Spring 2009 Fashion Trends for Women's Shirts

The hottest trends in women's shirts for spring 2009 run the range from the traditional to the unpredictable. Shirts made of sheer, floating fabrics are going to be the newest trend for spring. The basic button down will continue to be popular, while polo shirts and T-shirts will be holding their own as well. When I look at the photographs of the newest designs for spring I think of one word - dramatic. The feminine styles are more delicate than I have seen in years. The reserved styles have also undergone a change in detailing. The colors are brighter and fresher.

The traditional button down shirt has a fresh new flair for spring 2009. The fabrics have a soft, touchable appearance. The collars are semi-wide, with crisp, pointed tips. Cuffs put a refined, polished finish at the end of soft, draping sleeves to bring the individual details together. Most clothing retailers will carry this popular style of shirt, but one online place to purchase these feminine spring shirts is anntaylor.com.

Blouses with military detailing are marching in for spring. Button down shirts with added snappish details are an example of this trend. The fit is slim and fitted. The details are crisp and formal without giving up femininity.

Bright blues and plunging necklines add drama and a young look for spring. Gone are the sleepy, gentle blues of past seasons. The blues that will be hottest for spring designs are the blues that come from nature. The colors of the sky at the beach - the blues of the Caribbean - are the blues of spring 2009. One designer that used these piercing blues is Michael Kors. His designs can be purchased through his website michaelkors.com. If a t-shirt in the new spring colors (and a price point that is lower than a designer label) is what you have in mind, check out http://www.sierratradingpost.com/d/10012_Womens-Shirts-and-Blouses.html .

Flowing, almost transparent, draped fabrics are making a strong showing this spring. Shirts made from these sheer fabrics look as if they might float away. They have an ultra-feminine look. They also have the added benefit of making the wearer look slim when paired with the right slacks or skirt. Diane von Furstenburg's spring designs are perfect examples of this ultra-feminine look.

Colorful fabrics and graceful floral prints will be another widespread trend for spring. Ralph Lauren is one designer who took full advantage of both of these hot new design trends for spring 2009. Amazing colors and details are present in Ralph Lauren designs - available through ralphlauren.com.
