SPRING TREND REPORT
What is the number-one fashion piece to buy this season? How should you switch up your mani? Can grown-ups really wear pink? Our guide to the season’s top 13 get-happy essentials will leave you jumping for joy BY JILLIAN VIEIRA AND RANI SHEEN
“Come on, get happy!” It was the song that echoed through Michael Kors’s Spring 2017 show in New York. Backed by a six-piece band, Rufus Wainwright jubilantly belted out the tune as models bounced down the runway in ’60s floral prints and retro bathing suits. It was an all-over-chills experience—one that set the tone for the rest of Fashion Month. The overall mood this sartorial season is optimistic: Clothes are less serious and the beauty messages are full of joy and ease. And in a sign of the revolutionary times, unabashedly female artists ruled the runways: Dior newbie Maria Grazia Chiuri showed slogan tees stating “We should all be feminists” and makeup artist Val Garland made waves with her whimsical glitter-painted ears at Giambattista Valli. We are hopeful because the spring shows pointed to one conclusion: In fashion, at least, things are looking up. So read on for our best tips on how to wear these haute-happy trends.

It’s the overcoat that defined a generation of black-and-white-era stars (Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, anyone?) and now, decades into its lifespan, the classic trench coat is getting a refashioning. At Marni and Michael Kors, extra-long, loose waist ties kicked the trench’s prim and proper reputation to the curb, while Burberry, the original purveyor of the trench, added an ’80s puffed sleeve in out-there leopard print. Turns out, you can teach an old coat new tricks.

Why choose just one polish colour when you can have three? (Or four, or five…) At Opening Ceremony, stripes of primary red, blue or yellow were painted on a black-tipped nail, while at Thom Browne each nail was a different chalky pastel shade worthy of a sorbet sundae. Tanya Taylor went for graphic dots and swoops in lilac, orange and mint, and Novis couldn’t pick just one shade of blue.

From palest petal to flashiest fuchsia, pink was all over the runways this season. Balenciaga, Céline and Valentino all showed shocking pink dresses as the crown jewels of their collections, while on the beauty front, we loved the blush-to-rose “faded ombré” nails painted by Kiss manicurist Gina Edwards at Naeem Khan, the matching pink on eyes and lips at Topshop Unique and the angled flush of blush at Chanel.

THEKIT.CA / 5 “It’s beach hair, but pushed a little further. When hair has been in the sun or the sea, it clumps together, so it’s got a chunky kind of texture—we put in a lot of wave spray to achieve that. We also did 18 makeovers—dye jobs and cuts—based on surfers, skateboarders and girls who’ve been hanging out with their boyfriends in some beachy, sexy environment.”

try racing stripes Nautical stripes are a spring expectation (long live the Breton!), but the classic print is taking a sportier, racetrack-inspired direction this season. Think glossy sports cars whizzing past the checkered flag.

ALTUZARRA
Beach waves have become so popular, they’re practically a California-girl cliché. This season, we saw a new take that was at once messier and more deliberate, with just-out-of-the-ocean gelled manes flipped back nonchalantly at Altuzarra, windblown locks folded into a half-up at Zac Posen and sandy bleached mops at Alexander Wang. Even the coolest surfers would approve. FROM LEFT: BUMBLE & BUMBLE TEXTURE HAIR (UN)DRESSING CRÈME, $34, SEPHORA.CA. REDKEN FASHION WAVES 07, $23, SALONS.
