Fashion 2011: The Different Styles of Spring


Spring Style 2011Spring fashion has turned back time. The 60s and 70s fashion are back together with bold colors and chiffon dresses. If you are gearing towards the hottest trend this season, all you have to do is a little flashback to a few decades ago.

The hallmark of this year’s spring style is the boot cut and flared jeans which are popular in the showrooms of stores and on the streets. Many women, including Cami Krablin, are glad to have the boot cuts back. Flared is the newest silhouette for jeans, especially the flattering pants with high waistline and full legs. Aside from flared jeans, vintage blouses are on the rack. The Downtown store, which is known for their vintage looks, is offering ‘70s embroidered blouses and vests. Peasant tops tossed with beads is also very hippy.

Aside from the pants, the chic and breezy clothes also counts this year. Even Lady Gaga, who’s fond of bold looks, have honed to perfection in draping silk kimono on Vogue’s March cover. Fabrics like sheer chiffon and organza, fluid silks and satins and knits and crochet are also fab.

As opposed to last year’s grey colors, this year shouts with explosive brights to layers of white. Colors such as bright poppy, coral, orange and hot pink are high. Turquoise and cobalt blue look even more fashionable if worn in combinations of two or three, or create tonal mixes such as two shades of green. Floral and fruit prints are also favorable this year. Furthermore, to offset the bold colors, gentle nudes and stark white is hip this year.

Trench coats are also in that fashion. Floral prints, bold colors, satin and silky fabrics, with addition of animal prints.
