It is a mixed of the old and new in the fashion trends during Spring break. The
emphasis is on the eclectic and individual styles that often break the
conventions. The thing that unites Milan, Paris, London and New York is the
need to be unique.
1.
Lingerie is out of the Closet
We are seeing
slips that are tantalizingly draped over tees, almost daring the audience to
ask why. The undergarment is now on top in the spring collections where modesty
is a thing of the past. The sexiness is never trashy but rather a bold
statement of intent for a confident woman. Slinky silhouettes are fantastic for
a night of fun both in and outside the bedroom. There is something truly
sophisticated about a women that is not afraid to hint at the secrets of the
private.
2.
Ruffling it up all the Way
The child wants
to escape from the crib and spring fashion has given her the perfect platform.
It seems that every designer is adding a few ruffles on each piece. The look is
very flirtatious and reminiscent of the late 70s and early 80s. Think of
Princess Diana in her early innocent days. Today the effect is much more
sculptural with purposeful conviction. The tops are given better dimensions
while the sheath dresses look positively modern, frills or no frills.
3.
Victorian Austerity
If you thought
Queen Vicky’s age was ought of fashion, spring is telling you otherwise. Gothic
chic is the in-thing with high necklines and ruffled sleeves. There are many
modern touches though including the shorter hemlines that would definitely have
scandalized our ancestors. We love the glaring fabrics, sheer finishes and a
nice touch of denim to confirm the modernity of this trend. It is not a perfect
replica of the 19th century but a fantastic deconstruction.
4.
Giving the Cold Shoulder
The final trend is for off-the-shoulder
pieces with huge open necklines. Others have started cutting out so as to
emphasize the importance of the shoulder. These breathable outfits are
obviously geared towards comfort and freedom. However they also speak of a pure
sexiness that dominates this spring season. It is the girl about town who is
not constrained by conventions or fashion rules yet she is oddly very alluring.
Final Word
If there is one message about the fashion trends during Spring break; it
is the fact that everyone is welcome. You can make fashion what you want it to
be. The old and new join together in harmonious union.
