2008 spring-summer fashion trends for females

It's about time to dress up for spring! It's the time to manage your wardrobe and get some fashionable pieces for refreshing spring weather and hot summer days. Let's take a look at hottest trends for spring and summer 2008.

Designers often choose muted shades for autumn-winter collections, and spring-summer often stuns with vivid colors. The trends of 2008 are no exceptional: We will see bright and bold colors on clothing, accessories and everything you can wear. Even "Technicolor brights" - neonic pink, green, yellow and orange - are fashionable once again. If clothing of such colors is too bright for you, pick several accessories to highlight your regular wear. Purple was the hit of the past season and it is still around for spring and summer 2008. But the shade of colors has changed a lot: forget the deep purple and violet, meet lilac, subtle amethyst and lavender tones. The sweet lilac shade fits another hot trend of summer 2008, the pale azure denim fabric.

If you're looking for trendy patterns of spring-summer 2008, reveal the blossom of your beauty with floral prints. Look for clothes with flower motives all over them, because a single herb embroidered on a blouse or jacket is not enough. If you don't feel like wearing colorful floral patterns, there's another classic combination ready for spring and summer. It doesn't matter if you choose black on white or white on black - it will be the most fashionable pattern of the season. All possible combinations of B&W ruled the runways and they will rule the streets for sure. Let's not forget ethnic trend; it's on top once again. Choose tribal inspired patterns and ikat fabric clothing and combine it with chunk tribal jewelry to create a safari-chic image.

Can you imagine spring fashion without a skirt or a dress? Spring and summer trends wouldn't be complete without amazing dress. Squishy skirt is the top for spring and it will hold its positions on summer as well. Choose high-waist silk organza skirt to stun everyone. This type of skirt looks great with another fashionable detail: the cropped jacket. The fashionable length of skirt and dresses became shorter; even though the knee-length remains popular, the hottest trend is a few inches above the knees.

Feminine glamour will take over all the women. Forget the image of bad girl and look like a lady, because you are one. Highlight your figure with lovely little dresses and see-through details. Naughty decorations are recommended for spring and summer of 2008: outfit decorated with ribbons, lace and bows will make you feel and look very feminine. Corset as outwear is trendy once again; wear it on top of shirt for sexy sophisticated look. The trend of transparent clothing doesn't make you walk around half naked: playing hide-and-seek with several layers makes you appear mysterious and alluring. Glamorous ancient Roman inspired dress is another fashionable wear of spring and summer 2008. Choose intricate pleated dress, one-shouldered dress deco...

2008 spring fashion trends for males

Renewing one‘s wardrobe is usually a more difficult task for men, since women's fashion trends are a more popular topic by far, they can find many recommendations online and in magazines. However, fashion for males is also constantly evolving and one shouldn't be afraid to try something new on. Let‘s have a look at men‘s fashion for spring 2008.

Plaid fabric is going to be the most popular for suits and especially pants. It's the traditional British image, but it has a new twist, which will attract men of all ages. Plaid pieces are not only for elderly men: the new plaid fabric might surprise you with eye-catching colors, such as yellow, pink and turquoise. Designers recommend wearing one plaid piece at a time: choose either pants or a shirt or a jacket, but not all at once. And if you do choose to wear two or more pieces of plain clothing, refrain from using different patterns.

There‘s another change in fabrics as well. The sheer shirts often seen in Latino fashion takes a step into masses. It fits any occasion: you can choose to wear a sheer shirt under a jacket for a formal meeting and leave your jacket at home for a daring look on your night out.

White suits are another classical detail that‘s going to be at the top this spring. Of course, they are not meant to be worn by anyone, but if you choose to do so, you will definitely look refined and sophisticated. It doesn‘t have to be a tuxedo: white casual clothes are popular as well. Choose a white top to toe look for the hottest spring image.

Don‘t be affraid of pink: it‘s not only for little girls. While women tend choose neonic shades of pink, men should concentrate on light pink clothes for spring 2008. Light pink shirts and ties will be especially trendy. If you want a safer color, choose muted orange - it will be fashionable too.

Patent leather pants will be a dedication to bold men this spring. Who doesn‘t want to look like a rock star? Such a style is sure to attract quite a few gazes and charm everyone arround. If you‘re afraid you‘ll make a huge fashion mistake by wearing these pants, choose a classic combo: black skintight pants and a white shirt. Unfortunatelly patent leather doesn‘t look good on everyone, but if you have a slim build, leave your doubts behind and go with leather. If that‘s too daring (or German) for you, look for accesories made out of patent leather.

The begining of spring 2008 might be too cold for shorts, but it‘s the right time to get into cropped pants. Almost every designer has cropped pants in his spring-summer 2008 collection. If you‘re about to pick a new sweater, choose a buttoned cardigan and you won‘t be wrong. The prep school image is very trendy, men can choose either a one-colored sweater or pick something with funny patterns such as argyle or stripes. One must note that buttoned cardigans work well on formal occasions as well as free time activities.

It's official: high heels do make you look sexy

Heels make a lady feet look smaller and her gait becomes much more refined, making her calves and shins tensed and elongated. They also keep a woman's posture bolt upright.

Walking in heels makes the movement of a woman's lower limbs more sensual. In fact, high-heeled shoes adjust women's body proportions to come closer to perceived ideals, as well.

Researchers at the University of Wroclaw in Poland asked more than 200 men and women to rate the attractiveness of diagrams of seven men and seven women with varying leg lengths.

Both the sexes said that a leg length that is 5 per cent longer than the norm for a person's height is ideal.

Thus, if the average leg length of a 5ft 5in woman is 30in, as measured from the sole of the foot to the crease where the thigh meets the pelvis, a woman this height could make her legs look 5 per cent longer by wearing 1.5in heels.

In the study, legs that were 10 per cent longer than average were also considered sexy, but legs 15per cent longer were not.

Generally, if someone's between 5ft 4in and 5ft 8in, heels up to 3-3.5in will flatter their proportions - anything higher starts to look odd.

Also, focusing on proportions, a study at University College in London found the ideal female figure had legs exactly 1.4 times the length of the upper body, which is the legtotorso ratio of Nicole Kidman, Naomi Campbell and most other supermodels.

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.

Bold Red Tunic Top



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.

Floral Print Cotton Skirt



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.

Designer Sheer Top



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.

Grecian Cutout Dress



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.

Corset Blouse



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.

Bow-Tie Top



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.

Textured Silk Jacket Dress



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.

Zebra Print Dress
