CEBU, Philippines - 1. Shirtdresses
In an anything-but-tame turn, designers reimagined this classic shape with drop waists, double high slits, and more. It's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book, but for your closet.
2. Yellow
Before you scoff and say "not for me," hear us out: From amber and canary to saffron and marigold, trust that there is a shade of yellow for everyone. The trick is figuring out your skin's undertone, then finding the hue that best complements it.
3. Black and White
The trend's not groundbreaking, but black and white is everywhere. What makes this season's take on the classic color combination interesting, though, are the various textures, patterns, and silhouettes.
4. Culottes
It looks like spring 2014's major short style is sticking around in 2015. Take the silhouette to work this season by pairing it with blazers, tailored button-downs, and high heels.
5. Blue and White
If black and white is too stark for you, this subtle version may be more your speed. Give it a try when you feel like making a statement with little to no color.
6. Kimono-Style Trench Coats
Slouchy, lightweight trench coats-belted just so-were spotted all over the runways this season. We're fans, and why wouldn't we be? They're a comfortable, stylish mix between a robe, a proper coat, and a kimono.
7. Head-to-Toe White
At this point, it isn't about the rules of when you can wear all-white; it's about how you wear it. New styling tricks include mixing textures, layering multiple pieces, and teaming various shades.
8. Flats, Slides, and Sneakers
Thank the fashion gods, comfortable shoes are here to stay! So whether you're a sneakerhead, appreciate minimal two-strap sandals, or love plain slides-there's something cute and comfy out there for you.
9. One-Shoulder Cuts
Believe it or not, your shoulders have become the sexiest part of your body overnight! Show them off in these one-shoulder tops and dresses (a twist on 2014's off-the-shoulder ones) that are perfect for date night.
10. Roomy Denim
Jeans are a given for any season, but this time around it's about cropped, baggy cuts. Keep your tops slim to create a cool contrast.
11. Polo-Style Shirts
Designers found a fun way to continue playing with sporty themes this season. Get ready to pop that collar and channel your inner prep.
12. Military Greens
Hit the army-surplus store now because you're going to want all the necessary regalia later. Many designers took the literal route when it came to their creations, but you're better off choosing streamlined military-style pieces that come in the olive-drab shade.
