Stylephile – Spring 2009
With soft fabrics and standout accessories, the sophisticated trends of 2009 possess an air of youthful elegance. Regal classics fuse with unconventional pieces, breathing fresh life into a style that will never fade away.
Fashion Tips:
Rules about patterns and colors have recently been loosened. From unique color combinations to single-toned accessories, seemingly opposing items can be worn together without question.
Stacked heels bring character to simple dresses and make legs look miles-long.
Using belts or ribbons to cinch a waistline can transform shift dresses and tunics into chic, slimming attire.
Accents like striking watches, charming ties and detailed buttons can incorporate bold statements into classic men’s ensembles.
Sport jackets elevate oxfords, sweaters and tees to a higher level of pristine masculinity
