New York Fashion Week just ended. While it may seem early to be thinking about spring fashion, some trends emerged that will start seeping into stores earlier than you think. Here's what experts have concluded about Spring 07:
1. Dresses: Once again the key ingredient for spring. You will continue to see babydoll, shift, kimono, and wrap dresses, but adding to the mix are tent, sack, trapeze, (inverted triangle) and bell shapes.
2. Skinny Pants/Jeans: Pants for spring are super tight drainpipe style and ankle length. Paired with a boxy cropped jacket, the look is extraordinary.
3. Florals: Large or small print, appliqués, rosettes, etc...they were all represented en masse.
4. Colors:
-Yellow: Unfortunately, the color that few can wear is back in tones from buttercream to marigold.
-Grey: Slightly metallic in lighter-weight fabrics, ranging from dove grey to charcoal.
-Black and White, together.
-Purples
-Gold and Silver together.
6. Large buttons.
7. Fabrics: Eyelet material, in both black and white, light-guage cashmere, lace, chiffon, satin and silk. Unfortunetly, crocheted fabric is also making a comeback. Maybe even chainmail! (That was sooo my idea like 2 years ago)
8. Shorts: Bermudas, walking shorts and tap shorts are back with a vengeance.
9. Pleats: it looks like they are emerging again. They have been seen on skirts, dresses and pants.
10. One-piece bathings suits with cut-outs. Bikinis won't be in fashion for much longer! Weird, huh?
There are some great images on ELLE.com!
Happy Christmas shopping!
