Fashion trends for Spring / Summer 2007 |
 Key fashion trends for spring and summer 2007 include: bright accessories, wide-leg trousers, mini dresses, cutout wedges and everything in metallic. Sixties, seventies and even eighties styles are still influencing the upcoming season.
Mini dresses are very popular this season. We’ve seen them over the past couple of seasons but the mini dress remains very strong trend also for the upcoming spring and summer. They range in style from sexy to innocent and from girly to flirty. We can also see variety of different shapes. Baby doll dresses are still very strong but we can also see more fitted minis, with attention paid to the waist. Mini dresses always look great when you wear them with high wedges to make your legs look really long.
Wide trousers are also very trendy this season. You can wear them with a feminine top and easily create this retro masculine style. It’s good to pair them with platform heels. Wide-leg jeans are popular for spring and summer 2007 as well. Skinny jeans are also here to stay but at the same time wide-leg jeans are very trendy. On the other hand shorts are still big as they were last season. You can always look for a little longer pair of shorts and pair them with flowy blouses.
Prints are making a comeback for the spring and summer. We will see floral, animal and 70s style prints this season. Floral prints have been seen on the major fashion shows and they looked sophisticated. Printed accessories will look good but also printed blouses, skirts, dresses and coats can make you look in style for spring and summer.
For spring and summer 2007 designers have created a new feminine look. The concept of the look is to pair more structured pieces with something what is much softer and flowy. The look is very intriguing because it’s hard and soft at the same time. This hybrid definitely defines strong women of the modern society.
We are going to see lots of metallic shades this season. Many designers have presented more futuristic clothes on the catwalks. The clothes have a feel of harder materials like metals and resin and some have an 80s touch, with a punk sense. It’s not necessary to wear this look head to toe. The metallic shade of the season look great in dresses or tunics but you can also go for metallic accessories and look trendy. We will see lots of metallic shades combinations, but gold have a tendency to look more romantic while silver is always ultramodern.
After a very dark fall and winter we will see very strong bright colours, like yellow and cobalt in the upcoming season. It’s good to remember to balance those intense colours. You can easily do that by wearing browns and khakis that are great counterpoint to these unexpected colours.
Must-haves for spring and summer 2007 are bright accessories. We’ve already seen celebrities adding a punch to their outfit with a bright yellow Fendi bag. Tones ranging from citrus to neon are the most popular for shoes, belts and bags. Metallic jewelry and futuristic-looking accessories are key trends this season.
Spring and summer are great seasons for everyone. It’s time for new clothes, new look, new holiday destinations and this year it’s also time for new bright colours. Have fun mixing new fashion trends and remember to be feminine and a create a style that is uniquely yours. It’s always good to enjoy fashion and not to be a slave to fashion.
