Summer is upon us and most women are excited about the summertime trends that have been picked out by designers. No doubt the economic recession has affected the direction the style trends have taken, but still, there is so much to work with. The trends this summer are simplistic and classic to reflect the changing times. In these styles, look for neutral tones, creams, blacks, whites, tans, browns, pale yellows and soft pinks. The idea is to dress in neutral tones and then top it off with a splash of color, whether dark or light, somewhere on the outfit. This added, bold color could be a necklace, women sunglasses, a handbag or a flashy pair of shoes.
One of the hottest accessories of the season is, without a doubt, are going to be the large, canvas handbags. The popular designer handbags will be primarily neutral tones, deep blacks, pale tans and daisy yellows will be among the most popular because they can be very easily paired with the types of outfits that are going to dominate the runway. For instance, a great outfit would consist of a very simple pencil skirt topped with a low-cut boyfriend tee. This top and bottom should be solids or, if you choose, a very simple type of pattern, but nothing over the top. Then, on top of the tee add a large piece of jewelry like a beaded necklace or some type of light scarf. To top the look off add a pair of black flats and one of the many very flashy black handbags that you are going to start seeing everywhere. This will be the type of outfit that you will see on the streets no matter where you are. It’s simple yet classy and almost every woman will be able to pull it off.
Handbags this season will be on the large side, much larger than in past seasons. They will be hobo in nature, and doctor bags have made a strong comeback. Gone will be the small, uneconomic designer handbags that cost an arm and a leg and only fit a tube of lipstick and a cell phone inside. This season, the functional handbag is making a very strong comeback, and it’s about time. Only once in a while does a season like this one happen. This summer has been deemed every woman’s summer and women everywhere are excited to try the fashion trends that are popping up everywhere.
