List Of New Spring Fashion TrendsSubmitted By: Amy Nutt  
















Spring fashion trends change every year so that shoppers will have something new and exciting to wear every year. These trends range from tuxedos to disco to safari wear with only a common escapist thread linking the different spring fashion trends of different countries.


Spring fashion trends are more colorful and imaginative


The spring of 2008 heralds cheerful and bright colors which are a livelier alternative to the old gothic obsession of black fashion wear. Those who are into fashion will deck themselves in eye-popping colors like vermillion, verdant green, hibiscus red and cobalt blue, and they will become the center of attraction wherever they go.


This year, spring fashion trends feature flower themes. On the catwalk, you will find that models are practically walking bouquets of roses, pansies and peonies. Designers have gone wild with inspiration with their display of vibrant pictures and blurred motifs used in their designs. And if you don't actually like large and graphic floral prints, you can always follow the flowery trend with summer dresses and silky scarves that feature mid-sized prints.


Another interesting spring fashion trend is fairies and wood nymphs with imprinted designs of ethereal creatures, as well as details of foliage, feathers and flowers added to airy dresses. This trend translates an imaginary realm into a visible world of enchanting beauty.


Bring out the goddess in you with Greco-Roman fashion wear


If you want something a little revealing, you can try out the latest transparent spring fashion trend. With this trend, you will find women wearing designs imprinted on translucent textiles so that the body is revealed with both subtlety and taste. And to create a nude-to-neutral palette, you have sorbet hues and washed-out tones to accentuate this filmy fabric.


In a bid to bring something historic and interesting to the fashion world, fashion designers have introduced the Greco-Roman goddess dress as the latest spring fashion trend. Such a dress has intricate pleating with creative twists and folds of fabric that is used to create incarnations of toga-style goddess gowns, gladiator skirts, and believe it or not, harem pants too.


Why not go out in your underwear this spring?


The latest pajama fashion has revealed lingerie-like pieces which create a niche between a dreamland and sensible wardrobe. This trend was created by fashioners who wish to make outerwear from women's underwear like naughty nighties, gossamer slips, silky robes, bras and panties. This spring fashion trend certainly looks great on the catwalk, and you can make it look more interesting with boudoir details like boning, lace, bows and ribbons.


Metal is not only a thing of jewelries, but also in 2008's spring fashion trends. In addition to the trendy silver, gold, bronze and copper sequin covered dresses of yesteryear, designers have come up with new pieces that feature high-tech plastic fabrics, foil-like lame and glossy satins.
Going global is the latest in fashion trends


Boyfriend dressing is an interesting new spring fashion trend of 2008. This trend offers gender bending designs in women's fashion, with strong emphasis on the male suit. Designers have designed tuxedo style suits, boyfriend blazers, tailored vests and smart trousers for the rebellious chicks. These also come with accessories like bow ties, cummerbunds and boutonnieres. If you want something softer, you can always try the bow tie blouse and tie-top dress.


And if you are into something global, try out the safari range of spring fashion trends which include leopard prints, khaki, African field jackets, and chunky tribal jewelry. So try hopping into this spring fashion trend and add an interesting safari suit with an animal print accessory to your summer wardrobe.


With so much to choose from for your spring wardrobe, you will surely find something that you truly desire.

The Dawn of Pajamas

Sometime around 1920s everything was changing rapidly in the world of lingerie. For the first time machine-made underwear became a lot more affordable price-wise while still being made out of the same fine and luxury fabrics as the high-end hand-made undergarments.

During the thirties, fitness became fashionable and under the pressure from the hungry-for-change customers, manufacturers finally started producing smaller, lighter and foremost - better-fitting lingerie.

At the same time new fabrics (nylon and elastane) were introduced and they were a perfect match for the rising era of new - fitted underclothes. Women wanted more flexible foundations and all the basics were transforming into their lightest form yet.

Sleepwear was changing as well. Made out of transparent fabrics, with round or V necks, night-gowns became narrower and more revealing. Fashionable Oriental kimonos had richly quilted cuffs and collars while dressing jackets were hip-level long but short-lived as the new star (pajama) took over the stage.

?For years women have surreptitiously been stealing men's stuff... pyjamas are now by far the smartest form of negligee.' (Vogue, 1924)

Pajamas were made out of all kinds of fancy fabrics (satin, cretonne, velvet, crepe, lame etc.) in bright colors as well as pinks and flesh tones; some even stayed true to their Persian origins in coloring, print and metallic thread embroidery.

Probably the most unusual fact from this era when traveling was very fashionable is that couture houses (couture = dressmaking, sewing or needlework) of the time were making the complete bed-sets (sheets, cushions, sheets, coverlets and even sleeping bags) to match lingerie sets. In one of its issues from that time period Vogue stated, ?The smart woman travels with lovely lingerie and amusing pyjamas in her train.'

That, of course, was just the beginning of the PJ's popularity. At first they only replaced the nightgowns since they were so much more comfortable and easy to care for. But soon after that the form of pajama was used for lounging, beachwear, evening wear and sportswear.

Today, PJ is just as popular as it was when first introduced decades ago. We have the bigger variety of materials available than ever before, more solid colors and prints than ever before, d?cor is only limited with the imagination of the designers, but the form remains - timeless.
