothing. If you want to use it all at once and add a little color, just use black and white patterned pieces and choose another colorful item. The result is a timeless look.
3. Florals
Flowers are welcome anyway, whether to adorn and scent the house or to enhance the look. Big or small: it doesn't matter, they are democratic, just knowing how to use it. ? The pattern has to be proportional to the physical biotype of who will use. So before buying, pay attention to the points you want to highlight, and of course, the interference of colors ?, said Claudia Piantini.
Typical of the spring collections, the floral print was redesigned with the intention of also having the face of winter. The flowers mixed with the dark background give the clothes a chic look. The ideal is to combine with smooth pieces to balance the look. But if you're a fashion expert, give it your fashionista twist and bet on a mix of prints.
4. Navy
This is one of those easy-to-produce styles where pieces are found in both famous designer stores and the most popular stores in your city. The navy has as main references the striped, prints or mentions to anchors and ropes and also the colors white, red and navy. It is a trend that can be both chic or unpretentious.
The sailor look emerged in the 1920s by the hands of Coco Chanel and often appears in shop windows around the world. The navy look comes to the feet, with Anabela jumpers, which instantly resemble the marine environment. It is also easy to find blue and white striped bags or that resemble the costumes of the sailors.
4. Jeans
One word defines: indispensable. This is how jeans look to most people. Easy to find in any wardrobe, jeans were created in 1872 in France, in the Nimes region. Over time, the fabric was eventually called denim. The name jeans came about because Italy imported the product to make the uniforms of the sailors of the Port of Genoa.
But material, as we know it today, appeared at the hands of Levi Straus, owner of Levi? S, in 1853. Jeans were used at this time mainly by gold miners in the United States.
To this day jeans is one of the best friends he works for. Practical and comfortable, the material goes well almost always, with a few exceptions. "Jeans are always informal and should be avoided in work environments that require social clothes, in more formal environments, at weddings, graduations," said Ana Vaz.
The fabric is timeless, but if you want to update the look just combine jeans with jeans.According to Ana, to make the mix and get the choice right you need to use different tones. It's worth choosing different washes, colors or prints when you don't want a joint look. For example, a pair of light jeans with poas + shirt in dark jeans ?.
5. Chess
Another material that hit the radar of fashionistas due to workers is chess. The fabric is still proof that fashion and music are closely linked. Patterning came to the fore in the 1990s, when the grunge of bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam came into focus. The groups had a habit of wearing a plaid shirt, which was widely used in Seattle, USA, by the lumberjacks.
But the history of chess use began much earlier. There are records of the fabric dating from 700 to 50 BC by the Celtic people in Europe. But leaving the historical aspect aside, the important thing is that chess has invaded stores and looks beautiful on anyone. To look modern, tie the plaid shirt at the waist. Combine with shorts and boots and success is guaranteed.
7. Militarism
Militarism is another fashion classic that is always up to date. It appeared in the 1940s, when World War II occurred (1939-1945). At the time, women began to wear the pencil skirt, just like the military of the period. In the 1970s, there was a rescue of this fashion through the hippie movement, which used the military jacket as a critique of the Vietnam War (1955-1970).
Today, for example, it is more difficult to see garments with that camouflage print. Military style is often mentioned through moss green garments, in addition to the details and applications in gold. Boots and jackets inspired by the Armed Forces universe are also easily found in stores.
Claudia's tip is to use delicate and romantic accessories to make the military look more feminine. Ana Vaz suggests betting on the combination with fabrics like lace, silk and velvet.
8. Ladylike Style
Unlike militarism, with ladylike femininity is obvious. Created in the 1950s, the style was mainly influenced by Christian Dior. After the end of World War II, did he decide to create pieces that showed elegance and were made with a lot of cloth? that was being rationed at the time.
The New Look appeared with a round skirt, marked waist and heels. This is all part of this look. And if you think the style is for older women, make a mistake, as young men like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande adopt ladylike references in the look. Among the accessories, pearl jewelry and kitty glasses complete the superfeminine image.
9. Hippie Chic
It may be called folk, gipsy, boho or hippie chic, but the style is similar. Inspired by the 1970s movement that preached peace, love and free sex and also at the Woodstock festival, the trend comes and goes.
Gowns, long skirts, fringes, crochet, tie-die prints, ethnic and arabesques. Flats and boots dominate the feet of new hippies, and purses are often unstructured, like bag purses. Loose, natural-looking hair, braids and flower head bands are suggestions to make up the look.
10. Minimalism
Classic from the 90s, minimalism is another that had its heyday, but often comes back to the windows. Among the biggest representatives of this fashion are the designers Calvin Klein, Kenzo and Jil Sander. The tendency to opt for the minimum appeared in the last decade of the twentieth century, precisely to give a rest to the eyes of fashionistas who had already seen the exaggeration of the 1980s and the explosion of color of the 1970s.
After all, after so many prints, colors and cuts, a woman often wants to be simple and basic. And that is exactly what this trend preaches. Clothes that represent simplicity, with good cuts and neutral tones, such as white, black and gray.
These are the trends that are here to stay. That is, they are no longer trends, they are established in the fashion world as references at the time of dressing. You may not like them all, but there is certainly one that will be perfect for you.
