Spotted: Spring 2012 Fashion Trends By Damion West
As a regular on Clay Cane Live, I am the resident fashion guru. We've talked everything from award mishaps to the best underwear. But after a frigid winter a new season is upon us. Finally, spring is here and bold statements, are the new basic.
Designers have set out to deliver collections that focus primarily on a polished ease. Giving us all the things we love most: classic tailoring, blocks of color, vibrant prints, geometric moods, and details galore. You’ll also find cues from the 50’s that will encourage you to unleash your inner Mad Men and a 20’s elegance, jazzing up the scene and making wherever you are feel like a “Fiesta in Blue." Still not sure how to go about your shopping? Below are a few tips that will help you spring ahead of the class:
It all begins with tailoring; find fits that best showcases your silhouette.
Get Sporty! Think sportswear and you’ll be ready for a variety of social situations.
Details in the Fabric: Mesh, Mercerized Cotton, Silk/Linen Blends, Jersey. Think functional!
Add a pop of color: Block or accentuate; color breathes life into any ensemble.
Go Geometric: Be it print or cut, structure is an undeniable identifier of a fashionista
Accessorize! Showoff your personality and transition any outfit from flat to fabulous.
With upcoming warm weather, we won't ever be able to avoid booty shorts and cleavage from the girls—and boys. But ladies and gents, a touch of class goes along way!
Listen to me tonight on Clay Cane Live at 11pm EST. We'll be talking filmmaker Patrik-Ian Polk and star of Ghost: The Musical Da'Vine Joy Randolph.
