Fashion Tips - What’s Hot This Spring

Well girls, spring is here and the change of wardrobe is probably the harshest one throughout the year, as you go from the heavy winter jacket to very light springwear. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some information on what’s going to be hot this spring, based on what the fashion designers are telling us.

You see, all throughout the fall of 2008, from New York to London and from Paris to Milan, all the famous fashion designers showcased their 2009 spring collections to the public. Those of you who missed what garments were paraded down the catwalk, don’t despair! Here’s a quick round-up of this year’s spring trends.

Firstly, in order to be fashionable, you should sport clothes coloured in neon hues: orange, yellow, blue, red and pink. Actually, the star colours of this spring are: magenta (raspberry pink) and electric blue.

For a prom or a party, a short dress, frilly, ruffled or strapless is a head-turner. It’s not only exquisite, but youthful. And let’s be fair: it will show off your legs. Elegant dresses are embellished with beads, lace and embroidery. It is compulsory to wear stiletto-heels and a clutch.

It’s the jumpsuit that made fashion waves on the catwalk. Nevertheless, some fashion critics claim it’s unwearable. Because of its cut and generous décolletage, the jumpsuit is a successful look only for a daring young lady. Regardless of the fabric it is made of, the jumpsuit remains very classy. It’s best teamed with high-heels.

As far as the daily casual look is concerned, skinny jeans are still in style. Tucked into knee-high boots and paired up with a vivid coloured t-shirt, these jeans create a cool outfit that can be appropriately donned at school or downtown. Harem pants are also in, outlining a laidback style. They are normally cut flapping on top, still tapered above the ankle. Depending on the fabric used, they are the impact-element of a casual or sophisticated outfit.

If you prefer the rock style, short leather jackets, either with an asymmetrical zip or with two row button, are all the rage. Moreover, the leather pencil skirt is in fashion. In the upcoming season, both short denim vest and cardigans are a must have. Furthermore, floral prints are back in the vogue.

As for the footwear fashion, ballet flats, pumps and slippers are still popular. When it comes to the accessories, big bangles and hoop earrings will draw all eyes on you. The shoulder bags as well as the tots are not only up-to date, but practical and comfy. All in all, these are the hottest trends this spring. Remember to dress up: it’s all about creativity!
