2013 Contrast Trends for Women

One of the trends which are easy for everyone to accomplish with things you already have in your closet is the contrast trend. Find out all about this trend and how to achieve the look below! For 2013, it’s all about mixing contrasting materials. Ever thought of mixing jersey with sequins, cotton with leather and even knits with lace? This is definitely the time to go for juxtaposition in materials. But actually it’s not only the materials which join in the fun, even the colors can be completely contrasting with the absolute favorite being black and white combinations. Take your cues from the runways with designers and brands such as 3.1 Philip Lim, Just Cavalli, Acne, and Stella McCartney all going for this trend. There are many ways to show off contrast.

 As we’ve already pointed out, you can opt for contrasting fabrics within one garment, but you could further enhance the contrasting effect by going for contrasting colors too. For example, pair your favorite white jeans with a black blazer worn on top of a top with contrasting materials. With this trend, it is important to go all the way; it will only have an effect when you style your whole outfit around this theme. The ultimate contrast can be created when different fabrics and colors are used on one and the same garment.
