New York Fashion Week has come to a close, so before we head off to London, GLAMOUR brings you the biggest fashion trends for SS17 as seen on the runways of the Big Apple.
Sheer as seen at Baja East, Jason Wu and Tommy Hilfiger
The trend: Sheer
Why we love it: The see-through trend is the perfect excuse to flaunt what you’ve got without being too racy.
How to wear it: You can go bold by exposing plenty of skin like Kim Kardashian or you can incorporate sheer in the most modest of ways by layering a shirtdress under a see-through piece.
Cut-outs as seen at Cushnie Et Ochs, Jonathan Simkhai and Proenza Schouler
The trend: Cut-outs
Why we love it: Perfect for the spring/summer season, cut-outs give you that little bit of extra room to cool down. Their decorative element is an added bonus!
How to wear it: Opt for sexy side cut-outs on a slim fitting dress or keep it simple by only showing some shoulder.
Metallics as seen at Phelan, Jason Wu and Son Jung Wan
The trend: Metallics
Why we love it: We all need a touch of sparkle, shimmer and shine in our wardrobes!
How to wear it: Go all out by rocking a metallic party dress for a night on the town or tone it down by pairing metallic accessories with your workwear look.
Slip dresses as seen at Alexander Wang, Noon by Noor and Rebecca Minkoff
reigns
The trend: Slip dresses
Why we love it: Does it get more ’90s than this?
How to wear it: A T-shirt or sweatshirt under a slip dress is the current style choice for fashionistas, including runway queen Kendall Jenner. Also very popular: velvet slip dresses.
Bra as tops as seen at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Brock Collection and Victoria Beckham
The trend: Bras as tops
Why we love it: It’s a continuation of the underwear-as-outerwear trend. Comfortable and chic, what’s not to love?
How to wear it: Paired with a jacket or blazer, you couldn’t be more en vogue.
Deep plunging necklines as seen at Akris, DKNY and Marchesa
The trend: Plunging necklines
Why we love it: Designs from Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier and Brandon Maxwell this season prove it’s still one of the sexiest looks in the most understated of ways.
How to wear it: Low cut suit jackets and red carpet inspired gowns are great outfit choices to show some décolletage.
Oversized sweaters as seen at Prabal Gurung, Vera Wang and Tommy Hilfiger
The trend: Oversized sweaters with excessively long sleeves
Why we love it: It’s like wearing your boyfriend’s sweater that’s clearly too big for you but exactly the reason why you hold onto it.
How to wear it: Simply match your oversized sweater to your outfit the same way you’d match any other pullover and you’re good to go.
