5 Hot Fashion Trends for Spring/Summer 2011

Posted by Alexandra | Tuesday February 22, 2011

We're choosing to ignore the lingering wintry chill and focus instead on 5 red-hot trends we're expecting to see for spring and summer:

#1: White, and White-On-White

Akris, GAP

J.Crew, Zara

BCBG Max Azria, Joe Fresh

#2: Artistic Prints

Akris, Banana Republic

BCBG Max Azria, Joe Fresh

Lucian Matis, Sears Attitude

#3: Safari

Banana Republic, J.Crew

Pink Tartan, Sears Attitude

Sears Attitude (both)

#4: Wide-leg Trousers

GAP, H+M

J.Crew, Sears Attitude

#5: The Onesie vs. The Maxi

BCBG Max Azria, Banana Republic

Banana Republic, H+M

J.Crew, Pink Tartan

Styling Note - The Onesie is not a new fashion statement, but it does require a slender frame to pull off successfully. The Maxi, on the other hand, is much more adaptable to a wider range of body types.

Which fashion statement are you most excited to wear in Spring?
