Trend of the Month - 'Matchy Matchy'


2africangirls

For something different on my blog, I'm going to post my own 'Trend of the Month' features which in the title will consist of me expressing a current or upcoming trend which have stood out and caught my eye monthly!

For my first post, for April; I have chosen to look into the Co-ordinates trend of Spring/Summer 2014 (which I think will stay for next season too!).

So, 'Matchy Matchy' seems to be the new thing to do this season! I have seen this on runway shows, everywhere in retail stores such as Topshop, River Island and Primark, even on the red carpet.. and celebrities can be so influential on trends which is probably one of the reasons matching sets and co-ordinates have hit the fashion world by storm. Another influential platform of the fashion industry are the bloggers of today, blogging has become one of the strongest and effective ways of self-promotion or brand promotion therefore can create a buzz about trends or anything really! Even though some people may think it's tacky or dated, this is where I love it because it's like a challenge, to prove these people wrong - fashion is all about challenges of trends etc, anything can be cute if it's done right.

It's such a simple trend however like any piece of clothing, must remember that flatters you the most but won't have a problem of options because co-ordinates vary from block colours, or prints and patterns which is a little more daring but what's the harm in trying it out!? Getting ready has become 10x easier, and diva fits are no more due to this trend, there will be no excuse of taking hours choosing an outfit because here, two separates become one. Just choose your print/colour, only thinking needed.

MOTEL ROCKS, take a look here!
MISSGUIDED, take a look here!


Many different styles of co-ordinates are out there to experiment whether it is looking sharp and sauve in a tailored set, or comfortable and casual in a jersey set etc, this trend is here for you to wear it how you like and have fun with an overload of trends or popping out of the crowd in a block colour. Get on this co-ordinates trend this season, it's a big one!

Beyonce, Fearne Cotton, Ariana Grande and Rita Ora rocking this co-ord trend! All taken different takes on their set.
Beyonce looking fierce and sexy, Fearne Cotton looking stylishly smart in her tailored set, Ariana Grande going all
pretty with her hot pink set at an awards show then Rita Ora bringing back the retro print and style with her co-ord!
Bloggers obsessed with this trend, especially thatpommiegirl's Sarah Hashcroft - she's been showing her way of styling
her favourite pastel and print co-ords, whether it is for the day or evening/casual or dressed up, then shewearsfashion's Kavita Donkersley expressing her classy urban style with that cute palm tree co-ord and last but not least, cravegreenvelvet's girl Charlotte looking edgy and clashing two trends, in her metallic leopard print co-ord.
Again, all looking different and putting their own take on this fabulous trend!
