Spring Summer Trends: Tops
Hello Darlings,
Here's my second part on Spring Summer Trends for 2009. This time is all about tops: blouses, shirts, tees, tanks... as were seen on the runways of some of my favorite designers.

Sheer
Tip: Underneath a sheer blouse should be a pretty, well-fitting bra or a beautiful silk camisole.

Exaggerated Shoulders
Tip: This trend could work beautifully as long as it is in proportion to your body. The choice is yours as to how extreme you would like to go :)

Prints

Bare Midriff
I am willing to try, pairing with breezy pants so I am not too revealing. For a beach... well that's a different story. This is a fun trend for summer, but one that could be overdone to a degree that is offensive (too much skin). Use with caution...

One Shoulder
The evening wear trend this season. Try this in a relaxed and romantic fit with new colors (ex. nudes). Lanvin explored this trend in variety of silhouettes - incredible collection, definitely one of my favorites. I adore this trend and have been wearing it for a while... It is sexy in subtle way. Try it.

Nina Ricci; Christian Lacroix; Giambattista Valli; Marc by Marc Jacobs; Matthew Williamson
Ruffles
Ruffles can be a big no no when overdone. If done in a tasteful manner they are charming and feminine. I am definitely going for this trend...only because I've always loved ruffles, especially when paired with masculine pieces.

What is your favorite Spring/ Summer trend for tops?
