Key Trends For Spring-Summer

Key Trends For Spring-Summer Spring has sprung and with it a new set of key trends have arrived to brighten up our wardrobes! We have already begun refreshing their looks with a range of new items set to be big this season. Hot pants and shorts Those lucky enough to have great pins will find plenty of opportunity to show them off in 2010. For the rest of us, it may be time to start visiting the gym in order to work this trend. Shorts will be big this year, and whether they’re tailored or denim, you can find a pair to add to your wardrobe. If you aren’t confident enough to go bare-legged, try pairing them with some patterned tights. Sporty clothing We’re not talking velour tracksuits! Sporty clothing for 2010 has evolved into classy tomboy trends inspired by designers like Alexander Wang and their interpretation of ‘sports cool’. Think cross-lacing, cropped tops, low slung jersey trousers and drop-waist tennis inspired pleated skirts. Finish your look with a casual side plait or a dance-inspired topknot. Sheer fabrics Following the ‘under-wear as outer-wear’ catwalk styles, sheer fabrics have reached the high street to make this a wearable look in 2010. Don’t worry, we aren’t talking about 90s-style skin-tight see-through dresses and tops. Sheer fashion this year will be about feminine lines and layering. Keep it subtle: one sheer item paired with something more modest can provide an elegant look. Boyfriend blazers This is still an essential way to cover up on cooler days or evenings. The ‘boyfriend’ blazer is modest and cool and will complement a range of outfits. Go for a slightly oversized jacket and roll up the sleeves for an effortlessly relaxed look that exposes your wrists for a feminine twist.
