The 2017 Trends You NEED To Find In The Sales

Snap up sheer in the January sales a-la Dior

Sales can throw one into a massive panic. You will be asking yourself, “do I really need these black PVC trousers which are one size two small? I may slim into them once I join the gym in January when all my fitness dreams are realised- so YES because they have 10 percent off and I NEED THEM.’ The answer actually is, no you don’t need them. Here are the 5 trends you need to tap up in the sales to future proof your wardrobe for 2017. NOTE: There are NO references to florals below- now that is groundbreaking.

SASSIFY SHEER

The racier the better, the more playful the better. Dior’s Spring/Summer 2017 will be what Gucci was to 2015-2016. So shop till you drop for sheer dresses, skirts, bralets, basically ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SEE THROUGH. It’s a slapper’s paradise and best of all its all in the name of fashion.

LIMBER UP FOR LAME

Believe it or not the Turkey isn’t the only one who needs wrapping up in foil. Lame is great for the party season but come spring/summer 2017 you are going to sashay into the club/office/corner shop, 1980s style. From the ultimate pink disco at Gucci to the futuristic Isabel Marant the soiree staple will be shimmying well into next summer.

OPT FOR OP ART

Monochrome is a perennial favourite but come 2017 it’s opting for an optical approach. Those with visual sensitivity should avoid otherwise look out for bold stripes, snazzy swirls and the old polka dot. Top points for those who can locate a playful pleated number or any drastic draping a-la Louis Vuitton.

THINK PINK

I couldn’t resist using that very basic fashion journalist line- because let’s face it it’s almost the Christmas break and it does what it says on the tin. From acid to girly, pink takes on many tones for next year. However steer away from ‘frothy’ interpretations and instead give pink some serious power by looking out for strong silhouettes and avoiding anything twee.

MEDAL WITH METAL

All that glitters will still be golden come next year. Just ensure your heavy metal pieces are given a relaxed restyling with sliders or if you really want to get fresh (Prince) with ’17, team with a baseball cap- Karl Lagerfeld always has the best ideas.

REWORK WINTER WHITES

Box fresh whites will be freshened up with a sporty spirit. However if dressing like a martial arts instructor isn’t your thing (SEE DIOR FOR REFERENCE) then use a more utilitarian approach by making sure your purchases pack some serious pockets.

All that is left to say is stay safe our there, sales shopping is basically the first world’s version of warfare. Wardrobe Warfare, if you will.
