Summer Trends to Try in the Philippines this 2012

Summer in this country is hot during daytime and windy at nighttime, so all the fashionista ladies in here still have the option to either bare or cover up. Let's check the trends and choose where to best wear them.



Pastel Colors - I love this trend. The colors are softer and very much feminine. This is like the baby version of color blocking. Looking at the pieces above, I am thinking of office, church and dining with friends.




Tribal print - This trend started last year but I believe it's still on. It is not easy to pull off this look because you will be dealing with a combination of graphic prints with dark and warm colors. Best to wear this trend to the beach or when shopping.




Cap Toes - This is a classic trend which applies to shoes alone. Wear a cap toe pumps in a party or cap toe flats for shopping and be as fashionable as Twiggy or Audrey Hepburn in the 60s.


Maxi Dress - I think maxi dresses will never go out of style. They're perfect to wear anytime of the year in the Philippines. Like the tribal trend, this one is also best to wear to the beach, shopping, or even family gatherings. If you don't have a maxi dress yet, better get one now.




Anything Chiffon - So far, this is the trendiest of the season. I can see lots of girls wearing this trend. Be it a loose top, a maxi skirt, or a mullet skirt.. Pinays love it. Chiffon is a breathable fabric which makes it perfect for the summer. Wear those skirts for malling and those dresses for formal ocassions.





Sexy & Vintage Swimsuits - S from the word 'summer' means swimsuit. Show off that toned body by wearing a bandeau, triangle bikini, or any two piece swimwear. Vintage is also back like retro polka dots, one piece pinup and high waisted swimsuit.
