Sheer is here

The start of a new year inevitably brings with it an entire collection of fashion trends to try out. With spring and summer our way, we are all looking at shedding those layers that we covered ourselves up for the last few weeks.

A glimpse of the sun just brightens up our entire mood and makes us want to get up get dressed and just go flaunt to the sun. Here are few trends you should keep a watch this spring-summer.

The trends are a fab mix of florals, pastels, sequins and evening glam. As pretty as ice cream, the pastels are going to be all over. So add on the burst of pastel into your wardrobe with pale hues of yellow, purple, pink and green. The prettiest of the pastels, to repeat over and over again, is lilac. From international designers to ramp, it is everyone's favourite.

To say sequins and sparkles will be a big deal next summer is an understatement. Style yours with a sweatshirt to give them daytime longevity. From classic gold and silver to rainbow colours, sequins will be in all shades -- from casuals to evening gowns this spring.

It looks as if heritage checks are going nowhere for the season ahead. Summer shirts to dresses in checks of all sizes are going to be everywhere. Pull out the checks in your wardrobe as it's going to be a big hit and will save you from burning your pockets as you sure are going to be buying more.

From dresses and tops in asymmetric neck to ruching, this spring is going to be your go-to for the evening glam wear.

Fringes are going to be your thing as they are going to be talking more sophistication than playfulness. Ruffles from last year is staying here -- ruffles top, dresses and evening trousers are a summer favourite.

Bold colours! What's spring and summers without the solid flash of colours? Pick a bold colour to match your skin tone and just get it rolling.

Sheer is here to stay; they are going be the 'in-thing' for the season, so don't forget to experiment with different styles and outfits for day or evening outfit.

If coming season's glitzy sequin ready-to-wear is too much for you, then perhaps a sparkling Cinderella shoe is an alternative. It should be noted that socks and shoes are making a comeback too. Make sure to experiment with fun socks and sequin pumps.

One bag was never enough, let's all agree!? Multiple bags from Chanel to Dolce & Gabbana are going to be a thing. If you're one of those people who carries both a tote bag and a handbag, then you're ahead of the game.
