Spring 2011 clothing trends

Tassels

Sometimes a little detail is all it takes to change the feel of a garment. In Spring 2011 one of the most popular trimmings is one that signifies luxury or, at times, the exotic. Adorning everything from handbags to shoes to dresses and hats

Kitten heels

Kitten heels are making a somewhat controversial return, spurred on by the trend of '50s and '60s dressing. More comfortable yet less appealing than their higher counterparts, kitten heels can work particularly well when dainty, pointed, and either retro-inspired or minimalist. When it comes to this style in 2011 it's all about the theming. For Spring, kitten heeled sandals are also an option

Clogs

Clunky wooden shoes. It doesn't sound like the most glamorous or practical of footwear trends, and yet the clog reached new heights in 2010 and will continue into 2011. Heeled versions are by far the best, with a preference for Swedish styles. For Spring experiment with lighter fabrics like canvas or linen, as well as open-toed styles

Cat eye Sunglasses

With the warmer weather comes the need to update your sunglasses collection with a new and on-trend style. For Spring 2011 the best accompaniment to a vintage-inspired look is a shape that screams '50s/'60s glamour.

70's glamours

Just as the '50s and '60s are back, so too are particular elements of the '70s. There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour. When it comes to the latter, think dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day

60's ladylike

The silhouettes of the 1950s and 1960s make a strong return, with shapes that accentuate curves and foster femininity. A hip-hugging sheath dress with a below-the-knee hem is the ultimate in hourglass dressing, while the full circle skirt and dress remain at the core of the trend. For Spring 2010 introduce fresh colours, prints and light summery fabrics

Lace Clothing

Lace influences for Spring 2010 are more to the classic side with quality antique-style fabrics the key to the trend. Less of the allover, stretch lace and more of the unique takes. Click to read more about the lace dress trend.

Maxi Dress

Every season trends evolve, and every season two trends merge. In that regards, spring 2011 will be no different from what has come before it. What will be different, however, is the season's take on a staple for many women's summer wardrobe: the maxi dress. In spring 2011 it'll merge with another trend favourite to give us the sheer maxi dress trend.

As of spring 2011 the military fashion trend will have been with us for over a decade. And for that decade it's been great, we've loved it, but 10 years later we have to admit: spring 2011 is the time to move on. And for spring / summer 2011 it's going to get just that because here comes the biker trend.
