Vinyl is a new fall fashion trend. Elizabeth Keatinge has more.
Vinyl, PVC and patent leather used to be reserved for very specific categories: rain gear, dominatrix wear and ladylike accessories. It’s a tricky trend when it comes to ready-to-wear and outside of the typical realms, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a sophisticated version in clothing — until now. Yes, it’s taken a few seasons, but the fashion crowd has officially transformed the high-shine fabric into one you should probably try adding to your wardrobe. And no, it won’t look trashy. We promise.
One look at the industry’s style MVPs and you’ll see what we mean: the vinyl trend looks more catwalk than Catwoman. So, how exactly is the insider set making the material work for them? In pretty much every way imaginable, as it turns out. Trenches are one of the most popular iterations, having shown up at the Spring 2018 shows in droves. In colors varying from black to burgundy to Calvin’s couch cover-inspired PVC wrapped plaid number, It girls were — and are — adding slick, The Matrix-esque toppers to their looks at seemingly every turn.
