New trend apron. Trend of the season: kaftans and aprons

Return of the legend - how to wear an apron in the new season

Fashion is cyclical and often likes to turn to the past, reviving long-forgotten trends. This spring, well-known aprons will receive a new reading and become one of the most relevant things in the women's wardrobe. How a stylish apron should look today and what to combine it with - let's figure it out.

Today, the apron is undeservedly associated with the attribute of housewives and the uniform of service personnel, and for some it remains a touching memory of school time. However, this element of the wardrobe has a rich history, the roots of which originate in ancient Egypt, where the apron served as equipment for military personnel. In different centuries, emperors, clergy and other representatives of high-ranking ranks wore aprons. In the women's wardrobe, aprons appeared relatively recently, but managed to win the love of the fair sex. There was an opinion that the apron speaks of the status of the lady. So, for example, it was necessary to wear it to married women to demonstrate their marital status.

This spring, the fashion industry offers a variety of aprons - from the most minimalist models to complex options. We recommend to combine the actual thing with trousers, which will create the effect of layering.

apron skirt

Checkered apron skirt can be a versatile item in your wardrobe. With it, you can create stylish looks for any occasion. So, in combination with a dress shirt you will get a business look, and a basic t-shirt and sports shoes will make it casual. We advise you not to forget about accents - you can attach a bright massive brooch to one of the wide straps of the apron, or increase the cut by unbuttoning a few buttons.

To get a stylish casual look this season, a denim apron with raw edges of ruffles or leather, which look bold and elegant at the same time, will help.

Apron dress

In the new spring season, an apron dress must appear in the wardrobe of every fashionista. Such a thing can exist both independently and as part of a fashionable ensemble, allowing you to experiment with images.

Important! An apron dress knows how to keep secrets and is able to hide from the eyes of strangers everything that you wanted to keep silent about. So, the flowing hem of the apron is able to make visually slimmer, wide-spaced harnesses and the horizontal of the upper cut - to balance the figure, and the tie on the neck focuses on the fragile shoulders and waist.

To create a business image, we recommend paying attention to minimalist midi length models that will be appropriate in the office or at a business meeting. Contrasting color combinations are welcome. So, if you put on a black apron, complement the outfit with a white blouse or shirt and vice versa. Ideal shoes - grunge style models, loafers, ballet flats, pumps.

Recommended pair a satin apron dress with trousers, and asymmetric models will look spectacular in a duet with a frilled blouse. In the warm season, images with an open back are especially relevant. Give preference to aprons made of cotton fabric. Take responsibility for the choice of underwear, which in such ensembles should not be noticeable under any circumstances.

Reliable, practical, easy to care for - these epithets refer to the apron in the working area of the kitchen, but we can also make it original, aesthetic and fashionable. In our article, we will introduce you to original, but at the same time practical solutions for lining a kitchen backsplash.

Whiter than white

White color is a 100% success, not transient over time, and a snow-white kitchen apron with matching seams looks impeccable and very stylish. No matter what size and shape of tiles you choose, focus on shades of white that are combined with metal, wood, stone, and combined with various colors of kitchen fronts, decorative accessories and utensils.

Unity of Purpose

Quite unusual, and therefore, an apron made of the same material as the worktop looks doubly interesting. For example, the design of these surfaces with the help of artificial stone, including marble with a characteristic pattern in the form of contrasting veins, will become an ultra-fashionable solution.

Fragments of history

Naive and unexpected - this is how you can characterize the appearance of a kitchen apron created from fragments of old ceramic dishes: cups, bowls, plates, as well as fragments of painted tiles, mosaics, smalt, stones and other elements that can be found quite by accident, or ask neighbors and friends.

chocolate masonry

The favorite delicacy of many, many sweet tooth inspired tile designers to create a collection of tiles, the appearance of which resembles slices of fragrant chocolate. Today, "chocolate" decoration is becoming a fashion trend, and is perfect for decorating a kitchen in minimalist restrained styles.

Tough moment

Gone are the days when the walls in the working area of the kitchen had to have only reliable protection against regular pollution. The modern world of interior design promotes other trends that will definitely make your kitchen unique. One of them is the installation of a kitchen backsplash from curly elements that form a complex, sometimes kaleidoscopic pattern on the wall.

Brilliant Protection

A metal apron is unusual for most people, but in terms of practicality, reliability and presentable appearance, it occupies one of the leading positions in the list of the most unusual solutions for kitchen design.

Among the options for textures of aprons made of metal (stainless steel, copper) there is also a choice: smooth and shiny, matte shimmering, embossed, patinated.

Sea nearby

This way of decorating a kitchen apron can in no way be called banal, because it creates a 3D effect on the wall in the most realistic way. Stonework using sea pebbles looks original and evokes thoughts of a relaxed holiday near the sea.

Like in a mirror

The kitchen can be stylish, functional, cozy and warm, original and simple without pathos. But it is also able to stand out catchy, for example, by designing an apron with a mirror mosaic, because a little glamorous chic, sometimes, does not harm the familiar environment.

beehive style

For several seasons in a row, honeycomb-shaped tiles have been called an almost perfect way to decorate. Use it to create a beautiful, nature-inspired backsplash, keeping in mind that the color of the ceramic should also be natural: terracotta, cream, white, sand or yellow, light gray.

Trend #1: Jeweled Kitchen

When planning the interior of the kitchen, many people try to achieve the effect of respectability, chic, while the functionality must be observed, and the general atmosphere would like to be made cozy. There are many variations of kitchen sets, as well as the decoration of the room itself, these days. But there is little that compares to natural stone and the exquisite brilliance of fittings, which are made to look like jewelry. White, the color of gold and the naturalness of natural stone were used to decorate the interiors of emperors. Times have changed, but the relevance of the idea has not lost its position. For people who love gloss in everything, wealthy and self-confident, such a kitchen is something that can satisfy pride and arouse the admiration of guests.

But a kitchen in this style is not only luxury, but also functionality, because what can be stronger than stone.

In addition, white expands the space, shine in decoration is like diamonds, and what woman does not want to feel like a star in the spotlight? In addition, the rays of the sun that will fall on such fittings will fill the kitchen with a shimmering sheen, creating comfort and at the same time unsurpassed chic.

Trend #2: Embossed Tiles

Embossed tiles in the interior is a trend that has already managed to win the hearts of many connoisseurs of minimalism in the interior. Intricate patterns on ceramics, of course, can recreate any plot. But not all people like it, besides, you quickly get used to the picture, and a plain tile of a classic color is always stylish and tasteful. But if earlier the creation of an interior in one tone with the help of ceramics was inapplicable, because even texture, monotony would rather look boring than beautiful, now everything has changed. Embossed tiles are great for both kitchen and bathroom. But the living room, if you are a connoisseur of the “hi-tech” or “loft” style, this option will transform in an incredible way. The patterns can be of different shapes, creating an unsurpassed 3D effect, which is very modern. The kitchen will appeal to each of the family members, the interior will not become boring quickly.

Light colors are a great alternative for small spaces, but they will make a spacious kitchen royally monumental. The usual ceramics, thanks to the relief tiles, has acquired a new sound.

Do not forget that the functionality of the finish is ideal. After all, wallpapers easily get dirty, fade, lining is afraid of moisture, mirror surfaces need to be wiped too often, and all these hardships are not terrible for tiles. From its surface, as if by magic, you can remove all the costs of the kitchen.

An important advantage is that this novelty is still not very common. And your design will definitely be able to surprise others, and glorify you as an individual person with a unique taste.

Trend #3: Flat Cabinets

The classics of the genre are wood and straight lines in interior decoration. The trend for kitchens made with minimal design sophistication is back in 2017. We seem to fall into the past, but this is a completely different past, where materials are of high quality, minimalism in design is not a sign of a lack of imagination and funds, but a sign of taste, harmony and consistency.

Kitchens with wooden and flat cabinets may seem boring to some. These models are for those who need comfort and quality without excess, without all that constantly distracting. More and more business people who know a lot about life prefer to drink their aromatic coffee in such a kitchen.

The functionality of the design is that you can choose many variations for it in the interior. Wood is practical and durable. Conciseness and understatement gives a flight of thought. All this asceticism can be diluted with fittings, which, like a ray of sunshine, decorates a dull day. Thanks to this, the interior becomes more alive.

But models without handles are no less relevant, because it is unusual, a little bold, as it challenges the usual. In addition, this is a great option for a home where there are small children who often hit the fittings and strive to leave their fingers on every element.

The handleless design is safe and practical as you don't have to constantly rub them to keep the glossy sheen from disappearing.

Trend #4: Color of the Year 2017 - Gray Kitchens

The leader of the color scheme in 2017 is gray and all its shades from off-white to graphite, as well as combinations of all monochrome colors in one interior. Forget about blue, green and red kitchen fronts - this is already a fading trend. It would seem that with such dullness nothing interesting should come of it, BUT! Pay attention to invoice. A beautiful and high-quality texture is the main idea of the 2017 kitchen trend. It should be used for cabinet facades and interior decoration. It can be a wood-like structure, marble, masonry or just gloss. Also, in continuation of this trend, pure white, dairy and black cuisines remain fashionable.

Trend #5: Matte Black

What interior will not leave anyone indifferent? Of course, black, matte. And if it is complemented by gold or brass fittings in retro style, then this is the height of perfection. Matte has become popular not so long ago, but its demand is growing exponentially. The same can be said about brass fittings. Faucets, handles, kitchen utensils, made as if they were inherited, won the hearts of millions.

Retro is all the rage and rest assured that a kitchen of this design is something that will make you proud to invite guests to a tea party. Bold black suits ambitious men who love individuality. But it is also a great option for today's youth. Well, as for experienced housewives, brass in design can win their hearts, even if at first this type of headset seems gloomy to them.

It is worth noting the fact that the black matte kitchen is also suitable for those who closely follow fashion, which is so difficult to keep up with. But black is a classic, and, as we all know, it is always in fashion. So you won’t have to worry about the fact that the interior has gone out of fashion in a couple of years.

And, of course, dark color is style, gloss, luxury and practicality, especially when it comes to the kitchen, in one bottle. An excellent investment of funds, what is there to add.

Trend #6: Geometric graphics on tiles

The trend of 2017 for an accent in the interior is a geometric print. Designers often like to use an accent color, such as red or blue, but as the Kitchen Design exhibition shows, this is an outdated technique. Also forget about flowers, animals and photos of cities. Fashionable and stylish kitchen 2017 should contain a clear geometric print. It can be used both in the design of a wall, an apron over a work surface, facades of kitchen cabinets, and simply in textiles. For example, napkins or a small rug by the sofa.

The leader of the graphic print is a monochrome print with triangles, broken lines and stripes. In the extreme case, if the kitchen is decorated in soft and warm colors, you can use smoother shapes: circles, ovals and softened straight lines.

TIP: Also, there should not be a lot of print, it strains your eyesight. It should only be used as an accent.

Trend #7: Colored Glass Tile Aprons

Literally a few years ago, the fashion for glass aprons entered the kitchen market. But if at first they were solid and required special installation, then the trends of 2017 are a new glass tile that does not require additional manipulations on top of the main wall covering. The cold mirror shine of glass tiles gives chic and high cost. You can choose both elite collections of glass tiles and economy options. The advantage of this design over glass aprons is the ability to create a holistic view of the kitchen wall, and not divide it into an apron and the main wall.

Trend #8: Natural stone and brick

The texture of natural stone is a constant trend: it was fashionable 10 years ago and remains at the peak of popularity until now. If you want to make an investment for several years ahead, the best choice is natural brick or stone. From it, the design of the kitchen wall, decorating the fireplace is excellent. A stone dining area or backsplash is a built trend that is hard wearing, easy to clean and maintain.

Trend #9: Wood-look floor tiles

Laminate and parquet boards are increasingly being replaced by structured tiles. This is a very practical cover for the kitchen. New technologies for the production of floor tiles offer a wide variety of textures and colors, opening up new possibilities in kitchen design. Muted grays and natural tones also dominate the floor design. Take a closer look at the light gray shades, shades of natural oak and alder. Tiles with a wood or cut structure will fit into any kitchen interior. The trend towards naturalness and frilly structure of the cover permeates all trends in the design of the kitchen.

Trend #10: Tech Trends

Kitchen cabinet furniture with drawers, folding drawers, as well as snap-on drawers for greater functionality and capacity, for easier access to the trash can and waste for recycling.
Built-in coffee machines, small bars with sinks and taps, wine coolers.
Doors, according to the method of opening, reminiscent of a pocket or barn doors.
LED and cabinet lighting.
All kinds of pet accessories, including built-in feeders, food storage compartments and baskets.
Storage and charging stations, flat-screen TVs, home mini-offices, technologically advanced homes incorporating design for living.

FROM Today, things that have been forgotten by us for almost centuries have come into fashion. For the time being they lay at the bottom of a huge fashion chest, and now they suddenly “surfaced” to the surface and attract the attention of many modern designers. And one of the most original things that has not been used for a long time is a caftan. The most popular clothing from the 16th century, even before Peter the Great.

Designer Svetlana Levadnaya tells more about the fashion trend: “Our brand LEVADNAJA DETAILS is not actually engaged in historical reconstruction. We did not seek to find patterns of models of the pre-Petrine era and sew something similar. I call a caftan an elongated jacket, without buttons, without a fastener, in which you can wrap yourself comfortably, wrap yourself up. We just use this word. Nevertheless, the modern caftan has a lot in common with its "ancestor". For example, handmade embroidery.

Remember, all Russian clothing has always been richly trimmed with embroidery. We combine different techniques: we use knitted elements, beaded and semi-precious stones in our embroidery: amethysts, garnets, serpentine, pearls of all shades.

Kaftan today is a very fashionable thing, but at the same time it is also classic. What to wear? Down you can put on a sweater, T-shirt, knitted sweater - all these things are in any wardrobe. Where can you go in a caftan? If you wear jeans with sneakers with a caftan, this will be an option “to the world”. And if an elegant plain dress and pumps with high heels, then - "to the feast." This is a universal thing.

The peculiarity of the things of our brand is not only hand embroidery, which refers us to the original Russian traditions, but also a certain color scheme - as if dusty. She is very suitable for women and girls of the Russian type. Emphasizes the delicate color of their skin, eyes. Women of northern beauty especially suit the dusty color of cocoa, shades of gray moss, unpainted linen, natural wooden bark.

Another trendy and unusual thing. Apron. In fact, a wardrobe item dear to any Russian heart. Remember that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers wore aprons. In Russian culture, the apron occupied a special place, it was always decorated, all embroideries that carry a semantic load were located on it. And I always wanted to return the apron to the modern wardrobe, to our lives. Today he was remembered. And I'm very happy about it, it's hard to break through the wall alone. How to wear aprons for modern fashionistas? What to compose with? Our apron is an interesting accessory that can be worn with both jeans and a plain dress.

Where to go in such an apron? To meet up with friends? Visiting? Why not! I put an apron on a straight knee-length dress and wear it with pleasure in a work environment. When I go outside, I put on a light coat, a raincoat. In order to put on an apron, you do not have to wait for some exit, a special occasion or a holiday. In our collection there are leather skirts with aprons already sewn to them. It is unusual, original and, most importantly, connected with centuries-old traditions.
