Fashion Trends to Consider in 2007

Fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2007 include futuristic space-age styles, iridescent materials that shine, romantic folkloric softness, sporty slouchy appearances, body-conscious sculpting, and bright colors from the 1980s.

All of these styles point to dresses as the key piece of clothing for the spring/summer of 2007.  Without a doubt, out of all the styles, futurism is the one that will carry us into 2008. When looking at fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2007, you should also consider the significance of a narrow or full silhouette, color, texture, and print.  It has been a while since materials have been so crucial to a season’s overall fashion trends.

SILHOUETTE VOLUME:

The volume has been gradually improved. A-line swing trapeze volume has been a classic for the fall, but as it has gotten closer to the body and materials have become softer, more flowing, and less stiff, the volume has taken on a more sculptural appearance.

Volume no longer surprises us in 2007; instead, it is seen everywhere in roomier clothing, such as the flare of a trapeze dress or the swing of a fuller skirt, the loose silhouette of a swagger coat or swing-back cropped jacket, wider legs in pants, a full bloused sleeve, a generous ruffle, or a wider, fuller collar.  

You might as well wear this tent dress, which is courtesy of New Look’s Spring/Summer 2007 trendy women’s wear.

In daily life, a lot of women will undoubtedly choose the volume offered in wide-leg slacks and simple jersey slouches.  Since women can now choose to forgo wearing skinny jeans in favor of well-cut slim cigarette pants or slouchy pants, even denim clothing is becoming more roomy. 

However, for individuals who can wear them, the cut Topshop Baxter jeans, which are also incredibly affordable, are skinny jeans.  Satin skinny pants are also new.  Stretchy leggings are another story, as they have just taken on a new style with a metallic sheen.  See my Rules for Wearing Volume here. Volume has been around for around eighteen months.

Softer neutrals in silver, grey, cream, white, flesh, soft pink, blush, ecru, coffee cream, copper, and light sandy browns were among the colors seen on numerous catwalks. Thankfully, the high street has decided to adopt Miuccia Prada’s style and usage of richer jewel tones. Stronger shades of sky blue, electric blue, pale gold, golden apricot, and numerous other attractive wrapper metallic colors are to be expected.

Take a look at the alternative to the glaringly brilliant, acid neon colors.  Yellow, tangerine, coral, scarlet red, purple, cobalt blue, ultramarine, emerald sea green, and hot bright fuchsia pink are the latter colors, which are the bold 80s brights.  Among the most significant colors available in many apparel lines are yellow and gold.

Shining Fabric & Graphic Bold Prints:

Fabrics for Spring/Summer 2007 are adorned with bold graphic and abstract prints, botanical and huge cabbage rose themes, and tiny flower ditzy prints.

If you want to look hot on trend, go for large, aggressive patterns that have a more contemporary style. However, smaller Liberty dainty trend flowers will look more refined for polite social gatherings like weddings. The retro sixties element, which has been a distinctive fashion trend for a number of seasons and is expected to remain popular through Spring/Summer 2007, is highlighted by graphic bold black and white monochromatic motifs. There is texture all over the outfit.  Many of the dresses on the catwalk featured intricate encrustation and textured appliqué. 

A concoction of contemporary passementerie, the technique transformed numerous clothing into textile arts collages inspired by the walking 1960s. The spring 2007 fabrics sparkle, gleam, glisten, and shimmer. 

This element is so significant that metallics are a fashion trend in and of themselves, with a large portion of it meant for daytime use. Simply add pieces with metallic trim to your wardrobe if you find the metallic trend too overpowering.

Cutaway armholes and space-age dresses with a nod to the 1960s are a great way to incorporate the metallic fashion trend.  Space Odyssey meets the twenty-first century in retro-futurism. Debenhams is the source of the silver-white jeweled brocade shift dress on the left. It is from Debenhams’ Spring/Summer 2007 womenswear collection, Star by Julien Macdonald. Lustre also makes lace appear to gleam.  Thick lace crochet dresses and tops hark back to the decade of flower power, whilst more defined, gleaming, machine-made, lustrous Austrian lace fabrics are laid over shining colored petticoat slips.

The coat on the far right in the New Look Metallic check design has big buttons, a broad flat collar, effortless swing, swagger, and it keeps the sleeve intriguing with a three-quarter sleeve tucked into a little band cuff.  This year, sleeve cuffs of all kinds are a hot topic.

This shimmering grey cloud grosgrain bell sleeve coat, which is still available for £80/€130, is part of the Wallis Spring Summer 2007 Limited collection. It has every feature you could want in a unique fashion coat to keep the chill off the fluttering minidress underneath it.

Vibrant accessories:

Since EVERY accessory I own is colorful, I am ahead of the fashion curve! We can do better than the majority of girls who will be sporting yellow beads or carrying a primary-colored bag! I mean it when I say brilliant! Try wearing cobalt blue earmuffs, a scarf in eye-catching colors, dazzling stockings, a neon collar around your neck, and pink flowers in your hair! Go crazy and pair the color with another item in your outfit! & stock up to wear them all for a very long time!

Little handbags:

Big bags are reportedly leaving. It is unfortunate for those of us who genuinely enjoy carrying our lives with us. It is reasonable enough that they mean tiny purses for the evening.
