Spring Fashions: A Time Machine of Ideas

8 April 2010 240 views View Comments



Look out this spring as animal print, floral, plaid and denim lead the way for the must have prints for any look. Fashion also takes a step back in the past and brings some new twists to what your grandma wore in the 50’s and your mom in the 80’s. This season, anything goes and individuals do not have to worry about pricey pieces that will be out faster than yesterday’s trash.
When going out this spring, the key to any outfit is make it loud and wear it proud. Whether you are wearing a dress with a flowing floral print or jeans and a bright zebra tank top, make sure you rock it.

While rocking it, make sure to show off those legs. Skirts are in and not just any skirts; high-waisted and short. It’s time to bring back the circle skirts from Happy Days and team up with Madonna’s risky fashion. To help strut your stuff, go for gladiator wedges, ballet flats and of course every girl’s favorite – pumps.

Bright colors are the rage, and the best thing to work plain pieces is washed out denim. The 90’s are back, and you’ve got to have an accessory to every wardrobe. Team up these bright solid pieces with a denim vest, shorts, jeans or skirt.

The summary for this season: every era is back with a modern twist, so wear short circle skirts like the 50’s, rock the big glasses from the 60’s, wear big belts from the 70’s, bright colors from the 80’s and denim from the 90’s. During this retro year, it’s the time for any girl to make her own style impression.

Girls aren’t the only ones this season stepping out on the runway. While girls are stepping back in time, men’s fashion is springing foward. Bringing a Miami Vice feel and the casual yet fashionable surfer look, there are styles for every male.

Dark colors paired with plaids or solids are the key factors for guys to pull off the model walk. These pairs bring a classic look in an edgy way. The solids are key to making the outfit work. Bright and pastel colors are to be used when planning regular day events compared to the darks and pales for a more classic night look.

Shirt styles range from plain tee’s, polos, v-necks and button downs. To dress these plain shirts up or down consider zip up hoodies or a classic blazer.

Dark jeans are a must for the summer, and whether they’re distressed or perfectly pressed, skinny or straight legged, this item creates a casual yet fashion forward look. Jeans not your style for the warmer days? Try either white or light khaki shorts along with dark greens or browns.

Shoes for guys may not be a fetish, but to complete any look this summer, a pair of nice thong sandals, white converse, TOMS or black dress shoes will be versatile and comfortable.

To complete any look no matter what your fashion sense may be, a good pair of sunglasses is a simple accessory for guys to vogue out their outfits. Girls watch out because the perception of men fashion is changing into more than the everyday jeans and a t-shirt look.
