Top 10 Trends for Spring/Summer 2008
By Mercedes Gonzalez
WOMEN’S
Let’s Get Physical
Stripes, bright colors, layered jersey tees, pleated skirts, stretch mesh, platform sneakers, and even accessories like whistles, visors, and knee-high sports socks all compete this “sporty” trend.
Embellished Craft
Use of jewels, studs, beads, and metallic discs was seen heavily on the runway this past spring. This trend will translate into more mainstream brands next spring. Think 80s bedazzled sweaters.
Summer Suit
It’s not your classic suit by any means. After all, the summer is about great prints, short shorts, and fun colors. Bermudas with cuffed hems are a bit more conservative paired with a tailored blazer. One piece overall shorts are also making a comeback and are being paired with silk blouses.
Wide Leg
Whether we are talking balloon shapes or tailored pants, hems are cuffed to keep the look tamed. The fabric here is jersey! Wide leg “trouser” jeans are also hot.
