Your summer image 2008

When it comes to summer, people are likely to considerably change their wardrobe, not always understanding quite clearly, why they have bought this or that thing, that doesn’t go with anything else.

Here are some modern tendencies for the summer 2008, which, to tell the truth, will surely remain timely next summer as well.

Lighten up
Think drawstring pants, Henley shirts, thermal tops, tapered trousers and fabrics such as silk, light wool, and distressed cotton will be of good avail at the hottest day. Patterns and colors are important as well. Light colors, understated stripes, and some seam detail here and there are key. A faded Henley with a cotton suit is a perfect match. Thermals go with just about anything, and, of course, are a great layer to keep warm on cool nights.

Do not abandon sweaters
It is true to say that all sweater types from crewneck to v-neck to sweater vests can be found in more luxurious, softer gauges, suitable just for cool summer nights. Best of all, you can find a fashionable, transitional sweater at any price. And because it can be worn with everything from a formal suit to jeans and everything in between, it will also be one of the most versatile pieces you own.

Immortal jeans and denim
Resist buying the pre-washed, pre-torn, pre-fabricated look off the rack. Instead, buy a pair of jeans you love that fit great and work with your style and start to work on them yourself. Wear them often. Let them stretch so the heels drag a little bit, guaranteeing a subtle fray on the seam.
When it comes time to wash, it's best to give them a good scrub in your tub with cold water, a little detergent and some vinegar to prevent fading. If you want a wrinkled effect, wrap them in rubber bands and let them dry.

Do not be afraid of experimenting with colors
Summer is the time of bright colors and experiments. Do not hide your individuality - go for a pair of red leather slip-ons. You'd be surprised at how well they mix with a pair of dark or gray jeans. Throw on a tee and a blazer (be sure to incorporate the color elsewhere in the outfit) and the shoes become the thing that ties your look together.

Wear those things you fill comfortable in, give preference to natural breathing fabrics and enjoy summer 2008 in full!!!
