Whether you are a seasoned fashion veteran or just starting out, if you have an interest in South African fashion trends you will be interested in the information I will provide you with below. First of all, it is important to remember that when it comes to South African fashion there are numerous different styles and designs and each represent a unique aspect of the country’s culture. When you are studying current fashion trends, you must understand this because as a person studying the trends you must understand the culture behind the designs.
The designs that are currently taking the world by storm are the hip hop look and the tribal look. Hip hop is represented by oversized jeans and oversized tees which give the look of being extremely popular with a younger crowd and which represent a much needed break from the more traditional Western styles of clothing that many people in the West to wear on a daily basis. If you ask someone in the streets of Johannesburg to describe their favourite pair of shoes they would most probably say “boyfriend” or” Adidas”. The tribal look is a much more unique style and represents an aesthetic taste that has grown over the last few decades. Most people who wear tribal clothing are Mwekwe tribesmen who hunt wild goats and gather wood to make traditional jewellery.
As you can see, South African fashion trends are quite exciting and although the designs may differ slightly from one area to another, the overall trend is quite similar to many other countries across the globe. With the current global economic climate it is vital that people learn to be responsible with their spending and whilst this may seem difficult due to the current state of the economy, it is possible to create a budget that helps you manage your spending and still purchase quality items of clothing. With some research and attention you should be able to find a high quality brand that offers affordable prices and also manages to capture the very best of the latest fashion trends. You should always keep in mind that if you do decide to buy something that seems to be on the trend for a short period of time you should only buy one item at a time. This will help to ensure that you do not go over the budget and you will always have your original piece of clothing as opposed to having to buy a new one.
