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. 

Time to return to campus; or begin your new chapter at your future alma mater. College is the best time to enrich your mind, connect with like-minded individuals, explore different activities, and cultivate lasting friendships. Every step of college life has a different vibe; whether hanging out and grabbing a bite at the student union, studying at the library, or joining a social group, there are shoes for everything. We've curated a ladies' shoe collection for our gals on a budget. Continue reading for recommendations on sneakers, sandals, and heels and where they fit best in your daily life at school.

The fashion cycle in recent years has resurfaced in 70s, 80s, 90s, and Y2K fashion pieces like baby tees, platform boots, and mom jeans. In 2023, cargo and parachute pants reign as a prominent trending piece. Ladies can rejoice in their discovery of cargo and parachute pants; these are the few types of pants with functional pockets while flattering the figure with their higher and fitted waist. Essential pieces to pair with these pant styles involve chunky heels and fitted tops. For the summer weather, My Melrose has looks with cargo and parachute pants curated for the heat.

Summer is here with the raging heat and extra bright sunshine. Hot weather calls for sandals, and your friends at My Melrose and Melrose Family Fashions have picked different fashionistas, their subculture tastes, and their summer activities. We have eight selections below for more details and styling recommendations, from flats to block heels.

Refer back to a small piece of our post on trending fashion colors for spring/summer 2023, where we discuss Pantone's color of the year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, and the mantra behind it; the encouragement of exploration and self-expression. While this pushes for bold colors and prints, a range of neutral earth-tone colors are creeping to the forefront of fashion this spring – think of a variety of browns, greys, greens, beige, etc. This week, My Melrose talks about earth-tone colors; what colors go with these varieties, and how to create outfits inspired by natural colors we see every time we go outside.
