As soon as the season rolls around, get in on the action before everyone else and be the trendsetter you were born to be! Let’s look at some trends that are bound to be a major buzz in 2019.

Pastel perfect & subtle neutrals
This will be the year of sophisticated pastels or neutral pastels like pale pink, ivories, ecru and silvers, greys and champagnes. More neutrally minded? Earth tones are back in a big way—from sand to tan, cream, and khaki. It's time to lighten up.

Smittening stripes
Stripes are pretty huge right now, but the best part is that they're the timeless pieces of all. The stripes fashion trend manages to seamlessly transition itself from season to season. The latest arrivals at Project Eve are covered in horizontal and vertical striped finishes, so you can earn your stripes in style this season. Head to toe stripes is your best bet for sure. It's looking hot beyond that too, so you never have to worry about these stripey staples going out of style. Phew! So, girl, step this way for all things striped.

Check the checkered
There's one print that's dominating fashion town, and that's checks. You'll find the design most frequently on blazers and trousers, but the detail has graduated from suit sets to asymmetrical tops and breezy skirts. This time, they have also come with floral prints and embroidery.

Floral prints
Bring out the floral prints that you have kept in your closet, tropical prints and botanical patterns are to be embraced. Pastel-hued micro florals are back. Florals are inexhaustible, the print actually feels fresh. Look out for this print and try mixing it with checks for something completely unexpected.

Lace and embroidery
Laces and embroideries have surfaced, cemented its status for spring. Lace is now sliced and diced, and reworked on the hemlines, sleeves; small and dainty motifs are trending. The texture is all we need to strike a balance and of look phenomenal.

Asymmetry
A trend in skirts, dress or tops where the front hemline is higher than the back is known as high low. Asymmetrical silhouettes were present last year, but this season you can witness not just in hemlines, but also in shoulders and sleeves.

Silhouette
For the tops and dresses, A-Line, skater or flared, and for bottoms straight or cigarette fit pants, palazzo, high waisted jegging are most trending. In A-Line and skater, the look is clean, unfussy and therefore modern. Well-Fitted bottoms are gamechanger for any fashion enthusiast would know.

Dainty delicate jewellery
Much like fashion trends, jewellery styles come and go based on season and occasion. This season it’s all about piling up, and layering, but for Hyderabadis this season, it’s daintier everyday jewellery. They are a classic for women of all ages, they always look good and never go out of style.
