Women's Spring 2009 Style Guide

Contents [ Hide ]

It's finally spring, and time for some fresh new styles! New York's Fashion Week debuted some new looks, some new takes on old looks, and some oldies but goodies.  The big idea this season is to incorporate a retro vibe into your already standard staples.   Sheer fabrics, boldly printed shirts, shockingly bright colors, and miniature ruffles highlight some of the season's best trends.  And if you thought platform shoes   and polyester jumpsuits   would never make a comeback, think again.

Super Skinny

  • Drop that bagel and hit the Pilates studio. Slim pants   are still trendy, especially when it comes to denim
  • Riding on your hips, squeezing your thighs, and terminating at your ankles, skinny jeans   are part of the retro revival and pair great with tunics or silky blouses.
  • White jeans   are a great way to work this look for spring. Try Acne Paige,   or Juicy Couture

Slouchy Bottoms

  • Want to eat that bagel after all? Then this look is for you. The wide leg pant   along with flares   made their comebacks.
  • Baby Phat DKNY   and Sonia Rykiel   all showed loose and drapey bottoms.
  • Pair with a sheer tailored top to keep things in proportion for spring.
