The spring 2005 fashion trends show clothing and accessories
that are very feminine and full of color, style and patterns.
What are the experts forecasting for spring?
Fabric – Romance is in the air. The fabrics this season will be
more feminine and light. We will see a lot of soft flowing
fabrics such as chiffon and silk. A new trend this season is the
big bold prints in wild designs. No longer dubbed the tacky, the
big animal and floral prints will dominate the scene.
Handbags – Handbags are once again going to be designed for use.
Bigger is definitely better! Purses will be oversized and
versatile, held in the hand or slung over the shoulder. A bag
has to hold all of the day’s necessities.
Color – White will be all around us for spring and there will be
no avoiding it. The color scene seems to be all over the color
pallet. Think citrus; alive, vibrant colors of oranges, limes
and lemons will be everywhere. Corals, various shades of pink,
blues, aqua, taupe and deep gold will also dominate this
season’s fashion.
Jewelry – Pearls are still a front runner in the favorites for
spring jewelry. Multiple layers of faux pearls and the “real
deal” pearls will be combined in a big bunch to create long
layered necklaces. Ears are no longer the focus this spring
season, the arms are. Bangles and bracelets, big and small will
take center stage in the jewelry industry. The earrings are
moving from chandelier to long thin earrings and sapphires in
pink set in gold will adorn many fingers this spring.
Clothing – It is once again fashionable to be feminine and lady
like. Skirts will be loose fitting, fuller and patterned. No
longer are the longer pencils skirts stylish, at the knee or
just above the knee are all the rage. Blouses will have a lower
neckline making room for some fabulous necklaces. You can kiss
those low ride pants goodbye because they are history. Formal
wear will be long and flowing in rich colors.
Shoe – Out go the big chunky heels and in go the thin, tall
spiky heels. Women want comfort so the round nosed toes will be
appreciated. Embellished shoes with stones, studs and patterns
will dominate the market. Sandals will have a Greece flare. The
wedge heel is going to be a big fashion in sandals.
Coats, Jackets — A huge item this spring for your wardrobe will
be the trench coat; this time around it will be cinched at the
waste with a sash. Say goodbye to the Poncho. It looks like that
was a one-hit wonder.
