The New 2015 Style Rules

Looking for a quick wardrobe update to kick off the New Year? Want to know which sale items will see you through spring, on-trend? Then here are five quick and easy fashion makeover ways to start the New Year in style.

Update your Florals with Leafy Greens: the floral trend is going botanical this season. Try leafy prints in fresh greens, yellows and blues. Choose classic shapes to work this kooky print.

Erdem

Pick a perforated tote bag: update this classic shape with a little perforation. The structured shape makes it a smart work bag, but the new detail makes it a savvy addition to your off-duty look too – now that’s a smart January saving, two bags for the price of one!

Tory Burch Perforated Double Zip Tote Bag

Try geometric jewellery: get edgy with your accessory arsensal with geometric triangles. Whether it's angular earrings or dainty chains, you work your triangle whatever way you choose, just stick to one at a time to avoid overload.

Wrap up the new skirt: the new kilt/wrap hybrid is a must lust. The fold at the front makes it super flattering, plus you can dress this up with frilly blouses or down with your marl tee to make this trend work for you when smart or off-duty.

Zac Posen

Switch your lumberjack for gingham: the catwalk was awash with gingham checks. Wear with cigarette pants, black denim or pencil skirts – they will literally work with everything. It’s a new staple.

Finishing Touches

When thinking about the new season pieces, accessories often get overshadowed. However these final pieces are an easy way to bring an old outfit into the new season, as well as complete your ensemble.

As part of our mission to ‘sproos’ and help clients to look and feel their best, we are extremely excited for our collaboration with a small group of niche artisan jewellers under the Favery umbrella in the US to add some newness to the style scene in Bermuda. We have picked fashion forward pieces perfect for our island and beyond, and will be hosting some intimate events to share this fantastic selection of jewellery. Get in touch if you are interested in hosting with your friends or joining us.

The ladies enjoying some bubbly and a spot of jewellery shopping,

Whether it is one of the statement necklace, chandelier earrings or friendship bracelets, be sure not to forget that finishing touches also have seasonality, and here’s our guide to autumn/winter 2014 accessory favourites. 

Oversized Chain Links: Inspired by runway styles, oversized chain jewellery are both classic and tough-girl chic. These versatile pieces give everything from a basic tee to a little black dress a dose of on-trend medicine.

Looking Ahead - Spring Inspiration (already)!

With the big shows New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Week having just wrapped, we bring you our favourite wearable trends from the spring/summer 2015 runways. We expect you to give these trends some serious consideration in about eight months but in the meantime, as the weather (should) begin to cool, wrap up and think warm thoughts.

All Thing Sheer

In a move on from the super high slit of summer 2014, the new sexy look is all about showing skin through sheer panels. We saw these strategically placed demure panels in abundance on the runways at Alberta Ferretti and Versace.

Culottes

The wide leg cropped pant slipped back into style this summer and we anticipate more from them next year. Sometimes trends take a little while to blossom, but we expect more people to embrace this old-new trend as seen on the runways at Jil Sander and Sportmax.

All White

All white was a pretty common thread throughout Fashion Week. Victoria Beckham and BCBG Max Azria all showed off head-to-toe monochrome looks with their own little twists.

Seventies

The sixties is an inspiration for Fall/Winter 2014, but next spring the seventies will be the era of the season. The runways throughout the Fashion Weeks at times resembled an episode of “That '70s Show” with bellbottoms at Derek Lam and cropped flares at Louis to name but a few.

Bold Florals

It may be fair to say that florals are no longer a trend, but a classic with its own variation from season to season. Next year’s incarnation of floral patterns is all about being big and bold. Thom Brown and Michael Kors were among those inspired by the new pretty floral arrangement.

Denim

It became clear pretty early on that denim was on a power trip down the runway. Some of fashion’s biggest names, among them Burberry and Gucci have decided that next summer is having an indigo fashion moment.
