Trending Fashion

Leopard print has emerged as one of the most prevalent trends in fashion, making its mark on a wide range of items, from faux fur jackets to bandanas. Its influence has even extended to the realm of fitness (I personally witnessed a gym bro wearing a bandana). This striking and attention-grabbing print has experienced a resurgence, gaining prominence in retail outlets and various social media platforms, particularly following a year dominated by minimalist fashion. The print carries many connotations, symbolizing everything from royalty and status to, in some instances, being associated with a less favorable "trashy" aesthetic. To understand the significance of leopard print, it is essential to explore its historical symbolism in the fashion world, tracing its roots from ancient Egypt to its contemporary association with the "mob wife" aesthetic.

The fashion industry is dynamic and ever-changing, with trends constantly shifting and evolving. While some styles come and go quickly, others have the power to endure for decades. Recently, we have seen a resurgence of fashion trends from the 70s, with flared pants, bold prints, and platform shoes making a comeback. However, the appeal of vintage fashion doesn't stop there. In the current fashion landscape, there is a growing interest in the fashion of the 1960s, with crochet clothing proving to be one of the most in-demand items for the upcoming spring season. This trend is expected to continue well into the summer of 2024, with many designers and retailers incorporating crochet garments into their collections. 

At Melrose, we have grown a small crochet clothing collection with varieties showcasing dresses, two-piece sets, and tops. Some pieces are more simplistic in pattern and design than others. This week, we want to share a few of our crochet pieces for juniors, ladies' extended sizes, and women's shoes while educating more about the crochet trend and its role in culture from the past to the present. 

If you are already on top of this spring's latest fashion trends, you know that denim is the most talked-about fabric, with dark wash denim, straight legs, and Bermuda shorts being just a few current trends in the fashion world.

Whether you're dressing up or down, denim can be styled to fit any occasion, making it the ultimate fashion power player. This week, we dive into 2024 denim trends and talk about pieces in Melrose stores, which you can find and style according to your taste.
