Women?s Guide: Fashion Trends for Summer 2005

If you are like me and many others the warm weather motivates you to do or try new things. It even inspires you to pay more attention to your overall appearance. But, before you go shopping I suggest you take a look at this list to see what is in style.

? Cropped pants ? If you see pants that are too long to classify in the shorts category and too short to qualify as the regular long pants those are referred as cropped pants. They fit inches below the knee but, are placed above the ankle.

? Natural hair ? Good news for ladies with curly or wavy hair. Curls are in; all you have to do is wash your hairs apply some gel or mousse and blow dry with a diffuser. For define curls utilize hair rollers.

? Color crazy- Bright colors are in for 2005. Some of the most common are kiwi, turquoise, coral, fuchsia, mango, yellow, aqua, melon, violet and many more? Do not ignore some of the regular pastel colors such as light pink. White should always be in your ward robe during the summer season.

? Knee length skirts- They come in all styles from pleated to form fitting.

? Cuffed pants- Many of the cuffed pants are also cropped.

? Tunics- They will not only give you a different look. You will also feel comfortable and cool.

? Prints, patterns and stripes, embroidered etc. are in this summer. So, do not be afraid to buy a blouse with floral print (any type of prints).

? About the fabric- Silk is definitely in style. Do not be surprise to see a lot of lace jewels, beads, rhinestones etc. on clothes.

? Accessorize- You will find anything from drop earrings to beaded and wooded jewelry. Other very popular accessories are brooches, variety of buckle belts, pendants, neck silk scarfs and many more. Just make sure that you do not over accessorize.

? Shoes- Comfort is also chic now. I have never seen such a variety of thong sandals. Mules, flip flops, flats, and moccasins are "a la mode" also. Wedges are good for the ladies that like to wear higher shoes; they are comfortable as long as you are able to sustain balance.
