With all the fashion preview and trend prediction articles being published, it can be very overwhelming to even think about incorporating so many changes into your wardrobe.  So, we at DelectablyChic!  have put together a list of the top 5 fashion trends that you can easily and affordably incorporate into your lifestyle for an instant fashionista boost.

EMERALD GREEN

Colour experts at Pantone officially named emerald green the colour of 2013.  Fortunately, it is a flattering colour across ages, skin tones and genders.  An easy way to add to your wardrobe is a nice emerald green blouse, green eyeshadow and nail polish.  These are very easy to find, wear and accent your existing assets perfectly.

STATEMENT SUNGLASSES

Cool, high impact shades are huge right now and a lot of fun.  Bold and broad coloured rims (such as the Kate Spade Cordelia glasses above), in bright or pastel colours, definitely make a statement.  Size and shape doesn’t matter, the louder the better in 2013.

STRIPES

Stripes can be very hard to pull off and are on of those fashion trends that often look really bad when you look bad at pictures years later.  That being said, bold, thick stripes in bright colours – or even black and white – are everywhere, whether it be vertical or horizontal.  If you are a solids girl, try spicing up your outfit by wearing a striped scarf.

SHORT HAIR

Although it’s unlikely masses of women will chop off their locks, there is such a strong global trend for pixie cuts (Emma Watson, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Alicia Keys), that it is certain some fashionistas will be bold and take the plunge.

RED LIPS

Remember when Madonna wore MAC Cosmetics’ Russian Red?  Well, that fire engine, super sexy style of shade is ruling catwalks world over and is sure to be seen in a big way this year.  If you are not up to such a bold look, try a highly pigmented gloss instead.
