The real trends for this spring 2019
21st March 2019 - Aina Matamoros
FINALLY, SPRING IS HERE. Better and warmer weather (although I live in Barcelona and it’s sunny every day and we really do not have a tough winter – even though it is for me, as the daughter of fire), flowers everywhere, bugs everywhere… The sun shines and everyone is just happier, I guess. And to celebrate the first day of the most beloved season (FYI: not for me, though. Summer is the best of everything. That said let’s continue) here is THE LIST of the REAL fashion trends that are going to rule the floweriest time of the year.
1. Satin, Satin, Satin – No, we are not talking about Nicole Kidman’s character in Moulin Rouge (someday I will because it’s one of my favorite movies of all time). We are talking about this silkish and shining fabric we all have been adoring so much lately (and during the last year, too). Dresses and midi skirts are the top clothes we can find made of satin, but this year, there are also shirts, pants and even kind of change of season jackets. Colors like light blue, pink, green, yellow and green are the stars. This trend is specially adopted on the streets more than on the runway.

2. Shine bright like a Neon – it started glowing unexpectedly last season and this spring neons are here to stay. Green, yellow, pink and orange are a must have: if you do not own a neon top by the end of next week I am sorry baby but you are out. Jump in the funniest trend and add a little color to your look, you will be thankful for that, trust me (Yes, this is one of my favorite trends).

3. Put a pearl hairclip on it - And voilà you are the most glamorous girl in the room. It may seem a little old fashioned, but this simple hairclips do really raise your look and add a luxurious touch to it. Pearls are related to Chanel, one of the most fashionable and luxurious brands of all, and also to the uniqueness and luck to find them inside a seashell under the sea. This trend can be mostly seen and found all over Street Style: it is the must-have accessory of the season. Also, other 90s-style types of hair clips, bobby pins, double barrettes, and even hairbands are really on trend this spring. So dare to play with your hair and make a difference.

4. Did you say… flowers? - Yes, we did. How groundbreaking, uh? Flowers, for spring, who would have thought of it..? Of course, I am messing with you. Flowers are THE SPRING TREND THAT WILL NEVER EVER DIE. Flowers bloom in spring, they are in their highest potential and super beautiful, so we like to reflect it and wear them in our clothes. Of course, the timeless floral dress is a must in every woman’s closet. If you have a girlfriend that does not own a floral dress, run away, she is hiding something or comes from another planet. Also, floral prints are not only restricted to dresses (wow, right?), but designers use them in pants, shirts, jackets, skirts...

5. Feathers? YES, I DO! – One of the biggest and trends (and most wonderful and amazing in my opinion) are feathers. Feathers everywhere! Especially in accessories, like big earrings, small purses, and shoes, but also in splendid dresses and tops. The brand The Attico was one of the first to introduce feathers to its designs in a very strong way. To wear feathers makes you feel delicate yet wild, floating in a sea of softness yet walking self-confidently in a unique statement dress. Feathers are awesome and only awesome daring girls like us are ready to rock them. Anyone who wants to make me the happiest girl on the universe, please send me the Attico feathered dress or the top in the pictures below. I will give you all my heart and I will owe you my life forever. Thanks.

6. To die for Tie-dye – I am not a big fan of the tie-dye clothes, but it does have a point and it’s very spring-like for all the colors and happy attitude that transmits. For me, this mood can be too happy, like carefree, which I do not identify with, but it also recalls a period of liberation for the society. It is so perfect for the upcoming Coachella and other almost identical festivals.

7. Cycling shorts – we were all afraid of this moment, ladies, but bike or cycling or whatever shorts are really a big thing now. They had been coming into our lives during the past years through the Kardashians and other particularly styled celebrities; they started appearing in fashion shows and hit the fast fashion shops quickly; and now, they are everywhere. TBH I have to say that they do look good in some looks, even pretty stylish and smart, but you do have to be very stylish and be able to pull off everything to rock them and find the right outfit. All these models wearing bike shorts do look kind of ridiculous most of the time… Moreover, some brands added color and prints to them and that is really dangerous… We will see where it goes… I do really want to try them on and see if I can pull them off. I will keep you posted!
