Color Play

To celebrate the new season with color, shoes come out in rainbow hues, whther they?r made of canvas, soft nappa or glistening patent leather. Eyecatching soles in red or radiant pink inspire the color mixes for ballet flats and espadrilles. Striped wedge soles will also be hard not to notice. For dresses, the fabric used are ultra-light technical fabrics that are commonly used for chic pieces. Color-blocking is also back, whether in block stripes on tops or as piping or lining on footwear. The color scheme is mostly motivated by sportswear. Materials, details, styles and everything can be found with the boldest colors such as fire engine red, sunflower yellow, pouty pink and aqua blue that are courageously combined with each other.

Sailor Spin

Ropes, cords and huge eyelets aren?t manly at all for they style sandals and pumps with a nautical hint.? Shoe styles include striped canvas shoes, and rope soled ballet flats and sandals. All the nicest shades of blue are most sought sfter. Shorts are worn with fine cotton shirts printed with ring stripes. Easy-to-carry summer parkas and jackets in washed canvas are fashionably worn without much fuss.

Easygoing Seventies

For summer 2012, it is a must for boys to be clad in suede moccasins or desert boots in washed leather with athletic soles. For girls, platform heels, sexy wedges or block heels are highly recommended. Floral dresses, denim shorts and flared jeans are all the rage. Sheer blouses, embroidered tunics are mixed with denim.
