Year 2014 has just started and many women would love to know what fashion trends are “in” this year so as not to be left out. New year is nothing less like an opportunity to update not just ourselves but also our wardrobes, and that means having to adopt new fashion themes that will keep us in vogue during whatever season—from the hottest summer days to the coldest winter days. Before the beginning of the year, several trend setters from around the world have released new guides for fashion-conscious women to help them stay up to date with the latest in fashion this 2014. Here is a list of ten fashion trends this year:

This 2014, springtime pastel shades is set to become a trend. One of the best things about this trend is that you can choose your favorite pastel colored-apparel and put it on while pairing it up with silhouette flatters. Colors may range from mint green board shorts suit to dresses that are sexy and lilac, or baby blue bomber sporty attires. Pink, lemon and peach are also good picks and prove to be slowly becoming huge trends nowadays.

9. Ladylike Lace

Ladylike lace is asexy and sensual spring and summer 2014 fashion trend because in the world of fashion, lace is considered the epitome of femininity. Known for its timelessness and enriched versatility, lace will grow even more popular during the spring season, from trench coats to skirts, and even accessories and accents. This year, this trend will lend wardrobes with some sort of an undisputed elegance and will let women regain some renewed sense of femininity. It is best when spread across refined cuts and silhouettes, and when used for night garments.

8.  Statements and Slogans

Statement and slogan shirts have been a trend for quite some time now, but they will remain a popular fashion trend this 2014. These shirts let people “say it out loud,” “it” being their attitude-filled comments and clever wordplays. This trend started in 1988 with Nike, when it began manufacturing shirts with motivational slogans. This year, the practice of printing clever statements and slogans such as political statements, humorous puns and ironic messages on shirts, sweaters and caps will remain as popular as ever.  This trend has been popular for years because of its ability to grab attention.

7. Sheer Layering

In fashion, sheer layering is considered the epitome of boldness. This 2014, this fashion trend will be most popular during the spring season, daring women to expose their skin either purely sexually or subtly. Unlike sheer layering trends in the past, sheer layering this 2014 will involve additional layers of sheer fabrics for a three-dimensional quality. Each sheer overlay is designed to stand as a petal that results in layers of lightweight and ethereal feel when worn, leaving a perennial floral impression especially when mixed fabrics of various opacities are used.

6. Cropped Shirts

Cropped shirts work best for women with flat tummies, though they also look great on men. Cropped tops lend a classic yet sophisticated vibe and work for both masculine and feminine interpretations. This 2014, there will be more than plenty of ways to crop shirts and make them look in vogue for spring. Men and women who have sexy figures look utterly fresh when wearing cropped tops, especially when they have perfect abs. Cropped shirts also look all the more elegant when paired up with fitted pants.

5. Oversized, Boyish Outfits

One of the sexiest ways to achieve that masculine look this spring is by wearing oversized, boyish outfits. When women wish to go masculine, theytry wearing man-style shoes, masculine tailored blazers, oversized shirts and slouchy pants. This 2014, the trend is a lot more different because women can achieve that sexy yet masculine look without as much effort as before. Trendsetters want women to embrace sneakers and have a whole new take on masculine dressing by being choosing minimalism over sophistication. Untucked layers matched with “too cool to care attitude” are also a trend.

4. Sporty Bandeau

Bandeaus are very much related to crop tops, though they have somewhat different renditions. This 2014, infusing the effortlessly cool attitude with stomach-flaunting tops is a major trend, and is seen to accentuate one’s individuality and excellence. Especially during summer and spring, wearing the bandeau with conviction is a must. But before thinking of sporting it impeccably, it is important for anyone to recognize her body type first. The major trick in rocking this trend this year is flaunting as much stomach as the wearer is comfortable with.

3. Dungarees and Overalls

Bib overalls or dungarees are among the fashion trends to watch out for this 2014. Overalls and dungarees are perfect for spring because they provide a humble and relaxed mood to the wearer. A cyclical trend, overalls also lend a hands-on, no-airs and graces as well as street-smart impression that is why they are often associated with mechanic workers. Denim dungarees are ideal for women who want to retain that sense of easy and cool feel, and it is the easiest option they have if they are adopting the trend for the first time.

2. Wide-Leg Pants

Wide leg pants provide easy, cool and relaxed impression especially during summer. Considered one of the best summer wardrobes this 2014, wide leg pants this year will be enhanced by spot-on styling. They are ideal for summer not just because of the comfort that loose pants provide but because of their variety of styles, cuts and fabrics that can be used to style and tailor them, allowing women of different body types to take advantage of their versatility. For sexy women, it would be stunning to wear wide-leg pants with a crop top.

1. Mid-cropped culottes
