The leading designers and fashion brands offer to get back to basics in terms of color during the Spring Summer 2013 season, so leave the bold florals in the past as the monochromatic trend takes fashion by storm. According to the free dictionary monochrome could be defined as “a picture, especially a painting, done in different shades of a single color”.

Since we are used to abundance of soft pastels and bold neons as well as the beautiful floral prints it might seem that the monochrome trend is boring and plain. However it allows easy mixing and matching of different pieces as well as experimenting with patterns.

How to Wear 2013 Monochrome Trend

Combining black and white is a classic styling method, however it has lost its attractiveness the last couple of seasons. Owing to Marc Jacobs, this trend makes a big comeback during the Spring Summer 2013 season. Finding inspiration in the bold sixties, major fashion designers turned their attention to the black and white trend, which could be easily incorporated both into the casual and business-styled looks.

During the coming season we will see an infusion of the monochromatic patterns like polka dot, stripes, zigzags, checks, zebra and more that will be offered in a variety of ways: long and lean or short and sharp. Besides looking chic and trendy, monochromatic looks allow easy accessorizing. Just think about it: you can pull out a cool look by simply combining a monochrome dress with a statement bag in a bright palette to bring a splash of color to your effortless look.

Moreover, monochrome perfectly suits different occasions and events. Go for the monochrome dress to attend a wedding celebration, this way you will impress everyone with the sophisticated and classy style without a fear of outshining the bride. Wear monochrome to the office for the chic yet professional look that could be easily transformed into the outgoing appropriate wear with the help of bold accessories and high heeled shoes. Planning a lunch with your girlfriends? There couldn’t be a better choice than a monochromatic ensemble.

When styling your monochrome outfit try to keep it edgy. Consider picking the garments in lighter tones which are more appropriate in the warmer weather. Make sure to incorporate the monochrome trend not only into the clothing and accessories, but also into your makeup, which could be expressed through the striped or dotted nail art or even black lipstick, if you are daring enough.

Black and white blend is a truly timeless combination that is beyond the trends and fashion, but this season it is going to rock as never before.

Vests and How to Wear Them

1. Belt it up

One of the ways to highlight your waistline, while you are wearing a vest is to use a belt. Make sure that the belt matches the texture and color of your vest. It is best to combine those two with a thin belt. If the vest is too plain, the belt is best way to introduce patterns or prints.

2. Office vs Casual

To demonstrate how versatile vests are, try wearing one to the office accompanied by a simple blouse and a pencil skirt. Later on, switch to casual style wearing a vest over a dress, which has to be at least one inch above knee. See, how different it looks in both occasions?

3. Oversized Vests

Oversized vests go really good with skinny pants and huge tops. The vest is compensating the shapeless top, while giving the form to the overall silhouette. It looks best if vest colors are matching those of pants.

4. Go Denim

Denim would never go out of fashion! In this case, denim vest would look just gorgeous with a simple cut dress in floral print. Try accessorizing with leather bracelets or floral accessories as well.

5. Vests + High Waist

Short vests look really gorgeous in combination with high waist pants. This is a very elegant outfit, and is seen both on the runways and at the red carpet events. It is best if the vest design matches the pants.

It’s comfirmed! The Chanel’s strange bag with a hoola hoop instead of regular handles will hit the stores this Spring. The oversize item has quickly drawn attention as the onlookers speculated on wearability and purpose. Karl lagerfeld explained to DailyTelegraph:

It’s for the beach. You need space for the beach towel. And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it.

Although a minimized version (24 centimeters) is much more wearable it won’t fit a towel or hold your things while on the beach that’s fo sure. And it will cost you $2,400.

Among other news on weird accessories. Celine’s ‘furkenstocks’ will also hit the stores in Spring and will retail at Barney’s for $895. The slippers with fur soles recieved much attention on social media sites just like the hula hoop bag, hence will be offered in stores come Spring 2013.

What do you think about the hula hoop bag? Would you want a full-sized version?  And what do you think about that ‘furkenstocks’ footwear?

Coat Belt

Coat belt is not only a great way to define waist  but also to accessorize your winter look. Opt for a wide statement belt that goes well with your coat and creates a neat stylish look and silhouette.

Statement Gloves

Long leather statement gloves are not only stylish but will also add another type of fabric texture to your look. If you’re brave enough put on some bracelets over them, if not just sport with a coat with 3/4 sleeves.

Outerwear Collar

An outerwear collar can too be a great addition to your coat. It doesn’t have to be fur, it could be leather or feather-y, studded or bejewelled. Decorate your coat’s collar with beads, studs, or jewels to get more glamorous look.

Chunky Necklace

A chunky necklace can be seen from afar so don’t be afraid to wear it over your turtleneck or sweater. Just make sure the colors look good together and the necklace fits with the rest of your outfit.

For a quick and simple accessorized look use eyewear, brimmed hats, berets, brooches, bags, and scarves.

Hat Trends for Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013

Hat Trend #1: Fur hats
You may think that fur is quite predictable when it comes to winter fashion, and of course you will be right. But no one can deny that fur (either genuine or fake) is beautiful and luxurious which makes it popular with women of all ages and fashion tastes. This and some other factors known to designers only have predetermined the fact fur hats will be a great hit during the Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 season.

Fur hats of the Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 fashion season come in a variety of colors. There are hats in dark and neutral tones which are similar to natural fur shades, or bright and eccentric hues which are designed to attract attention.

Shapes will differ as well. You can try huge mounted hats like in Marc Jacobs’ Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 range or smaller and more elegant Russian-style fur hats like in Temperley London’s collection.

How to wear: Fur hats are quite versatile when it comes to wearability. You don’t have to be travelling to the Antarctic region to wear them. There are almost no restrictions. You can wear fur hats with leather pants, jeans, velvet skirts or prints, with nearly any style of clothing and footwear. For inspiration look at Issa and Rachel Zoe’s collections.

Where to wear: Any place you like or need to go.

Hat Trend #2: Cowboy Hats
Western style is not very popular with fashionistas. We do love cowboy boots and shirts sometimes, but that is usually all. However, cowboy hats are going to play a significant role in the new fashion season.

How to wear: Wear your cowboy hat with a cropped jacket and leather gloves, any outfits with zippers will also work. Opt for brighter colors and edgy accessories.

Where to where: Of course cowboy hat will look ridiculous on your way to office but it will be just right at a music festival or a road trip across the country.

Hat Trend #3: Cloche hats
Cloche hats are super feminine. They have come to us from the 1920s and brought elegance and sophistication our fashion era lacks. We all admire gender bending fashion now but returning to our true selves is always good.

How to wear: Wear a cloche hat with womanly dresses, skirt suits, trench coats and chic coats. Add court shoes and classic high boots as well as a pair of leather gloves to your outfit to look smart.

Where to wear: Cloche hats look best at holiday parties and weddings but can be as appropriate at cocktail parties and unofficial gatherings.

Hat Trend #4: Fedora hats
Fedora hats are probably the most versatile hats ever invented. First designed for men in the 19th century, now fedoras are unisex and can be worn with everything.

How to wear: Fedora hats look great with any kind of clothing. They can look feminine if you wear a printed dress or they can look androgynous when you are in trousers and a shirt.

Where to wear: Anywhere, any occasion and any place. Fedoras are always appropriate and look good on anyone.

Hat Trend #5: Top Hats
It may sound surprising but top hats will also be trendy during the Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 fashion season. The hats, which in previous decades were worn only as accessories for drama costumes, have made their way to modern fashion and can be seen both on the runway and in streets.

How and where to wear: Top hats are hardly versatile but they will be just in place at the opera or a themed party. You can also experiment with wearing it to a street, but in this case make sure the focus is on the hat and nothing distracts from it. Don’t wear a tuxedo with a top hat.

Hat Trend #5: Gaucho hats
If top hats are hard to pull off, you will have no problem in using a gaucho hat to complement your look. Gaucho hats are stylish and exquisite, and they are incredibly feminine, too.

How and where to wear: Gaucho hats are not normally worn in streets and are more preferred to be donned to polo racing events or occasions similar to those. However, every new season brings new rules and that means during Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 season you can wear your gaucho hat in a few different ways. Designers pair gaucho hats with strapless cocktail dresses and austere trouser suits. But you can always try something bolder.

Nicole Scherzinger Does Cosmopolitan UK September 2012 Issue

Looking absolutely stunning on the cover of Cosmopolitan UK September 2012 issue wearing a sparkling magenta minidress, Nicole Scherzinger shared that she has a lot of things to value in her life. And it is not only her head-spinning career, but also her relationship with mother, her friends, and of course love. Speaking about her mother the star said:

My mom is my everything. Recently she came to the UK and I took her to an X Factor audition in Newcastle. It was the first stamp on her passport. That was really special. I thought it was going to be too much for her because it was a short trip but she was so excited!”

She also commented on her friends, who make her life more interesting and exciting:

I love people but I tend to be shy and stay within my little circle. I roll with the same crew- they get me and they’ve been there for me through the good and bad. My sister is in our group too. We speak pretty much every day. It’s important to confide in friends- when you’re confused or feel alone they pick you up. We just went to Mexico and we had so much fun. One friend was so pale- she was like, ‘I gotta get some sun!’ Then she was beetroot-red by the end of the day and we were laughing so much.”

Talking about her past in Pussicat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger told Cosmopolitan:

I learned how to accept myself. There was nowhere to hide in those outfits! And it was cool to be in a girl group; it’s empowering when you’ve got a sister to back you up.”
