TRENDS 2008

The world of fashion is constantly changing, more and more designers are looking to the past for inspiration; what's old is new, and nowadays fashion is shaped by all the cultural influences from around the globe. The past continues to be the inspiration for the future but more than ever, designers are concerned about where fashion and beauty trends originate. The styles and trends you will see in 2008 will inevitably reflect modern interpretations of past designs, while also keeping an eye on emerging global trends in beauty and culture.

A trend-conscious person never misses the fashion trends for the year to come. If you are already reading this article, this means that you are interested in what to wear in 2008. Do you like the fashion of the fifties? Well, you should, because it's been back in 2008 and that entire craze will be in style again. As a matter of fact, this trend of the 50s comeback has already started before 2008, so you are at least a bit familiar with the concept. Such items as high heeled pumps, slim skirts, large belts, and loose blouses with puffy collars and sleeves appear to be becoming all the rage once again.

Here are some of the latest staples of your wardrobe should be:

* A slim skirt
*
A wide belt
*
A slim fitting pair of pants
*
A fitted jacket/Blazer
*
Shaped t-shirts (not too tight or too loose)
*
Wrap blouses and dresses
*
Metallic colors including gray metals and gold
*
Items made of Denim

The colors are dominant for the style for 2008's spring and summer are the gray, black, red, white plus yellow. Use these colors to add to your classic wardrobe in unique ways. However, next year, dare to wear yellow and see how it looks. Also go for earthy colors like Brown and Bottle green.

The accessories also match the outfit. The oversized bags are still in style, while the super huge earrings and necklaces will compliment the overall clothing. The jewels may be made of plastic or more natural materials such as wood or even clay. These can be ethno influenced and create a great effect on the entire apparel, making the body look small and giving an interesting perspective.
