Fashion Trends for Spring 2008

Fashion Trends for Spring 2008

Bold bright colors are big among spring fashion trends. Cheerful, bright colors walked down the runways for spring 2008. These optimistic hues are a welcome departure from fall's gothic obsession with all things black. Color-happy fashionistas will dress from head to toe in eye-popping colors like daffodil yellow, vermillion orange, verdant green, hibiscus red, bold fuchsia, wild violet and cobalt blue. Whether you go intense all over or simply go bright with an accent, just look to the crayon box to follow this trend.

Florals for spring are back again this year. The season of spring itself was the obvious inspiration for this blossoming trend, with designers displaying vibrant illustrations and blurred floral motifs in their delightful spring fashions. If your not a fan of large, graphic floral prints and oversized patterns, you can opt for a more subtle way of keeping in style. Choose dresses and accessories like silky scarves in mid-sized floral prints.

Styles that left little to the imagination were also on the runway, transparent fashion. Entertaining for the men, but in real life, women will be wearing designs featuring layer upon layer of translucent clothing, revealing their body with equal doses of subtlety and taste. This trend's sheer fabrics are accentuated by sorbet hues and washed-out tones for a nude to neutral palette.

Draping as one-shouldered dresses, intricate pleating, and creative twists and folds of fabric flowed gracefully down runways for spring. The designers who worshiped this roman goddess inspired trend showcased many toga-style goddess gowns, gladiator skirts, and even harem pants.

The runways revealed lingerie-like pieces making unmentionables a bold fashion statement for spring. Designers made underwear part of a woman's outerwear as they flaunted gossamer slips, naughty nighties, satin boxers, silky robes, bras and panties. This also is entertaining on the runway but could get you arrested in real life. Good advice is to take only a small dose of the trend by looking for flirty dresses with boudoir details such as lace, bows, boning and ribbons.

For ladies with a rebellious streak, designers played with tuxedo style suiting, smart trousers, boyfriend blazers, tailored vests, and even borrowed-from-the-boys extras like bow ties, boutonnieres, and cummerbunds. Try wearing the softer side of the trend by nabbing a must-have bow tie blouse or tie-top dress.

Designers carried forward their infatuation with the razzle-dazzle of metallics and sequins. In addition to the trendy, glitzy sequin-covered dress, silver, gold, bronze and copper shimmered down runways in futuristic high-tech metallic fabrics and glossy satins.

African field jackets, zebra and leopard prints, khaki, and chunky tribal jewelry all were seen on the runways with designers set out to send you on an African safari. You can incorporate this trend into your wardrobe by picking up a safari suit and adding an animal print accessory.
