Introducing the best fashion trends you need to know for spring and summer 2013. From high contrast black and whites, to comfy sportswear separates, see all of the season’s top trends from high fashion runways.
Black and white
Marc Jacobs
The opposites attract! In spring 2013 designers put the emphasis on crisp style in high contrast meaning the classic black-and-white looks. Seen at every other fashion show, the back-to-basics looks are ready to wear all year-round be it in the office or during the date night. The easiest way to recreate the trend is a monochrome bodycon dress.

Sheer panels and cutouts
Daga Ziober in Cushnie et Ochs
Once again, featherweight sheer fabrics (especially in white), daring cutouts, midriff-baring separates, and Angelina-inspired thigh-high slits are all the rage in spring and summer! The beauty of this trend lies in the elegance – sexy peekaboo designs are tasteful, feature the high level of modesty and show just a hint of skin. Lustworthy.

Luxe leather
After the season of modern rocker look leather jackets and leggings, a warm-weather leather is officially a thing! This season, the must have fabric of every it-girl’s wardrobe comes in minimalistic yet ladylike silhouettes, and fun-loving rich colours. Accessorize with effortless hairstyle and makeup to prevent from trying too hard.

Bold stripes
Karmen Pedaru in Michael Kors
Easy to pull off at every budget, stripes make a huge comeback! Vertical, horizontal or even diagonal, there’s no way to avoid stripes in spring and summer 2013. For the all-American flair pair coloured stripes with 90s-inspired light denim, for summer-ready nautical-chic go for navy or white. Feeling adventurous? Dare to wear stripes head-to-toe!

Graphic prints
Luckily, graphic prints, big for fall, won’t be leaving the scene any time soon! To take a graphic walk on the wild side go bold with a one stand-out piece and let it shine. From uncomplicated swirls, and cozy plaid to happy-go-lucky floral prints and arresting digital designs, eclectic prints caused a fashion frenzy on the runway. All you need is to prepare a serious dose of confidence.

Sportswear separates
Zuzanna Bijoch in Victoria Beckham
Unpack your comfy canvas sneakers, collegiate cardigan and A-line sporty dresses, it’s the return of the sports fashion – with a ladylike twist, of course. The other numerous sportwear-gone-luxury looks from the spring 2013 runways included the slouchy, cool-girl bermuda shorts (all the rage in New York), a letterman jacket and a nonchalant shorts suit which is this spring’s power player.
