Resort 2014 trend for Notrix design
Words by Popo
Although
the holiday slashes party season ends, and sometimes we might get the post-
vacation- blues (the type of discomfort that when you return to reality, get
back into your normal routine of work and daily life from a long long pleasurable
holiday). In order to overcome the post-
vacation- blues, we need to set some tone and shine the street! It’s about time to rewiring your wardrobe and let
us uses fashion to make a statement and welcome 2014! Get a head start on the season to come with
our trend highlights for resort 2014 that is good for day and night, workday or
weekend: crop top, blue denim, and the bold, graphic print.
Crop
of the top
All ranges of
crop top have been exposed for the past few seasons. And yes, midriff is making a comeback this
season, again. Some girls are terrifying
about it, but there’s no fear in fashion! A lot of us spend five days a week, 8 or
longer hours a day in a corporate office, so some may think a crop top really
isn’t a worthwhile investment for the wardrobe.
But here’s the tip for getting over the fear and how to wear it
smart. It’s very simple, just remember you
don’t have to be brave to bare, you just have to wear it smart! You can wear it right by pairing up with a
high- waist full skirt. It only gives
just a glimpse of skin and it can hide our little belly. So if you are a dainty working lady, try the
crop top trend with high- waist bottoms or skirt.
Bear in mind,
crop tops don’t have to bare it all! (Unless you want to show them off) instead of more abs- flashing, showing a
glimpse of skin or layer proposals for abbreviated skirts can look way sexier
and you’ll get that barely- there sliver of exposed midriff.

Double
Blue
There’s
one fashion rule that never fades out of fashion, and that is your denim! Denim
is sure one of the must- have for our wardrobe, and I can’t think of anyone
that does not own a pair of denim jeans?
I call it the ‘without so much effort’ look but yet, still look stylist
and chic. Girls, look at the latest
lineups from labels like Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Christopher Kane, Jason Wu
and Jean Paul Gaultier brimmed with casual yet cultivated, light washed denim
looks. Where to start? Try black darker blue jeans/ skirt and a blue
denim jacket is a good place to start when experimenting with double
denim. The change in colour from top to
bottom means you will get a subtle double denim look that most people won’t
even realize. Or, if you’re feeling a
bit adventurous you can match the acid wash jeans with an acid wash jacket so
you wear the same kind of colour palette head to toe. To finish off, match it with a pair of pointy
high heels and there you go! - An effortless weekend look!

Print
illusion
Working prints
in the colder months is a fantastic way to put a spring in your step, and there
is a clever but simple way to make them relevant to the rest of your winter
wardrobe: look out for prints on darker backgrounds. This could be black, navy,
olive green, burgundy red - whichever colours you feel good in – then just go
for the brightest (or most subtle!) designs you like. You can try different abundance graphic and
bold print for Resort 2014, exciting to try mixing different scales of prints
in one ensemble. Fear about prints that
would make your body looks too big or too small? Here’s the theory for wearing print: Small makes you big and big prints makes you
small. For example, you can wear a small
repetitive prints top to emphasis your curves (because small prints can make a
part of your body look larger as more prints fit onto one area). Also, it can maximize your assets and balance
out a larger lower half. In the other
hand, larger prints will make your body look smaller – so why not use this to
flatter an area in a bright, uplifting and feminine way? Of course, these guidelines are only theories
– look for prints you love and try them out.
Rules are made to be broken and if a print makes you feel good, it
works!
