Clashing combinations are in style

Fashionistas who want a wardrobe refresher for the start of 2014 should forget about last season's tailored silhouettes, monochrome hues and tame styles. Resort 2014 - the now famous collection that takes place between the seasons - is seeking to impress with innovative patterns and unexpected matches.Oh, and the Black Eyed Peas were the wedding band Discount White Chiffon A-line Sweedheart Beaded Rhinestone Evening/Prom Dresses.free of extraneous embellishment Wholesale Cheap Sexy Taffeta One Shoulder Applique Beaded Mermaid Mother of the Bride Dresses? This year's resort collections are in between the trends, mingling both sportswear and dressy attire in a twisted way. "Sporty" and "clashing textures and prints" are the common themes running through the collections.

After a very punk-inspired autumn-winter season, designers felt like having even more fun. So they tried playing with bold, contrasting elements and clashing various patterns and textures together. You can wear your Stella McCartney flower cocktail dress with a leopard printed bomber jacket; or you can simply dip-dye your sporty Preen liberty hoodie. If you're not into flowery prints, stick to Balenciaga's '20s-inspired, polka-trimmed summery dress, which comes with a contrasting, child-like pattern. Girls just want to have fun, after all.

Carven's resort collection actually turned out to be the boldest incarnation of this mix-and-match trend. The Carven woman will, of course, put on her girly, little black dress to go to a cocktail party. But she'll combine it with neon-coloured sport sandals. This kind of footwear is something that many refused to wear in public before. But now it is more than tolerated - it has become a must-have item from streets to runways. Sportswear was a reference for the men's spring-summer 2014 season, and this year's resort shows that it took its toll on womenswear, too. As always, the sometimes subtle, and other times rather obvious, mingling of feminine and masculine elements was a favourite with designers. Some went further by injecting an ostentatious, sporty nonchalance into business wear.

Marni's head designer, Consuelo Castiglioni, obviously jumped on this train. Her newest resort collection is about a sophisticated businesswoman who can let herself go by pairing her neat wardrobe with slouchy activewear elements. Several silhouettes suggested the masculine and feminine duality expressed through straight and curved lines - think boxy, rounded, cinched tops worn with men's Bermudas and pants. But the silhouettes most worth watching were those that provocatively replaced classic sartorial aesthetics with activewear. Take an oversized, belted trench coat worn with an elongated white turtleneck and side-striped sweatpants, paired with those now-famous sport sandals. It is not solely about injecting sportswear elements into the mix, but also imposing them on the brand's usual sophisticated style. It breaks with the feminine fit, and as with all the silhouette constructions in the collection,Dressestmall is best place to explore girl dresses, flower girl dresses ,girls party dresses, Tulle v-neck applique floor length ball gown wedding/party dress and dessy dresses. is daring but desirable.
