thought i would list 11 new spring trends in 2011...an excerpt from my february newsletter...enjoy!
i don't know about you...but i love all the 'play' that happened early in the year with 1-1-11...so we'll just keep it going with the top 11 spring trends in '11:
1. structural suiting - the menswear suits that gained popularity last fall/winter are still with us...and now with a more fitted silhouette...
2. brights as accents - almost anything can benefit from a pop of color...
3. ladylike handbags - a la jackie o...

4. statement necklaces & scarves - with mixed metals, studs, fringes, feathers - think texture...
5. techno fabrics - again with a metallic edge and texture...
6. belting - a statement belt or layered belts - all shapes and sizes are still 'in'...
7. wide-leg trousers - while your slim-leg trousers are still appropo...now the wide-leg pant is having a resurgence...70's style...
8. longer skirts - but just wearing any old long skirt won't cut it or you'll look frumpy...these skirts need to have lots of styling...

9. animal print - surprise, surprise! yes...it's still around...and i think we can safely say it's not going anywhere for the forseeable future...i've said it before but it bears repeating...animal prints are a great neutral...they work with almost any color...
10. nude fishnets - what a great way to provide some leg camouflage when you don't want bare legs...
11. color of the year - honeysuckle pink...or whatever pink suits your complexion...if you aren't a 'pink' person...think of adding it as an accent item...
so which trend are you excited about trying? please share...
Who's ready for Spring?? ME! These are all great trends :) I love that word, "frumpified!" Pantone picked a great color... that shade of pink looks good on pretty much everyone and it brightens up skin tone.
ReplyDeleteme too! although unlike you stacy...we have been getting spring/summer weather...the flowers are blooming...i think they have been tricked...haha...
ReplyDeletei agree...the honeysuckle is a great color...and looks good on many...
