Short And Sweet.

You know its summer when miles of legs in short shorts are on display and on the red carpet. Shorts were the biggest trend at the recently concluded Comic-Con 2013 from Elizabeth Olsen in Balenciaga, Lily Collins in Paper London and Nina Dobrev in Sachin + Babi for the Godzilla, Sony Pictures and The Vampire Diaries Comic Con event respectively.

Whether in denim, leather and cotton, high or low waist, shorts have proven to be quite perfect for any occasion when done right. Pair them with pointy toed heels like Holland Roden, Nina Dobrev and Chrissy Teigen. For a downtime street chic look, go for a pair of ankle boots like Miranda Kerr or sandals like Naomi Watts. Short suits are also on trend at the moment as seen on Kaley Cuoco so don’t be afraid to try out the full on matchy matchy look or print. And avoid knee-length tight leather shorts as those are off.

Resort 2013

Resort wear is clothing designed for trips to sunny warm climates in winter. Designers mix a bit of the previous fall/winter silhouettes with a sneak peak into the upcoming spring summer collections. Resort is usually for people who live in cold snowy places that go for a brief retreat somewhere warm as a welcome break and designers make special clothes for these holiday places such as Caribbean beaches, tropical islands, and for boat cruises through warm tropical seas.  Designers offered up a wealth of options with their Resort collections. Here is a look at the Resort 2013 runway trends. 

Lace. The feminine fabric has gotten an updated and modern look saturated in deep pinks, black and mixed with sheer. Lace dresses are sure to win over the most androgynous of dressers.



Short Shorts. Shorts will always be a favourite for the tropical beach crowd and this time was no different. Designers made them a wide and breezy to fit into the feel of the warm retreats that the holiday places are known for.


Peplum. Peplums, a carryover from the spring summer collections has proved to be a popular trend. The fall runways demonstrated its staying power and resort confirms its ongoing appeal. From denim to printed silks, peplum is here to stay.


Sheer White. Sheer white acting as a palate cleanser to the abundance of colour and patterns seen from past seasons is a welcome touch to the resort collections. 


Embellished Collars. Statement necklaces have been the go-to solutions to spice up simple Tees and dresses but these pieces have sparkle built in them. Beaded and Bejewelled necklines popped up on Tees, blouses and sheath dresses that paraded down the runways.
