Spring may feel a long way off based on the current weather forecast, but the warmth and sunshine will return before you know it. Because of the way high fashion works, all of the major designers showed off their upcoming looks for spring 2015 last fall.
While the next season is still a dot on the horizon, you should decide what merchandise you want to sell this spring and acquire the necessary store fixtures. With this proactive attitude, you’ll be sure to make a name for yourself as a trendy and fashionable store.
Handbags
Two different purse styles made recurring appearances on the spring 2015 runways – short and long handles. It seems you can say goodbye to handbags that rest on your shoulder and tuck under your arm because 2015 is all about handheld purses and bags with straps that can be worn across the body.
Prada debuted a tan, brown and black bag with small round handles that speaks to the trend. On the other hand, Saint Laurent showed off a black, red, blue and gold purse that’s about the size of a clutch, but with a long gold strap. Many of the handbags that were displayed for spring 2015 included shades of blue, a vibrant variation from the popular neutral tones.
Although these styles have been deemed upcoming trends by designers, don’t forget to display classic pieces that ladies will always need, like small black purses for going out. With Black Boutique Clutch Displays, your products will look fab in preparation for spring shoppers.
Jewelry
The most notable trend in jewelry for 2015 is statement earrings, whether that means oversized designs, bright colors or bulky materials. Some models wore dangle earrings that reached their shoulders while others rocked chunky designs that became the focal point of the outfit. According to Harper’s Bazaar magazine, earrings that don’t match will be big this year. They can be different colors, different sizes or you could even just wear one earring.
Sets of bangles were popular on the runways, which were sometimes designed as one singular bracelet with many pieces or individual accessories that are meant to be worn as a set. Style.com explained that materials like quartz, marble and agate will be featured heavily in jewelry this year, so make sure you save space on your Black Boutique Necklace Stand for merchandise with these trendy stones.
Footwear
Three main shoe styles emerged during fashion shows, although none of the trends are exactly new.
Expect platform heels to stick around this year, a look that’s been popular for a while. However, flat shoes will always be a preferable choice for some women. Fancier styles that are adorned with ankle straps, like styles debuted by Chanel and Michael Kors, plus pointy toes, will dominate shoe shelves this spring. Black Boutique Shoe Displays will be a great addition to the arrangement you choose for the flat shoes you sell.
Gladiator-style shoes are the biggest upcoming trend, and not just for sandals. Alexander McQueen designed a pair of peep-toe boots with laces, while Stella McCartney opted for flip-flops that had crisscrossing straps. Several designers went with sandals that had gladiator-style laces up to the knee.
