The most pleasant and warm seasons, summer is around the corner and it's time to think about how to properly update your wardrobe. After the summer - it's not just picnics and trips out of town on vacation and foreign resorts. Summer - a walking warm moonlit evenings. This meeting with friends and noisy night-school students and open-air'y. This is going to the cinema and clubs. It is time, filled with incredible life and pulsating rhythm. In this article we will try to feel the pulse of fashion trends of the coming summer.
Color
In place of the muted brown and purple shades, which prevailed in the autumn-winter season, this summer come too quiet, muted pastel colors. Basically, it's subtle shades of candied fruit and marshmallow: pale pink, pale lemon, pale peach and purple, as well as all kinds of turquoise blue. The only exception to the general sweet idyll was perhaps the blue (spring-summer collection of Dolce & Gabbana).
But the undisputed leader of colors this season is eternal, noble, immaculate white. Total "bleaching" in this season are subject to all wardrobe items. White abound in collections pret-a-porter, and clothing more affordable brands. But, despite the fact that, according to Christian Dior, "a woman who dresses in white, will not get any of depression and bad moods", do not forget that it is - a very difficult color. It requires impeccable taste, to be honest, a good figure.
Texture and cut
The appearance on the catwalk dazzling white things, clear lines and shapes made many wary in anticipation of a new round of minimalism. But nothing to worry about: the quality of materials, fit and finish details more than compensate for its apparent simplicity. In the coming season are relevant cotton, chiffon, cotton and crocheted lace embroidery, silk and satin (the latter, however, are more represented in the accessories).
Subjects
Most popular this summer will be a nautical theme. Vividly it is represented in the collections of John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli, as well as the "red thread" runs in all lines of accessories. This, for example, blue court shoes from Chanel, yellow leather bag c chains and anchors from Louis Vuitton or sandals with lots of ropes and knots, like Paco Rabanne.
Another hit of the summer season - a cheerful polka dots. "Pea" dresses, tops and skirts have become more severe type, but, nevertheless, have not lost their romance. And there is, to choose whether it would be expensive model from Emanuel Ungaro or more cost-effective and affordable Mango or Sinequanone - the last word is yours.
Remained on the catwalks and poppy cornflower "Russian" theme. However, like any other ethnics.
On the bright prints in the spirit of Provence, we seem to be apart until the autumn, when the effect of weather conditions will have to shelve bright floral and geometric patterns (Gucci, Christian Lacroix, Salvatore Ferragamo and Jean Paul Gaultier).
Dresses
Of course, summer is already possible to love another opportunity for a variety of dresses to wear without fear of freezing. This summer, this type of clothing ever underscores our femininity. Light, flowing, knee-length or ankle length, with lots of frills and ruff. But the big "squeak" of fashion - it is certainly dull silk dresses: similar to those that adorn the collection Spring-Summer 2006 by Fendi.
Skirts
This season does not limit the ladies choice. You can hide your knees asymmetric drape and allow them only occasionally peek out from under the frills. However, just as it is not forbidden publicly display the beauty of your feet, which only emphasizes the mini-skirt, dark denim, is also significant in the list of top - textures of this summer.
Accessories
Summer bags, according to lawmakers the world of fashion, should be large and roomy - such that you can go with a protracted meeting at any social event and feel quite comfortable at the same time.
Prada and Valentino offer in the new season to combine dense fabric with different types of skin. Salvatore Ferragamo and Dolce & Gabbana take a woven straw bag, not only for a picnic, but also in the office. And Stella McCartney and advises all summer to hide all his treasures in the flat capacious "shopping bags". And, of course, a wardrobe of any fashionista will not do this summer without a white leather bag that can be worn as a dress with a light, and with jeans or khaki shorts rude.
The undisputed leader Spring-Summer 2006 - wide belts, clasping her waist, as a corsage, with a huge buckle. Such models abound in the collections of fashion-industry stars like Yves Saint Laurent and Roberto Cavalli, and in the public collections of stamps. Narrow belt a little and surrendered their positions, are still in demand. This summer, they are very elegant - with pictures and studs, like Motivi, Guess ?, Ice B and Diesel.
