Spring and Summer 2013 Fashion Trends Preview


The northern hemisphere is only just revelling in the start of summer 2012, and to those in the southern hemisphere warm weather seems a distant dream. But fashion is ever looking ahead. It’s never too early to be informing yourself about the looks that will influence 2013′s fashion trends, especially where key investment pieces are concerned. And so, without further ado, we bring you a preview of what you can expect to see trending come spring / summer 2013.


Belted Floral Dresses

Moving away from corporate looks for the office, spring 2013 offers up the belted floral dress as a 9-5 staple. Expect a feminine, cinched in shape and longer hem (think above the knee to midi length). Work-appropriate it may be, but we expect to see the ladylike belted floral dress worn for many an occasion through the season.

Collarless Blouses

Whether high-necked or plunging, soft collarless blouses replace stiff business shirts for a sensual Mediterranean mood.

Document Clutch

With new technology comes a change in fashion. Slimline document clutches allow an ipad or small laptop to be carried in style, but also double as a sophisticated accessory for day or night.

Reworked Cowgirl Boot

It’s been a few years since cowboy boots stormed onto the fashion scene; now for spring / summer 2013 they’re back with a modern twist. Expect the trend to come alive again but morphing with other trend details like metallic leather, clear plastic, cutaways and reptile skin.

The Luxe Cuff

The new arm candy moves from solid metal to more embellished and luxurious takes. Predictions forecast chain details, colour accents and jewel studding.
