S/S 2010 ....... HURRY UP.

I am just bursting at the seams to shrug off my chunky knitwear, winter accessories and layer after layer. I am beginning the summer to just come on by quickly, i need to wear flip-flops, deck shoes, shorts and most importantly my SUNNIES. (The fashion piece that should be worn all year round)

So what is in-store for all you guys and gals in the teenies, what's on trend and what should you be buying?

Girls you are up first..... for you everything is getting nude, and shorter as we saw more flesh than any trend in the past decade, i think Miuccia Prada's chandelier dresses confirm that, they are a pure work of genius, and something you never think could be commercial. However i know the majority of you females reading this prefer high-street to high end. As touched upon skirts are getting shorter, revealing more thigh,(unfortunately the maxi dress won't be back this year :( ) as well heels getting smaller, kitten heels and even clogs are going to be bang on trend for the coming months......thank GOD i am not a girl, clogs? i think not.
Colour wise, nudes, ice creams, so far from last years eye popping and block colours. As well as this we see the usual white, always a key player for summer, so look out for your bleached washes. However for those of you who do want to add colour, try a check and make it subtle....... NO bold blocks.
Finally lady friends key pieces......party dresses, for day and night, jumpsuits (YAY) and loose trousers tapering to teh ankle in light weight soft fabrics.

Now that all sounds pretty fine to mine, are you looking forward to your new wardrobes??

Alreet Geezas your next.

Ok, one simple rule i think to start with.... tailoring is out, CASUAL is in. (For those who must do tailoring keep it soft.) For you non fashion following men, stop reading, that rule will see you through just fine, all others....... feel free to carry on.
A strong theme from the shows envisaged a travel theme, with roomy bags and sports shoes, creating a feel that comfort is key. Again similarly to the female trends men are also showing more flesh, with revealing vests and open tops. Also the feeling of an urban attire came across using neutral colours, greys, cream, white and black. Although you guys could turn to pastel shades if your yearn for some colour. Accessories wise plastic sunglasses are back, as well bags of all shapes and sizes and high top trainers.
However my research says big labels went for slim line trousers, but recent trend reports are showing skinny jeans are out for summer, and loose denim is in.....so if you need some new jeans i suggest either, carrot, relaxed, bootcut or even loose fit jeans, my personal pick would be carrot or relaxed as it tapers at the bottom still leaving a nice silhoutte.

Hope that helps you guys out.

Right two new purchases this week both from Asos.com.

So a L/S waffle top witha grandad neck and charcoal in colour. It has elasticated cuffs..... great for us men with long arms wooo hooo (also i am mad about the grandad neck atm, and you should be too)
Secondly a charcoal (again..... im an addict to the palette of monochrome) .... hooded vest with a scoop neck. The lower neck is great, and not choking like other vests, but although i have always been a hater of people wearing vests on their own, however this one looks good, and if i hit the gym before summer may just pull off the look in Torquay's finest beaches this summer HA.





Will be back soon with more loving for all you readers.
