Fashion trends for 2007 spring/summer

What to wear? It's perpetual question that gives no rest for stylish people and followers of the fashion. What trend is going to win sympathy on the spring and summer 2007? Check the main guidelines.

This spring comes with soft and light colors. No more high contracts, no more dull and grave colors of last season. Even combinations of black and white became softer and changed into shady grey and off white. Try these colors to be on the top this spring; featured combinations are white embroidery ornaments on black background or vice versa. Remember, ornaments and applications are small this season and preferably botanical. Small flowers and herbs grow on dresses, tops, swimsuits and even bags.

Romantic vision is strengthened with a palette of soft colors. They come bleached, creamy, imitating old paper and shady fruits. If you are not into black & white mentioned above, try porcelain elf image. This style contains subtle colors of alabaster, sand, linen white and mixes different textures for contrast look. Use vintage knit work, embroidery on edges of clothing and beaded patterns to create feminine look. Faded and detailed applications give retro feeling. To warm up porcelain white and chalk image, get some medium violet red, eggshell brown or chartreuse green accessories.

All garments of spring and summer are loose-fitting, flying and fluttering in a wind. Blouses keep their length between an inch below navel and half of hips. No more hip-hugging trousers or skirts, remember where your actual waistline is! However this rule has an exception for wearing belt; if you don't want to accentuate your waist, feel free to gird a belt around low line of your hips. Dresses and tunics stay belted at empire-waist, for womanlike image. Remember, this kind of waistline fits larger figures as well as slim built ones.

If you have a bubble skirt from the last fall's trends, don't through it away. But be aware that this spring and summer shine with subtle colors and indistinct glitter. Combine bubble skirt with light flower-patterned jacked and deep pink purse and you will be the stylish one. But change metallic shine garments to silky gloss.

Safari ornaments holds they position this season and are joined by tropical ornaments for exotic vision. Hawaiian patterns even influence men's wear; one should get bright flowered shirt or trousers for guy-on-holiday image. Remember, trousers and shorts became loose again. Loose fitting clothing comes to city boy look as well in form of natural or bleached linen costumes and sensual pirate shirts.

Back to women wear; meet gipsy style and sweet colors, if light and exotic images don't attract you. Mix lime green, papaya and tangerine orange up with sky blue, indigo and all tones of blackberry to create chaotic combinations. Feel free to combine incompatible patterns and colors for careless image. Get long colorful skirt dyed in batik technique.

If none of described color palettes get you in, you probably are the serious person. Try Celtic checked or slight striped costumes. All the shades of sea blue and green go to form the image of harmony and purity. Choose simple patterns and combine several clear colors. But get a couple of foliage printed blouses in your wardrobe, as spring and summer come romantic.

If you want to be on the top, choose garments made out of natural fabrics with handmade looking decorations. Get pleated dress to fly in a summer wind. Try to combine paled colors clothes with deep colored shoes or purse or accessories. This season gives us a vision of light, sweetness and freedom.
