Spring/Summer 2014 Trend Report; Pleats, Sheer Details & The Art Of Fashion

 Pleats are in this season and may even be the skirt of Spring/Summer 2014. Metallics, chiffons, silk and sheers, this modern take on the 'librarian skirt' is easy-to-wear and the light-weight fluidity makes it perfect for those tropical summer days.

Another trend for Spring/Summer 2014 is the 'Sheer' Trend. Anything sheer will work; tops, shirts, details, skirts. However, this trend comes with a caution - Too much sheer is a no-go and one must be careful not to over-expose. A great way to wear the sheer trend (whilst protecting your modesty) is to layer different lengths or choosing pieces with sheer panels.

'The Art Of Fashion' trend had a huge presence at the Spring/Summer 2014 fashion shows, with the likes of Chanel, Celine and Prada showcasing their creative and bold designs (Click here to read my review of the Celine SS14 show). This trend is not for everyone and could easily turn into a fashion disaster if not worn right. I'm looking forward to seeing how the high-street interpret this trend - Zara already have a few pieces available.
