A number of in-vogue trends from 2010 will pour into the spring/ summer fashion of 2012. The runways of New York to Milan were painted in a myriad spectrum, with bold and bright colors like yellow and tangerine taking the center stage. Floral prints will also make a comeback in the upcoming spring/summer, and will be paired up with playful lace and trimmings to make for feminine, chic.
Another trend that will be huge is color-blocking. Color blocking is the simple use of big chunks of colors placed alongside to create geometric shapes, and a bold statement. Color-blocking in shoes, clothes and even handbags will be huge in the upcoming season. With the wise use of this trend, you can even create a slimming effect with the help of dark, somber colors.
White seemed to a common choice on the runways this year, with heavy-weight designers to high-street brands; all using the perfect summer shade extensively. So, bring out all the shades of white stashed in your wardrobe, and pair them with a naughty accessories, or glitter footwear, and you are all set to scorch the town.
Short business suits have been a big hit in women’s fashion in the past season, and will continue to be so this ear as well. The patent choice of celebrity style divas like Blake Lively and Priyanka Chopra; smart, fun short suits make for an-all summer, comfortable ensemble that guarantees heads to turn. Pair them with glitzy chappals (good for daily journals not for web) for a feminine statement or don them with sky-high stilettos for the diva look.
So ladies, the summer is soon to be up on us. Go vibrant, go colorful and paint the town in your shade. Go floral, or go pastel. Go all-white and elegant, or go psychedelic if that’s what your groove is. Just remember to keep it stylish.
