BLACK AND WHITE COMBINATIONS AND EMERALD GREEN

Neon was all the rage in 2012 but while color continues, it is not quite as dominating. Black and white is a huge fashion trend for 2013 and you will see lots of emerald green which has been named the color of the year. Black and white stripes will be especially trendy and you will see this shade of green in fashion as well as accessories like jewelry, shoes, handbags, scarves and belts.

LACE DRESS

The peplum (a short overskirt that is attached to a fitted jacket, blouse or dress) dress was all the rage in 2012. It started at the 2012 Oscars. That trend is starting to fade now and we are seeing a big return of lace. Lace is pretty and feminine and a great dress choice for 2013.

DARK DENIM SKINNY JEANS

It was all about the printed, colored and different coated jeans in 2012. For the near year, we are making a return to the tried and true dark denim skinny jean. It is definitely the most versatile and when you are spending $150+ on a pair of jeans, you want to be able to wear them with anything!

MEGGINGS

Definitely the most talked about new trend of the new year for men is the megging. If you don’t know what that is, you are not alone. A megging is a men’s jean legging. Celebs like Russell Brand and Justin Beiber have all been spotted in them. They come in solid colors, prints, patterns and lots of different textures. They are the male version of women’s jeans+leggings=jeggings. If you are going to buy these for your man, be sure that he has lots of confidence!
