Dress Trends for Spring-Summer 2011

When choosing a proper office outfit one should consider to balance the look by going for simple shapes, colorless clothes, yet not too dull, and not too short or too long clothes. Put your imagination to the test and create original office outfits looking at the spring/summer trends. From retro to modern, you have plenty of sources of inspiration.

If you love wearing dresses even at the office, this year you’ll be surprised by the numerous versions of shapes, colors and texture combinations.

The little black dress is a classic, timeless piece especially if matched with an oversized necklace. Following the 2010 trends you should pair the LBD with a white blazer or with one in the classic white-black combination. White and black is the hottest combination this year, that designers used it to recreate retro prints, with dots and stripes, on modern dresses, juxtaposing diaphanous fabrics.

Bows, flounces and frills represent an interesting alternative for creating a retro-chic style, especially if we keep the color scale white-black-gray-ecru, and eventually with red tones. A winning combination is that of a diaphanous dress with floral prints, a plain cardigan or coat trench and a fine belt.

For those of you who are more into chromatic minimalism there are several ways of choosing a modern office dress. On the other hand, you may be the avangardist type and then you can enjoy the neon shades proposed this year such as blue, green and yellow. By combining them with minimalist clothing items, it will certainly be the boldest office statement.
