Fashion trends of last year, which will remain with us in 2016
THE WHOLE YEAR TEAM WONDERZINE ANALYZES FASHIONABLE TRENDS, tells how to apply them to life and where to buy things that best reflect these trends. Of course, many of them are pretty annoying, but some want to be left in the wardrobe almost forever. Today we list 10 trends of 2015, which will remain in demand in 2016.
Striped Things
We are equally offered to wear things with a pattern and in a strip, and in a cage, and with a floral print. The popularity of the cell and floral print has gained momentum since 2013. Curious was not even the return of the strip to the podium, but just its combination with other patterns, with the same cage and colors. It is also interesting how brands combine the most different stripes, different colors, widths and directions. The main thing that we see on the catwalks: in almost all cases, the strip goes in a pair with a strip or other bright prints. So the ability to combine different colors and prints is necessary to enlist.
Maxi length
Mini, midi, maxi - today they are all equal and easily get along in one collection, leaving the choice to us. The length in the floor in view of its impracticality is still more evening than everyday. However, this did not prevent stylists and designers from taking a fresh look at it.
Shoes with a small heel
Today, fashion brands again challenge the cult of killer heels, offering practical and comfortable shoes, including low-heeled shoes. Designers sing about maturity as one: the style of clothing characteristic of the older generation is one of the main fashion trends. They have been waiting for this for a long time, accusing the designers for worshiping the cult of youth. Today shoes with small heels, personifying practicality and restrained elegance, are back in business.
Color pantsuit
Today, the suit in the men's style again acquires its former decoration. The actual color options will be blue, green, orange, beige, dusty pink. By the way, the greatest potential is pink. There are also costumes made from atypical fabrics: velvet and lace. It is especially interesting to observe changes in a man's suit, considering the course of modern fashion on gender ambivalence.
Polo
Most often, polo was worn on weekends, for example, on a yacht trip or on a golf trip. In 1952, English tennis player Frederick Perry offered his version of the polo, and in 1972, American designer Ralph Lauren. Moreover, by the 70th the polo had become part of the obligatory Ivy League form and since then it has been firmly associated with the style of dressing "decently" and "perfectly well". Recall, at least the style of the characters of The Tenenbaum Family.

Dress over the pants
This combination of things has returned to fashion thanks to a wave of retro and a course on eclecticism in the style of the 70s. The pictures on Style.com prove: the combination of trousers with a dress can be different. The simplest thing is to wear a shirt dress over the trousers, and to undo the bottom buttons on the dress.
Beret
Beginning from zero, the berets remained at the fashionable periphery for a long time: despite the fact that they appeared almost every season at a fashion show at one or another designer, they were used, rather, only as a stylistic element. Huge fur hats in the “Russian” style, wide-brimmed hats and even (seemingly) various variations of caps made you forget about the existence of berets, leaving them outside the attention limit as something old-fashioned from a grandmother's wardrobe. The irony is that it was this cabinet that everyone needed at one moment.
Bright tights
A large-scale comeback of bright tights fell on the beginning of the 2000s: together with rhinestones and denim suits, fishnet tights returned, which are still wearing pop icons like Beyonce and Rihanna on the scene. In the second half of the 2000s, the designers decided to give us a complete blank check. Dense colored tights of very bright colors - an option for risky. His example is supported by Jeremy Scott, the Americans Proenza Schouler and many others.
Victorian things
Designers finally returned to the various lists of major trends of Victorian symbolism. Incidentally, it is just one of the facets of the already rather gloomy moods of the fall-winter 2015 season. And if for Sarah Burton, who is now in dialogue with the other world instead of Alexander McQueen, the choice of the topic does not seem surprising, then the mass of her colleagues with Victorian era worked for the first time. We understand what happened to them and how it all began.
Things with bows and knots
A blouse, skirt or pants with a bow in the daytime variant is best combined with something extremely concise. Here the main thing is balance in combination of such luxurious details as a bow and simple things. A blouse with a bow can be worn in a pair with a trapezoid skirt or even flared trousers, and pants or a skirt with a bow at the waist can be combined with a shirt or top.
