2011 summer fashion trends



The below post is indicative only of how Gabista might be used to prompt retail online product discussion by bloggers. Please not we are not representing ourselves as fashion bloggers or authorities on all things fashion!

How do you get your wardrobe inspiration? Is it from wandering through the retail stores, shopping online or reading the ever expanding fashion blogs or magazine advertorials for ideas?

Though 2011 will see us move still further from the economic woes of recent history, don’t expect a massive change in the tangent of fashion: the major excesses of the last decade are gone, and 2011 will see us continue on with a drive of subtle consumption mixed with obvious quality.

For example, frugal, recycle is here to stay. That might seem foreign to many but this philosophy has long been the hallmark of style icons. Mix and match to make a quality statement.

2011 summer fashion trends will accommodate the fact that we’ll be buying less but spending more. That means more quality. Fewer indulgences, but better statement pieces.

So here are some great tips:

Fabrics – gorgeous colours are always an eye catcher




Think about this when it comes to beach wear too!




Shoes that make classic statements outwear seasonal trends
