Top Ten fashion trends for Spring 2009

Fashionworld — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:39:38 -0800

Spring is here at last with some exciting trends-a lot of which we’ll all be able to pull off, no matter what our body type. I think the look in general will be soft and extra-feminine. Check out some of the most interesting trends:

Spring is all about colors, so make sure you wear plenty of it. Vivid colors like hot pink and electric blue will be really big.
In vogue this season is the little white dress for its glamour quotient.

Feminine floral prints are also going to make a comeback this spring and butterfly motifs and prints will also be quite popular.

Accessories are going to be really big this season. Opt for long oversized necklaces, big bangles and bold jewelry, stylish handbags.

Jewel encrusted clothing are also going to make a come back and will not be restricted to evening wear. In 2009 they return brighter, bolder, and more elegant. This time pieces are not just embellished but often completely encrusted by jewels; the feeling is luxurious, exotic, and yet the glamour remains somewhat understated.

In Spring fashion tends to get a little more revealing; the combination of sheer and opaque fabric will work wonders. 2009’s sheer pieces are a mixture of the soft and feminine.

Flairs, ruffles and bows are also smart options for spring. Look for bows at the shoulders and hips and ruffles at hemlines.

High waisted skirts and pants will make a style statement this season, so make sure you own them.

Single shouldered dresses and tops as well as asymmetric shoulder-lines have made a huge return in 2009. Its versatility and endless possibilities to wear it makes it one of the hottest trends.

Bohemian look will make a powerful statement this season. The best way to pull this off this Spring is to pair a bohemian styled piece with something a bit more conservative like a beige skirt or vest.

Each new season brings with it a sense of excitement. I’m looking forward to vivid colors, bold accessories and feminine prints. www.CarmaWorld.com displays an exclusive collection of apparels and accessories which I really liked. Do let me know your take on these trends.

It's still raining but I've already decided it's going to be all about Luxotica this Spring. That's why I'm smitten with Target's accessories collection. It's brimming with ethnic-inspired touches such as woven totes, embellished sandals, and rich patterns. The bright, bold colors are so refreshing and I can already see myself wearing this cool, printed men's fedora, seen below, with a tank, bikini, and sandals - Brazilian style, baby!

This budget-friendly collection, priced from $5 to $35, will make it easy for me to pick and choose to my heart's content. Target's adornments are available online and in stores. In fact, I already bought the orange version of the bangle seen below ($11). Dig in.

Amongst the bevy of cute animal prints and flowy fabrics in Rebecca Taylor's Spring collection were some amazing handbags, shoes, and jewels. These confections were actually from her newly launched accessories line, debuting in stores come Spring.

“It’s something that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” said Taylor. “Every woman loves shoes and handbags. We didn’t want to start it unless it was in a very meaningful way.”

Taylor's collection, priced from $300 to $400 for footwear and $150 to $300 for jewelry, will encompass the designer's pretty-meets-urban style. Boots and flats have a funky edge, while bags and jewels are embellished with crystals and sequins such as the handbag seen here.
