Changing Trends In Women’s Clothing

Since Victorian age or even before that, women dresses have seen a drastic change in style, attire, price ranges, material with the introduction of various cloths which were not present at the start (innovative cloths). Many cloths are part of the dust now as the women’s have entirely neglected them. Corsets, girdle and suspender belts are part of old days and only mature women prefer them because of the habit. However the styles have seen a drastic change still to cover the modesty and maintain feminism women have to represent herself elegant with the nice choice of dress she wear.

In 1960s Capri pants became very popular because the use to give women freedom to wear something else other than skirts, dresses etc. Women moved away from wearing dresses, as the main clothing style, starting in the 1960s, when These pants were considered very classy and can be worn anywhere, from office to recreation these pants were visible everywhere. Late 1960s have seen a drastic change in women’s attire as most youngsters started wearing jeans, pants which later became so popular throughout world. These jeans were very comfortable, didn’t need to washed regularly and looked cool which helped all women to prefer these over skirts and evening dresses etc. While women still wear jeans, short evening dresses  and other forms of clothing, dress popularity are on the rise.

The rise in the popularity of dresses can be attributed to the new vintage dresses popularity. The vintage styles such as pin up girl dresses and pencil skirt styles are part of a rising fashion craze. Nowadays pencil skirts dresses are considered cool which gained popularity after Michelle Obama wore them gracefully on their vacation.

For some parts of the United States vintage sun dresses also become quite popular which were peter pan collars, halter evening dresses etc. which tie around the neck. Even those who are bound to choose plus size Evening Dresses started preferring these vintage evening or sun dresses.

When you’re shopping for your evening dresses this year the colors and styles in fashion are yellow evening dresses and green evening dresses.

TOP 10 COLORS FOR SPRING 2010

Filed under: other — Tags: , , — Neverland @ 3:17 am

My favorite holiday of the year has finally arrived: FASHION WEEK!!!!  I’ll be covering all the shows from your fave designers this week (not to mention the sick parties I’ll be attending), and to kick things off check out the top 10 colors used in the Spring 2010 shows.

This morning’s WWD released the Pantone Color Institute’s list of the most popular colors designers chose for their new collections. They are fresh, new, and all universally flattering since designers are still being cautious about taking huge risks in the midst of this recession.

13.77% of designers opted for VIOLET PANTONE, a breezy purple hue. Not surprising, since purple reigned in the Fall collections, so a lighter version of the shade has great potential for Spring. See Purple Formal Dresses .

In at number 2, with 13.17% of designers choosing it, is AURORA PANTONE. Yellow has always been a huge shade for spring, and look for this one on yellow formal dresses mixed and matched with contrasting shades.

TURQUOISE PANTONE was chosen by 12.57% of designers for its bold, optimistic feeling. Peter Som, who used this hue in his collection, said it reflected “the need for a happy mood.” And hey, if you can’t afford a tropical vacation this spring, take solace in this cool Caribbean blue formal dresses.  

11.37% of designers chose FUSION CORAL PANTONE because of the popularity of its cousin, orange. In keeping with the idea of playing it safe, designers opted for this more subdued shade instead of a bolder orange. See Orange Evening Dresses.

TOMATO PUREE PANTONE came in at number 5, with 10.18% of designers using it. Expect to see this subtle red hue in several shows, including Tia Cibani for Ports 1961, Badgley Mischka and Rebecca Taylor. See Red Formal Dresses .

TUSCANY PANTONE was chosen by 8.98% of designers. Every collection has to have a few neutrals, and I love this safari inspired one. This lighter, softer brown was used by Catherine Malandrino and Nanette Lepore. See Brown Formal Dresses.

AMPARO BLUE PANTONE was a close second to Tuscany, being chosen by 8.38% of designers for its soft, purple undertones, which make it more unique than the average blue. Look for it at Tommy Hilfiger and Adrienne Vittadini

I’m already in love with PINK CHAMPAGNE PANTONE, and have yet to see it on an article of clothing.  7.78% of designers chose this soft romantic pink, and I can’t wait to see it flouncy skirts and Pink Formal Dresses.

Keeping with the safari inspired neutral Tuscany, DRIED HERB PANTONE is another popular neutral, with 7.21% of designers choosing it for their collections.

EUCALYPTUS PANTONE was chosen by 6.59% of designers, as it is another classic neutral. Every wardrobe needs a few grey pieces, and this shade will look great when paired with almost any other color.  Pantone is predicting it will be mostly used on accessories.

I’ll keep you posted on which shows these colors pop up in during Fashion Week, and of course, all the hottest trends from the runways!
