There are heaps of new ideas and trends being promoted on Instagram every single moment of every single day. All of them look amazing. It’s hard to know which ones to follow. Are they really trending ATM? Or are they going to be just a fad that doesn’t catch on?

Here’s our summary of the style and fashion trends that Aussies are actually wearing THIS week. This what our street style photographers have noticed this week in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. February, Week 2, 2017….

There’s a definite 80/90s vibe at the mo, and it’s all about being bold, daring and having fun…

#Current Trends

#oversizedspecs

Spotted on @oliviamolly this week and she shared the look on her Instagram

Instead of hiding, celeb-style, behind oversize sunnies, it’s now all about the oversize specs. Far from adding stealth, this facial furniture is designed for maximum cool, with our street fashionsitas loving clear, black or thin metal frames.

#roundsunnies

It seems retro rounds are doing the rounds again. Popular across decades past, from the John Lennon look of the 60s to the city hippy chic of the 90s, these playful shades are still bringing that statement edge to today’s threads.

#shoesandsocks

No longer a fashion faux-pas, the shoes and socks style of our playground days is pounding the pavements with attitude.
From men to women, flats to heels, everyone’s getting in on this accessible trend. Plain, pattered, sheer, anything goes.

#peekaboofishnets

The fishnet always finds a way back into our wardrobes. On the streets at the mo it’s all about letting them peep out, whether that’s from behind ripped jeans or beneath a mini. You can even go netted socks.

#Guccibeltbuckles

This iconic piece of Gucci apparel has been growing in favour with fashion bloggers, and it’s now popping up everywhere. As well as being highly practical, this belt and buckle makes a big mid-drift statement whatever you team it with.

#metallicssequinssheers

Shine and be seen: that’s the advice that seems to be the go this Spring/Summer season.From the catwalks to the cities, we’re all either rocking metallics and sequins, showcasing our bods with sheers, or combining them both.

#velvetinsummer

Velvet combined with hot summer days, not likely. Well, actually it’s proving to be a trend with traction, as it subverts the season norms. Out and about currently nothing’s too much, with vintage looking velvet pants and overalls both spotted.

#undoneboots

Nothing says manly like a pair of sturdy boots, but wearing them loose, open and with the laces un-done gives them that laid-back modern edge. This popular footwear look ain’t going anywhere soon, whatever city you’re in.

INTERNATIONAL:

#floralapplique

Applique is a hot global fashion micro-trend right now, and is gracing everything from wedding gowns to everyday wear. What’s the current look on the streets? Big, bold and floral added to denims and leathers for that romantic 80s vibe.

That’s it for this week. We’ll have more trends to share with you, as they’re being worn on the streets, next week!
