YES YOU GUESSED IT THE 80’S SHOULDER BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. THINK FLASHDANCE, DALLAS, DYNASTY, CYNDI LAUPER AND 80’S PHENOMENON MADONNA– THE PUFFED OR ONE SIDED SHOULDERS ARE HUGE …. Single Shoulder CutoutFashion's obsession with shoulders rages on, manifesting itself in strategically placed cutouts?for maximum impact.Left to Right: CG,?Monse,?Hellessy,?Vetements, TibiIf like me the notion of strategically placed 36cc Bra Padding inserted on each shoulder deters you rather than inspires, then why not opt for a more subtle look as seen on the runways, by Vetements, Tibi, Prabal Gurung and many more. The strategically place draped shoulder not only adds a little ‘sexy’ to your wardrobe but can look fantastic if paired with the correct accessories. Can’t quite afford these looks? Despair not, with careful shopping and planning you will find similar styles on the highstreet! Just know where to look.OKAY READY TO BE SHOCKED??? I found a piece in PRIMARK!!!!! Yes Primark, that not only incorporates 1 of 2017 ‘big trends’, but 2. At ?13 this ruffle and one shoulder dress from Primark looks as though it has come straight out of Coast or Zara. Wear this dress with a structured blazer or duster coat and elegant heels to add instant value to the piece. 5410200418465 THIS RIVER ISLAND ‘OFF SHOULD BRALET TOP(YET ANOTHER HUGE BUY FOR 2017, THANK KENDAL JENNER) IS STUNNING AND WHEN PAIRED WITH AN A-LINE LEATHER SKIRT WILL OOZE SEX APPEAL AND GLAMOUR AT ?28 ITS REMINISCENT OF A GUESS BRALET….WHITE IS ANOTHER HUGE TREND THIS YEAR SO WHY NOT TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS 3IN1 TREND VERSATILE NUMBER? 00 THIS RIVER ISLAND ‘OFF SHOULD BRALET TOP(YET ANOTHER HUGE BUY FOR 2017, THANK KENDAL JENNER) IS STUNNING AND WHEN PAIRED WITH AN A-LINE LEATHER SKIRT WILL OOZE SEX APPEAL AND GLAMOUR AT ?28 ITS REMINISCENT OF A GUESS BRALET….WHITE IS ANOTHER HUGE TREND THIS YEAR SO WHY NOT TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS 3IN1 TREND VERSATILE NUMBER? 2952750466725This stunning RIVER ISLAND SWEAT IS A STEAL AT ?36, WEAR WITH A DISTRESSED DENIM AND MINIMAL JEWLLERY00This stunning RIVER ISLAND SWEAT IS A STEAL AT ?36, WEAR WITH A DISTRESSED DENIM AND MINIMAL JEWLLERYMY FINAL FAVOURITE LOOKS FOR 2017 HAVE TO BEWHITE SHIRT DRESSES- White shirt dresses are my all-time favourite items of clothing. A basic white shirt dress can be worn alone with killer shoes and slicked back hair, a white shirt dress could be teamed with a leather biker jacket and boots to add that extra edge, for a more alternative look. Fundamentally the white shirt dress in my opinion is a staple piece that every girl should have in her closet. Interesting waistlines and unexpected hemlines add oomph to simple white shirt dresses. Pick up a bunch of these to add to your work-wear rotation.?Left to Right: Rag & Bone, Lie Sangbong, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Banana Republic, DKNY58769252447925FOREVER21-?330FOREVER21-?334610100771525A steal at ?17 white cotton shirt dress from RIVER ISLAND00A steal at ?17 white cotton shirt dress from RIVER ISLANDWith celebs, like Olivia Palermo being fans of this look it’s no wonder the high street has been turning out replicas since Jan 2017 47053501857375NEW LOOK ?17NEW LOOK ?17FINALLY, I’VE SAVED THE BEST TO LAST!!!SLOGAN TEES= ALMOST EVERY KNOWN DESIGNER HAD A SHOW WITH A SLOGAN TEE Logo mania took 2016 fashion by storm, but for 2017, brands are focused less on themselves and more on getting a message of togetherness across. Michael Kors intarsia-ed a sweater with the word ‘love’, Haider Ackermann went with ‘be your own hero’ on tees, and Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri chose Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s phrase ‘we should all be feminists’. 6562725161925BOTH T-SHIRTSZARA, ?500BOTH T-SHIRTSZARA, ?53810001524000BROWNS ?121 00BROWNS ?121 WEAR YOUR SLOGAN TEE, TUCKED INTO A MIDI SKIRT, PREFERABLY LEATHER OR HEAVY LACE.

So whether you are a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, or prefer to dress in ruffles and lace this season has a ton of outfit choices for you to peruse over. Other trends hitting the 2017 headlines, were of course lace, ruffles, Khaki-which, FYI seemed to be on every designers must-have hit list for 2017, ranges included eveningwear in Khaki, from Carolina Herrara to utilitarian wear by ‘Yeezy’ yes you know who I’m talking about and J Crew. Regardless of your style, budget or class there are certainly pieces in every category that any woman in 2017 could and would be proud to wear.As I bid you adieu, I will leave you with some of the Khaki styles to judge for yourselves!
