You’ve seen them….I know you have. They pop out when you least expect them to bringing a mouthful of fresh air and attracting all eyes. Sometimes they scare you, they shock and they mesmerize but other times, you wish you were like them : SHINING TRENDS.

It’s a mystery where do trendsetters get their inspiration, but they seem to be on top of styles everytime. It is said they don’t follow trends, they make trends and they lead. Maybe…or maybe they cheat :).

Here a few ideas to pick up some trend setter vibes.

TIPS:

1. Don’t become a copy-cat, try to show your own personal style. Wear things in a different way and create outfits that  balance your own personality and the season’s trends.

2. Get inspired from the fashion shows. You can know trends in advance and so you can focus on items that are fashion forward and that could be an investment for a couple of next seasons.

3. Visit vintage stores and choose items that fit the trends and your style, try on the craziest clothes because you never know what can be just perfect. 

4. Create  cheap-expensive outfits with a few glam accessories and some basic clothing.  For example you can create a look with a simple T-shirt from H&M matched with some Louboutins.

5. Look for jewelry and accessories with unusual detailing. These items make a statement about you and show that you don’t follow the rules. Create a set for each color or attitude (playful, serious, in love)

6. Don’t wear the same outfit. Recreate the look with other pieces and accessories. Try to follow your mood and you’ll be inspired every time.

Real women need to be fearless and powerful so, what better way to become like this, if not by wearing some man clothes. The story of the suit and white shirt has been written by many designers but, this spring this classic formal-wear has become a real statement for fashionistas. Waistcoats and tailored rolled sleeve shirts hit the runway, the red-carpet…. and even our mini - famous lives.

 There are many different styles that you should check out, but I think that the long blazer and the tuxedo-like vests create one of the hottest looks.

Supermodel Kate Moss has created a tailoring clothing line with Top-Shop and you can also find some interesting vests. You can wear the elongated tux jacket with a dress or some skinny jeans and a big belt. I will post more info about this trend, but until then I will give you with a little homework.

What do you think about this James Bond-ish look? Is the dinner jacket made to be worn both for casual and evening-wear ?
