Fashion is all about fads, you’ll agree. And if you want to be on top of the trends you’ve got to get the lingo right. Here’s a list of fashion terms to have in your vocab right now, so you can wow the crowd with your style smartness:
Slow fashion
First, there was slow food. Now it’s slow fashion – a mindful, eco-conscious approach to style. It’s not just about organic fibres and fabrics, but also about choosing handmade clothes, embroidery and workmanship over factory-produced stuff.

Upcycle
A fallout of the slow, sustainable fashion movement, this means to recycle your old pieces, giving them a makeover that makes them more gorgeous than before.

Flatforms
A cross between flat shoes and platforms, they are the summer’s hottest trend and comfortable, too.

Crossbody bags
Bags to be slung across the body is what these are. And you must have one amongst your accessories.

Seafoam
It’s not what you see when you’re out in the ocean, but the top trending colour of the season. Be sure to be able to identify this subtle shade of blue-green.
Forget those Swarovski-crusted nails. It’s now time for wild creativity as nails include chains, lettering, flowers and even 3D elements. Themes range from Goth to travel and psychedelic.

Activewear
That’s how you refer to sports wear that’s been sexed up these days.
