Trend of the Week: Zippers

Zipper details have definitely evolved since they first made their appearance back in the 80’s. This spring, zippers are exposed! Instead of just hiding in the back, zipper details are appearing all over garments, shoes, and handbags.
Our favorite way to wear the zipper trend is on the pockets and legs of skinny pants. Since this trend is quite masculine, we recommend creating flirty proportions with airy tops in curvy cuts. By mixing girly elements with this rocker-inspired trend, you can add a little zip to your look.
This dress is full of unique detail with an exposed zipper and fun, geometric print. Wear the zipper half way open with a bright tank or bandeau underneath – try perky colors such as electric blue, pink, and yellow.





Zippers are no longer just a way to get in & out of your jeans. These details give a street-style vibe to just “any old jeans.” Bring this trend up to date by pairing zippered jeans with a slouchy tank, fringed handbag, and metallic gladiators.

These shoes are a great way to create a bold statement for evening, with angular shapes and back zipper detail. Try channeling Billy Idol by pairing these shoes with a cropped motorcycle jacket… Rebel Yell!
