Tip #5: Spring 2011 Fashion Trends

Tip #4 talks about How to Shop Clearance Racks.  I noted that clearance racks mostly consist of last season items... so, I shop for spring/summer in the Fall.

Therefore, it is important to know what will still be in style next year when shopping the clearance racks to get the most bang for your (discounted) buck :)

  1. 60's A-line coats
  2. 70's flashback to satiny dresses in emerald or sapphire.
  3. Still 'in' from the fall... Military cargo jacket or military-inspired vest.  Paired with a flirty bottom, this outfit will last through the fall and in the the next year.
  4. Mix-and-matching will continue to be trendy into spring.  Remember to stick to one or two colors when mixing patterns!  
  5. Flatform Sandals!  Part flat, part wedge... if you see any on sale - BUY THEM!  They are the sandal to have next year!
  6. Trench dresses.  You will find trench coats all over the stores right now.  The trench coat will morph into the trench dress for spring.
  7. Layering Sheer material.  You may find some sheer tops in clearance.  Make sure it is 'layerable' and buy it knowing you will be in-style for Spring.
  8. Put all those embellished pieces away.  Spring 2011 is low-key and come in desert-inspired colors like rust, sienna and sand.
  9. More colors... sand, buff, beige. Neutrals not your thing... pair it with red or black.  
  10. Japanese-inspired pieces including obi belts, kimono-like coats and satiny pieces in festive blues and pinks.
  11. LOVE THIS ONE... Dig through your closet or visit your thrift store to find PREPPY oldies but goodies such as ladylike watches, woven bracelets, tasseled loafers and a striped tote. Wear these once-out-of-date accessories all together and look totally 2011.
  12. There’s no easier (or more affordable!) way to update your look in a hurry—just slip on an armful of colorful plastic or wooden bangles
  13. Vibrant citrus hues are big for spring! This hot new color makes updating last summer’s cobalt and aquamarine clothes easy.
  14. So long, crop tops, short shorts and too-tight dresses. Look for looser, easy-breezier shapes like long, billowy blouses and swingy dresses.
