There are lots of sales to move last year's stock, but also new stuff. I'm surprised by how much red is being put out. Navy or ink blue, too. I saw 3 different shops do red, navy, and white with a strong nautical feel and Danier was featuring red, black, and tan/cognac leathers in their window. Ann Taylor is all navy, cream, and blush-and very lovely. Another shop was promoting blush, navy, pale blue, and merlot.</p> <p>These were just my impressions from cruising bricks and mortar in one North American city. Not sure if the new stuff is late winter refresh or S/S or maybe event 'resort'!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601370 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 23:22:09 +0000 Diana 1601370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 90's loving self has a soft spot for slip dresses, worn with plaid flannels and docs. But maybe not the most practical look for my current life. I would totally wear them as loungewear though. Hmm....</p> <p>Not excited about any of the others though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601351 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:51:57 +0000 Helena 1601351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has Angie done a spring 2016 roundup yet? (Not sure if I missed or its too soon!) She will find us some great trends to try, I'm sure! What about the pantone colors - pink quartz and serenity blue? Think well see these this spring?These might be easy to incorporate in shapes and pieces tailored to one's preferences? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601335 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:24:31 +0000 crazyone 1601335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://https://www.madewell.com/madewell_feature/LOOKBOOK_sm.jsp?srcCode=MWEMBR01601&amp;rmid=Jan_0112_Spring_Lookbook_ALL&amp;rrid=536309&amp;uea=7t3rsp6pfRTWb7QQk%2FYKePlgFeL%2BTfYLfOTmXaHZ%2FoU%3D">this</a>&nbsp;is the new Madewell lookbook for Spring 2016. &nbsp;I can't say that I love it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601332 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:18:53 +0000 Kaelyn 1601332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of like the look of bucket bags but as a handbag minimalist, I'm going to have to say no to that one because if they're not practical, they will sit and look pretty in my closet. I LOVE off the shoulder things, but also recognize that they are impractical for me. I'm planning on buying a pair of white Converse in the next few months, so thanks for the tip about hand washing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601316 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:57:04 +0000 catgirl 1601316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a bucket bag won in a silent auction, but I don't use them because they are so disorganized, like me.&nbsp; Nothing else sounds useful in my climate of that list, sadly.&nbsp; Spring is still 4 months off for me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601314 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:52:12 +0000 Anonymous 1601314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love lists like this. &nbsp;I will never wear off the shoulder tops because they just are not practical (and my name is not KendallJenner). &nbsp;People would literally laugh at me in my circle of friends. &nbsp;I love the idea of slip dresses, but refer you back to my comment about off the shoulder tops. &nbsp;I don't use bucket bags because I can never find anything in them. &nbsp;What good are they?</p> <p>I admit that white sneakers intrigue me, but they are <u>everywhere</u> right now. &nbsp;Their presence is so ubiquitous that it is off-putting to me. &nbsp;I just don't think I can buy them for that reason alone. &nbsp;</p> <p>So I don't think Spring 2016 is going to trendy for me. &nbsp;That is ok because I am not certain what style direction I am taking in Spring and I am dipping into the waters very gradually. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601313 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:50:08 +0000 Cococat 1601313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used my red bucket bag for about 10 weeks over Christmas and I enjoyed it but Lisa is right, it doesn't lay flat against my body which makes it kind of annoying. I've swapped it out for a cream fringed satchel which is more practical.</p> <p>I bought 2 off shoulder tops and several cold shoulder tops for summer. I only wear the off shoulder tops for special occasions even though I have a great strapless bra that keeps the girls in place. After a couple of hours, the boning in my bra feels uncomfortable. I wear the cold shouldered tops a lot because I can wear a standard bra with them. They give an off shoulder look but allow me to feel comfortable. </p> <p>I have never worn white sneakers. It's so hot here, I usually wear flip flops or sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601305 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:36:03 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1601305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I refuse to wear slip dresses. Not in the 1990s and not in 2016.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought one small bucket bag last year. I think they started being trendy in summer 2014. My bag is a lovely periwinkle color but I find it impractical.</p> <p>I'm thinking about a cut out arm top like Vivian had in her WIW, but I do not like cold shoulder/ off the shoulder stuff because I always get cold. Also, undergarments.</p> <p>And on the white sneakers -- I don't rule them out, but don't covet either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601295 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:18:16 +0000 Anonymous 1601295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bucket bags are useless - they never stay closed, and they don't lay flat against the body. They may look great, but who uses them to any degree of success? &nbsp;Slip dresses? Fine if you are built like Gwyneth Paltrow or Kate Moss. For the rest of humanity over the age of 8 &nbsp;- just say no. &nbsp;Off the shoulder ? &nbsp;I can see that - for resort wear or a hot summer evening look. White sneakers? &nbsp;Sure - I'd love another pair of Stan Smith;s with the new gold logo . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601291 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:11:43 +0000 Anonymous 1601291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'll be buying any of those items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601284 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:03:33 +0000 rachylou 1601284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. It's probably the fact that they write about the trends so far in advance that makes me think they were last year. I wonder if a bucket bag would work for me. I tote stuff now in a stiff-mesh shopper... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601267 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 20:30:24 +0000 Aquamarine 1601267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought i read bucket bags were going to be big this spring. Also saddle bags, which look nice but are too fussy for me because of the flap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601262 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 20:27:10 +0000 rachylou 1601262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weren't bucket bags last year? Off the shoulder dresses... sounds so cold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-things-that-will-be-big-this-year#post-1601246 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 19:56:53 +0000 always trying 1601246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bucket bags, off the shoulder tops and dresses, slip dresses and white sneakers.&nbsp; </p> <p>I do not like the look of bucket bags, and do not need any new ones anyhow.&nbsp; Only people I see that will be wearing anything off the shoulder are those that can go braless or can comfortably wear strapless ones. same for slip dresses.&nbsp; As for white sneakers I will be looking for some anyhow even if they are not a big trend.&nbsp; Angie introduced me to white footwear and I bought white loafers a while back, and sandals last summer.&nbsp; Loafers are not really my best style of footwear, but sneakers will fit in better.&nbsp; Just to add a tip about white sneakers--was by hand and put out to dry.&nbsp; No washing machine or dryer!&nbsp; they get cleaner by hand and washers and dryers are too hard on them.</p>
