The New Fashion Year is underway, and trends start to surface, from the runways to our wardrobe.
From the looks of things, 2017 is about breaking all the rules. Pushing limits of conventional designs and personalizing high fashion to fit individuals' everyday lives.
The spring 2017 trends are exaggerated versions of what we have seen before.
Stripes are oversized and rainbow-hued. Wardrobe staples such as sneakers dabble with multi-fabrics and smart design. Pretty bows don't play the background of an ensemble. They are gigantic and bold this time around.
If you look around Southeast Missouri, you'll see tons of personal looks that rival big-city fashionistas.
Demetria Renee is a college student with a unique flair and fearless fashion sense. Demi always delivers. Her Instagram page is a happy place for the dreamy creative.
Her laid-back vibe collaborates with her wardrobe in the best way. Whether it's her hair, accessories or combat boots, she takes it to the style max.
In her camera-ready look, Demi uses her denim jacket to host statement-making patches.
Using fashion as a voice is a 2017 trend people have been doing for ages. Her "rock or die" Pink Floyd patch adds a nice touch of cool, not to mention Bob Marley also makes a cameo. Pairing the denim with the glossy satin slip makes this outfit seem effortless and glam at the same time.
