From Runway to Realway: Top Spring 2016 Trends
The minimalistic look is officially last season.
The spring 2016 runways were ruled by the “more is more” motto and we are definitely on board with it!
Sparkle, Shimmer & Shine
The upcoming season is dipped in indulgent shimmer!
And no, it’s not just the formals that are donning the metallic silver; Isabel Marant even did boyfriend jeans to make the style street friendly!
If you are not up for the silver color, simply opt for sequined dresses in any metallic shade and glimmer on the go!
