Menswear Trends for Spring 2014

Posted on October 11, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Fashion

During the Spring, there are many trends that always repeat: brighter colors, lighter fabrics, looser more relaxed fits, and pastels. These trends cross the gender lines. Spring just makes people want to be brighter, lighter, and more carefree and clothing is often used to relate that feeling.

For Spring 2014, the designers pretty much agreed on the standard trends and added a few extra; such as foliage, different layering techniques, and the color white. I know, I know, it’s only October, but it’s never to early to start looking ahead for the next fashion season.

Menswear Trends for Fall 2013

Posted on October 10, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Fashion

Despite the fact that it’s October freaking 10th and it’s been at least 80 degrees for the past two weeks, it’s Fall. Fall is usually when you get to wear boots, sweaters, corduroys, and tweed. You know what I’ve been forced to wear lately? Shorts, sundresses, and sandals. I really need it to be Fall already. Like now!

Rant aside, this is my Manly Man Men week and I am moving on to Menswear trends for Fall (if you hadn’t read the title). This fall some trends that dominated the runways were: boxy jackets, biker looks, monochromatic outfits, double-breasted jackets, and an update on the 3pc suit featuring vests or v-neck cardigans. Everything kinda had a stylish city commuter vibe.

Red Hot Fire

Can we talk about how drop dead GORGEOUS Nicole Kidman looks in the Jimmy Choo ads? I can barely focus on the shoes. Barely. I do still manage to check them out and they look fabulous as well.

Lela Rose Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 19, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Another lovely collection from the lovely Lela Rose. She even has a lovely name. It’s just all so lovely.

Okay, I’m done. The dresses, to me, are the highlight of this collection. She knows how to showcase a woman’s body magnificently.

Okay, what I loved about this collection:

Boxy silhouettes
Floral jacquard prints
Sleeveless jumpsuits and dresses

What I didn’t love:

Everything else

It was just so so to me. However, the website does offer some ~~pricey~~ lovely handbags and womenswear.

Temperley London Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 18, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

I love Temperley London. The ethereal gowns and wispy chiffon blouses are beautiful. Nip slips aside, they’re gorgeous articles of clothing. Alice Temperley knows how to make amazing pieces that you want to wrap yourself up in. Her Spring 2014 ready to wear collection, shown at London’s Fashion Week didn’t disappoint. From the natural, berry lips to the floral and animal print mashups, it was all breathtakingly lovely. Don’t you just love the ladylike dress and jacket combos?

Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 14, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

After looking at all of these collections, it all starts to run together sometimes. That’s why I love Rebecca Minkoff. Her collection has a sporty, fresh, vibrant feel to it. It makes me yearn for the Spring when Fall hasn’t even started yet. And I love the Fall. I also loved that the models all carried purses and strutted down the runway like they were about to keep right on walking out onto the sidewalk. Well played Rebecca.

Gregory Parkinson Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 13, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Part flower child, part 90’s Liv Tyler, this collection pulls together knits, lace, and floral motifs like no other. There’s something very pure and refreshing about it. The white lace top paired with the floral shorts is my favorite. It’s simple, clean, and elegant.

Jason Wu Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 13, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Jason Wu knows how to make a lady look good. This collection creates a look that has a tough exterior , yet it’s made with soft, shimmery fabrics. Kind of reminds me of Angelina Jolie pre-Brad Pitt and kids.

Nicole Miller Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 13, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

I’ve always loved Nicole Miller’s clothing. Her collections are always a little edgy, very stylish, and somehow encompass all the different personality quirks I have. If I want to look refined, yet tough, I may choose the leather leggings, chiffon blouse and embroidered jacket look. Seeking a more demure look, any of the dress or skirt and top combos would work. It’s all very good and very wearable.
