It's hard to believe April is here and spring is finally here. With snow still in many parts of the country, many are wishing and praying for warmer weather. Most people have not really considered replacing sweaters and coats with shirts and jackets, but the time is here.
Stacked bracelets are back in fashion for spring. Plain silver bands or bracelets crowded with diamonds and every design in between are adorning arms. It doesn't matter what your financial status is, wearing multiple bracelets will have you fitting in.
The slouchy pant has made a comeback. It is totally wearable for all kinds of body types. So whether you are short or tall, fat or skinny or anywhere in between, the slouchy pant may be for you. The length can stop just below the knee, at calf length, angle length or reach all the way to the floor. The slouchy pant for Spring 2010 is anything from a khaki or chino with a little more room through the hip, to the flowing wide legged beauties from Isaac Mizrahi, Marc Jacobs, Badgley Mischka, Oscar de la Renta and many more. Be advised to keep the top slim to balance the fullness on the bottom.
Blazers appear to be replacing cardigan sweaters. The blazer can be worn open or over-sized, as well as tailored and fitted. For a twist, the blazer can even be belted. Vests are also in fashion as the trend to layer our clothing continues.
The trend for shredded jeans has not disappeared, just taken a turn for the fancy. Replacing the space between the shreds are layers of lace. All kinds of denim will work. You can choose skinny, slouchy, shredded or tailored. A lighter weight to denim called chambray is also the new look. The chambray dress can be hooded, embroidered, basic or belted. The choices are endless.
Shirts and dresses can have ruffles and lace or sport the nude look. Colors can range from classic black and cream to bright, bold patterns and colors. Long skirts have slits cut to the top of the thigh and the jumpsuit is back for anther try.
If some years back you were a fan of the wide lapels for men along with the wide ties, then you are in luck, the look is back. For women, however, anything goes. She can mix and match colors and styles, stripes with flowers, short pants with blazers, formal with casual and denim with lace.
The canvas tennis shoe is back too. You can belt a dress or not belt a dress. You can add giant bright colored bows to your hair or wear a headband with a bow attached. Short boots, medium high boots or over the knee boots are acceptable. Big bags are in again and can be made of leather or pleather, basic black to bright green. It's hard to go wrong in fashion this season.
