Colors are bright, patterns are bold and some of the classics are back and trendier than ever. Regardless of personal taste, the collection this season is sure to have something for absolutely everyone. The hot color scheme for this year is white or bright colors paired with earth tone or gray neutrals. Black and white returns as a hot color combination. Bright shades of blue, especially turquoise, will be everywhere this year. Be prepared to choose from the full spectrum of pinks and bright yellow in big, geometric prints. The turquoise trend carries over to jewelry.
As always denim remains popular but be prepared to see it used in new ways. The classic denim jean has shifted away from wide legs and toward boot cut and flares. Designers have taken denim to completely new places with everything from shorts to corsets going denim for the summer. The Greek goddess look continues to be in demand with the over the shoulder design and fabulous fabrics dramatically draped. Perfecting the art of draping your curves is now mandatory. You can instantly flatter your figure with a properly draped garment. Asymmetric hems are now showing up on tops and tunics.
Tribal influences and animal prints with futuristic style offer bold options for the warm weather fashionista. This style is now edgier than ever with layers and slash sleeves for emphasis. The latest jungle influenced prints are accented with bright blues and corals. Metallic accents and plating are used to embellish tunics and belts are thin. Shopping for summer fashion has never been more fun. With the wide variety of styles and colors to choose from there is something to please any fashion palate.

Summer Fashion Trends For 2010
Whether you’re spending time relaxing on a beach, touring a European city or reading outside in your own back yard, you’ll want to be feeling fashionable. Check out these tips for creating the most beautiful and trendy summer wardrobe.
- This year invest in a classic Parisian striped top. It will go with everything in your wardrobe, from high waisted shorts to 50s style tapered trousers. Pop it on when you want to look elegant and expensive, and add a straw hat for a Venetian twist.
- Hair styles for summer 2010 are inspired by braids. Whether you do a large messy fishtail side braid in the style of Alexander Wang’s New York show or create a vintage braided updo in the style of Rochas girls, keep experimenting with different plaits for different occasions.
- The crew neck is the neckline of the season, and thank goodness, because this means that gorgeous tanned legs can be shown off to their full advantage whilst you remain elegant and classy. Keep your t-shirts long sleeved as well as high necked, and for extra fashion points invest this season in a high-waisted skirt to mix and match with your multicoloured shirts.
- Learn the art of draping and wrapping, if you want to look super chic this summer. Donna Karan’s runway was filled with artistic fabric movements and styles, which you can replicate at home by being a bit more experimental and maybe even creating your own chiffon wrapped bodycon dress. Keep the colours neutral for the most subtle effect.
- Blonde hair is the ultimate summery compliment to fresh glowing skin. Take a visit to your hairdresser to get some subtle highlights added that will catch the sun’s rays on a hot day by the beach. And keep drinking lots of water so that your skin looks hydrated and fresh.
- Classic shapes mixed with modern prints make for a very pretty but edgy look. Combine lace and sharp tailoring for a similar effect or bright contemporary colours with feminine cuts, and look to Erdem’s SS10 show for inspiration.
- Lace is definitely big for this season, as the ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend continues in high streets as well as on the catwalk. Lace edging on a vest top is a simple way to add it to your wardrobe, or look for a pretty 60s style cream lace dress with a silk slip underneath.
- Neutrals are set to be a big trend for the autumn/winter season, so if you want to start building a wearable wardrobe for the whole year, look to colours like camel, cream, beige, ivory, taupe, peach, nude and antique rose.
