Long skirt

The most important signs of this summer are long skirts, bohemian chic, classic blue denim, ecological accessories, bright colors in the style of the 1970s and expressive jewelry. It would seem that we have already gone through all this, and more than once, but every season the fashion is still new. How summer 2011 differs from the previous ones - we deal with professional stylists and famous fashion designers.

Long skirt

The maximum length of dresses and skirts is very feminine and romantic. The main character of summer outfits is a flying chiffon skirt, translucent or layered, or a maxi skirt made of thin pleated fabric.

Scarlet pumps

A resounding accent in your summer look is bright shoes. Scarlet or coral pumps will perfectly complement a topical nude dress or bring a bold touch to a strict gray business suit. Suitable models are available in the collections of iconic footwear brands - Brian Atwood, Nicholas Kirkwood, Sergio Rossi.

Wicker bag

A bag woven of straw, raffia or thin strips of leather is an irreplaceable summer accessory, light and stylish. He supports two relevant trends of this season at once: deliberate rusticism in the style of "flower children" and ecological fashion.

Exotic leather accessories

The chicest trend of this summer is handbags and shoes made from vibrant exotic leathers or their artful imitations. The more colorful and textured your accessory is, the more effective. This trend is supported by almost all leading brands of fashion accessories.

Top or dress with bright stripes

This summer is the season of the most daring contrasts, including bright contrasting stripes, with which designers decorate dresses and tops, skirts and handbags. The tone was set by Miuccia Prada, who offered a very extravagant "striped" collection, but you can choose more modest stripes - for example, blue and white, "sea".

Wedge sandals

The easiest way to add an extra ten centimeters to your height is to stand on a wedge heel. Summer wedges - cork, wooden or rope - belong to open sandals, in which the legs will be comfortable and cool.

Flared jeans

Skinny jeans have finally lost ground. It's time for 1970s style denim - flared from the hip. The right color - classic blue or indigo, the right cut - with a slightly high waistline and a smooth flare line: these jeans visually make the legs longer and slimmer.

Galina Vasilieva, designer:

White lace dress

This trend is the embodiment of tenderness and romanticism. It doesn't matter how long your dress will be, what its silhouette and details will be - the main thing is that it should be snow-white, delicate and very, very feminine.

Bag or shoes with floral print

Bright solid color accessories are good, and colorful accessories with prints are even better. To keep up with the hot trend, get yourself a pair of shoes or a handbag with a bold floral print. Dries Van Noten and Jil Sander offer entire collections of "floral" accessories, but still, if you choose a handbag with a pattern, then let the shoes be solid, and vice versa.

Boho chic earrings

Large earrings with multi-colored stones are a sign of the 1970s style reigning this season. They will be the final point in this summer's bohemian look, logically continuing the theme of colorful long skirts, flared jeans, lace and bright accessories.
