Summer 09 Fashion Trends for Bridesmaid Gifts
If you are getting married this summer and you have yet to buy your bridesmaid gifts (don’t panic!), there is still time. One option is to get your best gals one or two fashion items from the summer 09 collection. So, as soon as they get out of their bridesmaid dresses, they’ll have something much trendier to wear.
Although the fashion tastes of your bridesmaids may widely span the spectrum, from the classic Michelle Obama look to the ever-changing style of Victoria Beckham, there is something for everyone this summer.
Bold Fashion Statement
For the bridesmaids in your party who have always been a bit hard to tame, any one of these items from this summer’s fashion trends will make them want to strut their stuff.
- One-Shoulder Top or Dress: It seems that only baring one shoulder is just as sexy (if not more!) than baring two.
- Bold Accessories: The bigger the better! Big earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are all the rage this summer.
- See Through Fabric: Designers are opting to not provide a second layer to many tops and dresses. Perfect for those who don’t mind showing a little skin.
Understated Fashion Statement
Not everyone wants to walk down the street looking like they’re late for a modeling audition. Here are some hot summer fashion trends that will appease your conservative bridesmaids.
- Butterflies: They’re everywhere (on tops, dresses, pants) and make a very feminine statement. Or you can opt for a butterfly necklace or broach.
- Ruffles & Bows: Not just for little girls, it seems, ruffles and bows are making a comeback in the guise of ruffled shirts, skirts, dresses…
- Bright Colors: Although she may shy away from hot pink pants, injecting a bit of color into a classic woman’s wardrobe is ok, such as a lovely summer scarf.
