Spring/Summer 2010 : Hit or Miss?
From the look of the spring/summer fashion trends this year, it seems the top trends are all things you thought were fashion faux pas. Backpacks, bumbags, novelty bags, bright clashing prints, socks with high heels, head to toe one-colour outfits. If you’ve cringed at it, chances are it’s been on the catwalk this season.
However, all these aside, there are many good things to come from the catwalks, and almost all of them involve getting your knees out. Short dresses and long shorts, both coupled with long socks mean that this summer we’ll all be seeing a lot more knees. Time then, for me at least, to invest in some tinted moisturiser and stock up on new razors!
As well as legs, there are some other big trends that are seeing the light of day after a while hidden away. Safari theme, khaki military, pastel shades, and the wardrobe staple, the lightweight mac, all make a refreshed and revitalised appearance for this coming season. I shouldn’t (and probably won’t) be surprised if you see a lot of these in the shops in the coming months.
What will probably not affect shops is the variety of shoe height seen. It’s everything from completely flat lace up sandals, through to kitten heels and wedges, right the way up to towering and elaborate platforms. This is brilliant news, as it means that it is easier to stay on top of fashion, without needing to work to stay on top of your shoes!
Personally, I think that there is one massive trend coming loud and clear from all the great and good of the fashion industry: this season, anything goes.
