2011 Fashion trends to look out for...LINES

10 January 2011

The beauty of the linear fashion trend is that it works with many different fabrics, many items of clothing and can be adapted to many occasions.

A must have for the ultimate Spring/Summer wardrobe is a selected couple of linear pieces, our advice would be a nice vertically striped shirt, to wear with pale jeans or even cropped trousers for a summery feel.

Lines are never really not out of style, featuring heavily in last years nautical fashion trend, so buying a nice couple of pieces will never go out of style and will always be worthy of a place of your wardrobe.

Some little hints for wearing lines: If using a linear shirt then perhaps choose a nice smart trouser and flat dainty shoe (colour depending on preferance and shirt shade), either tuck the shirt in, if you think it goes or leave hanging over if not too long.

This is the perfect day-to-day look and if sported with heels, may even work as an alternate number for the office.

Accessorise with some long pendant chains, there are some great ones out there...try Topshop for funky, retro chains with clock pendants and other designs.

Add a cut off jacket or roll up the sleeves on a loose blazer, depending on where the outfit is for and pop on an over-the-shoulder bag or satchel and you have a look that will kick start early spring...
