WOOD SUNGLASSES (ss13 eyewear)

A brand new eyewear trend for this summer are wood sunglasses. They are super hipster and most likely also made ecological. Wear a pair of wood sunglasses together with garments in the same color tints / floral prints/ a boring suit.

THE BOMBER JACKET (ss13/ fw14 (wo)menswear)

Don't you just love a bomber jacket? it's so comfy and this + upcoming season also really fashionable. You can find a bomber jacket with almost every type of print or color. We suggest you to buy one with a striking baroque print or a really bright one for this spring/ summer. Every huge fashion brand  (such as Chanel, Hermès, Versace,...) has a few amazing bomber jackets but unfortunately they come with a giant price tag (up to 5000$)

NEONS (ss13 (wo)menswear)

This fashion season is so diverse that it is almost contradictory. We can see this in the color trends: neons and fluo colors are the latest trend but at the same time pastels are also really big... So what now? pastels or neons? Well we say both. Wouldn't it be a little boring if you'd only have pastels/neons in your closet? We do think that the neons are waaay more spring and summer than pastels. We've already seen too much pastel colors the past seasons so go for some neon pieces as well! They look fabulous. But make sure you don't wear too many  neon pieces at once because that will make you look a bit cheap.

we love neon loubies

must have!

fluo menswear is also very ss13

SAFARI (ss13 menswear)

Men's ss13 runways are full of safari influences, with lots of safari jackets designed by several top fashion designers, oversized shorts and army/ camouflage prints. Combine a beige safari jacket with a nice khaki tshirt with ethnic print and your ready to go watch some wild animals!

METALLICS (ss13 (wo)menswear)

Metallics, not something everyone can get away with. It's really hard to wear f.e. a metallic dress. But when it's fashion, we need to take some risks. Metallics are everywhere: haute couture runways, in ready to wear collections, streetstyle fashion and so one. So we guess that metallics could be exploding this summer! The easiest/ less dangerous way to wear a metallic is by wearing a mini metallic dress. These babies look cute but yet sophisticated. We've seen a lot of celebs wear these kind of dresses. If you are really in to metallics then you should buy yourself a maxi metallic dress. It's really hard to get away with but maybe the odds are in your favor!

not only for women!

PS: watch out for rust :)

MAXI DRESS (ss13 womenswear)

A maxi dress or maxi skirt is really comfy but at the same time also very trendy, it's perfect for a summer barbecue or  picnic in your local park. Maxi Dresses are easy to wear and refreshed with jerseys and cut away detailing. Get a Maxi dress in a bright color or with a flirty flower print to stay a head with the latest trends!!!

you can wear your MD almost everywhere

FLORALS (ss13 (wo)menswear)

Floral, flowers, blossoms... Everything is blooming on spring 2013 runways so it's all about floral prints this summer. It isn't only a huge thing on ss13 women's runway, also men can wear a beautiful floral suit without looking ridiculous. Because you know, it's fashion! 

a cute floral dress = must have

everything floral: shoes, dresses, pants,...

SHOE TREND: DR MARTENS (ss13 (wo)menswear)

We all know Dr. Martens shoes are very popular among skinheads, punks and grungers. Now Dr Martens shoes are becoming more and more mainstream, the British shoe brand has conquered the world the latest season. We've already seen celebs such as Jessica Alba with a pair of these boots. There isn't a top/ most popular pair of Doc Martens for this spring/summer but you can clearly see that the brightest and most colorful are the ones who are bought the most...

TREND COLOR: ORANGE / PINK / SALMON ( (wo)menswear ss13)

The ss13 color palette is full with the most neon and bright colors ever seen, yet there are a few which stand out: orange, pink and salmon for example. Even men are able to wear pink this summer without controversy. You can find almost everything in these colors: tops, dresses, pants, skirts, suits, shoes etc... It's also really fashion if you are able to mix 2 of these colors in your ootd!

PLATFORM SOLES (ss13 (wo)men)

This summer shoe is all about the high sole. The higher the better! A pair of Creepers (Underground) or the latest converse model with a triple sole are almost mandatory in your shoe rack. It might look uncomfortable but once you wear a pair of these babies you feel like you're walking on clouds. And of course it is always fun  when you're 3 inches taller !

FASHION = FUN (ss13 women)

This spring/summer fashion is all about fun! Stop wearing those boring tops and skirts and start mixing up some color and prints. The more it stands out the better! Go back to your childhood and grab an Andy Warhol like t shirt to wear with your most colorful shorts and skirts!

Nothing is crazy or childlike this spring/summer, that's why a cute Minnie Mouse top is almost a must this summer :)

the more your necklace pops out the better!
