Moms, it’s time to add a little Prêt-à-Porter (Ready to Wear) fashion into your wardrobe!
This type of fashion is all about clothing made to be sold in stores without needing any alterations. It’s usually quite trendy and fashionable, so you can keep up with the latest styles without having to go shopping every other day.
Prêt-à-Porter History
Ready-to-wear clothing traces its origin back to the War of 1812 in the United States. High-quality military uniforms were mass-produced for soldiers. Soon after, Prêt-à-Porter clothing for men was produced, featuring muted colors and sliming cuts.
It wasn’t until the 20th century that Prêt-à-Porter methods were applied to women’s clothing. Yves Saint Laurent was the first designer to produce a ready-to-wear collection. However, his designs were too expensive for most people. However, it did pave the way for high-street fashion to adopt this trend which still persists today.
Popular Prêt-à-Porter Trends
Ready-to-wear garments are designed to be easily worn by anyone, regardless of body shape or size. This means you can pick up clothing like jeans, skirts, tops, and dresses from a store without worrying about what size will fit you best. And best of all, ready-to-wear clothing is often much more affordable than custom-made garments.
One of the most recognizable trends in Prêt-à-Porter today is minimalism. This trend involves wearing clothing that is simple and sleek, with very little embellishment or ornamentation. The focus is on clean lines and understated elegance.
Another popular style is athleisure. Athleisure is all about clothes that are both stylish and comfortable, making it easy to look good without spending a lot of time and effort. And with more and more brands jumping on the athleisure bandwagon, it’s easier than ever to find affordable, stylish options.
How To Build A Ready-to-Wear Wardrobe
Ready-to-wear fashion is the perfect way to add variety and excitement to your wardrobe. Here are a few tips for building a chic, on-trend ready-to-wear wardrobe:
- Start by browsing online stores or visiting your local mall to get an idea of what’s trending in Prêt-à-Porter this season. This can help you choose pieces that complement each other and look great together, even if they’re from different brands or designers.
- Look for ways to incorporate statement pieces into your wardrobe. These might include bold accessories, eye-catching jewelry, stand-out shoes, and handbags that will make any outfit pop.
- Try mixing and matching pieces from different styles. For example, you might pair a sleek, minimal top with a bold printed skirt to create an on-trend look that’s uniquely your own.
- Invest in high-quality pieces that will stand the test of time and won’t go out of style quickly. This could include basics like well-fitting jeans, basic t-shirts, sweaters, and skirts, as well as wardrobe staples like black pumps or leather jackets.
