The spring/summer collection of 2011 released quite a while back. If you just did not have the chance to browse through the multitudes of catalogues and are still looking to update your wardrobe then read on. It’s never too late to look good and love what you’re doing. The first thing you need to know is that summer is all about brightness, glorious sunshine and colors. So firstly, pack away those khaki neutrals and embrace prepare to embrace this season’s latest fashion trends.

 

The best thing about the spring/summer fashion is that it is a marvelous chance for you to enjoy color or print – be it on your sun dress or your cocktail gown. Summer is all about fun. Bring that element of sassiness into your wardrobe to rejuvenate and update your current favorite looks. If you would prefer elegant and classy to sassy and fun the fear not, the summer collection also includes ‘brights and patterns' which are longer, fuller and freer-flowing lines and pay homage to all the best silhouettes of the 70’s. Vintage beauty is a wardrobe essential and works gorgeously in making you look elegant and poised.

 

Fortunately you never have to work in the world of fashion to look and feel great. The summer 2011 look is rather simple to emulate. Just look through the following:

 

1. Prints:

Like every other year, spring attracts designers to floral patterns the way bees are attracted to fresh pollen. Select a fun floral dress for the summer. If you wish to go strapless do so. Sleeveless or cap sleeves with a simple round neckline and a slightly full skirt would look absolutely gorgeous for a party or a semi casual outing.

 

1. Color:

If you enjoyed playing lego as a child, you are going to enjoy this year’s 2011 summer wardrobe. Think fashion lego. Bold colors atop each other are the calling of the season. Think a nice flowing purple skirt with a gorgeous peach colored top or a pink short skirt with a green halter top. This trend works best with simple, clean and pattern-less (lego-esque) shapes. Leave the drama to head-turning blends like red and orange, blue and green or a purple and pink.

 

1. Vintage:

Think nice flowing red carpet gowns with severe necklines or loose flowing sun dresses. Fashion of unique vintage dresses is fast becoming a wardrobe staple. It can act smart or relaxed and this season it comes in various seventies-esque incarnations. Long gowns or short dresses – everything seems to have something vintage in them. They look smart and most importantly suit a variety of body shapes.

 

1. Traveler:

Oriental patterns are the latest to grace the season. No one pays homage to nature better than the East. Incorporate nature in your clothes. Embrace exotic glamour with cheongsam shapes, mandarin collars, opulent painterly florals and so on. Loose, flowing gowns are the call of the season. Loose silky fabric and the skimming of the silhouette make it both dramatic and eye catching. Freak out on the long, dangling accessories with exotic summer dresses!
