Summer 2009: What’s in and What’s OutFashion seems to be kicking our butts lately, as everything is changing faster than you can say summer. But fear not, even though styles are changing and new things are always appearing, you have to remember that if you find something that looks good on you and advantages your body type, you should definitely stick to it! Also, keep in mind your personal styles…as fitting in with the crowd isn’t always a good thing. With that in a mind, you should also stay away from a few things that have overstayed their welcome. But of course, if you love it and it looks good on you, I say wear it!
Out: Balloon DressesWhy? They’re unflattering to the body and unless you’re stick thin, will have no advantage for you whatsoever.
In: Waist-Accentuating DressesInstead, go for dresses that accent the waist and give your body a nice, natural line. Show off your curves instead of hiding them.
In: Rompers or JumpsuitsForget the leggings and the cut-off jeans, switch to something a little more modern; rompers/jumpsuits are all the rage this season. Just make sure you pick some that fit your figure. If you’re a little fuller, stay away from the very tight, and go with something a little looser. If you’re very thin, go for tight to bring out your curves.
Out: The Boho Maxi Dress
But not to worry, the maxi dress is still very popular, just in a more sophisticated way! Look for a more shiny fabric with fun, flattering prints and pair the dress with wedges or platforms for a long lean look. If you have a small frame, be careful what you choose as large prints can engulf you.
In: Embellished TopsYou can never go wrong with embellished tops, weather it’s on a simple top or a dress. Embellishments draw the eyes upwards and deemphasizes the other areas you don’t want to be noticed.
In : Accessories - Bangles
Well we all know that bangles have been around for some time now, and it doesn’t look like they will be leaving us any time soon. Why? Because they’re so much fun! Bangles look great any day, any time. They accessorize an outfit better than almost anything ( not everything though) and they also look great.Now that summer is just around the corner, bangles are peeking their way out slowly and making their big entrance. They will be appearing on beaches mostly, and they will be sparkling all the way, because this summer it’s all about colors, flowers, and lots and lots of sunshine. So take out your thick, colorful bangles, preferably in happy, sunny colors such as pink, green, blue, and yellow!
