It takes about two years for runway looks to trickle down and influence the styles you find at department stores. For example, here's Valentino's Fall 2015 collection (that showed a lot of gorgeous botanical prints, mesh, and embroidery) above some new arrivals at h&m and forever21 for spring 2017:
Of course, there's always a ton of variety from a ton of designers every season, but once I fell in love with so many looks in this particular collection I've been patiently, patiently waiting for similar looks to pop up at stores I can afford (can't shop couture on a teacher's budget, after all!)
I keep this in mind as I watch runway shows--what stands out? what trends should I be on the lookout for? This spring, one of the trends that I'm loving is from Elie Saab's Spring 2017 collection, a color combination. Blue and gold.
The most common blue and yellow combo I see right now is a mustard yellow and steel blue (like the one from asos at the right) and I'm not that into it. The almost-nude gold from Elie Saab's collection contrasts really well with the deep navy blue and the lighter cerulean shade. I can see that palette translating easily to work clothes, and clothes for a night out. Any occasion where you want to make sure you look polished and elegant.
For now, it looks like my options are limited to blue clothes with gold jewelry and vice versa. Fingers crossed that changes soon!
