No matter how much the world changes, our need for beauty and
great fashions will never change. Humans need beauty in every shape and
form, which is what makes following the latest trends so much fun.
What are the exciting new trends we should be watching for in 2013? Let's take a look.
Dresses: The Boxy Dress Style
One
of the trends we're seeing this year is a change in the overall female
silhouette, as expressed in dress styles. We're moving beyond the tight,
figure-hugging cuts we've seen in recent years to choices in prêt a
porter dresses that have a larger, looser feel. This look can be seen in
designs coming from haute couture houses as well as in street style.
This
type of loose, easy to wear style is the kind of design innovation the
fashion industry loves. The boxy, ready to wear look moves differently
and works well with accessories, like sparkling, chunky jewelry and
sleek leggings that show off every angle of her feminine curves. Wow!
Look for this trend in the best fashion magazines and fashion
photography.
Dresses: The Cinched Look
Another take on the
female silhouette is the cinched waist dress style. This cut plays up
the waist in a figure flattering way, so it's a great look on every kind
of woman. Fashion designers are all over this cut, so it's a style that
can be seen on the catwalk in New York and in Paris!
Dresses: Dressed up in Velvet
Another
highly attractive trend in dresses is the velvet dress. Velvet is a
woman's fabric; it's elegant, warm and can really be dazzling,
especially when it's accessorized.
A mid-calf length velvet dress
with a plunging neckline is a can't miss look for evening, especially if
the neckline reveals a hint of lacy lingerie. Velvet can also be a
great vintage fashion, as a dress in this fabric blends beautifully with
vintage touches like ankle strap shoes and vintage jewelry. Vintage
watches look great with velvet as well.
Dresses: Big Buttons and Plaids
Clothing
for women takes another fascinating turn in the trends we're seeing
towards textures and patterns. The mode industry may take a measure of
where fashion is headed by studying the way details like large buttons
are showing up in sleek dresses.
Plaids are showing up in
interesting ways too, in professional looks and casual ensembles. Some
shows have highlighted plaids in asymmetrical combinations, with layers
of patterns creating an intriguing effect that's as attractive as it is
impressive. Some plaids are even showing up in sports wear, in jackets
that offer solids on one side and plaid trim around the neck and edges.
No matter where it turns up, plaid remains a wow look for 2013.
Teens Fashion
New
looks for teens are turning up for 2013, and the news is all great for
the younger set. Today's fashion conscious girls are combining some of
the best clothing choices, like military style jackets in organic
materials, with more feminine pieces like ankle length dresses in bold
black and white stripes. Pleated skirts and leggings are back, and they
look great paired with tees and cotton tanks tops in wild patterns or
even in leather.
Jeans of course remain a fashion constant in
active wear for teens, and these always-in pants blend beautifully with
her favorite choices in tees or dressier tops.
When that teen
wants to dress up by modeling a look that has major impact, she may want
to embrace the trend toward sweet dress up dresses in ultra hot pink,
combined with shoes and clutches in bold black and white. These are
can't miss choices for the teens of today!
Spas & Salons
As
trends in clothing evolve, so do the trends we're seeing in the spa and
salon industry. As always, salons serve the feminine instinct towards
beauty, and women who want to experiment with some of the newer looks in
cosmetics should head to their favorite salon for a makeover. A once a
year makeover by a talented make-up artist is a great way to really play
with the new beauty trends and see what works.
This year's runway
looks include more natural colors, with foundations in subtle earth or
neutral tones, with very natural/neutral lip colors. Make-up in these
natural looks, however, is going side by side with more flamboyant
choices, like sequined, shiny eyelids and dark, earthy eye shadow.
What's the right beauty choice? The right choice is what truly flatters
the woman in question. A fun makeover session may be just the right way
to find her perfect look for 2013.
Trends in Hair
Salons are
also the place for discovering new trends in hair design, and this year
we're seeing some real changes in styles. The pixie cut is back, and
we're seeing this look worn beautifully by some of Hollywood's hottest
stars. The pixie look is a great wash and wear, easy care style that
works well with an oval, round or angular shaped face. Women who go with
a pixie cut should experiment with bolder eye shadows and liners, to
draw attention to this key beauty asset.
The Evolution of the Spa Treatment
Finally,
trends in fashion and culture affect the way we relax and find relief
from stress, and the spa industry has responded to these changes with
new ways of serving clients. As our world has become more fast-paced,
hectic and driven by electronics, spa treatments are gearing ever more
towards healing massages, and even using more "earth" geared treatments,
like mudpacks. These soothing, treatments bring stressed clients relief
by getting them more in touch with the healing power of touch, and of
nature.
