Either in a classic printed paisley or a simple block colour. The most common trends are in black and white or red. This year many celebs were seen sporting bandanas in their hair or around the necks, maybe it’s secretly not a fashion trend and actually a code for the different A-list gangs. Just a thought.
Circle Sunnies
The ultimate Hippy sunglasses, worn back in the day by the greats such as Elton John and John Lennon these circular sunnies are making a huge comeback. Revive the vintage look and embrace your inner flower power. Many celebs were seen wearing oversized versions.
Fringe
Fringe has been around for years, let’s not forget the roaring 20’s when everyone was shaking their tasselled dresses out on the dance floor. Then again in the 70s it was cool to look like you had walked out of western with a fringed suede jackets and fringed shirts. This fringing is everywhere; on bags, shorts, dresses, tops and under the arms. Everyone is fringing out.
Crotchet
No longer something we associate as a pastime for old ladies, crotchet is everywhere. Seen in dresses, tops and shorts it’s the trendy way to show a bit of patterned skin.
Bomber jackets
The Bomber Jacket was first brought to life around World War II, made out of leftover parachute silk and other materials, how resourceful and retro! This year the revival of the Bomber Jacket is a strong one, having seen many must-have styles showing up on the fashion runway, from the likes of Chloé, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. No wonder it’s been one of the go-to accessories to your outfit this year at Coachella. It’s sporty and chic and makes you outfit that little bit more retro.
