Sheen for S/S 09
Get ready to grab some attention as sheen fabrics take over the high street. The S/S 09 catwalk for Lanvin dazzled with touches of metallic sheen and all-over shine, and now it's hot on the high street.
Satin and silk sheen made every outfit by Lanvin's, Alber Elbaz an enviable desire for our Spring wardrobes. This is most definitely a bold statement, which can be worn for any occasion.
Sheen has been a staple fashion essential for some time now. Jazzing up a simple little black dress was easy with the aid of a metallic belt. However this new trend is much more than a sparkling touch here and there.
This trend is a mix of the popular sports luxe trend and feminine glamour. Here at FemaleFirst we have hit the high street to find these two outfits which represent this trend.
Lantern Sleeve Top By Boutique £60.00 Topshop (left)
Oversize Silk Batwing Coral Top £38.00 Topshop (right)
Both of these tops highlight the sheen trend perfectly, and are an inexpensive way to look right on trend this season. We recommend wearing both of these tops with a neutral coloured skirt or dark denim or black jeans. Minimal accessories will complement this look and allow the sheen top to be the statement piece.
