The Trend: All-White Ensembles

For many, adhering to the “no white after labor rule” is a way of life. For decades, the fashion industry scoffed at the restrictive rule, visually proclaiming that wearing white is chic 365 days a year. This season, New York Fashion Week delivered marvelous collections in which model after model donned fabulous all-white white ensembles. From sports wear to resort chic and brands as varied as Rachel Zoe to Calvin Klein, it is clear that sporting an outfit comprised largely of white hues, is the farthest from restrictive.

NYFW Runway Trends: Dots & Stripes

Stripes, and particularly polka dots, got so big this year that it was unclear if they make make it through another few seasons.
If one does take heed of the runway, however, it shows that they are here to stay through 2014! Stripes are going to be integral to the season’s look. while polka dots, still a popular choice, may not be as prevalent as it was this season, but don’t worry – you’re still on-trend with them. Below are some of my favorite examples of the trend, and catch up on the others from NYFW Spring 2014, including the colors orange, black and white, pastels, paint, and embroidery & ethnic prints.

Ralph Lauren

Inspired by all things mod, Ralph gave this look a bout of masculine edge with a fitted, collar shirt and a necktie; pair stripes with some slightly quirky accents for a stylized look.

Reem Acra
Not your average polka dot, mix the pattern with something else in your wardrobe; just be sure that the colors line up perfectly so that it looks more sophisticated than wacky. Hounds tooth is a great choice, since it’s regained its popularity this past season.
