The Resort 2014 (aka Cruise 2014) is still taking place. I
think this is the collection that stays in stores for more time than
the famous Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter Collections.Because it has a variety of pieces
from swimsuits to trench coats from office wear to cocktail dresses covering
every season and every moment.
I personally believe Resort collections give the most
realistic, wearable designs. Though most of us ignore this collection thinking
these are for the people who take luxurious vacations on cruises and it is very
expensive. But now designers are targeting everyone and it seems they believe anyone
can go on a vacation. Whether this is true or false, we can always take
inspiration from anywhere and anything.
Of course we don’t have to spend hundreds and thousands of
dollars on these. But we can always observe and see where these big labels are heading
and what are the trends the top designers are trying to create using their
runway. Get Inspired! We can always find something similar in high street or in
retail fashion outlets.
I have almost checked all the collections showcased so far. I
have selected my favourite trends which have been repeatedly showcased
throughout the RESORT 2014 COLLECTION. Here the expected trends are in a
bundle.
There are plenty of Jumpsuits, Crop Tops & Culottes.
What else? Designers have re-engineered the peplum for another round.This collection seems like an engagement between Menswear
& Women wear. Yep! It has Laces, Voluminous Dresses, Maxi Skirts and
Culottes, Bold Strapped Footwear and sporty look.
Jumpsuits.
It is not going to be out of season so soon. Celebrities specially
Miley Cyrus, have already started to wear this piece.It has been spotted in almost all
the collections. So why are you still waiting? Go! Grab your piece! You can check a full post on Jumpsuits here.

Crop Tops are continued to be a strong trend for another

they are going to stay there for a little longer than expected. (Check out my

well as on street style in coming months.Chech the Cutout Designs from Resort 2014 here.

Lace.
Lace has been always the popular choice of the designers and
it will be. From head to toe covered in lace to a hint of lace near the neck
line. It is still on top in bringing out the feminineness.Check Some other Lace Designs drom Resort Collection 2014 here.

Animal Print.
Everyone loves a well depicted animal print. I have seen a range of snake
skin, zebra & ring lizard skin throughout this collection. Mostly it is
presented in Black & White, Earthy Neutral and Pastel colours.
Go Ahead! Reveal your inner wild side.

Sporty Looks.
The athletic look is still on trend. Sport inspired looks
are all over the runway. I feel like contrast seams which gives the illusion of
track pants going to make a unique office wear.

Maxi Skirts.
Maxi Skirts with a high slit is going to be a hit in this
summer. I could imagine two trends going hand in hand. A detailed crop top and
a simple maxi skirt. Sooo Chic!

Balmacaan
We all know Kate Middleton has already given a spot light
for this Balmacaan during her recent outings. (You can check the Best style
Moments of Kate Middleton here).
Through Resort 2014 Balmacaan emerges as a key outerwear piece. I feel it is
going to be a hit trend in the upcoming Fall/Winter Season.
