This week, Trendstop present three apparel silhouettes that will be crucial to any Fall/Winter 2018-19 womenswear collection. The Crafted Sweat elevates athleisure casuals with modern hand-crafting and customistation techniques. The Paper Bag Skirt brings a new maturity and elegance to skirt shapes with an unfussy, feminine appeal. Parkas go XXL as seasonal outerwear features extreme padding and pumped-up proportions to keep out the winter chill.

The Crafted Sweat

Lace-up detailing gives the sporting sweat a crafty rework. Casual corset inspired lacing and ruched cut outs bring feminine detailing to masculine proportions and silhouettes. Neutral shades and rich berry tones with bright accent flashes keep the look contemporary.

The Paper Bag Skirt

Loose paper bag pleats put the focus on the waistline of this key skirt trend. Longer lengths sit below the knee or graze the ankle for a more formal, mature feel with tie waists providing a feminine element. Luxurious weighty fabrics and metallic finishes make a statement while classic cottons have a more casual feel.

The Super Padded Parka

Fashion meets function as arctic-style padded parkas come with a directional aesthetic. Extra-large quilted panels add new levels of comfort and warmth, creating an oversized silhouette. Blush tones and soft neutrals enhance lightweight puffy fabrications.
