The latest fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2007 are all about 'dresses'. There is a fashion transition happening at the moment with romance in dress, versus futurism in dress.
On a fashion history point, I note that hemlines have been rising steadily for some two seasons and the ultra-short catwalk silhouette is leading to extreme leggy looks in mass produced garments for spring 2007.
This cream and orange bud print shift top (£45) is modelled here as a dress. See picture to the right from the main range of UK retailer Principles. With its bright abstract print, the short mini principles dress captures the optimistic spirit of summer and the graphic styling of late noughties prints. It can easily be worn either as a dress or tunic top.
The new sobriety in fashion demands that for Spring/Summer 2007 the midriff be covered, but expect to show a bit more leg .
Quite a bit more leg......
