Fashion Trend - It’s all about Femininity

This season’s spring and summer trends are all about femininity. Put away your boxy tops and paneled skirts and shorts from last year, and go for the girly. Ruffles and flouncy skirts are the way to go this summer, so if you have been aching to put some glam on, you will have a lot of options.

Teensy tiny is the way to go when it comes to skirts, dresses, or shorts. Poufed minis were a hit on the runway with Stella McCartney, and Marc Jacobs had some sexy shirtdresses that balanced tailored and feminine in truly Marc Jacobs essence.

Not a dress or skirt girl?

Go for the tiny shorts like Brain Reyes was sporting on his girls. If your skirt or shorts are on the full and flouncy side, balance them out with slim and slinky tops. DKNY and American Apparel have a wide range of sleek tops and blouses in fresh summer colors. When your shorts or minis are on the tailored side, try pairing with a little fullness on top. Ruffled blouses are big this year, and the puffier the better. Puffed sleeves and tuxedo ruffles will balance any tailored look. You will still look like the business woman that you are, but that touch of femininity will soften the look seamlessly. Esprit has some darling ruffled tops that you can wear as is, or pair with a slinky tank underneath. Go from day to night in a flash. Chunky shoes that go from day to night will anchor any wispy thigh skimmer you put on. It’s all about versatility.
