6 trends to try and stand out at the Fashion Awards

The fashion and style awards are on this Thursday at the MTN Arena. If you haven’t yet gotten your ticket you better do before the D day. After getting that ticket next on the list must be the oufit of the evening. Obviously every woman is going to wear lace, stripes, leather or denim. Some other ladies will try out the cut out design but it will still fall in the trends above. Colour blocking is so 2012 so maybe no one will try it.

Here I share with you seven trends you will try on and stand out from the rest. It’s too painful when you take time to match your cute dress only to find four other ladies wearing the same dress. So let’s all plan on standing out, don’t share these trends with anyone. Just pick and custom create for yourself.

1. Fringed dress

This one is as beautiful as it sounds. Not many people wear fringed skirts or dresses on this dusty street of ours. You will surely stand out. It’s probably Juliana’s favorite trend right now. She wore one on her concert and later on Tusker Project Fame 6. This will work with any body type and size.

2. Tattered dress

Definitely no one even has an idea of wearing this kind of dress. All style websites and magazines will talk about you after the event. Actually the award for best dressed will go to you.

3. Geometric patterns

These have been ruling the runways all over Europe. It’s a new take on prints. Its not what anyone will wear or think about wearing. Did I mention that only Satisfashion UG readers now know about it. Shut up! Don’t share. Just run to a store near you and look for it.

4. Animal Print

This is a new take on the animal print. It’s not the skin pattern but the animal silhouettes themselves. Trust me no one  will dress like this at the awards. 

5. Metallic colours

Try metallic colors in your clothing however nothing is as trendy as metallic accessories. Shoes and bags in gold and silver will make you shimmer away as you watch our creative director Ssentongo Hassan win the award for the Best Fashion Writer. (wink wink)

6. Ugandan designs

Obviously everyone either visited the boutique or they are planning to. Why not stand out from that whole bunch and visit one of Uganda’s own designers to create something unique for you. Designers such as Kwesh, Renzioni, Juliana Okori and Kunda will make you that unique design. This will not only make you stand out, it will make you support our own Ugandan talent. 

It’s high time you did what a girl’s gotta do! Go get that outfit that no one else is going to wear. See you at the awards. Make it a point to share with me your style looks of the evening.
