The most pleasant and warmest season, summer, is just around the corner, and it's time to think about how to correctly update your wardrobe. After all, summer is not only picnics and trips out of town and vacations at a foreign resort. Summer is walking on warm moonlit evenings. These are meetings with friends and noisy parties and open-airs. These are going to the cinema and clubs. This is a time full of life and incredible pulsating rhythm. In this article we will try to find the pulse of the fashion trends of the coming summer.

Colour

The muted browns and lilacs that dominated the fall-winter season are being replaced this summer by calm, muted pastels. Basically, these are delicate shades of candied fruits and marshmallows: pale pink, pale lemon, pale peach and lilac, as well as all kinds of turquoise blue. The only exception to the general sweet idyll is, perhaps, blue (Dolce & Gabbana spring-summer collection).

But the undisputed leader of this season's color gamut is the eternal, noble, immaculate white. All wardrobe items are subject to total "whitening" this season. White is abundant both in pret-a-porter collections and in clothes of more affordable brands. But, despite the fact that, according to Christian Dior, "a woman who dresses in white is not in danger of depression and bad mood", do not forget that this is an extremely difficult color. He requires impeccable taste, frankly, a good figure.

Texture and cut

The appearance on the catwalk of dazzling white things, clear lines and shapes made many on the alert in anticipation of a new round of minimalism. But there is nothing to worry about: the quality of materials, cut and finishing of parts more than compensate for the apparent simplicity. In the coming season, cotton, chiffon, knitted lace and cotton sewing, silk and satin are relevant (the latter, however, are more represented in accessories).

Subject

The most popular this summer will be the marine theme. It is especially vividly presented in the collections of John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli, and also runs as a "red thread" in all lines of accessories. These are, for example, blue pumps from Chanel, a yellow leather bag with chains and anchors from Louis Vuitton, or sandals with an abundance of ropes and knots, like Paco Rabanne.

Another hit of the summer season is cheerful polka dots. "Pea" dresses, tops and skirts have acquired a more austere look, but, nevertheless, have not lost their romance. And then there is plenty to choose from: whether it will be an expensive model from Emanuel Ungaro or the more economical and affordable Mango or Sinequanone - the last word is yours.

The poppy-cornflower-blue "Russian" theme also remained on the catwalks. However, like any other ethnic group.

It seems that we will not part with bright prints in the spirit of Provence until the very fall, when, due to weather conditions, bright floral and geometric patterns (Gucci, Christian Lacroix, Salvatore Ferragamo and Jean Paul Gaultier) will have to be put on the back burner.

Dresses

Of course, summer can be loved for one opportunity to wear a variety of dresses without fear of freezing. This summer, this type of clothing emphasizes our femininity as never before. Lightweight, flowing, knee-length or ankle-length, with many ruffles and frills. But the main "squeak" of fashion is undoubtedly soft silk dresses: similar to those that adorn the Fendi spring-summer 2006 collection.

Skirts

The current season does not limit the choice of young ladies in any way. You can hide your knees with asymmetrical drapery and let them only occasionally peek out from under the frills. However, in the same way, it is not forbidden to expose the beauty of your legs, which is only emphasized by a mini-skirt made of dark denim, which is also on the list of top textures of this summer.

Accessories

Summer bags, according to the trendsetters of world fashion, should be large and roomy - the kind with which you can go from a lengthy meeting to any social event and feel quite comfortable at the same time.

Prada and Valentino propose to combine dense fabric with different types of leather in the new season. Salvatore Ferragamo and Dolce & Gabbana take the woven straw bag not only for a picnic, but also for the office. And Stella McCartney advises to hide all your treasures in flat roomy "string bags" in the summer. And, of course, no fashionista's wardrobe can do this summer without a white leather bag, which can be worn with either a light dress or jeans or rough khaki shorts.

The undisputed leader of the spring-summer 2006 season is wide belts that wrap around the waist like a corsage with a huge buckle. There are plenty of such models both in the collections of such fashion stars as Yves Saint Laurent and Roberto Cavalli, as well as in the collections of publicly available brands. Narrow belts, even if they gave up their positions a little, are still in demand. This summer they are very smart - with patterns and rivets like Motivi, Guess ?, Ice B and Diesel.

If we talk about the accessories of the coming summer as a whole, the products made of fabric and leather a la "metallic" are more popular than ever before, perfectly shading the tan and emphasizing the white outfits.

Also relevant are "natural" motives: sea knots, ropes and chains, natural wood, linen and leather.

Shoes

As for the shoes, fashionable this summer, they continue to build on the trends started in the last spring-summer season. The main hit is the "harsh base" - a tall rope, cork or wooden (for example, bamboo, as in the Gucci collection) wedge heel, thick and stacked heel, woven straw, wood and openwork crochet.

For lovers of thinner shoes, the Egle, Formani and Liu-Jo collections feature elegant metallic leather sandals. Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton promote high-heeled clogs with rivets and buckles, while Valentino and Baldini promote ballet flats decorated with embroidery, bows or appliqué.

Top "must-have" things for the coming summer

1. Shorts

Shorts are the number one attribute on the summer outfit list. Not a single beach party, not a single trip out of town can do without them. It doesn't matter how long, what style and what material they are made of. One thing is important: if you still don't have them in your wardrobe, immediately run to the store.

2. Wide belt

Voluminous flowing dresses and snow-white blouses must be constantly kept in strictness, otherwise they, just look, will begin to remind someone of those around them a nightgown. A wide, rough belt perfectly disciplines loose-fitting clothes.

3. Lace

It is naive to believe that English sewing is appropriate only for curtains in some family estate. This season has brought a new wave of love for lace. Romantic and incredibly feminine floor-length dresses are perfect for a night walk along the sea coast, and for an unbridled dance frenzy.

4. Dress - shirt

A very relevant and incredibly versatile piece that simply has to at least double the possible combinations of items in your wardrobe. With a wide belt and flat shoes, it will perfectly suit the office dress code, and with high-heeled sandals and bright decorations will make you look spectacular at any party.

5. Rough heels

They will contrast brightly with light, flying clothes, making your image more ambiguous and mysterious.

6. Knee-highs

Tights, knee-highs and leggings will be relevant even in summer. As the practice of past seasons shows, now there are no strict rules for wearing these accessories: clothes in pastel colors are easily combined with bright stockings, and one pattern smoothly transitions into another.

But remember: this summer, as always, it is very fashionable to have fun and interesting time, enjoy every minute, love life and yourself in it.
