Fashion & style always recycle after every 30 years, but some changes we jubilantly accept according to coming trend and technology. The word for the Fashion, Trend & Season constantly contribute the design collection for feminine, feminine only feminine!

This season on the runway is reminiscent of the flowing 70s in both fabric and style. We are seeing much more of the long skirt and much less of the micro mini. Materials like silk and chiffon, which tend to flow and gather, are much more popular for Spring 2008 than fabrics like cotton or denim which trend to hold shape and stay stiffer in appearance. The exception to this seems to be in outerwear, where rubber is oddly back in style. Indoors, though, thin little belts, hats, and scarves are also popular and a throwback to the 70s as well as being womanly.

Clothes with color blocks are still around as well, left over from last season and still cute. Don’t lose heart, though - some things from last season are still popular and can be recycled for this season. Accessories like metallic bags and clutches, as well as sequins and some of the longer pencil skirts can still be worn with confidence. Headbands are still a popular accessory as well.

Curves & sheers are in this year as a fabric style, which works well with the flow-y nature of the season. matching a curves shirt over a camisole with denim jeans is a fantastic casual look. In fact, a sheer scarf works with almost anything this season. Especially cute is the above-mentioned shirt and jeans with a little scarf and dressy sneakers. “Dressy sneakers” are another big hit this year, which will keep your feet happy as you get to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. Low-lying, patterned variety sneakers with ties that sport the best of brand names are the most popular for the young trendsetter.

Speaking of patterns, big bold prints such as tropical themes and greenish natural jungle prints are back. For whatever reason, and it seems to happen every several years, tribal and jungle themes & animal prints like leopard prints and zebra stripes make their way back to the runway.

This year is no exclusion. bright Color is back, and black is out for spring / summer 2008 , and this year it is muted silver and still grey and Pink is out of fashion, electronic Blue and natural green both colours are acceptable for season.

Of course, this season proves to be an interesting and eclectic mix of 70s and 80s styles. This may seem contradictory, but the feminine nature of the season’s styles pulls from flowing 70s fabrics and cuts and seems to just use a hint of 80s metal and accessory - and it’s a hit.
