Spring Trends

Tennesseegal — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 19:51:58 GMT

There are several fashion blogs that I read and these are some of the trends they are seeing for the spring. One blogger listed 8 and the second blogger listed 10. Of course, these are trends-wear what you like! That's what we are going to do!! However, this is a lot of what we will see in stores and online. I always find it interesting to see what is in "store" for the next season.

From the first blogger:

1.shirtdresses

2.tie dye prints

3.neon

4.polka dots

5.puff sleeves

6.floral prints

7.denim trends

8.square toe shoes

From the second blogger:

1.prep trend in foot wear

2.suits

3.crochet

4.big bags

5.elevated polka dots

6.wide leg pants

7.plaid

8.psychedelic prints

9.neon and brights

10.long dresses

ETA- My two favorite fashionistas!!

I follow Justine Leconte, Busbee Style, and several others since magazines have gotten so poor, and this is the first I've heard of square shoes. Interesting.

I don't like pointy toe shoes because my foot is wide through the toe area so I would like to try some of these on.

@Tennesseegal I like almond toe the best. Almond toe fits more comfortably than pointed too.

I like almond toe as well. Shoes are something that I don't order because I just prefer to try them on in a store. Luckily, there are several good shoe stores locally.

Some of these trends sound like what was in last year. Polka dots to me are a classic staple, not a trend, but your mileage may vary. Same with florals, but I guess it depends on the type and print.

I mix it up on occasion with a wide leg trouser so I'm cool with that but what the heck is an 'elevated' polka dot??!

@ECBG Those are beautiful shoes!

Nothing to do with the original subject but even in a sac and some kind of circus hat Lucille Ball was a beautiful woman.

How about "neons"? I was in Walmart last weekend and noticed the racks of neon colors. It took me back to my retail days, back in the 80s, when suddenly everything was neon. They make the rounds every 10 years or so, and don't seem to hang around for more than a year or two. Of course, it's all new for the young ones.

I guess I'm out of luck, none of this sounds good to me. 🤷‍♀️

@Andreatoo

I think it means that the outfit has different sizes of polka dots.

@Tennesseegal

In this context they probably mean better than the average polka dot so I'm very curious to see what that better polka dot looks like?! This came off of the Vida site listed under 'polka dots, elevated'

I prefer pointy or almond toe shoes. Any other looks too clunky on my feet.

I'll go along with my usual classic styles, suits, big handbags, plaid, denim, and some of the preppy shoes like loafers, oxfords, and driving shoes.

I'll leave neons and psychodelics to teenagers and 20 somethings.

I have about a dozen pairs of wide leg pants that I’ve collected over the years. I like them in the warmer weather. More comfortable.

ALRATIBA — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 22:09:14 GMT

What I don’t do are florals, denim, dresses, neon, puff sleeves, suits, plaid . I do like bright colors.

I wear what I like, what's comfortable and what suits my lifestyle. I pay absolutely no attention to bloggers or influencers.

@Andreatoo

Somewhere, and I can't remember where, I saw a black/white blouse that had small dots on the sleeves and a larger dot on the body of the blouse. That's why I thought elevated dots meant different sizes. Who knows? I have a brown and white dot dress from Dotty Graver!

@Tennesseegal

I'm sure we will see 1 million interpretations of what's elevated when it comes to polkadots! LOL
