2. There are bedroom eyes following us around, as we are encouraged to take our white satin with black lace slips and wear them out, plunging necklines and high slits and all. SLEEPWEAR AS OUTERWEAR!

3. The daytime pajama options are for those who cannot live without the comfort of sleepwear once they get home from a long day at work . #1: Sleepwear as Outerwear! The top fashion trend that really caught our attention and has had us modelling before the mirror in our best nightgowns from La Vie en Rose and top boutique lingerie stores is the whole sleepwear worn as outerwear trend. There are bedroom eyes following us around, as we are encouraged to take our white satin with black lace slips and wear them out, plunging necklines and high slits and all, as was the case at Celine . The daytime pajama options are for those who cannot live without the comfort of sleepwear once they get home from a long day at work. Now, they need never leave that comfort, even if it in the guise of pajamas . SLEEPWEAR AS OUTERWEAR!

4. SLEEPWEAR AS OUTERWEAR!

5. BOXY JACKETS The jacket trend for the upcoming seasons actually seems to take on a boxier silhouette with cropped cuts sophisticated figure roomy but with a proper fit for the body, perfect to go with the slack pants that are also a huge thing for the season.

6. BOXY JACKETS

7. NEW BOLD POWER SUITS A type of office suit stereotypically associated with the 1980s. It is characterized by sharp cuts, wide shoulder pads and a stiff rigidity. Bold is an understatement when it comes to the way suits are looking these days, especially or the upcoming seasons.

8. They are probably not meant for the conservative business environment, as they scream out loud and clear with their creativity, full prints and bright colors , but they sure make a statement no matter where you are standing. NEW BOLD POWER SUITS

9. WEARING IT ALL INSIDE OUT The trend seems to include bralettes layered over blouses slips that have been draped over tees , the underthings appearing to come over the normal overcoats in the lingerie-inspired effects the spring season sees to hold high.

10. WEARING IT ALL INSIDE OUT

11. BARED SHOULDERS It is one of the biggest spring 2016 fashion trends seen on the and it is rocking our worlds!

12. BARED SHOULDERS Having the perfect neckline with the right amount of skin shown is not only sexy but also an art unto itself. The bared shoulders themselves included three distinct types: Shoulder cutouts 2. Off the shoulder 3. Asymmetrical necklines

13. BARED SHOULDERS SHOULDER CUTOUTS

14. BARED SHOULDERS SHOULDER CUTOUTS

15. BARED SHOULDERS OFF THE SHOULDER

16. BARED SHOULDERS ASYMMETRICAL NECKLINES

17. LINEN FROM HEAD TO TOE the feel of linen against our bodies, from the shoulders down to the toes. It brings with pieces in ivory, light grey, and camel looking super chic. We see it appear in a very comfortable manner at Creatures of Comfort

18. LONG SLEEVES WITH SHEER LAYERING The spring and summer would never bring long sleeves to mind. On the contrary, we would be happy to be well rid of those pesky things, along with multiple layers. We would much rather be wearing a simple tank and shorts.

19. LONG SLEEVES WITH SHEER LAYERING

20. LONG SLEEVES WITH SHEER LAYERING The spring and summer would never Mesh fabrics and lace are what we are going for here, and preferably nothing excessively synthetic.

21. ADDING A FEW STRINGS This is an It is all about loose strings hanging about from shirts and tops and even pants, looking perplexing and weird but still somehow common enough to be called a trend.

22. EDGY RAW HEMS Frayed hems, or those left raw without finishing off are surprisingly a trend, so those tops you tried making that did not turn out to be quite perfect might actually be just right for the upcoming spring and summer seasons of 2016.

23. PEEKABOO BLACK PIECES The black is featured in nearly every collection, with sheer paneling , cutouts , lace aspects, spider web details and other ideals that reveal a bit more skin than we thought we might want

24. ‘70S SUEDE CONTINUES ON loved the suede last year, particularly for the fall and winter. Now , we see it playing peek-a-boo with us for the spring and summer, appearing from time to time in beautiful designs, boomed .

25. OLD ENGLISH SLEEVES the puffed up looks there that add a sophisticated but fun edge to things, kind of like the black pieces at The Row, and a whole lot more throughout as seen on the Victorian and romantic era pieces.

26. FRILLS, RUFFLES AND MORE RUFFLES Ruffles are lovely. They make any piece looks positively feminine and utterly delicate, particularly when the ruffles are created from flimsy, swaying fabrics.

27. BRA-LIKE TOPS AND BANDEAUS We’re been seeing a whole lot of the ‘90s style bra tops, except with a flatter, more sportsy appearing effect for the most part. Sometimes they are worn on their own, other times with sweaters or long sleeved sheer tops underneath

28. BOWS, BOWS AND MORE BOWS BowsRochas . particularly oversized ones, are one of the biggest spring 2016 fashion trends for the coming year, as we expect they will still be around for the fall and winter.

29. LEATHER KEEPS ITS SPOT ON THE RUNWAY Leather has been a big trend for a while now and seems to be going strong still, despite having wavered in designer popularity in comparison with the past seasons. it appear often enough as a jacket, while still taking into account the high waist miniskirts, the gorgeous shoes and sandals, the zip up variations, and all

30. MAXI DRESSES AND SKIRTS There are a whole lot of maxi dresses on the runway for the spring and summer and we love them very much, especially when they come in positively spectacular designs and colors .

31. BRINGING BACK THE ‘90S looking at the ‘90s, particularly referenced on the Paris Fashion Week. We saw everything from the rave culture to grunge and even a few fanny packs .

32. KNIFED UP PIECES Some of the looks on the runways actually appear to be knifed up in one way or another. That goes for the hems of the shimmering dresses, the hacked up pieces at Each x Other, the asymmetrical skirts

33. PLUNGING NECKLINES Those plunges look awesome with the gorgeous Boss organza pleats in black, the ruffled up romantic red dresses, the billowing transparent pieces, along with the pure lace looks viewed at designer wear.

34. CROCHET OUTERWEAR organza and other sheer materials were the crux of the transparent fashions, you were wrong. Woefully so! Apparently things can look much better when you add crochet skirts and tops and jackets to the mix, with barely a bit of black underwear underneath for contrast against the skin

35. OVERSIZED AND LOOSE FITS While we certainly do have the body cons, we also have a whole lot of looser fitting or oversized clothing, the glittering large dresses with the high necks, long sleeves and midi hemlines, and the oversized denim shirt and pants so distinctively seen. Loose and comfortable scream the bare shouldered dresses, while the loose slips include pleats and metallic coloring, plunging necklines only giving it an even looser effect.

36. LUXE MEETS GEEK CHIC

37. THE PRAIRIE DRESS Little House on the Prairie… it used to be a childhood favorite and probably stood behind the creation of dresses that included prairie floral prints, frills and layers, with hems below the knees or full length ..

38. FULL COVERAGE NECKLINES the plunges are still going strong enough, higher necks, often in the guise of turtlenecks, have appeared rather strongly as well. They come in ruffles, at with shoulder cutouts crumpled fabric micro pleats Victorian looks

39. CRUMPLED FABRIC Interesting fashion trends are always popping up and we have been unduly drawn to the crumbled fabrics seen on the runways for the upcoming seasons, including shirts seen at

40. PLEATS AND MICRO PLEATS ON EVERYTHING Pleats are lovable. They are interesting to look at, add a whole lot of flounce and still end up appearing as chic and sophisticated as can be. So when you add micro pleats, it is bound to look event better, from Stella McCartney’s asymmetrical and gradient hued skirts and tops taken into consideration, to the romantic ruffles and frills at Giles, the yellow buttercup seen at Sonia Rykiel , the pretty lilac grey hued dress at Gabriele Colangelo , and the off the shoulder pieces at J Mendel.

41. VICTORIAN ROMANCE We may be in the 21st century but we still love to look back on the Victorian and Elizabethan periods and fall in love all over again with the frills and ruffles and ribbons and lace, something that translates well into modern fashion trends. We see the Victorian sleeves poufy fashions gathered waists craftsmanship at high necks the gorgeous lace which allows for the Victorian romance to bloom, plunging necklines

42. CENTER SLITS Center slits were rather big on the runways for 2015 and can still be seen to some extent for 2016, appearing with strapless options in white with black strings trailing

43. SIDE SLITS We love seeing some thigh, especially on those long skirts and dresses as they begin to wrap around the legs. There is something infinitely gorgeous about the side slit, something that has continued on from the past seasons and looks to want to keep its place on the runway

44. THE LATIN FASHION INFLUENCE We have mentioned frills and bows and ruffles already among the top spring/ summer 2016 fashion trends, but there is something more for the warm seasons that is red hot and full of passion. There is nothing better than a Latin dance and what better way to celebrate the Latina in you than to wear flamenco skirts and Spanish dresses come the warmer days

45. DECONSTRUCTED OXFORD SHIRTS Gorgeous Oxford shirts have always been a favorite and for a long time people believed they had worn the garment in every way possible… until now! We see the deconstructed appeal for 2016, though not all of these are work appropriate. Single sleeves bared shoulders asymmetrical necklines

46. FRINGED HEMS We have loved fringe for a while now, adoringly wearing the trend for the past few seasons with our heads in the clouds that lead to the 1970s.

47. NAUTICAL DETAILING here always seems to be some sort of nautical detailing in every season, no matter how slight it might be, sometimes too little to even be called a trend. This time around though we have some more prominent players in that field who have included everything from toggles to stripes and ropes, giving so many collections a rather interesting upscaling .

48. GORGEOUS LACE It might be in line with the more romantic fashion trends for 2016, be it Victorian or modern, Prairie or not, but the lace looks are huge on the runways and we are loving every last second of them. It appears on gorgeous romantic floral printed and side layered dresses, creating spidery halter tops that might belong on a Halloween costume if not or the beauty of the dress itself, as well as full pieces made of lace at Rodarte , which show off sleepwear as outerwear with positive delight,

49. A WHOLE LOT OF SPARKLE . Did you realize that glitters and shimmers and sparkles were all over the catwalks throughout the Fashion Weeks? We can tell you it was a hoot! From ‘20s meets the future designs seen at Lanvin in a gorgeous lilac grey dress, off the shoulders and all, to layers with Emilio Pucci , slashed skirts wrapping around the legs, metallic designs were spotted a lot making a rather futuristic and gorgeous fashion trend for spring 2016

50. A WHOLE LOT OF SPARKLE

51. THE BUTTON LOOK While it is not as in-your-face as some of the other spring/ summer 2016 fashion trends, we do see a whole lot of white buttons appear on the runways, particularly on looks which have a bared shoulder effect. This includes lines of them down the sleeves and across the chest to the side at Rosie Assoulin , all over the place looking like wedding gown buttons at Proenza Schouler , and in larger effects seen often enough on the Edun runway show. It looks like the Loewe girls are heading out to do some martial arts the way their outfits look, despite the buttons down the sides .

52. CORDED OR MARLED KNITS We love it when we find gorgeous corded knits on the Fashion Week runway shows, so it comes as no surprise that we were drooling over that stark white Prabal Gurung dress seen sashaying down the catwalk, bared shoulders and all.

53. LOOKING FABULOUS IN JEANS There are all types of different denim pieces that have appeared on stage throughout September and October, pieces and ensembles which have thoroughly grabbed our attention. We see some incredible denim outfits on the Alexander McQueen runway, floral appliques and open midriff on top and the pants with mid length cuffs, a high waist and lots of razer cuts, the jacket in line with the shoes that make for a matching ensemble.

54. THE SPORTY ATMOSPHERE The upcoming season is more about comfort and relaxed looks than anything else we feel, which includes a sportier edge such as the tie-dyed army colors on the Valentino pullover or the very bright silver track sets found on the Lacoste runway. Single piece coveralls come up on the Balenciaga runway, flailing straps around, while sports are very much on the mind at Baja East .

55. Inclusion of Zippers We see quite a bit in the zipper department on the runways for 2016, often appearing at the ends of pants both tight and looser with a tight ending. The latter format can easily be identified on the Louis Vuitton runway on the denim pieces, with similar styles appearing at Chloe on the slouchier, sportier designs. Hood by Air ensures inclusion of these trends as well, while Alexander Wang revels in it.

56. ALL TIED UP One intriguing trend noticed on the catwalk from New York to London, Milan to Paris was the idea that you can tie things up and it will look incredible. Oversized knots, bow ties, lace-ups… it’s the little and often not so little detailing that gets us here. Roberto Cavalli brought in the sunshine with a dress slashed at the side and tied up 5 times over to show skin while still remaining decent .

57. THE HOURGLASS SHAPE Showing off the waist is the latest trend and it has been in for a while now, despite the oversized garments making their own appearance on the runways .

58. STRAPPED IN Forget the flying strings, it is the straps that keep a limb immobilized or pull in the chest with a harness that has gotten our attention from the runways.

59. READY FOR A SAFARI Sporty looks aside, there are those that speak quite beautifully about the outdoors, with army prints and khaki pants, shapes and colors meant to be checking out the jungles of the African wild. Mugler sports a chicer and more sophisticated look

60. SOME PRETTY FANCY PANTS While dresses are the most common pieces seen on the runways throughout the Fashion Weeks, pants that come in sheer fabrications, in lace or cellophane treatments create just as big a buzz if not bigger. We see the gorgeous Elie Saab pieces with the darker shorts underneath black lace, while Haider Achermann pulls on leather micro shorts onto similar leggings .

61. CONTRAST STITCHING Huge on the runway was the whole contrast stitching thing, wherein we get to see the detailing in full light, the pieces standing out among all the rest. Hems don’t blend in here and darker clothing is outlined with white or light colored threads. This certainly appears on the dresses seen at Edun , off the shoulder and bared legs mandatory. Derek Lam’s shirts also have a similar appeal, with white stitching on black cloth.

62. WRAPPED UP You have the leg peeking out but it’s not too much with the wrapped up pieces that we see, something you can get away with at the office if you are careful and if they have an open enough mind about the look. Altuzarra gives us a rather startling center slit, but Andrew Gn covers it up beautifully, giving the wrapped skirt a very modest mini appeal.

63. PEEKING THROUGH TEXTURED WHITE There were the peek-a-boo black pieces of course that were big, but so is the white, and that with a lot more texture. It is all quite intricate for spring, with modern lace and broderie anglaise sheer cottons and 3D fabric details that really make things look incredible. Issa has some really nice white lace trousers for us to try on though we might keep them to the beach .

64. LOTS OF CRUSADER CAPES It was the London Fashion Week that brought in most of the capes for the season it seems, with the gorgeous additions coming in to prevent the chill in the air from getting into one’s bones. Emilia Wickstead brought in the 1970s thus, with a Hunter’s festival fringed creation, while it was a lady’s desire shown through Osman’s designs, a messenger at Burberry , and a safari woman at Eudon Choi

65. PAPERBAG WAISTS We love the cinched waists of course, but there certainly was something different about some of the skirts and pants around that region. It appears as if paper bags have been a major influence for many of the top designers. Paired with a tighter piece on top, this can actually work really well it appears, though some designers have also gone for the looser trends for spring 2016.

66. ADD A ROBE ON TOP . Many of the spring 2016 fashion trends actually had a whole lot of robe attachments happening, perhaps as part of the whole sleepwear as outerwear top trend. There is even a hashtag going around called # robelife due to this trend, a luxury piece that keeps out the chill and allows you to enjoy a day in with a fireplace and hot chocolate.

67. WIDE CROPPED TROUSERS We love the wide cropped culottes that keep appearing every other season, this time not as prominent but still as well loved. We see it at J. Crew with pleats added to the pants, striped up at Alice + Olivia with matching jacket, top, shoes and bag, laced up at Rosie Assoulin , in denim at Banana Republic, and beautifully carefree at Cynthia Rowley. We see the trend also on the Michal Kors , Mara Hoffman, Ralph Lauren, ad Rodarte runway shows, among others.

68. ADDED EMBELLISHMENTS Embroidery and embellishments appear all over and really do make the artistic looks even more attractive. There was a whole lot of minimalism involved but at times the designers went for maximum effect, ensuring we know of and clearly appreciate their craftsmanship.

69. Thanks
