 in Trends  tagged denim / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Denim worn with denim? Yes, you saw the headline correctly. This trend from the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s is once again hot on the street. Denim with denim is the hottest trend from the street for summer 2013!

Denim vests, chambray shirts and denim jackets are being shown with denim skirts, shorts and pants. This denim on denim trend has already taken the streets by storm and now many stores are starting to stock the look and prepare their displays in order to reflect summer’s hottest trend.

Denim on denim is being shown in many different ways. This trend can be worn tonal or with contrasting shades of blue. Chambray shirts can also be paired with colored or printed denim for a more subtle take on the trend.

Chambray shirts and denim jackets beg to be layered, so this is a great trend for the San Francisco Bay Area! Since the fog loves to roll in and out; especially in the summer, a denim jacket or chambray shirt is handy to have around just in case you are caught outside when the fog tumbles in from the bay. Love that!

Since denim on denim is a casual trend, this is one street trend everyone can easily incorporate into their weekend wardrobes! One word of advice, denim on denim is not really appropriate for casual Friday at the office. A denim jacket is OK, but a chambray shirt with jeans can look too casual and somewhat sloppy in a professional environment; even one that is casual or high-tech.

Now that the fall/winter 2013/2014 runway shows have ended, we have a snapshot into the upcoming trends for the cool weather season. This makes investment shopping an easier job as we head out into the shops for the spring 2013 season. One of the largest purchases a Fashionista can make for the spring season is a new handbag! Therefore, it is important to look for a handbag which will not only be fabulous for the spring 2013 season, but will work perfectly for the fall 2013 season as well.

The fall 2013 runways gave us small and medium sized handbags in rich autumn hues, deep winter colors and bright shades of cobalt blue, emerald green, yellow and red. With this color palette in mind, fall handbags from the runway were structured yet made with soft fabrications. The silhouettes included shoulder bags, clutches for both daytime and evening, hobo handbags and satchels.

With these runway trends in mind, we know that for spring 2013 we can find bright colors, we may find some autumn hues, and the size of the handbag is perfectly in line with the current season. Hobo handbags have not been in style for a few seasons, so this is a silhouette shoppers may easily find on sale! Love that! What better way to wear a new trend for fall than with a great deal!

Satchels, shoulder bags and clutches have been hot for the past three years, therefore, these styles are easy to find on store shelves right now. The most important factor in choosing a shoulder bag, satchel or clutch for spring 2013 which will offer longevity into fall/winter 2013/2014 is the color.

Look for handbags in neutral hues such as black, ivory, white, beige and shades of brown as well as bright hues. These will be the easiest handbags to find during the spring season which will carry into early 2014. To help inspire your handbag shopping at the investment level, we found a few fabulous spring 2013 handbags around the web which will be perfect for fall/winter 2013/2014!
