This autumn, folk fashion will once again be at the forefront of fashion design. Fashion experts speculate that as the global economic downturn continues and the unemployment rate continues to rise, we may see a shift towards smarter and more relaxed style. This autumn, it looks like folk fashion is going to play an even larger role in our fashion scene. Here are five of the key elements we can expect to see this autumn:
Ethnic Fashions: With globalization, immigration and the changing face of our communities in general, it has become more important than ever to pay attention to the diversity of our fashion. From Mumbai’s swanky, metropolitan look to Los Angeles’ beach-front look, there are many different ethnic styles and trends that we can adapt to fit our lifestyle. From Tamil folk styles to Moroccan designs, there is a new trend that is taking the fashion world by storm, it is the blending of ethnic designs with contemporary fashion and this trend is set to continue this autumn.
Simplicity: Another key element to remember this autumn is that you need to think about your silhouette. As a general rule of thumb, keep in mind that if you wear a two-piece ensemble that is form-fitting; you will be better off choosing something that is more simplistic in its design. Simple silhouettes will tend to make you look more slender, which is the latest fad in the fashion world. So, think about wearing asymmetric necklines or asymmetric body shapes that will add to the look of form-fitting apparel. You can also choose to wear prints that don’t have too much detailing so that they can be easily blended into your everyday attire. There are many different ways that you can create simple but elegant looks that work perfectly for Autumn/Winter.
