Denim - Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Trend

I would have to say I am a denim lover even though I only wear jeans but still, after researching into this trend which I saw on the runways for S/S 2015 I am definitely in love with all the tailored pieces, lots ripped and patched jeans. There was everything from dress to shirts and jeans, designers have totally re-designed denim in a whole new experience. One trend I am so excited to see for this year is the 70's flared vibe that coming back, and yes you know where this is going... flared jeans! To be frank I am in love with them, however I feel that I wont be able to pull them off with my little legs! But if you are a long legged friend get ready to get some high waisted flared jeans with wooden blocked heels and silk blouses. In 2014 it was all about the casual boyfriend Jean that every brand designed, some ripped, some people ripped but this year I feel that the flare could be the new boyfriend!

Theres lots of darker denim for the s/s which shocked me, as lighter and white denim are mainly seen throughout this time of year! High-waisted dark denim flares are a staple and could be a new smart daytime update on pencil skirts. My favourite denim skirts seen for this ear is the A-line button down ones, they are now seen every where on the high street from Newlook to ASOS. Alexa Chung was inspire by these skirts and made her own AG Denim collection which is flawless! You could pair these skirts with a high neck polo t-shirt to add to the 70's vibe much like the flares! Here's some of my favourites that you can get from high-street and designer, they vary from mini to knee length so there's a wide section to chose from!

The next denim trend is one that I love and that is dungarees and I actually own a pair myself! Dungarees are so much fun and easy to move about in so whats not to love! They may make you look and feel like a child as well as a factory worker but if you style it right you can get them on point! To work with the 70's style you could pair with a blouse and chunky wooden heels or wedges. I like to pair mine with a simple crop top or a bardot style of the shoulder crop top. But if were to wear them with converse's you could totally set off the 90's grunge look.

These are a few of my favourite trends to do with denim, but there is an endless list like denim dresses, suits, kick flares and girlfriend jeans. So as I've shared the trends these are a few designers that I have been loving on the Spring/Summer runways and have embraced the denim too!

So what are your guys thoughts an opinions on this trend? and is there any other trends you are loving for this year? I hope you enjoyed this post as well as found it helpful! If you have any post requests let me know below as well!

Michael Kors Spring 2015 Ready-To-Wear Collection

Michael, Michael, Michael Kors oh where do I start! This man is my most favourite fashion designers of all time, everything he designs is beyond beautiful and if I was rich enough I would buy every piece! And it will happen one day! So I thought I'd share the love with you, by showing you his Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which in every aspect blew me away. Those sun glasses in the picture below oohh I want me some of them and that girl in the back in black below kinda looks like Keira Knightley... or is that just me??

To start with Michael had a lot of inspiration behind his designs which helped with the shape, colour, texture and form of the garments and accessories he designed. Mainly he was inspired from the post war spring time in the 50's and you can clearly see the classic 50's silhouettes especially in the skirts. He wanted to convey the optimism which came about after the War, and I really think he has with the colours and prints which make his collection very vivid and sunny, which defiantly puts a smile on my face! The patterns are what I love most, they catch your eyes which the bold and vibrant colours and on patterns which have more than one colour he chose to contrast so each colour can be seen and have their own chance to shine!

“THE COLOR PALETTE IS INSPIRED BY A GARDEN COMING TO LIFE—BLOOMING WISTERIA AND DREAMY DAFFODILS, LAWN GREEN AND PRETTY PEONY PINKS, AND WHO DOESN’T DREAM ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY?”

Going on from the inspiration of the 50s he also chose this because he feels that spring is all about re-birth and what better way to represent that than the 50's as it was a new light from the war and all about optimism!

So the show started with a handful of white garments which has lace, crochet detailing, they are very simple, clean and chic which I love!

The show continues bringing out navy's and yellows which obviously completion each other so well, with some garments having leather detailing as well! Floral prints as well as strips and chequered prints also graced Michael Kors' runway effortlessly as well. Although there was lots of bright colours on the prints, garments which didn't have any prints saw a more nude natural tone some even black and white mono chrome, however all the pieces flowed together.

My favroite outfit by far was worn by the amazing Victoria Secret model Candice and she totally worked this outfit! This would be somthing I would totally wear and the leather straps which wrap around the waist to a belt round the waist. 

Let me know what your favourite outfit is from his collection and any fashion trends you are loving for spring so far!
