Lace Reimagined: Lace made a comeback, not just in dresses but also in unexpected places, adding a touch of romance.
The 'Going-Out Skirt': Goodbye 'nice top and jeans,' hello glitzy, versatile skirts!
Denim Redefined: Denim took on new forms – we're talking beyond your average jeans, and I'm all for it.
'90s Minimalism: The simplicity and sophistication of the '90s are back, proving less can indeed be more.
Big Buckle Energy: Bold buckles are in, adding a statement touch to any outfit.
