The world of fashion changes every day and often it is necessary to get rid of the old to make room for the new. Many influential factors influence changes in trends and it's a rare instance, especially in high fashion, when a trend can and does last forever. Timeless trends that will always be relevant in high fashion are equivalent to term diamonds in the rough.
True red comes in many not so trendy forms, but it will be a staple in high-end fashion until the end of time. Why red? It's the Marilyn Monroe of colors and considered a power color with a strong sexual influence for passion. Let's look at the facts: it's the color of fire, the common rose, hearts, passion, love as well as embodying many more other symbolic meanings. In China, it symbolizes beauty and celebration, and it is the color brides most commonly wear on their wedding day. Did I mention that it's one of the top colors chosen by men? It's true Venus will always be rising in the high fashion world.
While on the subject of power, let's add the well-tailored pant suit. There are uncountable variations by numerous high fashion designers but there is one perfect fit for every woman. A good tailor is needed but not necessarily required. Women are powerful, and a high-end pant suit can be worn for almost any occasion with the right decorated accessories to accent. Try utilizing this trend if there is a powerful message that needs to be conveyed.
A staple piece of jewelry in high-end fashion is the right hoop earrings. This accessory will never go out of style. Whether you like silver, gold, big or small, find the perfect pair that fits you. Getting a few variations is a must. Jackie O, god rest her stylish soul, received millions of dollars in diamonds and jewels from prestigious places and people, but her favorite were a pair of petite double-hooped dangle earrings that she got for less than $100 and wore most of the time. She was photographed wearing them on numerous occasions. It's simply impossible to settle for just any hoop earring and there are many styles to choose from so it's important to take precious time to find the perfect pair. When you do, you'll be soul mates. As for me, I'm going to be buried in mine.
Thomas Burberry was the founder and creator of the first trench coat. They were designed specifically for the British Army and when the soldiers came home, they continued to wear them on the streets making them the pillar of street fashion for men. Epaulets and other accents were added and the trench coat was reborn and continued to transform for both genders. Today, almost every high end fashion designer makes a variation. This piece may be the most timeless style for both men and women today.
New ideas and new trends in fashion are an exciting expectation to look forward to. Its possible that innovative ideas can transform ones world, for the good or the bad. Since the past is all we know, that is all we can reference. But there is one thing for sure and its these high fashion trends will be around forever, unless we become machines and robots. It could happen but it sure does give a whole new meaning to the word attachment.
