THE SPLITTING FASHION-CULOTTES

The subject of fashion may seem frivolous to some until we realize that women's dress has always reflected the dynamic changes in society. But when changes are good they come and attract people again and again.

One of the most acceptable changes which took place in seventies is culottes-divided skirt, which is in fashion now days also.

Culottes are also known as a split skirt or divided skirt. It has also been called a skort

(a portmanteau for skirt and shorts). While some garments sold as culottes resemble short trousers, to truly be culottes they need to look like a skirt. Thus they differ from trousers or shorts by being much fuller at the bottom hem than at the waist.

One of the most chased after fashions of the sixties and seventies were culottes. Many active housewives loved them for their versatility. It was the movement, look, and dressiness of a longer skirt with the modesty of pants. You could  run errands, and attend an exercise class all without changing your clothes or worrying about revealing too much because culottes kept everything covered while making the owner of the culottes look a little more "put together" than if she wore say a sweat suit or jeans and a t-shirt. Culottes had a more dressy like quality.

Culottes were introduced in women's wardrobe as a sports wear but when something which is very stylish, sexy as well as comfortable cannot go out without fashion designers moderation; designers gave culottes a new meaning.

Today culottes can be one of the most versatile pieces of clothing in your closet. Simply strut a pair of black culottes with a t-shirt and sandals for those more casual gatherings or switch to a dressier type of blouse and shoes for a more formal occasion and no one will be the wiser. You definitely need to give the culottes a chance in your closet today; for sure you won't be sorry you did

So all you fashion follower girls, hurry and go buy a trendy yet stylish yet comfortable piece of culottes as per your choice!!!!

The summer is back and back with the latest fashion trends and some old ones too but with a coating of new and fresh designs. Fashion is something which keeps on changing all the time but as it history repeats itself, fashion too comes again and again if it gets popular.

Year 2009 revives the 80's Fringe fashion with more style and essence. Runways and catwalks are bombarded with designer labels that will not let themselves left behind for any latest trends in fashion

Nothing suits the feminine mood better this season than the return of the fun and flirty flapper dress. These dresses are part of the fun and flirty fringe-fashion trend hitting the high street, with dresses, skirts, shoes and purses, even swimwear.

We have to tread carefully with fringe. Sure, it's fun in a retro/flapper-esque way. But fringe is so hyper-trendy right now, that overindulging will surely lead to a what-was-I-thinking moment in the near future.

Fringe benefits are the easy way its decoration can be used just at the neckline or hem.

When we are talking fringed clothing, haute is cool, with flapper fringe dresses found with designer labels

Fringes are practically on everything: dresses, bags, boots, scarves, moccasins and even jewelry. Seeing the Fringe trend hit most of the retail stores proves a revival of 60's and 70's.

If you decide to support the fringe trend this season, then make sure not to overdo it by wearing more than one item with fringe detailing at a time! This is very important.

Year 2008 was a fashionably hit year, which had all the good stuff from clothes to accessories, everything was fashionable, vibrant and cool colors,prints,texture, and all kinds of silhouettes, in short it was a good year for fashion conscious people.

But as the year has gone by giving us so much good things in fashion, and spring/summer 2009 has entered ,its time to refresh your wardrobe, because if you want to be fashionable you have to stay with it, and fashion keeps on changing.

This year the colors most in fashion are soft nude colors, but the year's biggest, sexiest, trendiest, fashionable trend is see-through clothes.

Yes, the trend for sheer fabric is back, it was in fashion earlier also, but this time it comes back with a more wearable way.

Instead, designers have combined layer and layer of sheer fabrics to create a subtle yet super sexy look.

Sheer and semi-transparent clothes can be a great way to show off the season's bright colors without being too gaudy. By layering sheer clothes on top of a brighter tone it still gives the color and vibrancy of the shade, yet in a more delicate way.

Being fashionable doesn't means you have to wear a full on transparent trend, as we can't walk on road or bus like this, but you can add a bit of transparency in your clothes. Wear a half transparent top with a straight pair of trousers or denims or even skirts. Or just add this sheer fabric into the sleeves of top or in back. Even the border of sarees can be made with a sheer fabric.

In short, you can follow this trend freely, and its up to you how to add this trend into you wardrobe, you can even buy bags of transparent material.

The trend of transparent clothing doesn't make you walk around half naked: playing hide-and-seek with several layers makes you appear mysterious and alluring.

So girls go now, and make a peek-a-boo-wardrobe!!!!!
