This Season’s
Trends - What to wear
Spring/Summer
2010 Trends
From laid back neutrals and utility wear to
feminine florals and denim pieces. A season of frothy ruffles,
flounces, frills, pastels, lots of lace and all out girly
prettiness. In contrast, there are the military or utility
styles that are both hardwearing and chic. Romantic vs. sporty,
utility meets lace, meets lycra, meets silk, a season of many
contrasts. Sculptural corsetry, raw edges and underwear as
outerwear - a season of extremes.
Out on
safari
This falls into two looks - utilitarian safari
styles in khaki, stone and camel and then big tribal batiks
and cat prints. Animal prints to safari suiting. Classic chic
or wild.
Pretty
in Pastels
Ice cream shades in floaty fabrics gives a girly
look. Pastel shades and sweet shop pastels- baby blue, marshmallow
pink, pale yellow, pale lilac and spearmint. A very soft and
delicate palette. Pretty ginghams return, keep it pale and
interesting.
Short story
Shorts are a big story this season, the tinier the
better. Styles range from frayed denim to cycling shorts to
high waist florals . Dress down by teaming with a slouchy
tee, blazer and brogues or dress them up with a lace top and
heels.
Denim
Wear double denim - head to toe denim is huge this
season- team a denim shirt with jeans or a denim bustier with
denim shorts, or double up with a western chambray shirt and
jeans. Dungarees, jackets, dresses, shorts, knee length skirts
can all be found in denim.
Go Nude
From earthy nudes to pale pinks, flesh, taupe, ecru,
oatmeal, biscuit, sand
.non colours are the new colours.
Go for subtle romantic shades, blush colours and delicate
detailing. Wear with a crisp white. If you do not have a golden
complexion keep nude tones to your bottom half.
Prints
Eye popping patterns. A riotous kaleidoscope of colours
and print- Tribal, ikat, madras, animal, checks, florals,
stripes and digitally manipulated abstract prints- mix them
up, dont be afraid to clash them.
Military
Distressed and destroyed army surplus. Reconsider
the combat pant ( remember those), army shirt , utility jacket
and olive shirtdresses. Layer khakis and neutrals and wear
with lace up boots. Think urban camouflage.
Sports
Chic
Sports inspired looks are big this season. Track
pants and jogging bottoms are worn outside of the gym. Lycra
mini dresses, hi-tech fabrics, neoprene tops, athletic vests,
clever cut-outs and go-faster piping are all sportswear inspired.
Floral
Whether ditsy or bold, team floral with chic utility
pieces. Wear clashing floral separates or choose a pretty
slip dress.
All White
Head to toe white - pure and chic. The white shirt
is big news this season and comes with frills, flounces, tiered
and buttoned up,from flamboyant to stiff and starched. Prairie
styles, shifts, slips and the white blazer returns.
