Getting ready for Spring 2008

Speaking about general fashion tendencies for Spring-Summer 2008, it’s worth mentioning, that such colors as pink and orange will dominate as demonstrated by Calvin Klein collection.

· Fresh from the runways of Paris and Milan, muted orange is teemed cleverly with pastel pinks;
· Safer, more classic colors of caramel and olive keep the look neutral for trousers and shorts;
· Classic black is shiny this year and black and silver gray color-blocked ensembles feature heavily for spring, provided they are in lightweight fabrics. White is still universally chic.

According to numerous designer approaches, leather will also have its goal this season. But it is to be noted that this style is not for everyone and is a throwback to the punk rocker days of the '70s, with many zipped features.

As for shirts and pants, fitted and sheer shirts are in, along with bold button-down shirts in contrasting patterns. Light mauves and blues add soft detail to the hardest lines. Baggier, looser fitting trousers (Mike Hammer style) are a keynote style along with wide-legged and wrap-around pants. Moreover, many fashion designers have incorporated short-shorts into their business suits. This spring we’ll be able to observe the mixture of a businessman and a little boy.

Regarding accessories, remember, that bags for the season include bus or satchel-type. Prada’s school satchel style comes in black, green and burgundy, whereas Bottega Venetta showcases creamy white. Avoid the herringbone and put away the houndstooth, but plaid is here to stay. Plaid accessories are big for Spring 2008, be they belts, shoes or flat caps. Bow ties are this year’s novel accessory.

Together with knowing all these modern trends, try not to forget about your own style, which makes you different. Do not overindulge in fashion if you don’t feel like wearing this or that thing. It is not enough to know what is in fashion and wear this thing. It is more important to correspond to what you wear. If you can’t imagine yourself wearing shorts at work, do not do that, otherwise you’ll lose something of your individuality. Besides, if you don’t consider pink t be your color, keep to those colors you are used to wearing. At the same time remember, that while trying something new, you penetrate unknown realms and, who knows, probably, these realms are exactly what you have been looking for…
