How to get
the three season fashion trend
+ shopping guide for red
Dear Sharon: I’m trying to keep
one step ahead
of fashion trends, but
feel like I’m lagging behind. I watch all the runway shows and red carpet events
wishing that and wish I could afford everything I see, but alas my eyes are
bigger than my budget.
Don’t get me wrong, I can afford nice things, just not
something that’s out before it even gets from the runway to the stores! What’s a
good fashion investment to keep my
wardrobe up-to-date and last awhile? --
Ahead of the Trend, Marblehead, MA
Dear Ahead of the Trend: Here’s a concept: Stop thinking like a consumer and
start to think
like a stylist. If you want to get longevity out of a trend, look
at what’s right on the streets (designers do), what’s
on the catwalk for the
season ahead, and what’s saturated in the stores, because once a trend is all
over the place, it’s out.
Red
is kicking around a bit, but it is going head-on strong from this spring
right into a
heavy hit for fall 2008— that’s three seasons that are as right as
red! From the international runways of Balenciaga, Tommy Hilfiger,
Zac Posen,
Tuleh, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Vickor & Rolf, and Gucci for guys, red is making a
very visual impact in their collections.
You can get the nuance of the designer trend with just the precise punch of
color! And, best off, since a little bit of the classic color adds a lot, merely
a hit of passion-evoking scarlet, vermillion, cherry, stop light, or crimson can
packs a major wallop of modernity to your style— look out our street-style glamourellas and you’ll see just how easy this look is to master.

Right now, why not add a pair of
cutting-edge
red tights to an otherwise black
outfit? Or, keep the black tights, but wear a pair of skyscraper red
platforms.
I know that I can’t wait for the warmer weather to wear my new bright red Paul
Smith cropped trench coat- it looks so chic with just a white shirt and dark
trousers. April showers style-on with some cute red Wellies or a red headband to
hold your ponytail back. As the weather warms up, try a red mini with bare legs
and a neutral wedge shoe in tan or taupe. That gorgeous red, silky blouse will
work right into fall.
The dark eye and pale lip is so over-rated, glom on to an old-time
Hollywood
glamour of a neutral eye and very precise
matte red lip
—bright or deep- to
really look hot. At night, add a dash of gloss on top, but do keep your hair
slightly undone for a younger look.
Whatever you, keep in mind that red is a
very
powerful
accent color, do not drown yourself in too much of a good thing.
Style on…
