The 2016 spring-summer collections demonstrated the imagination of designers who sought, each in their own way, to surprise the public. Militta decided to collect in this publication all the main fashion trends of spring-summer 2016, so that it would be easier for you to decide what to buy in the new season, and which items from past collections will remain relevant.
There were literally competitions on the catwalk - designers with revolutionary, sometimes even fantastic, ideas opposed the classics, and some of them tried to turn back history by turning to the style of the common people of medieval feudal Europe. Which of them won or, more precisely, will win? Most likely, you and I will answer this question, because the choice of certain trends depends on us.
Militta looked through many collections and came to the conclusion:
One of the main trends for spring-summer 2016 is nudity. Summer is the time when you want to throw off everything unnecessary. Some designers offer explicit nudity, while others opt for modesty, femininity and charm.
The spring-summer 2016 collections demonstrated the desire of designers to emphasize bare shoulders.
1. Bare shoulders – summer 2016
Revealing your beautiful shoulders is a rather feminine move. To do this, you can wear a bustier dress, which has been offered by designers for more than one season. Or lower the neckline low enough, exposing the shoulders almost to the armhole, while maintaining sleeves or sleeves in the form of frills, flounces, “wings”, etc.

You can demonstrate the beauty of the shoulders differently, more modestly - by making cutouts on the shoulders, leaving in this case a not deep neckline. This exposure of the shoulders is not the first season, but every girl and many women can afford it.

2. V-neckline
The V-shaped deep neckline in the spring-summer 2016 collections sometimes reaches the waistline. The dizzying neckline magically attracts the eye and gives no chance of going unnoticed.

3. Sheer chiffon skirts
Transparent skirts, rustling and fluttering trains made of transparent chiffon and organza became an erotic component of the outfits. It looks especially luxurious when one skirt is layered over another or worn over trousers, etc.

4. Grid
How else to attract attention? Shoulder-baring plunging or waist-length necklines, slits on skirts, the transparency of weightless fabrics or the daring look of exposed skin?
Or maybe attract attention with a bold cut or entangle yourself in frills from head to toe? It turns out there is also a network. A translucent mesh leaves room for imagination, and one like Balmain’s is mesmerizing and eye-catching. Olivier Rousteing is truly a wizard in the field of weaves, including mesh.

5. Frills, frills...
Romantic details - frills, ruffles, flounces - take a serious position in the spring-summer 2016 season, and are able to withstand outright nudity.
Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors
6. Many of the designers’ proposals are inspired by memories of the 90s...
The 90s will be remembered for a long time, especially in Russia. The designers decided to remember differently. These are crumpled fabrics, “boiled” patterns on fabric, mesh, frayed leather jackets, long sleeves(sleeves longer than arms), punk and grunge style, military and biker style, animal print...

7. Futurism and Silver Glitter
The color of cold metal or noble silver, the strength of stainless titanium and the eternal value of silver are combined in the outfits of the warm season 2016.

Genny, Philipp Plein 
8. Asymmetry and layering
Asymmetry and multi-layered fabrics of different textures, overlapping fabrics - this has already happened, but designers strive in their fantasies even further and create outfits with an unfinished cut, from which some models look like a “guest from the past.”
Looking at them, you can’t help but think that you can even master such a cut together with a friend. Militta suggests looking at the models of those designers who, even in asymmetry and incompleteness, leave us the opportunity to be elegant.

9. Blazers and cardigans
In spring there will be a huge selection of jackets and jackets. Besides men's jacket, in the 2016 season, the spencer jacket takes pride of place, a jacket without a collar looks light and feminine, jackets and jackets with a belt look strict and businesslike, and of course, a classic jacket.
Demonstrated their versatility. They looked equally good with pencil skirts, pipe trousers, cropped wide-leg trousers, straight-leg trousers and a very summery cheerful look with short shorts.

10. Pajama and lingerie style
Once upon a time in Soviet time they loved to recall half-truths and half-anecdotes about the inability of the wives of Russian officers to distinguish an evening dress from a luxurious negligee. And now European designers have found it possible to appear on the street in beautiful lingerie. Everything changes…

Ribbons are tied and fluttered. Where? - Everywhere. - In the form of bows and bows, in front and behind, they fly in front of us and behind us, long, long and not so long. Most importantly, they require attention and should not be forgotten, especially in public transport, and in your personal car too.

16. Palette for the 2016 season
What color should be called the most important color of the spring-summer season? Summer is the time for vacations and, therefore, the most carefree and fun time of the year. To feel the brightness of sensations and emotions, all bright colors will undoubtedly be relevant in the new season.
Choose a color that gives you the most sympathy, a feeling of joy, that you want to look at and look at. So he's yours. However, after viewing the collections, Militta notes that in addition to bright and cheerful shades, in the 2016 season, white, green, red, blue, yellow and silver proudly parade on the catwalk.
Black and black-and-white combinations do not look boring at all, but even impressive and elegant, and in a variety of proportions and geometric shapes. Red is a symbol of bright, rich life, courage and eroticism. If you want to be the center of attention, then wear a red outfit. Combinations of white with red or blue, and sometimes all three colors evoke special sensations and emotions, and sometimes a sense of pride...

behind us, which means it's time to make a list of new products that we can start hunting for in stores. Among the main trends are the versatility and gender-neutral style of things. Past shows have revealed several interesting and sometimes unexpected intersections in collections that will definitely find their audience. It's funny that some trends turned out to be not new at all, but rather a reason to sort out your wardrobe and discover fashionable finds there.
website is pleased to share with you 12 hot trends straight from the runways that are worth paying attention to.
1. Terracotta color
Let's start with the main color for the coming season - terracotta. At past shows, many designers chose it as the main accent in their collections. Terracotta looks unique and cozy and will be appropriate both in winter and spring. It can be used to make coats, silk blouses, knitted dresses, wide pants, sweaters, gloves and much more. Some designers even suggest wearing a terracotta total look.
2. Tie-dye
Tie-dye (literally “tie-dye”) is a special material processing process that combines several methods of dyeing fabric by wrapping, folding or compressing. This method is considered one of the most ancient, it was used by masters Ancient India, China and Africa. Things with tie-dye patterns have not gone out of fashion for a couple of seasons in a row. Models in orange-brown, red-pink and yellow-blue stains look most interesting. The classic option is also appropriate - a combination of blue and white. The tie-dye technique is used to make everything you can imagine: from T-shirts to raincoats.
3. Military
The situation with the military style is funny: it either returns to the catwalks, or is easily forgotten, giving way to calmer things. This time, the designers chose a military theme for the spring season, although it is usually remembered in the fall. Perhaps this is due to the general policy of equalizing women and men, including in fashion preferences. When choosing military-style items, remember that it is not limited to cargo pants with patch pockets and trench coats. In the new collections you can find interesting jackets with large pockets, voluminous backpacks with many pockets, raincoats and parkas in green or beige shades.
4. Weave and mesh
We don’t know whether fishing nets inspired designers to create dresses, sundresses, tops and skirts with large holes, but nets will be in fashion. However, please note: this does not mean that the nautical theme has returned to the catwalks. Rather, it's about folk art and forgotten weaving techniques like macrame. By the way, things made of mesh can be worn both independently and as a second layer on dresses, skirts or even trousers.
5. Cycling shorts
Of course, we are not talking about cycling shorts, but something very similar. In fact, sporty tight shorts have long been a favorite item in the wardrobe of fashionistas. Even 2 years ago, designers proved that sportswear fits perfectly into everyday or even evening looks. Today we are invited to choose not only plain bicycle shorts, but also with interesting prints and patterns. You can wear them with long jackets, oversized sweaters, short skirts and wrap dresses. A neutral black model is best combined with a voluminous jacket, and brighter ones with a white cotton shirt.
6. Hawaiian shirts
The Hawaiian shirt can safely be considered a unisex model. Back in 2016, designers introduced Hawaiian shirts for girls. Having become one of the trends of this summer, Hawaiian shirts promise to return to our wardrobe in the spring. At the latest shows, designers headed for a relaxed style, so such a thing could not be ignored. You can choose from classic models with bright patterns, or from more restrained shades with minimalist prints. The shirt can be worn either on its own or over a long sleeve, bodysuit or T-shirt. By the way, if you don’t find it suitable model in the women's departments, then you can safely go to the men's department. Big size It will fit well into the image if you tie the shirt in a knot. So don't be afraid to experiment.
7. Oversized trousers
Oversized jackets and coats can no longer surprise anyone, so oversized trousers are used. If you are tired of classic models, there is something to think about: these trousers look at least unusual. Oversized trousers should fit very loosely, that is, not hug your legs or waist, as if they were a couple of sizes too big for you, so you can use the belt for its intended purpose and not as an accessory. These pants will look great with tucked-in shirts, dress t-shirts and fitted tops.
8. Glitter
In the coming season, sparkles will be popular. The bigger, the better. It seems like a great reason to make life a real holiday. Numerous dresses with sequins or metallic colors already remind us of New Year's holidays, get-togethers and parties that make January one of the most exciting months of the year. Designers advise paying attention to richly decorated models: rhinestones, sequins, crystals - choose what suits your heart best. Such a self-sufficient outfit does not need accessories - you can save money and time, since there will be no need to look for accompanying details to complement the image.
9. Versatility and variation of work uniforms
Past shows have one more thing in common: the designers offered the general public a universal and truly comfortable clothes, which is suitable for the office, for walking, and for parties. Some brands are so keen on minimalism and convenience that they offer a variation of overalls. This is perhaps one of the most comfortable and daring trends of the season. The jumpsuit can be successfully combined with almost any shoe, from pumps to grunge boots.
10. Volume shoulders
Leather
1. Baking
Strobing, a technique that was incredibly popular in 2015, has been replaced by baking, a much more applicable to life and even, one might say, “gentle” way to make your face look flawless. The skin should look as if you were slightly “baked” in the sun, for this use a thick concealer, powder and loose highlighter (on the cheekbones, nose and chin), as well as a light bronzer as blush.
2. Cushions
Last year, the Lancome brand pleased us with a new product that promised to be revolutionary - the Miracle Cuishon foundation. Now cushions are gaining popularity! What is it? The packaging, which looks more like a powder compact, contains a special sponge soaked in foundation product. Using a sponge, it is applied to the skin in a very thin and light layer. It is much more convenient than liquid serum or the usual cream, and most importantly, such a “powder compact” is easy to take with you in your purse. Following Lancome, cushions should appear in new collections of other leading brands; we expect them from Chanel, Dior and L'Oreal.

3.Nude Face
The “naked face” effect, supposedly without makeup, will migrate from 2015 to the new year, 2016, and will remain with us for a long time. Ideal skin, which should look natural at the same time, is just an ode natural beauty. How to achieve this? Only light foundation (and cushions again!), a little concealer and highlighter - nothing more! No contouring, no hard sculpting. And the only accent in this makeup will be not the eyes or lips, but the eyebrows! Here you can safely highlight them brown eyeshadow or a pencil, and comb it upward to make it appear wider.
4. Rosy cheeks
Naive images and even childishness are in fashion. Therefore, in the new season we highlight our cheeks with pale pink blush. You need to apply them only on the protruding parts of your cheekbones, as if you have turned a little pink.
Eyes
5. Brown and bronze smokey eyes
Now we make smokey eyes not simple, but bronze! All shades of shimmering brown will also work - the main thing is that there is shine. In this case, you can use a black pencil for eyeliner, in combination with bronze it looks very cool. But put off the gray and familiar black shadows for now until better times, they are now, oddly enough, not in fashion.
6. Glitter
Sparkles and glitter on the eyelids are a trend that will only gain momentum in the new year. It looks like glitter will be useful to us in the coming spring: shine like that!
7. Neon shadows
The brightest and craziest shades are neon pink, green, yellow... All this will be relevant in the spring, so hurry up and get the appropriate palettes. Remember the 90s, be inspired by photographs of raves and the craziest parties - makeup will be like this again.
8. Blue eyeliners and shadows
We are used to being wary of shades of blue in eye makeup, but there is no need to be afraid of looking like a barmaid: this comparison is a thing of the distant past. If you look at the makeup collections of Chanel, Givenchy or Lancome, you will see that blue is the new black. Liner, eyeliner and shadows can be of all shades - from indigo to dark blue.
In 2016, we remember the fashion for colored mascara, which was popular in the 90s. A minimum of eye makeup, all the color goes into the eyelashes: they can be green, blue and even hot pink! We will definitely try this trend for ourselves this summer.
Peach shades are also at the peak of popularity - delicate and refreshing. Especially suitable for owners of blue and gray eyes.
Lips
Makeup artists from YSL and Chanel advise applying lipstick not with a stick or brush, but with your fingertips, as if you had just been kissed on the lips. Hurray, now you don’t have to bother with the outline!
However, another, completely opposite trend is also taking place: a clear outline, created with a pencil, has returned to the catwalks. But we were taught for several years not to use it! Well, now you can take out your pencil and sharpener again: perfectly defined lips are in fashion. Look at the photos of this beauty trend and get inspired!
13. And again red
Red lipstick, as an element of an everyday look, is still in fashion. Now this is not only an evening style detail; red will look appropriate even in the morning!
14. “Vampire” lips
The trend is also in rich shades reminiscent of the color of blood - dark burgundy, scarlet. Get inspired by vampire images from movies!
Hair
15. Tail-harness
New York week fashion gave us a hot beauty trend of 2016, which you can easily repeat. By the way, celebrities picked it up! A regular ponytail is braided into a plait: it looks stylish and is done in a minute!
