Fashion Me: Summer 2010’s Hottest Trends - In the world of fashion, a new season does not only mean a change in the environment. It’s more importantly a change of trends, colors, textiles, textures—a whole new template by which to dress the world.
In the world of fashion, a new season
does not only mean a change in the environment. It’s more
importantly a change of trends, colors, textiles, textures—a whole
new template by which to dress the world.
At the end of the day, being
fashionable is all in the way you carry yourself. You’ve seen
enough fashion-forward personalities looking quite dreamy in what
would have been a nightmare if worn by anyone else. But if you’re
not one of these rare beings gifted with a fierce sense of style and
self-confidence, here are some of the hottest trends to hit the
fashion world this summer season to clue you in:
Sizzling Shorts
Hot pants are not for everyone, but if
you’re brave enough to try, then go for it girl! Take note that hot
pants are not your everyday idea of “pants” at all. Having the
word “hot” in its name serves to warn you that these articles of
clothing are only to be worn by those who can handle the heat.
With hemlines riding up to shorter than
short, these hot pants give you one more reason to hit the gym
religiously. Pair it with a dainty billowy top, a simple loose tee,
or another hot trend, the boyfriend blazer and chic heels to further
elongate your legs.
From the Boys
The boyfriend blazer is simply that: a
slightly over-sized blazer that is meant to look like you borrowed it
from the boys. Take note though, it may be over-sized, but it should
not swallow your frame. Go for one size bigger, no more, no less.
When choosing one, the shoulders should come no more than an inch and
a half away from your own. Roll up the sleeves for an instant dose of
relaxed cool.
Fashion Wars
Hints of battle gear are all over the
fashion world lately. From gladiator sandals to belts and buckles to
military styles to tribal prints, it seems fashionistas are bracing
themselves for a fashion war. If you’d like to enlist yourself,
remember that the key pieces are leather, metal, buckles, and strong
shoulders. Top with unexpectedly feminine
hair
accessories in dark colors to add a few soft details
to an otherwise masculine look.
Too Cute to be True
From hot to boyish to downright
mannish, this new summer trend takes you to the exact opposite
direction: ultra-feminine.
Hair
accessories have come back with a vengeance. But if
you think it’s back to the good ol’ prim and proper plain Janes
with the plain bows, you’re thankfully wrong!
This summer season, it’s all about
being fun, quirky and free while still celebrating your femininity.
Hair clips are no longer just cutesy
baby
gifts, big girls can wear them now too. Recently seen
on the runways of Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Temperley and
Luella, this is a trend that’s definitely here to stay.
It’s never easy to predict which
trends are keepers and which are simply “flavor of the month.”
These trends may be hot right now, but tacky next season. So how do
you know which one to invest in? Invest in yourself. If you have a
strong sense of self, whatever you wear will merely serve to
complement your glowing personality. Still, what better way to
complement your fun personality than with the season’s fun trends,
right?
