Moroccan Chic

Another great trend for this season, and one that has come and gone over the years, is the exotic yet laid-back Moroccan/safari-ish look. This fashion trend is all about color, unique detailing and relaxed fabrics. It invokes a somewhat Bohemian feel, but is more grounded in a utilitarian vibe -- great for looking effortless but still put together.

And even though the designers' looks are made from expensive fabrics with handcrafted details, this trend can be easily duplicated for a lot less.
