Sao Paulo Stunners

   The recent Sao Paulo Fashion Week has left us with many new trends such as luxurious leather, fabulous furs, sexy sheers, black/white duos and more. With Winter still here and Spring feeling further and further away with all of this snow, the Sao Paulo fashion shows had many styles that can be worn in this cold weather. Listen up for prettier ways to bundle up!

   Leather snuck its way into many styles almost everyday at SPFW with studded edgy pieces to rock'n roll styles. Brazilian fashion icon Ana Salazar designed gloves in bright colors different than typical black and brown gloves. If you're not willing to take a chance with studded leather outfits, then adding these gloves to your style could make a statement. Also seen in Sao Paulo, breathtaking furs. Although a controversial trend, it's one of the best ways to keep warm during wintertime. Fur made its way onto the runways on coats paired with edgy masks, only to be kept on the runway of course! But worn with boots and jeans this winter, you could be rocking an A plus style. As a designer's way of keeping you cozy, it's never a fashion-don't when wearing fur.

   When you think of Brazil you may think of tropical and bright colors, but many black and white duos were seen on the runways of SPFW. Soft ruffles and leather were king when it came to black and white designers, especially by designer Tufi Duek. A timeless combination of colors, black and white always finds a way to be classy. But not everything went smoothly in the Sao Paulo shows, pleats and fringe found their way into trends. Pleating details never get left out, especially in billowing pants and mini skirts. Pleats can totally change the look of an outfit, making it bulkier or evening our materials, it's sometimes essential in some styles.

   Along with various other styles ruling the runways, these trends were joined by gorgeous lace, stylish hats, bold brights and wide legged pants. As trends appearing just about everywhere, it's no doubt that these styles are the "it" factor. There's still time left to flaunt them, especially with all this snow that just surprised us in New England. So check out the Sao Paulo Fashion Week styles and mix 'n' match into Springtime. Stay stylish, and stay warm for the remainder of winter!
