The good old method – follow the celebs
Celebs often set trends and watching them at major award shows is informative. Celebs like Emma D’Arcy, Lady Gaga and Kristen Stewart have mastered androgynous silhouettes that blend the masculine and feminine. Celebrities such as Harry Styles are layering and mixing pieces traditionally associated with other males or females.
There’s also a lot going around wearing leather and giving it a modern twist. They may wear leather jackets paired with silky blouses or skirts. If you have leather items in your wardrobe you could start thinking about what you could pair them with to give them a modern twist.
Keep an eye on local fashion
You can support fashion designers in your local area by attending their fashion shows. Visiting local boutiques can also give you an idea of the latest designs available to you. Fashion is mostly about exploring what makes you feel confident and stylish.
Not every time what a celeb or a designer presents will work for you so knowing local fashion becomes important. You can mix a few trendy pieces with classic pieces to create fashion-forward attire. Or if you have a good fashion sense in experimenting with different things, try what celebs and fashion icons wear with your creative touch.
Conclusion
From fashion shows to the latest TV shows, and tabloids to social media influencers, there’s so much to guide on what is latest and what will fashion look like in the future. Keeping up to date with trends is not about slavishly trying to use them all in your wardrobe. It’s all about experimenting and finding out how to express your style. You have to use new trends in ways that complement your current wardrobe. It costs too much if you have to keep overhauling your whole wardrobe.
