Whatever capricious the weather was, we are happy to update the summer wardrobe, because on the calendar - June! Women dressed in seductive open dresses, and on the asphalt ringing studs sounded ... Perhaps, one of the favorite elements of summer clothes - it's tops. The pages of the women's magazine Allwomens.ru review the tops of fashionable summer-2008.
Summer, heat ... And even if the holiday is still in the distant future, you still want some light and comfortable clothes.
Unfortunately, the lightest and most comfortable for the hot season clothes categorically does not accept business dress code.
However, the work - albeit significant, but still only a part of our life. And under any other circumstances, we can feel more free in choosing your wardrobe.
And what can be called the most summer kind of clothes (well, except for a bathing suit, of course)? Probably, the topic - a light open blouse without sleeves.
For hot weather it is, perhaps, a universal item of ladies' wardrobe. Some designers manage to create such models that seem quite adequate even in a business setting.
Especially succeeded in this fashion house Armani and Donna Karan. Dense, but light tops without aggressive sexuality, these fashion houses offer to wear under summer linen and cotton jackets or jackets.
Another part of this set may be linen trousers or narrow straight skirts made of dense cotton. And if the color palette is also neutral enough, it is understandable why such tops are allowed in the wardrobe of a business woman.
But we are still not about this. This summer, designers offer a not very wide choice of tops, and most of the proposed models are somewhat laconic.
In the fashion collections, which, in general, are marked with bright colors and cheerful motley, bright and colorful tops were not so many.
Just a T-shirt
Women borrowed from men, it seems, already almost all the items of the wardrobe. The usual simple knitted shirt was no exception.
Only enterprising women saw in it a much greater potential and began to use it as a garment, not linen.
By the way, it happened not so long ago, but a simple knitted shirt almost immediately proved to be just as convenient and sexy a subject of a women's wardrobe as a man's shirt.
However, as a thing from the category of must-have knitted mens-style shirt, perhaps, this summer for the first time in recent years.
With such an accent in their collections were noted many fashion houses - D & G, Emporio Armani, Helmut Lang, Isabel Marant, Karl Lagerfeld, Prada, Sport Max, Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera.
It is interesting that not only white, but also many other color variants are presented: beige, blue, pearl gray, khaki. Similarly, the knitted fabric differs in the variety of texture in different designers - from the usual dense linen jersey to a sparse and translucent "spider".
Keep the shape
But the tops in the form of corsets and half-corsets were among the fashion hits for several seasons in a row.
That's only as a sample, they took either brutal erotica (black leather and vinyl), or very remote historical epochs - the Middle Ages, Baroque.
All this led to severe forms of such corsets and abundant defiant decor. Sooner or later it was boring.
This summer, tops-corsets are also present on the world's catwalks, but they have become more concise, light and modern.
If we talk about retro, they rather refer to the forms of 40-50-ies of the last century, when women refused from rigid corsets, and they wanted to have magnificent forms.
Today's tops-corsets are tight-fitting models with open shoulders, from dense fabrics, with minimal decor. They can be worn with shorts, trousers, and skirts of any length and volume.
The lack of decor and laconicism of the form speaks more about the sporting style. By the way, they will look good with light jackets and jackets.
Romance of youth
Like sports tops-corsets, aerial romantic tops-razletayki refer to the youth sector of fashion.
Such tops should be worn over trousers or skirts.
They can have an overstated waist in Empire style, a wide flirt or accented cup bra.
In general, there are many variants of the top, but the bottom part of all such models is the same: wide, flared from the level of the coquette or that very high waist line.
The appearance of such a silhouette in the summer fashion collections is understandable, given that the designers were carried away this season by the hippy style.
Such topics are just with a light heart and can be attributed to this style of clothing. Most of the proposed options for both used fabrics and prints also clearly refer to the style of hippies.
Since such an air flared top creates an extra volume in the upper part of the figure, it should be worn with tight trousers, narrow shorts or a plain plain skirt. Colorful lush skirts, complete with similar tops will create a very "gypsy" image.
Fad quirks
And what remains self-confident women?
Many of them also have a long and passionate affection for open topics and are happy to wear them under different circumstances.
It seems that in the fashion collections this summer there are quite nice options that will suit them to the liking and at the same time will not allow to fall into childhood, involuntarily moving into another age group.
First of all, you can recommend the tops with a more complex and interesting cut.
It seems that this is simply impossible to achieve because of the small volume of this piece of ladies' wardrobe. But this is far from the case.
Designers offer sophisticated draperies (I emphasize: draperies, not ruffles!), An unusual armhole line, experiments with straps and gates finishing.
All this looks very elegant, and all this must be able to wear. That is why most of these models are perfectly suitable for any festive social events. Here, by the way, embroidery, and metallized thread, and appliqués are already found in decoration.
