It's finally time to stuff your winter boots back in your closet and let those tootsies breathe. Spring is the perfect time to break out of your winter garb and strut around in this season's hottest apparel. This season's hot list has been created by top fashion designers to help bring you up to date in style.
1. Gladiator Sandals- these strappy sandals are available in a multitude of colors, ranging from brown and black to vibrant greens and golds. They're also available in flats or heels. These sandals aren't just for celebrities anymore; you can find them for as low as $15 on the net!
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
Designers recommend wearing gladiator sandals with capris to highlight the trendy shoes.
2. Color, color, and more color! Take advantage of the season and its new colorful trends. Lively colors are popular for seasonal staples like pants, dresses, shirts, cardigans, and purses.
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
Designers recommend starting basic, with bold tees in bright yellows or greens, topped off with a black cardigan on colder days. Designers call this popping a color. The Popping a color method is used to jazz up any outfit. If you're a bit color shy and a bright colored shirt is too much to start off with, opt for a brightly colored purse or clutch.
3. Dresses-dresses of all shapes and sizes are a must for the warm seasons. Below are two of the hottest dress fashions you shouldn't miss out on.
" Maxi Dresses-this season's hottest long dresses are available in vivacious colors and patterns. Halter maxi dresses are making a return this season in bold prints. This style of dress is flattering on most body shapes and sizes.
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
Pair a long, flowing, brightly colored dress with gladiator sandals for an ultra trendy look.
" Ruffle dresses- ruffle dresses are very trendy this season. The ruffles typically start after the bust line and go all the way to the end of the skirt (this can add bulk to fuller figures). Most dresses in this style are on the shorter side and not flattering for all figures.
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
Ruffle dresses have a lot going on, so there's no need to dress this style up with a lot of accessories. Designers recommend solid colored heals and a silver or solid colored beaded bracelet.
4. Plaid shirts-get the baggy flannel shirt picture out of your mind. We're talking about form fitting plaids in a variety of fabrics and colors.
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
Pair a flannel shirt with a pair of dark skinny jeans. The flannel shirt will lay nicely over the skinny jeans. Top this look off with a pair of heals to add a touch of femininity.
5. One shoulder shirts- one shoulder shirts are elegant and sexy. They are very versatile in that they can be dressed up or down.
Designer Outfit Suggestion:
To dress up this fashion, pair it with a knee-length, flowing black skirt. To dress down, pair with a knee-length denim skirt or form fitting jeans.
Okay girls, now you should be armed with enough ammo to rock 2009's warm weather hottest trends. Follow the designer outfit suggestions and summer won't be the only thing heating up.
