Trending Fashion

As we welcome the change that comes with a new season or the promise of a fresh year, we often find ourselves drawn to the latest fashion trends, particularly apparel-related. However, shoes and accessories frequently take a back seat in these discussions. This year, we are excited to shift that narrative by placing hair accessories in the spotlight, specifically focusing on the enchanting trend of hairstyles embellished with bows. 

Bows can add a delightful touch to any look, and they are versatile enough to complement a wide range of hairstyles, whether you boast thick, textured waves, sleek, straight hair, or anything in between. At Melrose, we believe that hair accessories deserve to be celebrated, and we are eager to showcase a variety of hairstyles featuring bows that cater to every individual’s unique characteristics and preferences. 

From chic and casual ponytails adorned with oversized satin bows to elegant updos accented by delicate ribbon ties, our inspiration covers various styles and levels of sophistication. Get ready to explore how to infuse your hairdo with personality and charm as we delve into this delightful trend. Join us on this exciting journey to discover how bows can enhance your hairstyle and express your style in a fresh and trendy way.

There's truly nothing quite like indulging in the small yet sublime pleasures that life has to offer. Picture yourself savoring your favorite rich and velvety mocha latte from that charming, eclectic coffee shop that has become your second home. As you wrap your hands around the warm cup, you can feel the comforting heat radiating through your fingers, a gentle reminder of coziness on a fabulous day. Each sip is a delightful embrace of soothing, irresistible flavors that envelop your senses, transporting you to a tranquil state of bliss. It's an experience made even better when shared with a dear friend or accompanied by the mellow tones of lo-fi music streaming through your headphones.

As you relish this mocha, a decadent piece of chocolate catches your eye, its smooth texture seemingly begging to melt in your mouth, releasing a cascade of rich cocoa that dances on your palate. Such indulgence brings a sense of relaxation and joy, delivering a well-deserved serotonin boost.

These delightful flavors and visual pleasures hint at the Pantone Color of the Year for 2025: Mocha Mousse. This warm, inviting hue perfectly captures the essence of these comforting treats. Read on to explore Mocha Mousse, its exquisite complementary color palettes, and its exciting presence in the fashion world.

As the crisp air of fall approaches, it's time to transition away from our beloved sandals and summer attire. We’re thrilled to showcase a selection of stylish shoes that will elevate your wardrobe and become your favorite. 

This season, the classic tall boots are making a fabulous return, with standout pieces like the “Forever” 1” Stack Heel Lug Faux Suede Sole Over-the-Knee Boots capturing attention. The rich texture of faux suede is perfect for cooler days, providing warmth and style. 

Western-inspired designs continue to dominate the trend scene, adding a rugged yet chic flair to any outfit. Fashion enthusiasts gravitate towards bold silhouettes that make a statement, featuring unique patterns and eye-catching details. 

To help you stay ahead of the curve, we are excited to highlight seven must-have shoes from the trendy fashion category that will boost your fall wardrobe.

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 fall mood is in the air with the return of pumpkin-spiced lattes and cozy knit sweaters. When we think of fall, we don't always think about our nights out with our girlfriends or meeting that special someone for the first time. Instead of focusing on the staple comfy, cozy, warm fuzzies, we dive into various fashion trends with some of our most daring looks. From bold cheetah print to black and white mix, your fall night-out collection won't be dull, and you'll be trendy. See what nine alluring looks we have at Melrose for juniors, contemporary women, and ladies in extended sizes.

Summer fashion trends reflect the season, deviate to the unexpected, and showcase fashion pieces that have been ongoing popular items. Denim continues to reign, whether head-to-toe denim looks or specific cuts of jeans and shorts. We're seeing neutral colors as strong best sellers in our stores. Hence, the season's trending color is brown, which is projected to be a pre-fall 2024 shade to watch out for. We have new, exciting styles to show and talk to you about; read more for inspiration and be on trend on a budget with an outfit from Melrose.

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. Its versatility and durability make it a vital component of any wardrobe, regardless of season. 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.
