GTG's Spring 2013 Fashion Trend Report

So what will you be wearing come spring? Well that really depends on your personal style, but you will be seeing a lot of the following at stores everywhere:



Top 7 Fashion Trends of 2013 (as seen in the runways of Michael Kors, DKNY, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, BCBG, DVF, Givenchy and Donna Karan)

1. Stripes
2. Black and White
3. The Short suit
4. Water inspired
5. Ruffles
6. Bermuda Shorts
7. Peek-a-boo pieces

Here are some of my favorite pieces for each trend! Enjoy and let me know what's your new favorite trend?


Seeing stripes: This spring it's all about stepping out in stripes especially if you're afraid of other prints. You should invest in a good piece that you can keep in your closet forever as stripes are timeless.

This season designers opted for something a little less traditional such as florals or pastel colors and brought out bold black and white pieces that are perfect for every season and can be achieved with any budget.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the short suit was a trend this season was of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Of course the short suit of today is a lot more tailored and fashionable than its' 1990s' equivalent. I'm loving this trend especially when pieces are mixed instead of a matchy matchy look.

The Short Suit
A palette of water colors made a splash on runways, as a lot of designers found inspiration in water and the results are beautiful hues of blues and draperies of seafoam colors.

Ruffles have been popping out everywhere especially oversized ruffles, but I'm not a big fan of this trend that's why I picked pieces that were chic and on trend but nothing that will overpower you.

Bermuda shorts are back this season and they're great because they're not only ultra flattering on just about any body type they also always give you that chic effortless polished look that every girl dreams of.

Peek-a-boo pieces are nothing short of sexy, whether you're going for the bare midriff, sheer panels or cut outs you'll have plenty of choices to keep it ultra feminine and sexy. Remember ladies, we love looking sexy not trashy!

  1. The water inspired trend and the peek-a-boo trends are probably my favorite! I am excited for warmer weather and to play with both of them...

    1. Hi Alexis: I too am obsessed with the peek-a-boo pieces, so sexy and chic. I actually kinda wish for some cooler temps now before it gets too hot in humid.

    1. I think neon is one of the few trends that actually scare me. I can only risk painting my nails in neon colors.
