Summer Fashion 2012

2012 is fast approaching, and with that new designs for summer fashion 2012 are also seen on the horizon.  2012 has brought back the trends of the 70’s era, and the 1960-70 fashion is making a revival.  Wide eyes with big lashes, bright black colours, abstract patterns, short, boyish hairstyles, masculine flat shoes all mark resurgence in summer 2012. The sixties look incorporates a look made up of heavy lace work, low-stung belts, monochrome with white, cream or black and peter pan collars. Make sure that you are all set for the summer fashions 2012.

A very effortless clothing design, you can start off by a cream coloured dress, with a square neck, and wide sleeves. A bit of lace applied at the bottom and a stitching pattern completes the main body. Layered sleeves will go along nicely as well. A same coloured head scarf with a big bow at the back gives the perfect summer outlook to your head. A small handbag of the same colour completes your accessories. Monotone clothes are really it in summerfashion 2012.

Another dress making a comeback for summer fashion 2012 are flapper dresses, making a revival after the twenties. Flapper dresses offer a loose fitting comfortable dress, with embellishments such fringing and beading that the 1920’s fashion was known for.  Loose flapper dresses offer a easy to wear, clothing line that is both trendy, and easy to the wearer. You could use laces, a little bit of embroidery work, patterns and some flare at the bottom. But keep in mind, monotone is the way to go in 2012, and that is what you should be keeping in mind.

Coming onto hairstyles, this year marks the revival of the old, and the hairstyles keep up, with the summer fashion 2012 being influenced by the sixties. There is a unique undertone of a modernist style appearing, but infuse them with iconic 20th century styles, and you will have dominant styles for the new year’s summer fashion.Homemade curls, both nostalgic with a modern touch, this quirky style features both the old and the new. Soft and subtle, but eye-catching at the same moment. Suited for long straight and wavy hair, this hairstyle gives a very soft look. A bit of blow-dry lotion, clean parting through the middle, and bobby pin will do the job. Tuck your hair behind the ear while still a bit moist, and then use blow dryer.

With the return of the era of the seventies, no surprise that Afro hair are making a comeback. Appearing on the streets and photo shoots, Afro hair is being interpreted as a soft and dreamy style for summer fashion 2012.Given that 2012 is the year of the revival of the old and buried, it is no surprise that classics will define the year. Equally unsurprising is the fact that the French twist will feature a lot in Summer Fashion 2012 hairstyles. Suited for long straight and wavy hair. Massage a thickening lotion, all through damp hair, and to maintain natural movement, avoid using a brush, and let the hair dry naturally. Back brush the hair to add more texture, start from the nape of the neck.  Finger comb the hair back, and make a French twist, and secure with bobby pins. Don’t pull the hair too tightly, you need to maintain the naturalness of the look.

Accessories of summer fashion 2012 are equally as important as your dress. A thing making a big appearance is the Doctors bag. Taking the fact that women like to stuff a lot in their handbags into consideration, the box-shaped Gladstone bag is coming onto the scene, after being in celebrities’ arms for quite some time. It has changed its shape and size over the years, but recently it has been classified as an accessory trend for 2012.
