Summer Clothing Must-Buys for 2007

Erica Dallas
Summer 2007 is here and its time out for the bland fashions. It is time to bring color and pizzazz into our wardrobe. Some people have a harder time than others and need direction on what the hottest fashions are every summer, spring, fall, and winter. Women - if you want to make sure you do not get pulled over by the fashion police, then take my advice and rock some of these hot summer styles:

Animal print: Leopard and zebra prints are in for 2007. Whether it's a purse, shoes, or clothing, the print definitely makes a bold statement in your wardrobe. Make sure you do not overdo it and wear all types of prints at once. My suggestion is that you wear a solid color and add one print to the solid or carry a leopard or zebra print accessory. Having a matching purse with the shoes is okay as well. Show your wild side with looks such as the

Peep toe shoe: The peep toe style is most assuredly one of the hottest styles this summer. You see the shoes everywhere - at all of the department stores and on everyone's to buy list. They come in all sorts of colors as well, with fabrics ranging from patent to satin to leather. Fit is very important when picking out a shoe so be sure that there's no shoe cleavage or extra toe hanging out of your shoes.

Unique Handbags: Time is out for the everyday regular, bland handbag that you are so careless with and spill soft drink on it without a thought. This day and age, its all about the handbag. Trust me, brand name is not important. The color, the design, the texture is what its about. Choose the size of your handbag to fit your length and width. Let go of the normal black, brown and beige colors, and find a red, orange, blue, or printed purse that really shows your inner style. The clutch bag is a particular must-have for the summer.

White Suit: Although there will be limited places or you to wear this ensemble, the white suit is a very classy outfit to have in your closet. This can be a suit that has Capri pants instead of slacks but both are equally hot. What is most important is the fit of the suit. We can usually get away with wearing a suit that is not tailor made to our body type. However, it is a fashion no-no to wear a white suit and have it falling off your body or entirely too tight. The cut, the style and the fit will make the suit look outstanding on you.

Silver and Gold Hoop Earrings: The hoop earrings are here to stay! The hoops can be small when you are going for a professional look at work. When you are out and about, the big hoops make a fashion statement! Keep in mind that you shouldn't wear hoop earrings with everything. Most people make that mistake.

Designer Shades: The shades are where its at! There may have been a time when you went to the department store and found a cheap pair of shades but that day should be way past you. Its time to take shopping for shades seriously. Find shades that flatter your face, keep the sun out, and show off your wild side!

This summer is going to be a hot one! Do not forget your suntan lotion, your glasses, and your up-to-date summer wardrobe. Another tip: go to department stores and take a look at the well dressed mannequins. You can find good fashion ideas and learn how to put together great outfits.
