Fashion forward in style
Paris, May 19: A life full of basics can get pretty, darn dull. Spring into summer fashion is getting inspiration from the Roaring Twenties flappers (short-term style) to the Fifties flirty vixens (a longer shot), but we don`t want you to turn your closet into a fashion museum worthy costume collection, simply a wardrobe of fresh, wearable, and exciting silhouettes that gets you excited to get dressed again.
So, when you want to think about
A fuller, longer skirt- There’s no doubt that fashion is heading in the direction of knee-length skirts that a have a little fullness or hemline action to them- think trumpet skirt, box pleats, asymmetrical hemline, bias-cut flounce, Fifties inspired circle skirt, and even tiered ruffles.
A well-cut skirt that moves around the knee adds just the right amount of sass to a presumed conservative hemline. The longer, fuller silhouette may take a bit of time to filter into mainstream fashion, but it’s going strong into next fall, and may well be around for a few more years to come. A good investment.
Capri pants- Wasn’t it only just a few seasons ago that cropped pants were the big thing? Yup. And, that’s exactly why they are a classic. Capri’s work so well when worn with other modern big looks like that trench, some ballet flats. It’s a little Fifties, a little Audrey, a lot of timeless style. Don’t feel like hitting the stores? Just cuff straight leg jeans to midcalf- there ya go.
Funky message tee- Tongue-in-cheek, a wallop of irony, sometimes the truth hurts, any saying that make you smile and not take yourself too seriously. A frisky message on a fitted T-shirt (yo, dudettes, that’s not a baggy men’s tee!) is super cool. The more weathered the shirt, the better. Be more than sure that a freebie, giveaway T-shirt which promotes your local insurance company, is most definitely not it.
