05-09-2019   


Fashion has, for a long time, been characterized by a cyclic revolution. It all started when Charles Fredrick, who is believed to be the founder of modern-day fashion sewed in his label into a garment. It was the birth of the renowned designers in the fashion industry today. London Fashion Week, among other European fashion events, leave fashion enthusiasts with inspiration and hints on what is about to trend. 

Fashion does not remain constant; it is seasonal. More so, it differs in different geographical areas. When it comes to women’s fashion trends in the UK, here are some items that are trending right at this moment.

1. Sheer skirts

The sheer style traces back to the 16th century, where both men and women wore it. The style was different: some garments featured tons of ruffles while others gathers and pleats. As it is typical of fashion trends: it has had a comeback in the European catwalk. Just like in old times, style bloggers and fashion editors have found different ways of going sheer: layering sheer skirts with beachwear or denim shorts like ones available at www.tally-weijl.com/en_UK adds modesty to the see-through sheer garments.

2. Vinyl pants

Vinyl coated fabrics made their entry into the fashion world in the 1950s. Today, vinyl trousers are one of the most celebrated fashion items in the UK. The fact that they are easy to wear. They are the talk of street style for having a unique way of expressing chic and cool. 

They can be worn with almost everything. Blazers, slogan t-shirts, and fur coats go perfectly with them.

3. Socks and heels
