20 spring fashion trends: part four

Filed in archive Trends on March 30, 2007

On to our last five fashion musts for the spring season just around the corner, and you'll be ready for anything spring may bring!

16. A cut - The 'trapeze' cut was already rather noticeable with the oversized trend last fall and winter, but this spring the A shape will be in for everything from dresses to coats, jackets blouses and skirts. Simply straight A, shorter, longer, or a more generous flowy interpretation, these skirts will definitely flatter your body shape.

17. Short nails - Nails are often one of women's most natural accessories. This season, we must forget all about long, razor sharp or square cut French manicure nails and get shorter nails, oval shaped. Also, get as many black and metallic nail polishes you can, to wear your nails as true accessories.

18. Voluminous sleeves - Puffed short sleeves, kimono elbow length ones or long poet cut sleeves are all over spring wardrobe. Not only do they make hiding arm flab easier, but also make our look more feminine.

19. Romantic details - Roses, bouquets, flowers, plants, butterflies and all other so-called romantic prints are yet again in, even taken to another dimension with designers adorning and stitching on romantic details to otherwise plain clothing.

20. Block color hair - As well as nails, hair often shows your true fashionista nature. So, get rid of dual - or even more - tone hair and get it block colored. Back, brunette or blonde, your choice, just remember highlights in dark hair will be considered a big fashion faux pas.
