Sparkle and Shine: 2010 Spring and Summer Trends
Get ready for romance as the spring and summer fashions of 2010 hit the stores! Ultra feminine looks offer tiers of flounce, lace, floral patterns and ruffles. Voluminous shapes of lustrous silk and organza provide for pretty party dresses and softly tailored pantsuits. Color trends range from pastel subtle tones to light and bright summer hues.
Sparkle and shine hit the runway again as embellishment continues to climb the fashion charts with sequins, crystals, beading and glitter. Even the most basic T-shirt is upgraded to total decadence this season. If embellishment and romance aren’t on your fashion palette then consider the alternate styles offered this season.
The minimal urban look gives a clean line with a precise silhouette. This architectural clothing is sleek and sophisticated especially in neutral colors. The minimalist style, shy on accessories, offers a simple yet elegant look.
Underwear is the new outerwear. Lingerie inspired pieces such as frilly lace bras over shirts and bustiers will make you blush. Victoria’s Secret is moving out of the store and into the streets.
Simple and sporty weekend wear moves into the weekday. Sleeveless hoodies and drawstring details on track pants with mesh inserts provide comfort and style. The military look carries over from last season with khaki hues in an officer jacket or trench coat, cargo pants and chinos.
The tunic white blouse is a fashion must-try. Add a button down, wrapped or pleated style, whatever best suits your body type.
Shoes this season are skyscrapers with platform heels. Mary Janes with cut out details, T-strap diva shoes, cork wedge heels and high sling backs look great but prove difficult to wear for those long days at the office. Pointed toe flats with pretty detailing and bows or two strap sandals such as gladiators will offer casual comfort.
Transparent accessories are hot! Shop for Lucite bracelets, plastic earrings, or crystal shoes. Even Cinderella would be impressed!
One Wish Fashion List: With so much variety this season shop til you drop and enjoy browsing the racks to create your own distinctive style. A romantic flowing dress with skyscraper heels, a crisp white blouse with a pair of chinos or a sporty ensemble for the weekend will take you from the office to the beach. Have fun with the variety of this season!
