Brighten up your style with a bold mini, studs, new booties and combination of metallics for a new look.
Bright Bottoms not Neutral Skirts
There is a certain sports drink company known for its black and white commercials featuring the products in color. This same look, featuring a brightly colored miniskirt and neutral top and accessories is au courant. Pair a cute and colorful mini, in a solid color or a pattern with gray, black, white or tan shoes, top and bag. Keep jewelry neutral rather than using colors from the skirt.
Sculptured Shoulders not Bare
A more sculptured shoulder padding is back from the past, specifically the 1980s. More emphasis will be on shoulder and upper arm portion of jackets and tops, with less design at the midsection than has been seen in recent fashion seasons.
Get Your Booties On
A pair of booties will balance out the boulder shoulder look, giving women a new reason to buy this season's bootie styles. New booties come in faux animal materials. Faux booties are also being seen on pumps with bootie-like backs.
Studs on Clothes, Not on Arms
Gals, leave the boy toys at home and wear studs on your clothes instead. Studded clothing brings a rocker edge to any look. Studs are popping up on jeans, jackets, purses and shoes. Studded shoes are available in heels for an extra burst of attitude, or opt for a more subtle edge with studded flats.
Silver and Gold Together
Rather than fret over the silver vs. gold as an accessory choice, the new choice to make is both. Find accessories made with both gold and silver colors. Metallics are not out yet, but it is time to mix them up in new ways. Try bronze with silver, or pewter and gold. Remember, all that shines is not real gold, it could be faux and you will look just as fashionable.
