Fashion Trends for Spring 2008 Part 1

What styles you'll be shopping for come March 2008?
The old trends get refined, pared down or vamped up. This makes them seem so much more polished, creating a new desirable appeal and regenerates the fashion kudos. What's born on the runway will be incorporated into everyday clothing styles offered on the market. Keep your eyes open when shopping this spring season. Take what you witnessed and incorporate it into what you already have or create something fresh utilizing what you witnessed/learned.

Trend: Transparencies
After a season of bold jewel tones and almost-blinding metallics shocking the wardrobes of women everywhere, designers have swept the runways for spring 2008 with a refreshing breeze of softer, neutral and washed-out hues in transparent, gauzy fabrics that play with the light of the new season.

Trend: Color splash
The new season's palette is made up of classic, versatile neutrals punctuated by playful splashes of invigorating brights, hopefully encouraging fashionistas to explore new and creative ways to combine colors. The spring '08 color palette perfectly reflects the cheerfulness of the season. Energizing red, eye-popping neon shades of orange, yellow and pink, cool, waterborne blue and eco-friendly green will play a key role this season.
