What Should Be In Your Wardrobe This Year?

From 1940s classics to the punk look of the 1980s, and onward to the characteristically 2016 wardrobe must-haves, you simply can’t end the year without these stylish clothes in your closet.

Must-wear this year

If you’ve never been snapped in this year’s top trending fashion, there’s no better time than now than to own this year’s most stylish clothes. If there were anything remarkable about 2016, it is these five clothes:

#1: Cropped top and slitted skirt. These are the most sought after pairing of 2016. From the red carpet, to the clubbing scene, to the hottest vacation spots, and on the most fashionable streets of the America and Europe, everybody from the most popular celebs to the neighborhood fashionista owned a crop top and a high slit skirt this year. Well, shouldn’t you?

#2: Floral dresses. Flowers often evoke a sense of ladylike or daintiness but, not these season’s floral trend. Widely popularized by the 2016 Spring/Summer and Autumn/Fall collections of Dolce & Gabbana, it’s a different kind of florals we’re seeing — powerful and dominant yet subtly playful and elegantly sophisticated. Paired with colorful turbans, knock-out sunglasses and huge chunks of earrings, you can knock out this season’s hottest trend — Emily Blunt has!

A similar but unique take on the florals has also been noted on the Alexander McQueen runways. The prints appear to be hand-painted flowers with birds and butterflies in bright colors that serve to lighten the black background. Turn to the ever fashionable Nicole Kidman for inspiration.

#3: Cropped trousers. Whether they’re body hugging or loose, you have every reason to take a cut out of your old slacks and jeans this season. Make them trendy again by giving your old favorite pair a cut to the middle of your lower leg. Wear with plain tees and wedged slippers or gladiators and you’re all set — no need for a lot of fuss and discomfort just to wear this trend this season.

#4: Off-the-shoulder dresses and blouses. What most women are born with slender and sexy are not their waists, contrary to what most people would think, rather, it is their bony, c=well-countered shoulders and neck bone. There probably can’t be anything more feminine than a sabrina. Wear this trend long or short, the effect is the same — it’ll leave onlookers breathless at the sight of you.

#5: Uber long slitted blouses and cardigans. Simple chic is the year’s main theme in fashion. You must have already noted that a lot of plain colors and classic prints —gingham, nautical stripes and floral — have caught the eyes of the public. What makes these rather plain clothing extra special are the exaggerations in the accessories — a chunky choker, a waist-long necklace, an ankle length cardigan and blouse with a side slit showing the sides of the belly. These are pieces you will certainly have multiple, fashionable uses for.

Must-own now

There are also 5 looks every woman must always own. These pieces are not about trending fashion but rather, all about the classics you must keep a piece of and will always find the need for:

#1 Little Black Dress. Credited to fashion designer, Coco Chanel, this dress is such an exquisite concept that there is no woman with a super celebrity status that has probably never worn one before. Top tip to make the look work for you — think about where you will be using it. Once you’ve contemplated on that, make sure that the design, from the cut, and down to the garment material.

#2: A below-the-knee dress in nude. For ultimate sophistication, get a piece with a pencil cut bottom. Simply pair with a black, ankle-strapped sandals and voila! You’d be good to go!

#3: A biker’s jacket or leather jacket. Perfect for your denims and so too for your casual or even your cocktail dresses. It easily takes your serious outfit into something more playful while also demonstrating your fashion smarts.

#4: Ribbed, slitted dress. They’re great for a trip to the mall or a road trip to another state. This dress is simply that versatile and so much more!
