It is springtime and vibrant-colored flowers are in bloom, birds are singing, the sun is brightly shining, and the mood is bright. When spring arrives, it rubs off a recognizable happiness and spirit of renewal. The same spirit is evident in women’s fashion styles for the spring season this year.
“Spring fashion for 2008 is all about being unrestrained, having fun and just feeling happy,” Lydia Vitale-Sweet, district sales manager for dressbarn in Whitestone said. “There are a myriad of vibrant, go-lucky styles hitting the retail racks, and they are gaining popularity. Women will not only enjoy the shopping experience with fashion diversity blooming this spring, they will also delight in wearing outfits that will add on to their already happy aura.”
Vitale-Sweet lists styles that will break-through this spring season:
1. Print Power - Put a little “oomph” in your wardrobe by looking for styles patterned with big flowers, geometrics, pop art, dots and borders. Look for fresh, new color combinations that bring prints alive.
2. Citrus - Oranges, limes and lemons are tart, but they are also sweet, bright and cheerful - taking center-stage in trendy colors for fashion this season. These vibrant colors will brighten any day.
3. Trapeze - This wonderfully fluid silhouette accents the shoulders and flatters most figures in a flowing and forgiving way. It is the shape of things to come.
4. Baby doll - The baby doll style is going to come in many prints as you peruse through racks at retail stores. This style accentuates one of the narrower parts of a woman’s body, right below the bust, attractively flattering the figure.
5. Knit dress - The new silhouettes of baby dolls, trapeze and wrap, in prints ranging from classic monotones to florals and vibrant summertime prints are perfect for any occasion.
6. Sundresses - Just right paired with flat sandals or espadrilles for a casual day and picture perfect for a fun-filled party when paired with strappy heels.
7. Shine - Charmeuse is slinky, smooth and sensual, especially in blouses and dresses. The combination of prints and borders keep shine fresh for the season.
8. Citi Shorts - This length is very flattering; and, is perfect paired with a heel for a sophisticated work look or a flat sandal for casual.
9. The New Jacket - Take your pick - double-breasted, 3/4 sleeves, swings, boleros and trapeze shapes, vibrant colors and bold prints bring added excitement.
10. Wood and Shell - It is all about natural materials in jewelry this season. Look for shell pendants, necklaces, earrings and bangle bracelets in both soft shades of natural white and pink and vibrant tones of green, yellow and turquoise. Wood jewelry in deep, dark brown accented with gold metal for a clean, modern look will add drama to summer brights.
11. Shoe Shine - Time for a pedicure! Choose gems and metallics to add sparkle to your sexy summer sandals and accessories.
