The Pilgrim Trend

Each year brings a new batch of looks, styles and trends for us to try. Some work and some just do not. Some will last for a few seasons whilst others will fall off the fashion radar and never be heard of or seen ever again. From the successful lace look which has been ever popular in the style world, to the more unsuccessful dungarees look which tried to make a comeback late last year but did not really take off and failed miserably. This is all part and parcel of the fashion world. A style can be in one minute, and out the next. Committing to looking good every day is something that you need to keep your eye on.One look that is reported to be big this coming season is the pilgrim trend. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, it is a style of dressing that relates back to the pilgrimage of the American ancestors and the clothes they wore. You may have to think back to those history lessons to remember the time period in history to get an idea of what has influenced the look. Of course the look has not been totally replicated. Picture a more updated version of the historical look with added details such as lace, sequins and frills and you have the idea. No one wants to look they have just stepped back in time to an earlier era.Many high end designer brands have caught on to the pilgrim trend and are using this in their collections. Large over coats, wide brimmed hats, Amish shoes, lengthy dresses, tie collars and white over-sized shirts have all been seen gracing the catwalks of high end names and labels. If it seems like a style you would consider wearing, you can easily get the look by pairing a few pilgrim style pieces with your more day to day clothing.A tie collar top teamed with a pair of black skinny jeans and some patent brogues will add up to a great on trend look this season. Or you could try a night time look made up of a pilgrim style dress and a pair of black shoe boots whilst accessorising with some black knee high socks.There are many ways in which you can incorporate the latest trend into your already bulging wardrobe. Just select a few key pieces and pair with daily basics and you are on your way to a winning look.
