Fashion | Micro-Trends: Scuba Chic

There’s been a common trend amongst spring/summer lines and it’s the ultra luxe fabric: neoprene. You might notice it on surf and swimwear to laptop sleeves but now designers are embracing this contemporary look onto a variety of clothing and accessories.

The femininity infused with a sports sensibility gives the look this spring. Normally the thought of ‘scuba’ was not to be heard of in fashion but now the trend is centring on clinging body cons, neon panels, exposed zips and pleated skirts. You can even embrace a pair of neoprene shoes and a selection of accessories.

Take on this trend to liven up your everyday wardrobe or perfect for an evening event, a body-loving neoprene number can hug just the right places for a timeless look. During the day time, one of these stunning over-the-knee skirts (Asos, £35) can bring simplicity and sophistication with bold prints or floral crop tops. For statement outerwear, Urban Outfitters has the perfect neoprene bomber jacket to complement any baggy t-shirt and skinny jeans.

If neoprene clothing isn’t your thing, Mango and Topshop have the flawless accessories for you. Mango’s stylish black panel scuba bag will match any outfit and with that- you can grab yourself some patent black neoprene ankle boots from Topshop for only £30.
