Once we have already talked about modern tendencies for spring-summer 2008. Now I’d like to illustrate these very tendencies with photos from the runways of Milan and Paris:
Neon
This spring designers have thrown in a touch of color, in contrast to previous seasons’ emphasis on neutrals. A touch of bright color can act as a conversation piece, a way to heighten an otherwise bland look, or tie an outfit all together. Still, be sure to keep the color minimal. Try bold colored shoes or an intense button down under a suit jacket. A little neon goes a long, long way.The Biker Jacket
The biker jacket has made a come back this season, and honestly, what woman can resist the bad boy? This spring, the jacket’s return is a bit more upscale. Gucci’s take on it resulted in leather that was silver, candy apple red, and of course, classic black. Other designers embellished it with strategically placed zippers and studs.
Light Layers
Many designers opted for lightweight and sheer fabrics this season. Translucent, pastel and cream-colored shirts and short-sleeved blazers can be worn over white t-shirts. Calvin Klein even debuted jackets made from Lenticular, a glossy plastic material, for a lighter-than-air result. This look creates a relaxed, minimalist look.
One thing, you should not wear this spring:
Parachute Pants
Although M.C. Hammer will be thrilled, the rest of the male population should absolutely, under no circumstances, be caught dead in these pants. The 80s made some huge fashion faux pas and these ridiculous pants were one of them.
