Hello Kitty’s Top Ten Fashion Tips and Trends for 2013

Hello Kitty has been on a whirlwind, whistle-stop tour of the world’s fashion weeks for the very first glimpse of just what we’ll all be wearing next year. This was the Pynkiss Style Team and Pynkiss designers’ opportunity to get ahead in the fashion stakes and Hello Kitty made sure they haven’t missed a fashion trick. But never one to keep everything a secret Hello Kitty has put together her hints, tips and trends, as well as a few dos and don’ts, for another stunning year of fashion. But remember where you heard it first!

Turning Japanese
Now, what could be more appropriate than taking influence from Hello Kitty’s spiritual home - Japan. Everything from kimonos to geisha clogs will influence High Street and high-end fashions alike. We reckon the heavy-framed Japanese-esque sunglasses will be massive... As in popular not huge in size!

One of Hello Kitty’s favourite places for fashion inspiration

Back to the 1960s
Square cut shift dresses will be the look through spring and summer – think Twiggy circa 1966. Bold line patterns, stripes and cubes will further enhance the ‘box’ look. DO team with thick tights and even over trousers as tunic tops

All in One
Baby-gros for adults may be perfect for going to bed in, but 2013 will see some venture out in them – Give this play on a playsuit a big fashion miss! Just DON’T go there.

Don’t even think about going out in one-sies, fashion fans!

Waist Not, Want Not
High-waisted A-line skirts and wide-legged trousers will make a return with soft floaty materials to keep them light and fluid

Degrees of Separation
Separates were big for this season, but next season it will be dresses that look like separates – DO spare wracking your brains for what blouse goes with what skirt and let the designers decide for you

Miss Demure 2013
Showing off too much leg or cleavage will become passé and even a fashion faux pas for 2013. Necklines will rise and hem lines lower, even in the hotter months as cool clothes will simply mean lighter fabrics

Let’s Sport
Not only one of Pynkiss’ own collections but now a fully-fledged fashion phenomena in its own right. Sports inspired designs and sportswear will continue to be huge, and that includes a sense of patriotism with international flag designs and colours cropping up on geographically relevant catwalks.

Get Your Blue Jeans On
Well, not just blue but all the colours of the rainbow. Hello Kitty thinks that denim will be massive news in 2013 and will feature in shirts, jackets, hats, waistcoats and even boots, as well as the traditional and globally popular jeans. Denim has dominated the fashion world for decades now but don’t expect only plain denims, the designs and prints will be wild, wacky and out of this world.

Green is the Colour
Hello Kitty thinks that design studios the world over will going for green fabrics. Rather than dressing head to foot in camouflage colours and blending in with the park, by ‘green’ she means ecologically sound, recycled, recyclable and fair trade fabrics.

Prints, Prints Prints
Prints are going to be the big fashion trend that will last all year long, from skulls to animal skin patterns, flowers to city sky-lines and in the case of Pynkiss, Hello Kitty in all colours and poses!
