As a dedicated follower of fashion tracking trends is a daily activity. Even with Fashion being a fast-always-changing society it has solid moments that come once in the fall and once in the spring it’s called fashion week. These define what people will wear in the upcoming season- or the trend setters for daily wear. The looks that made the ‘in list’ where flower child based designs; X-factor, Orange Is the New Black, and Fringe Binge.

The first trend jetting off the runway is the romantic (or Maybe cold shoulder? ) X-Factor dress, blouses. The design in gives a dreamy, classic, romantic kind of look. The design is based off a halter top, now however the piece has sleeves that start few inches below the shoulder and seems to sit loosely by drooping down at a thirty to forty-five degree angle. This causes the dress or blouse to give the upper body an illusion of a ‘X’. The designers that showed this look where no tiny names Givenchy and Proenza Schouler repeated this design throughout their whole collections. The fact that two big names put the design into their shows guarantees that they will show up in the spring/summer of 2016, and whether it's by celebrities wearing them as the temperature rises or cheaper brands create knock offs they will be here in the spring.

I am not talking about the hit television show Orange Is the New Black becoming a spring trend. The ever so bright colour of prison jumpsuits is trend for Spring/Summer of 2016, and honestly they do give the ever so chic black clothes in people’s closet a run for their money. The colour is in everything from hair to shoes. The colour even though bold has been seen to still look stylish enough to be used in street-wear. There also seems to an overlapping sense of 1960’s and 1970’s inspiration among the designers for the future of style.

The trends continue to with the vintage binge of fringe. This trend has been going on for a few season now, but this time the more dramatic it is the better. It’s than before dreamier because the fringe is on less structured shapes, and it's used more to give a organic easy feeling. That easy going feel ties into the flower child underlying tone in S/S 2016.
When seasons have a underling style that is easy it will more than likely become a trend because of its sense flow, stylability, and marketing potential. The appeal of the flower child style meets majority of criteria for becoming a trend, it creates a sense of cohesion, it mixes and matches with easy (making the morning so easy and lovely), and magazines can make issues relate throughout the whole thing. The public find trends through magazines by watching what their favorite celebs are wearing, and then it makes people want it more and before you know it everyone has something related to the trend.
