Key Street Style Trends for Spring/Summer 2015

As we make the transition from late spring to early summer, discover the latest trends emerging in the world of street style, as pinpointed in key cities across London, New York, Milan, Paris and beyond. In each country, the most fashion-forward S/S15 looks worn by directional trend-setters inspire a wealth of new styling and product ideas, as spotted by Trendstop's global team. Hot off the streets, these curated trends are also likely to develop and influence mainstream fashion, as well as demonstrating fresh and exciting updates with creative garments, innovative customisation and unusual accessories. This week, we present FashionUnited readers with four essential trends taken from our Spring/Summer 2015 street style coverage, revealing new looks for both women and men.

Cool in Culottes

Culottes are a key shape for women's Spring/Summer fashion, inspiring a touch of Modern Seventies chic. Wide-leg silhouettes work well with patterned jackets, denim shirts and bikers alike, as single colour coordinations offer a minimal take on formalwear. Cropped lengths also lend themselves to statement shoe stylings.

Teenage Dreams

Street style takes a youthful direction this season, as womenswear expresses teenage undertones with bold and playful designs. We see spring dresses layered over jeans, while casual two-pieces pop in bright colours. Other highlights include novelty bags, cartoony sweaters and thigh-high socks worn with patterned shoes.

Crystal Clear Accessories

Transparent textures bring a fashion-forward appeal to women's street style, updating accessories and footwear with a futuristic clarity. Boxy plastic handbags reveal their contents, while Space Age-inspired booties pair well with glittery Lurex ankle socks. Pure white ensembles enhance the ultra-clean feel.

Doubled-Up Denim

A key trend for men's daywear, denim is worn in coordinated stylings to update casual looks. Matched by colour and texture, jackets are paired with straight-leg jeans or wide-leg shapes. Contrast underlays add interest, from pastel sweats to crisp button-down shirts. Tactile coats and vibrant accessories add a statement touch.
