Trendstop: Key Street Style Trends for SS 2015

Now that summer has officially arrived, discover the latest trends emerging in the world of street style, as analysed in key locations like London, New York, Milan, Paris and beyond. In each city, the most fashion-forward looks worn by directional trend-setters inspire an array of new S/S15 styling and product ideas, as spotted by Trendstop’s global team. Hot off the streets, see how these trends are also likely to develop and influence mainstream fashion, along with demonstrating fresh and exciting updates with standout clothing, creative customisation and striking accessories. This week, Trendstop presents FMAG readers with four must-have trends sourced from our Spring/Summer 2015 street style coverage, revealing new looks for men and women.

Cool in Culottes

Culottes have emerged as a key shape for womenswear this Spring/Summer, inspiring a hint of Modern Seventies chic. Wide-leg silhouettes are teamed with pieces like printed jackets, denim shirts and bikers, while single colour coordinations offer a minimal take on formal styling. Cropped lengths also work well with statement shoes.

Street style takes a youthful direction this season, as women’s fashion expresses teenage undertones with fun and vivid designs. Spring dresses are layered over jeans, while casual two-pieces stand out in bright colours. Other highlights include playful bags, cartoon sweats and long socks worn with patterned shoes.

Crystal Clear Accessories

See-through materials introduce a fashion-forward appeal to women’s street style, revamping accessories and footwear with a futuristic clarity. Boxy plastic handbags reveal their contents, as Space Age-themed booties show off glittering Lurex ankle socks. Elsewhere, pure white outfits enhance the ultra-clean feel.

Doubled-Up Denim

A key trend for men’s daywear, denim is coordinated to update casual stylings. Matched by colour and fabric, jackets are paired with straight-leg jeans or wide-leg shapes. Contrast underlays add extra interest, including pastel sweats and crisp button-up shirts. Textured coats and eye-catching accessories add a statement touch.
