2012’s summer is here! It’s the time to flaunt your fully
worked out bodies again! Isn’t it exciting? Vibrant colors, different cuts and
outrageous fashion trends are again up this season. Definitely, this is the
season where fashion is at its prowess!
Fresh from the runways, here’s the list of this year’s
summer trends. Beat the heat with what’s new and what’s in for the fashion
industry.
Pastels – It’s all about pastels this year. Probably not
only this summer but the whole year. Soft colors and smoother cuts are
designer’s favorites for this season. Mixing and matching these colors are also
for keeps. This season’s reigning colors are feminine and ladylike. Loud and
proud? It’s best to experiment with these colors and add an edge to the cuts
and styles of the outfit.
Cropped Tops – Not those vintage tees. Straight from Miu
Miu, Prada and Dolce & Gabanna’s runway, cropped tops paired with flared
and pencil cut skirts are absolutely fabulous. These two piece wonders are cut
from floral designs that are also a hit this summer! This trend would give your
amazingly sculpted abs the attention it’s worthy of.
Bold Florals – I myself am not a fan of floral or heavily
printed clothes but for this season I might probably give it a shot. From small
to huge floral designs, this print is definitely hot this season. Floral prints
are all over designers’ collections this season from airy maxi dresses, mini
dresses, fluffy skirts and cropped tops! Certainly the best to liven up the
sunny season.
Paisley – A different take on designs. If you’re not fond
of florals like me. You can go for paisley prints. Also a must have and is in
trend this summer. Jill Sanders and Stella McCartney’s collections are inspired
by this lovely print.
Yellow – Certainly, yellow is ALWAYS the color of the
summer season. It steals the spotlight with its different shades from sunny
yellows to warm yellows. It’s always in style to add a pinch of this color.
20’s – With The Great Gatsby release in the movies, this
season’s fashion was highly influenced by the 20’s fashion. With sleek short
hair style, conservative yet sharp clothes and clothe hats, the runway was
filled with art deco designs, a variety of pleats and glitters and low waisted
dresses with fullness at the hemline. It screams sophistication and sexy.
Pyjama – One of the key fashion trends that Spring/Summer
has for us is Pyjamas! These trousers in highly patterned clothes makes the
floral designs look not over feminine. Patterns of ethnic, animal prints,
florals and to almost any print can be eye-catching (in a good way) when paired
with adorable top and sexy high heels.
Sportswear – Let’s get physical. With summer already
here, there’s no excuse not to stay outdoors. It’s best to brag your sportswear
in line with this season’s hottest designs. Why not?
Grids and Checkboards – New patterns! J I’m
so happy to see new patterns in style this summer. Although we’d be sticking to
blacks, the black and white combination looks refreshing and clean.
Neon – This one’s for the daring fashionistas. With
bright yellows, hot pinks and show-stopping orange; be prepared to be the
center of attention! This trend is new and is for the young and young at heart.
Definitely a trend not to miss out!
Till next season!
