As the sultry weather takes toll of one’s senses, stay super cool and perky with these great trends. One has seen several fashion houses embracing the delicate dreamy fable overtures with prancing ruffles, gatherings of decoration all summing up to a magical aura.

A frequent sight is the single-shoulder fashion trend picking up significant momentum with this being incorporated in fitted dresses, tops to delicately drape flowing gowns with Roman-Greek overtures. Many fashion houses seem to have tugged at the bow theme this summer with larger-than-normal sized bows making their presence felt on the ramp. Bling and shimmer seems to be big this year, with chic embossing of jewels like precious to semi-precious gems, cut glass, crystal work on jacket, bangles, neck-pieces, earrings, anklets, day-time dresses, coats, tops, tunics. Bizarre or traditional, sparkler covered clothing are a definite hit this 2009.

One saw a lot of celebs sporting the bandaged look in dresses with snugly fitted, short-strappy dresses with single-shoulder pattern. Famed names like YSL, Paul Smith have favoured the Afro-Oriental look this summer with animal prints on tops, asymmetrical skirts in colours of nature like green, browns.

Inner wear has come to the forefront as outer wear, with sleek tights, leggings, stockings becoming a favoured lineage that is bound to transcend way up to 2010.Wardrobes based on stylish basics with contemporary, no-hassle look with body structured silhouettes many times mistaken as the alternate skin are bound to stay for quite a while.

As the chill will eventually set in, the Over- the- knee or Over-the-thigh boots in stylish suede and innovatively styled leather, will definitely be taking centre stage at many occasions. One can expect checks to make a big splash this fall with sober effect. One can expect overcoats in furs, good-quality fabric volumes make for the snugly effect. One can expect fabrics in delicate-weaved, compact, multi-weave variety with vivid patterns to gain significant focus this year end. Eco-paly fabrics like cotton are definitely on the top of the checklist. Frilly Laces, rich soft materials like velvets, silk, jersey in varied hued shadings, add the essential delicate womanly touch.

One can expect Technicolor influences in tweeds and checks. With hip prints, varied coloured denims, reused yarns creating dramatic effect are bound to make a bold statement this year.
