Also fashionable are chunky designs in long lengths or
chokers. This bold style is showing up from the runways to the fine
department stores. Designs with polished stones, big beads, or multiple
beaded strands are very in. The colors are borrowed from nature—turquoise,
coral, beige, brown, black, ivory, and olive. Brights with a soft feminine
touch are also good especially fuchsia, lavender, pale lime, and teal.
Layered looks provide one of the hottest trends with
multiple strands from short to very long. Chains, beads, faux pearl, or
combinations are used to create the design. Add to the layered necklaces a
long strand of large beads and you have a very chic look.
In plating silver remains important and will be through
the summer. Gold is rapidly gaining popularity and dark platings like
antique bronze, gunmetal, and hematite are uptrending. Among plated items,
geometrics are big with pendants in circles, triangles, and diamond shapes
as well as large oval links in necklaces and bracelets. .
So in choosing costume jewelry for the summer, think
big, think natural, think layered, and especially think classic one of a
kind.
New Sunglass Fashions
With one glance through a fashion magazine, the
importance of sunglasses as a summer fashion accessory becomes very
apparent. This year’s fashion in sunglasses is breath-taking. Oversize and
retro designs lead the way for ladies sunglasses. Think the Jackie O or
Sophia Loren look. There are exciting remakes in these nostalgic styles
with square lenses or round lenses and embedded rhinestones or studs are
giving retros a new twist.
Oversize shields provide another exciting trend in
sunglasses this summer. Shields are a monolens sunglass with no break at
the nose piece. Some styles have wide arms that taper creating sleek
lines. Round lenses are most popular, but square lenses are hot also with
their stylish linear look.
Aviators are always the favorite style for men, but
there not just for men anymore. Just look at the celebrities and you will
see the chic look of oversize aviators. Another exciting twist for the
ladies is aviators in fashion colors with frames and lenses matching.
Plastic frames are more popular than metal this season
and the most popular colors are black and shades of brown, especially
tortoise. More daring colors are also very good like white, pink, rose,
and lime. Everyone can find something exceptional with the variety of
fabulous looks in sunglasses that are offered in the current fashion
trends.
Summer Trends in Accessories
Handbags and belts are the accessories stirring up
excitement this summer. Celebrities set the pace by showing up in
magazines carrying those oversize bags and suddenly nothing seems to be
too big in handbags. Roomy totes with buckles, studs, and zippers are very
in. Slouchy hobos with wide shoulder straps short enough to fit nicely
under the arm are chic. In smaller bags, satchels with outside pockets are
stylish and crocodile print is hot.
This summer you can match that croc handbag with a belt
because belts are making a major comeback. Croc prints as well as grommets
and studs are in and that low slung look of the eighties is back. All
widths are in style, but the wider belts are most popular.
