Fashion Forward 2008
The high street turns around new looks before the designers can stay stop that’s my design. How do we remain individual when we can only afford to shop at the same places and are literally forced to wear the same trends?
Style is some thing that should radiate from us but how many of us already know that this is wishful thinking
Let’s look at the trends for spring summer 2008 and what we might expect a style savvy fashionista to be wearing.
On the horizon we have denim heavily featured in the Chanel S/S 08 collection, 1950’s style prom dresses brings a touch of girlie glamour however to be bang on trend you must go out and buy some thing with flowers. Floral power hints of a scent of spring and the optimism of New Year and innocent sex appeal.
The blazer look is still in for the chilly evenings make sure you team yours with accessories to give it character, for classic style keep to muted tones, to stand out in the crowd you really need to go for bright blue. Blue is one of the key looks of the summer with all the different shades being showcased in different fabrics and looks
The sunset is an inspirational colour for those who want to be ahead of the crowd, think of soft hues in red, pink and orange
Other than trends for the perfect look you need to balance your body shape,
Let’s take time to really sit down and think how do I dress for my body shape, most of us can only judge whether if something looks good when we try it on, but what happens when we just still don’t know and can’t make up your mind, how many of you have found yourself in that dilemma?
Well let’s start with a new perspective and make sure you follow these rules in 2008. Printed dresses are absolutely fabulous they are great for us curvy ladies, problem areas are hidden and if you stick to dark colours this will help slim down your figure. The dress can also take you from office to after work drinks in one fell swoop.
The shops are all sporting big bangles they are cheap and can easily update any outfit, don’t forget to balance with similar accessories so platform shoes or wedges is a must to make the look big and bold
Belts have been in for many seasons and it looks like its here to stay, the reason why it works is because it really nips in the waist making our outfit say look at me I have a fantastic figure!
Skinny Jeans and trousers are best left to slim girls but if you can’t live without them cheat and choose a cut that gives the same illusion, to pull this look of you need to remember your sky scraper heels to elongate your legs
For those who can’t stick to a healthy diet plan forget the body con look, this is high maintenance, instead think romantic ruffles and wow everyone with nude tones and quirky details
