If you have not updated your wardrobe yet, it is the perfect time to start putting away the heavy, drab winter clothes and dress up yourself in light and bright colors. So what are you thinking for?
Themes for this summer: Active sports wear, dancer's workout clothes are the inspiration behind Get Sporty collections. Marni's close-fitting jackets were teamed with cropped and stripped leggings.
The designers like Thakoon, Rodarte, and Alexander McQueen seems to be inspired with beauty of roses and peonies this summer. The romantic vision is blossomed with lots of structured dresses, tops and gowns.
Eighteen century's influence is coming back in 2007 with a punk feel. The feminine silhouette is getting larger with eminent volume and layers with a couture-like aristocratic and royal appeal.
Swingy shape dresses and skirts are comfortable to wear in summer. The inspiration came from Yves Saint Laurent's collection of 1958.
Golden and silver looks have gained importance in this season. This season group of fashion designers has not forgotten to use golden, pewter, and coppers colors in slinky dresses, coats, bags and shoes.
With some of these dresses in summer collection you need not wear jewelry as they come with embedded jewelry. Like, an outfit with jeweled neckline avoids the need to wear a necklace.
Colors: Summer has come up with light colors. White is key color of the season. Colors like grey, navy blue have been used to give glamorous look. Bright colors have come back with red-orange and fuchsia. Cool, neutrals will always find a place in your summer wardrobes.
Outfits:The baggy look dresses had been welcomed this season. I feel big, loose-fitting separates can be worn by both slim and slightly overweight women. You can put on perhaps a hat or chunky bracelet with your dress. This summer the length of blouses are little bit longer. It is an inch below navel and covers half of hips.
The black and white combination doesnt look contrast but it moved softer and transformed into shady grey and off white. How about trying the combination of white embroidery on black background or vice versa?
In these sunny days black string bikini is funky and easy to wear. These simple sundresses are perfect for the soaring temperatures without sacrificing style and fashion. To accessorize your outfits, try an over-sized bag with lots of details or bold, bug-eyed sunglasses. These trendy extras are sure to make a fashion statement. So it is time to brush up your cabinet with some sporty, romantic, and sophisticated dresses. Have fun, be creative, and shine this season with these great outfits.
Bags are seeing the same fashion trend as boots: a classic shape with an extravagant twist. Animal print, especially crocodile skin is finding its way onto simple shapes, bold colours are adorning the classic cut and otherwise unassuming bags are finding themselves in the limelight having had a glam makeover.
Day bags. This season sees the quirky twist of the oversize bag. If you can carry this off (excuse the pun) then go for it, if the bulky bag is too much for you then the oversize clutch bag can give daywear a glamorous lift. Faux fur is also an alternative to the bulky bag whilst giving you that must have luxurious style. Bags are no exception to the other trends of the season, metallics, vivid colours especially purples and animal print are all represented on the catwalks.
The contrast of simple and extravagant does not bypass bags either, where casual styles are accented with luxurious detail. Chain is a big look this season, chain handles or just as decoration on the bag itself, glitzy cabochon beads are adorning the corners of neutral coloured bags, distressed leather is being given new life with studs and fabrics are mixing different textures together for a new kind of love. For the retro look bead bags with trailing fringes. If going for the bold colour look then stick to the block of colour with a bag matching the outfit.
Evening bags. There is a renewed trend for the clutch bag, again in metallics, colours and animal print. The minaudiere, or tiny bag is also a trend and can be matched perfectly with metallic ballerina shoes.
If the clutch bag is not for you then shoulder bags with chain strap can be carried leaving your two hands free. Or for carrying overnight things there are some great barrel bags available in this seasons colour trends.
